Finding Life Again by Kariario

Raised by cold parents who never spared him a glimpse of the attention, Kai dedicated his life to earning the affection he never received at home. Successful in his studies, devoted to his passion, he found a love that crushed him together with the realisation that he failed, and his parents would never look in his way. A year after his graduation, Kai was lost and had no idea how to pursue his life. Holding onto one person that never left his side, he decided to move forward and battle all the traumas that haunted him. He never expected that the person who would help him the most would be someone he met right at the start of his journey. SMALL EXCLAIMER/ The story doesn't visually describe sexual scenes. There are just a few makeout scenes. The first few chapters are describing a person who is slightly depressed and some light anxiety behaviour situations. It is not a heavy book. The characters are not abusive. The relationships are healthy, and I hope my book is as positive and easy to read as I wanted it to be. However, for some people can be triggering as there are mentions of anxiety and social awkwardness.

Chasing A Starlight by juicyfruitsx0

!!!PAPERBACKS LIVE ON AMAZON!!! After her father's passing, Soleil moved to the fancy house in the suburbs that he left her. She called it the perfect parting gift. With a fully paid for house and less bills on her shoulders, it'd be easier to focus on her career. What she did not expect to come with the house was the grumpy man who lived next door. After countless failed attempts to talk to him, Soleil figured it was best to stay on her side of the yard. But when a storm strikes, the last place Soleil thought she'd seek shelter was at his place. The last person she thought would be so thoughtful and tender towards her was him. He's a good catholic. He swears to behave. A line has been blurred, one that was never truly there. And temptation would be the death of him, and his well-mannered values.
