The House
A charming roommate. A hopeless crush. A coming-of-age MM romance full of humor, heart, and heat. Liam // I didn't plan on falling for my roommate. I just wanted to survive college without embarrassing myself in front of Morgan-who, for the record, is everything I'm not. He's confident, charming, and somehow even looks good doing laundry. I keep telling myself it's just a crush, that the late-night talks and inside jokes don't mean anything. But every time he smiles at me, it feels less like a phase and more like falling. He's completely out of my depth. Morgan // Liam's chaos shouldn't be my problem, but somehow, it's become my favorite part of the day. He's awkward, loud, and way too easy to care about. I've had flings before, sure, but nothing that's ever felt like this-like coming home to someone who actually sees me. The rules were simple: don't get attached. But with Liam, the line between friendship and something real keeps blurring, and I'm not sure I want to stop it anymore. 📖 Part of The House Collection The House is part of The House Collection, a series of interconnected queer romances about messy friendships, found family, and falling in love when you least expect it. Each book can be read as a standalone, but together they create a larger story of friendship, humor, and romance. The House - Morgan & Liam (roommates-to-lovers, slow burn, found family) The Cabin - Julian & Owen (neighbors-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, first love) 💕 Perfect for readers who love: Roommates-to-lovers gay romance Slow burn MM love stories Queer rom-coms with banter and chaos Emotional LGBTQ+ romance Heartfelt spice with emotional payoff Found family dynamics Bonus side-romances Tender intimacy and laugh-out-loud momentsComplete
Hollywood Remake (A Celebrity Love Story)
Kate Morgan walked out on her boyfriend seven years ago, without so much as a backward glance. She had no idea he'd go on to become the notorious Aidan Sands, Hollywood 'It' Boy and frequent flier of the celebrity gossip columns. Now Aidan's back in the picture, trying to rekindle the past - and neither of them can shake the feeling that they're trapped inside some formulaic Hollywood chick flick. He's an LA heartthrob with impulse-control issues, who always gets caught with his pants down in the most embarrassing places. She's an uptight Manhattan workaholic who can't stand that he's already co-starred with every leading lady in town. Can these two produce a remake that's better than the original? Or are romantic comedies a lot less funny when you're living them in real life? Copyright © 2014 All Rights Reserved Note: This is an original novel.

Happy Endings Aren't True. #theliteraryawards2017
Previously known as Behind The Mask. Warning: I wrote this book five years ago when I was thirteen, there are ALOT of spelling/grammar mistakes. At times there might be jokes which are stupid as hell and there will be so many plot holes it will hurt but with that being said this is the first book I ever wrote which is why i'm not deleting it. _____________ Funny isnt it? The person you once used to know, doesn't remember you. The person you now love, leaves you. All Ashley wants to do now is give up, but will Thomas let her do that without knowing what is going on behind that blinding smile of hers. ______________ Not At All Your Average Cliche. Just give this book a chance. Contains strong language read at your own risk and please do not copy my story it is illegal and I will make you pay.Complete
