Brutal Desires - Enemies to Lovers MM College Romance

Drew J Kyle

Sinopse

A star quarterback with a legacy to uphold. A fiery activist with a past to avenge. The line between love and hate is about to snap.

Caelen "Cael" Holt has spent his life a pawn in his family’s game, a golden boy with a secret. He's a star quarterback with a cold exterior, and the only thing he craves is to escape. But his carefully constructed world is shattered when a campus protest pits him against the one person who sees right through his carefully crafted mask: Rhys Thorne.

Rhys Thorne is driven by a need for justice, fueled by a deep-seated anger at the company that ruined his family. He sees Cael as the physical embodiment of the corruption he despises. So when fate forces them into the same dorm room, their rivalry explodes into a war of words, turning their shared space into a tense battlefield.

But in the quiet hours after the shouting, something else begins to simmer beneath the surface—a raw, undeniable attraction that defies logic. As their feud becomes a public spectacle, Rhys and Cael are forced to choose between the roles they’ve always played and a partnership that could change everything.

Step into the visceral, high-stakes world of Brutal Desires, a story where genuine connection can break down the most deeply ingrained biases. Told in a dual first-person point of view, you'll feel the sting of their witty insults, the heat of their rising tension, and the raw, vulnerable power of their love. For fans of enemies-to-lovers romance who crave a story with a powerful political backdrop, this book is for you.

Will their brutal pasts be their undoing, or will they finally find a future worth fighting for? Find out in Brutal Desires.

To the One I Left in Summer -...

Krispy

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A Soft Story that Stayed” – Elliott V., Artist & Literary Sci-Fi Reader 
To the One I Left in Summer is a tender epistolary novel for anyone who’s ever left quietly and wondered who they might’ve become if they’d stayed. 
Years after walking away from the one who once knew him best, Auren Solven discovers a sealed box of unsent letters—each addressed to the one he left behind. The words inside are raw, aching, and unfinished. As Auren reads through each letter, he’s drawn back to the coastal town where their love first lived—and to a quiet reckoning he never allowed himself to feel. 
Told through lyrical, reflective prose, this story explores memory, identity, and the ways we carry the people we once loved. As Auren rewrites old letters, confronts unspoken truths, and imagines a reply that may never come, he begins to understand that some love stories aren’t meant to be rekindled—they’re meant to be remembered. 
From the author of The Mirror Archive, this is Book One in the Letters from Auren series—a deeply human exploration of love, grief, and the quiet power of writing the words we never said.

Assuming his father's place has salted old wounds, but when a stranger arrives offering to help, Theo knows he can't say no, even if Mr. Reynard makes him long for things he had sworn off years ago. 
As rivals arrive to challenge Theo for power and destroy the life Bennett has built, they know they must face their greatest fears or risk losing all they have fought for. With secrets threatening to topple their worlds, can Theo and Bennett let down their walls before it's too late?

Welcome to the Shifting Lands. 
 
 
 
Silluka was born with only one arm and could never practice the exacting motions to summon the favor of the gods. Caught stealing, she is forced to test her powers or be branded an outcast. She fails, and loses citizenship to her village. In a fit of desperation, Silluka tries to steal a badge of citizenship from a mysterious elder, but instead, Elder Quilqi shows Silluka a different path to gain the powers of the gods, aided by an octopus-like technological wizard who worships their own eldritch divinities. Time is short for training however, because a new island is speeding toward the coastal town, throwing deadly hurricanes and tidal waves before it and threatening all who live there. 
 
 
 
Only the gods and godlike storm warriors protect the village from destruction, but all of them fail when a mysterious creature bursts through the wall. It's only one forerunner for a species of terrifying turtlemen: fast, deadly, and ready to invade the larger island. The village must flee inland before the invasion, while Silluka is weighed down by her outcast status and her brother's failing abilities. To save herself, her family, and her village, Silluka must overcome stigma and self-doubt. She must learn the scope of the world outside her village. She must learn Physical Magic.

Vampires Don't Drink Whiskey - A...

Kashel Char

I'd dreamed of him again. Now, if I'd known that Juandre would haunt my thoughts day and night for the past ten years, I would never have had the man. I couldn't dispute my incisors had prickled at the sexy Hispanic ever since he'd pulled over and smiled a cheeky smile at me. As if I couldn't already read into that, I knew what he would ask me even before he asked. The thing was, I had felt a little peckish and hoped a meal would stop and take me home with him for the night. Prolonging my hunger was never good.
That final night of debauchery and discovery was the last item on my list to check off before my year-long sabbatical to clear my head and decide whether I wanted to run away or dismantle the Disciples. Over the years, I had managed to surround myself with them, and only Tony and the few men in our inner circle knew the true reason for Lord Andrew Whiskey.
He'll be in his early thirties, and I'll still look exactly like I did ten years ago. Will he even remember me?
Would he stir indignation against the world he now lived in, or would he accept himself even with the false background he'd painted? Would he utterly disregard himself as a gay man, and be the opposite of the man he'd led me to believe he was?
This story contains explicit graphic depictions of gay sex and crude language unsuitable for young or sensitive readers or anyone offended by gay sex.
