Sam runs away from his abusive family to Spain to get married to his engaged girlfriend at the age of 21, leaving his 16-year-old brother Jamie behind.
Just when Sam thinks he's got all planned out, he meets a stranger who sees through every mask he's ever worn, and Sam begins to question everything he thought love was. As secrets about his family surface and the pressure of "forever" closes in, he finds himself torn between the life he promised... and the life that makes him feel alive.
Because sometimes love isn't about who you've chosen.
It's about who you become when you finally stop pretending.
And sometimes, the summer before forever changes everything.

Nothing But the Truth: A Ryan Morgan Series Book 1 [AMAZON AND BARNES & NOBLE]
Ryan Morgan has always lived by one promise: to protect his younger brother, Jacob. Years earlier, when a drunk driver stole their parents' lives, Ryan became Jacob's legal guardian. He was just eighteen. Jacob, only seven at the time, has lived with autism his entire life. Ryan raised him through grief, school challenges, and the growing pains of adolescence-all while chasing his own dream of becoming a lawyer. Now, at twenty-six, Ryan is a rising star at the prosecutor's office. His career is taking off, his life seems finally on track, and he is proud to have kept his promise to his parents. But everything shatters the night Jacob finds the lifeless body of his best friend, Izza Miller, near a river. Jacob insists he didn't hurt her. The police insist otherwise. Evidence points to Jacob. Fingerprints. Location. Suspicion. Within days, the boy Ryan swore to protect is in handcuffs, facing a murder charge that could ruin his life.

He gets to begin again, build something new, while Mari grapples with a fractured life and all the scattered pieces of herself.

Helliam/Willry oneshots And Short Stories
Cover by J_teeee Just random stories of Henry and William that are either oneshots or few-chapter stories. There will be different timelines and AU's, but I will write a short explanation of the surroundings at the start of the chapter. Stories might contain: -slight bad grammar -angst -fluff -blood -gore -homophobia -other I will put a trigger warning at the start of each chapter. You can also request stuff. Description for both of them: ▪︎Henry is short strong man with sand-coloured hair and ocean blue eyes liked among people and is nice and open. He cares a lot for people that are close to him and is the only one that scolds William for not being careful (and getting away with it). But he has problems with trusting people too much, making him vulnerable and easy to (mentally) hurt. ▪︎William is a tall British boy (of course), has dark brown hair with a purple stripe and grey eyes (silver shade of grey). Introverted, feared or disliked by a lot of people and also has some sanity issues. He doesn't like opening up and despises hanging out with a group of people. He only has a soft spot for Henry and is only gentle and caring with him. Even if he dislikes something, he would actually bear it if it makes Henry happy. He knows Henry is not mentally very strong and tries to protect him from having his feelings hurt.Complete
