A perfectly normal life. Lucas has a beautiful wife. He has a nice house, a great job, and two wonderful children. His life is perfectly mundane, and he likes it that way.
But it all changes in an instant. In one night it all fell apart. What starts as a mere stomach bug, turns into an anomaly. An ability that is as strange as it is dangerous. And because of it, Lucas is a target.
They want him. They want his powers. They want to control him. And they will do whatever it takes.

Final Round [MxM]
[COMPLETED] [2025 Wattys Honorable Mention] Danny's neighbor should be illegal. There's no way someone should be that attractive. They've lived next door to each other for over a year. As a skinny, clumsy, sweater-loving, Modern Poetry professor, Danny never believed someone like him could catch the eye of someone as perfect as Brett. But when Danny (accidentally) RSVPs to a destination wedding he never wanted to attend, he realizes he's in a bind-he needs a plus-one. And somehow, Brett becomes his unexpected solution. Brett's MMA career was on the brink of greatness until an injury stopped him cold. Now, trying to reclaim his spot in the octagon and live up to heavy expectations, the last thing Brett expected was to build a friendship with the neighbor he's been crushing on. However, Danny is undeniably gorgeous and way out of his league, so he needs to maintain realistic expectations. But, when Danny needs a date for a destination wedding, Brett's first instinct is to offer his help. Being his fake boyfriend would not be a hardship. A romantic beach, a fake relationship, and one bed... what could go wrong? Genre: Contemporary Romance / Fake Relationship / Friends to Love / HEA Guaranteed / Dual POV There will be mature scenes between two men that I will mark accordingly. These scenes are intended for mature audiences. This is a spin-off of the worlds of King of Hawkings/Death & Tequila and A New Song/Beats of the Heart, but it is a stand-alone novel, so reading the other novels is unnecessary. However, some old characters will appear, so you may enjoy it more with the full background.Complete

Fight for Her
~~~ Ryder's face turned angry as he pushed me back up against a wall. His face hovered inches from mine. I could feel his hot breath on my lips that smelled like cinnamon. With his chest pressed up against mine, my heart was beating rapidly while he smirked and leaned closer, if that was even possible. "Don't mess with me Ruby. You won't like the consequences." "And what would those be?" I asked breathlessly. His lips brushed against my ear and I drew in a breath. I could feel him smiling. "You'll see." ~~~ Ryder Daniels is arrogant, cocky, and your typical bad boy. He fights, rides a motorcycle, and attracts as many girls as a local Starbucks would. With his Greek God body, every girl falls for him, but he only breaks their hearts by playing them. Ruby Buchanan is the new girl, but not the nerdy one that would get picked on, but a fighter. After her parent's divorce, she had to move from sunny California to cold Pennsylvania. The only way she can get the stress and frustration out from her is to fight. With an unexpected run in with the school's hot 'bad boy', she needs to stay away from this annoying prick with his perfect looks and smirk. She also unfortunately finds out that he's her neighbor. But after spending time with Ryder, will she be able to keep her feelings at bay? Or will she realize that there are deeper feelings toward Ryder than she thought?

They say the best things in life are unexpected but so are the worst things. Especially the worst things. Lucas Cage has been blissfully ignorant to the harsh forthcomings of the world. Who can blame him? Growing up in a successful, millionaire family where legendary boxers are your blood has made him untouchable. His bold words, uncaring attitude, and cunning behaviour have always been forgiven by those who love and despise him alike. He's the devious boy that grew up into a malicious man even though his heart is in the right place. But what happens when tragedy strikes in his only known weakness: his family? His world as he knows it is turned upside down in the most unforgivable way and now he wants vengeance. He wants to hurt the way he's been hurt. And what better target than the only girl who's ever wrecked his heart? Olivia West has no idea she's become her former best friend's latest prey but that doesn't mean she's not ready for him. Because she wants her vengeance too and she wants it from the boy who shattered her heart all those years ago. She used to be his saviour but now she's his enemy and she plays the part disturbingly well. There's just one problem: devastation arises and threatens to rip both their families apart, something that's much bigger than the two of them. Their rivalry must be put on hold or they'll break under the weight of the world. For the first time in years they need each other, whether they like it or not, and discover that hate isn't the only passionate emotion that flares between them.
