I hate everything about his entitled attitude and the stupid Kappa crown he wears. I also hate the gigantic crush I have on the guy. One night, backed up by the courage of tequila, my mouth gets away from me and I offer him the one thing he can't stop thinking about. Me. On my knees. Because Archibald Levine also has a secret, and one kiss between us seals his fate.

Bro big or bro home. Robbie As social chair of Sigma Beta Psi, I'm the life of the party. It's what I'm known for, and if it's not fun, I'm not interested, simple as that. I'm not someone who overthinks. So when one of my brothers hooks up with a dude from another frat house, it catches me off guard when I can't stop thinking about them ... together .

Dr. Henry Jekyll, fascinated by the dichotomy of good and evil, no longer wants to inhibit his dark side. He concocts a potion to create the alter ego of Mr. Edward Hyde. With the burden of evil placed on Hyde, Jekyll can now take pleasure in his immoral, nefarious fantasies - free of conscience and guilt. It’s when Hyde turns to murder that Jekyll realizes how monstrous his impulses are and how hard they are to suppress. Exploring the nature of shame, repression, desire, and control, Stevenson’s story has so endured that “a Jekyll and Hyde personality” has become part of our lexicon in understanding our own - sometimes involuntary - duality. AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature’s most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.

Published in 1942 by French author Albert Camus, The Stranger has long been considered a classic of twentieth-century literature. Le Monde ranks it as number one on its "100 Books of the Century" list. Through this story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on a sundrenched Algerian beach, Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd."

Two men. One rule. Zero self-control. Elliot Shaw has spent his entire life being exactly the son his father—the four-star General—wants him to be. Controlled. Precise. Closeted. When he arrives at Special Forces Selection, he has one objective: finish first. He cannot afford to want anything else. Then he meets Hudson Hale. Hudson is everything Elliot has been trained to suppress. Te kind of soldier who runs toward the fire, consequences be damned. He shouldn't be Elliot's type. He shouldn't be Elliot's in anything. What starts as a single reckless night on an overnight assignment becomes six years of stolen weekends and discipline that fails in increments. Through deployments, a wedding, a funeral, and a war zone, Elliot and Hudson keep finding their way back to each other—only to part again as if nothing happened. It almost works, except pretending has a price—and sooner or later somebody has to pay. It's a spicy, dual-POV M/M romance with rivals-to-lovers energy and a hard-earned HEA.
