Publisher's summary
Journey into the world of a young man who has known nothing but neglect, abuse, and the brutal realities of survival on the streets. Abel Sims, battered and broken, finds solace at the doorstep of the Phoenix Club – a renowned, high-end gay strip club. In an extraordinary turn of events, Abel is welcomed into this unconventional family, embraced as one of their own.
By the tender age of nineteen, Abel becomes the shining star of the club, enchanting patrons with his innocent face and a graceful body that demands their full attention. But beneath the seductive facade, Abel guards his heart with utmost caution, scarred by the traumas of his past. Trust is a rare commodity for him, only afforded to the tight-knit circle he now calls family.
Just when Abel has resigned himself to a life void of love, an unexpected encounter with a young doctor challenges his emotionally fortified walls. Fighting against the whirlwind of conflicting emotions, Abel resists the allure of love's embrace. Yet, as he finds himself unable to dismiss the growing affection for the doctor, Abel cautiously opens his heart, yearning for the happiness that has long eluded him.
However, his newfound hope crumbles in an instant when a devastating revelation shatters everything he believed in. Abel's worst fears metamorphose into a horrifying reality, tearing his heart asunder and annihilating any remnants of love and trust.
With resilience as his only ally and the Phoenix Club as his unwavering support, watch as Abel battles against his harrowing past and the overwhelming odds stacked against him. Will he find the strength to rebuild his shattered heart? Can he once again believe in the possibility of love, even amidst the darkest of nights?
Emotionally charged and unforgettable, "Abel" is a tale of survival, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of the human heart. Prepare to be captivated by this poignant story that explores the depths of trauma, the power of love, and the strength found in the most unexpected of places.

Story
Act as the dude of honor for my best friend? On it. Play nice with her scheming groom? Sure. Sabotage the wedding so she doesn’t make the biggest mistake of her life? Someone has to. The only obstacle is her fierce, over-the-top wedding planner. I can’t get distracted by Zye Roessler’s sass or his kissable lips. Not when he’s fixing things faster than I can break them. We’re both determined. I want to protect my friend. And Zye needs this wedding to save his business. Not that he believes in love or marriage. I mean, neither do I. But I’m not the one making a profit from other’s mistakes.

Stefan de Marco was looking for a position...again. Being a high scoring magical anchor was only useful in his world when he had someone to partner with. His slender body and elfin looks meant he was usually only chosen to anchor people who believed his duties should extend well past working hours, and that wasn't something Stefan was interested in.

Welcome, welcome, I can only guess you are here to read about my wonderful adventures. Oh, you don’t know who I am? Well, I’m Foxx Honeywell. An adorable, fierce vampire with a kink for violence. Anywho, this marks the beginning of my story. A story of violence, blood, possibly pain, and love. Though the love part is not so apparent at first. So how does this story start you may ask. Well, it starts with a simple… Okay, maybe not so simple, law change, and a new job.

But that's never stopped our hugging and cuddling—in public or private. My best friends knew I didn't receive affection from home, so they never let me go without it.

It’s been a year since eighteen-year-old River Lang’s best friend died in a car accident. And every day since, he’s had to pass by the depressing billboard that appeared as a result: a texting and driving PSA that reduces Dylan to a cautionary tale and River to the best friend of the dead kid at school. Dylan was so much more than a statistic, though, and River hates that everyone in town seems to have forgotten. When he’s caught improving (a.k.a. vandalizing) Dylan’s billboard, River is blackmailed into joining the Affinity Trials.

Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

Of all the people who could have seen me when I was at my most vulnerable, it had to be him. Caleb. My stepbrother and the golden child of our messed up blended family. We barely know each other, but for some reason, he takes care of me when an incident at the club leaves me helpless and alone. He hates me as much as I hate him, but something about his bossy attitude and unflappable calm soothes me. I don't want to want him, but no one has ever made me feel the way he does.

Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

Oh boy. Must be high to listen
Okay. *** Trigger warnings: Every casual non exclusive sex scene is unprotected. Out of the many many wierd and awkward scenes, lube is only used once and there is no preparation beforehand. Very disturbing. There is also non consensual sex under the influence of alcohol. The use of Boy/Kid when addressing the main character is awkward, All of the relationships are weird especially where Kaplan is concerned. Overall, a very disjointed and juvenile experience.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
