Successful CEO Kenneth Brey thought he had his life planned out nicely—until he hired supposedly straight Kelly North as this year’s holiday companion. For the past five years, CEO Kenneth Brey has advertised for a gay male holiday companion to join him on his single annual break. Although Kenneth claims to be neutral in his choice, he has certain non-negotiable requirements. Applicants must be between twenty-one and twenty-five, non-smoking, social drinkers, either versatile or passive, and be able to pull off the role of dutiful boyfriend in front of his clutch of gay friends. What does the candidate get out of the deal? An all-expenses-paid holiday and five grand in cash at the end, more if the candidate exceeds his expectations—a safe enough addendum, because for the past three years no one ever has. Kelly North sits in a quiet corner of the coffee shop, trying to finish an assignment. At twenty-nine, he is single once again. By now he should have settled down. But when his girlfriend of three years gives him an ultimatum—ring or road—he chooses the road. Worst of all, he has no qualms about doing so. As for his finances? Saddled with a string of outstanding student loans, he is struggling to finish his master’s while also supporting his brother through university. Losing his work at the estate agents’ could not have come at a worse time. Then he overhears the man at a nearby table recruiting for a job that pays a cool five grand. What does he have to lose?

"Open wide, Golden Boy. I know you’ve been imagining sucking my c*ck in your head the entire practice." ​The cold floor of the locker room is bruising my knees, but it’s nothing compared to the grip Michael Rossi has on my hair. My mouth is stretched tight around his c*ck, my heart hammering against my ribs in a rhythm of pure, unadulterated shame. I’m the star defenseman for the Knights, the disciplined, untouchable Axel Thorne, and yet here I am, choking on the pride of my greatest enemy while he talks to me like I’m his favorite toy. ~~~~~~~ They call Michael Rossi the “Menace,” and for once, the media isn't exaggerating. He’s the jagged edge of the Rebels’ front line,a dirty, arrogant prick with a god complex. I’ve hated him since the night he stole my girlfriend just to prove he could. For eighteen months, he’s dismantled my peace, chirping in my ear and checking me into the boards with a smirk. ​Now, a viral "spite kiss" has trapped us in a PR contract. To save my career, I have to be his boyfriend. I’m supposed to play along with the man who ruined my life, but the closer I get, the more I realize the rivalry was just the beginning. ~~~~~~~ ​Axel Thorne is the "Golden Boy", disciplined, loved, and blissfully oblivious. He thinks I’m the villain who stole his girl; he doesn’t realize I only did it to see the look in his eyes. This rivalry was never about the game; it was about obsession. I’ve spent every restless night imagining how it would feel to finally claim him. ​Axel thinks we’re faking it to save our career. He’s wrong. I’m playing a game where he only wins by losing himself to me.

The Serbian White Eagles aren't just a soccer club; they’re my family’s legacy, the blood in my veins, and the pride of my community. But pride doesn't pay for the stadium lights or clear the mounting debt. I fought until my hands were raw, exhausted every favor, and spent every last cent I owned trying to keep us afloat. Finally, I had to admit the truth: we were dying. And I, Aleksa Pavić, was not going to give up. There was only one man left in Toronto with the power to stop the bleeding: Maksim Volkov. The CEO of FC Vorkuta, my f*ck*ng rival, and a man whose presence is as cold and precise as a winter morning in the city. I walked into his office smelling of rain and desperation, bracing for a shark. I expected him to demand my soul or laugh as I knelt to beg. Instead, he was... kind. He offered me a seat, a glass of vintage scotch, and a voice like silk that promised to protect my talent. He looked at me not as an enemy, but as something precious, he’d been waiting years to hold. I signed the papers before I realized the ink was a blood bond. "I’ll pay your debts, Aleksa. I’ll save your legacy. All I ask in return is the one thing you’ve spent your life guarding: I want you and everything you have." Maksim Volkov's calm voice rose in the room. Maksim didn't just save my team; he bought my life. He hasn't used a single chain, yet I am more captive than I’ve ever been. Between the security that follows my every shadow and the way he maps my body with a devotion that feels like a prayer, the exits have all vanished. He’s erased the seams between us until I don't know where my hate ends and his obsession begins. I never saw it coming, and now, as his hands find me in the dark, I have no idea if I want to escape... or if I’m finally ready to drown in the love of the man who ruined me.

SOPHIA I never imagined my step-aunt could make my heart race like this. She’s supposed to be my protector — the woman who keeps me safe in a world darkened by mafia violence and dangerous secrets. But her touch ignites a fire I can’t put out, and every glance between us pulls me deeper into a world where rules don’t apply. Our connection is forbidden — tangled in family ties and shadowed by the weight of betrayal. The mafia controls everything, and crossing those lines could mean losing more than just trust. It could mean losing everything. But some desires are impossible to resist. Some sins feel too sweet to fight. As danger closes in and loyalties shatter, I have to decide: Do I stay safe and alone, or surrender to the woman who makes me sin in ways I never thought possible? --- IVY She’s the girl I swore to protect. Not the woman I can’t stop wanting. When Sean asked me to look after his daughters, I promised. I meant it. But I wasn’t prepared for Sophia — no longer the shy teen I remembered, but a fierce, stunning storm of a woman who stares me down like she’s daring me to break. Now, I’m back — hardened by war, haunted by ghosts, and barely holding it together. This estate was meant to be a safe house. But inside these walls, danger comes with a mouth that smirks, and eyes that see straight through me. She’s nineteen. Off-limits. Sean’s stepdaughter. And every second we’re alone, my restraint unravels. When a threat from the shadows resurfaces, I’ll do anything to protect her. But how do I protect her from me? In this seductive, slow-burn romantic thriller, duty and desire collide in explosive fashion. If you crave age-gap tension, forbidden heat, and a hero battling the fire he’s sworn not to touch—this book will consume you. Author’s Note: This story contains mature themes, forbidden queer romance, and intense family dynamics. Book One ends on a cliffhanger. Book Two, The Way She Owns Me, continues their journey with even higher stakes

THE LOVE I MUST HATE

  • 👁 1.8K

I am only attracted to girls. I realised that since the day I began to feel my sexual organs. But no one must know about it, not when I live in a religious girls' high school. It is considered unholy to love a fellow girl. It is against the school rules, and a rumour about it will result in the expulsion of the involved students. I wouldn't want to be expelled. I fear the humiliation it would bring and the disappointment it might cause my parents. My parents sent me to this religious school for a sort of cleansing from my abominable choice of sexuality. Although they failed to understand I didn't choose to like girls, I do not want to be expelled back to them or see them hurt more than they are hurting. So, I dwelled in secret, surviving the cohabitation of other girls until Uriel came along. I couldn't resist Uriel's sweet sculpted face, endowed body figure, and perfect curvy lips. I couldn't withstand her charm. So, I decided to risk everything and have that 'unholy' relationship with her. For Uriel, I could face the world and fight, but I didn't consider whether Uriel would want the same. After I kissed her and confessed my feelings, I saw maybe, just maybe, I should have remained in the closet and had my secret buried with me. Now she is back, years later...apologising and professing her undying love. Should I believe she reappeared to love me right? Should I embrace my unquenched feelings for her or take on the revenge I've always wanted?
