Could one summer at the lake house change everything? Elijah Thorne Tobias was my best friend. My everything. We swore nothing would break us. Then high school started, and he shattered that promise—trading me for a perfect image and people who never really mattered. After a traumatic event tore apart what little bond we had left, I did the only thing I could—I ran. Left our small town for school, desperate to erase Tobias and the feelings I never wanted to name. But now I’m back for the summer. And he’s still here. Still tangled in everything I tried to leave behind. Still breathtaking. Still impossible to ignore. Tobias Voss Elijah doesn’t get it. Maybe he never will. He doesn’t know the truths I’ve had to bury. The secrets I’ve had to keep. He doesn’t understand that I never wanted to hurt him. How he’s always been the most important person to me. That I’ve never stopped— No. I can’t go there. But summer came too fast, and the longer we’re stuck in this lake house, the harder it is to keep pretending. Pretending that we were the problem when, in reality, it was everything else. Maybe this summer is our last chance to get it right. The Summer We Found Us is a mature, college/new adult, childhood best friends-to-enemies-to-lovers MM romance with dark themes.

Love at first death. Obsession at every resurrection. Levi Mercer wanted to honor his brother's memory with a charity stream. The VR horror game was supposed to last a few hours. Instead, it became an endless nightmare where the monsters are predictable, but the man hunting him is not. Death resets the scenario but not his killer's growing obsession. Through forest slashers and haunted hospitals, their encounters shift from quick murders to lingering touches, from clinical kills to intimate whispers. He's collecting Levi's responses like data, learning what makes him gasp, what makes him shudder, what makes him break. The scenarios grow more complex, but so does the psychological game. When your killer starts protecting you from other threats, when violence becomes indistinguishable from possession, when you realize he's not trying to break you but to remake you—how do you fight back against someone who's rewriting your instincts one death at a time? Content This dark romance contains graphic violence, psychological manipulation, dubious consent, trauma bonding, and explicit sexual content within an abusive relationship dynamic. Features virtual reality horror scenarios with repeated character deaths, including suicide, and Stockholm syndrome themes.

I need you tomorrow. Same time and place as last week. Who dis? Did I f*ck you stupid last time? You know. Between barely scraping by financially and dealing with a stalker ex-boyfriend, Asher’s life was already problematic enough before randomly receiving a string of texts from an unknown number in the middle of the night. He should have just done what a normal person would do and ignore them. But since when had Asher ever been normal? Besides, based on the not-quite-nudes the guy sent, he was clearly hot. Against his better judgment, Asher responds – which doesn’t take long to devolve into depraved sexting. He wasn’t expecting the man to Venmo him an eye-popping amount of cash for his trouble. (Not that he ever got the money. The guy didn’t know who he was – or that he was even another man, for that matter.) That should have been the end of it. Except they keep texting. And, like the utter moron he is, it doesn’t take long for Asher to catch feelings. Honestly, he ought to know better than to fall for rich assholes by now. (Otherwise known as how Asher Kodet, twenty-three-year-old baker extraordinaire, becomes the accidental sugar baby of Markus Kingston, richest, meanest – but actually the frickin’ sweetest – billionaire CEO in all of Seattle.) word count: 124,000
