He Rejected Me—Until I Belonged to Someone Else
For five years, I loved Julian Mercer. I answered every call, endured every humiliation, and convinced myself that one day, he would finally choose me. Then, at his birthday party, I heard him laugh. “He's not my boyfriend. I only invited him to serve drinks.” When I asked if he'd ever loved me, his answer was simple. “No.” That was the night I discovered something far worse than his rejection. I was trapped inside a toxic romance novel—one where I was destined to suffer for a hundred chapters before forgiving the man who destroyed me. So I decided to rewrite the ending. I disappeared. And when the world believed I was dead, I woke up in the care of Adrian Sterling—Crown City's coldest billionaire and Julian's most powerful rival. Adrian gave me everything Julian never had: patience, tenderness, and the freedom to choose. Then he confessed a secret. He'd been in love with me for six years. But just when I finally began falling for someone new, Julian discovered I was alive. And the man who never wanted me suddenly refused to let me go. This time, however, I wasn't waiting to be chosen. **I'd already chosen someone else.**BL|Substitute Lover|Fake Relationship|Second Chance8.1k words5 4 -

The Roommate After the Wedding
Mason Carter has the perfect roommate. Adrian Bennett cooks his meals, reminds him to eat something other than instant noodles, and somehow puts up with his terrible sleeping habits. They bicker over groceries, steal each other's clothes, and spend most evenings together on the couch. They're practically an old married couple. At least, that's what Mason likes to joke. Then Adrian drops a bombshell: he's gay, his ex-boyfriend is getting married, and he needs Mason to pretend to be his boyfriend at the wedding. Easy enough, right? Except one fake kiss turns out to be a little too convincing. Suddenly, Mason can't stop noticing Adrian's lips, his hands, or the way his heart races whenever they get too close. And when Adrian finally gets tired of waiting for something that may never happen, he starts pulling away. No more late-night meals together. No more falling asleep on the same couch. And worst of all? Adrian starts dating someone else. Mason insists he's not jealous. He's straight, after all. So why does watching another man make Adrian smile feel like losing the one person who has always been his home?BL|Substitute Lover|Fake Relationship8.0k words5 142 -

The Last Man I Should Want
The Last Man I Should Want Eight months ago, Rafael Costa kissed me like he’d been waiting years to do it. The next morning, he told a reporter I meant nothing to him. Now he’s sitting in my locker room, wearing my club’s shirt—and asking for a second chance. We’re supposed to compete for a starting place. Instead, he’s saving me breakfast, falling asleep beside me on away trips, and making it increasingly difficult to remember why I promised to keep my distance. I can handle him being my rival. I’m less prepared for how much I like having him as my boyfriend. Especially when there are cameras everywhere—and neither of us is particularly good at keeping our hands to ourselves.BL|Human Nature|Sweet Romance|Second Chance|HE12.5k words5 110 -
