When a total stranger knows what eats you, maybe they are your one true love. Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem. Not a whiff of a romance, strictly business. And for a while, all is good... for about five minutes, that is. What can an overweight man, a video game obsessed librarian, know about her quitting a challenging sport of figure skating, Daya scoffs. He needs to get off her case and sort out his binge eating! What does a celery-chewing skating diva care about his failure as a PhD candidate, Mike wonders. She is just replacing her dreams with his non-existing problems instead of pursuing her one true passion! With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals. (Well, that should make Mike happy, right? Right?) But isn't there *something* worth fighting for *together*? Like, you know, love? COMPLETED. First Published: August 19, 2019 Trigger warning: This story contains themes of eating disorders and body image insecurity (male).

Castyr immediately felt light-headed as the machine began draining his energy; his body felt as if it was phasing in and out of reality. The star closed his eyes as the pull from the machine tugged on his life force. A cry from outside the dome shook Castyr, ripping him from his death trance. The star opened his eyes to see his angel fighting to reach him. "Kilo." A fire sparked deep within Castyr that he had not felt in a long time. It was a fire of despair and rage as he was helpless and watched Kilo be in pain. A fire with the drive to protect, to save. A fire of love. Castyr knew Kilo would do anything to save him, but so would he. He would give his life for Kilo. Kilo had given him so much: protection, warmth, safety, love. Castyr decided long ago that he would risk everything to save Kilo. And now was the time. He would do whatever it takes. "Forgive me, Kilo." ✨✨✨✨ A world of Angels and Demons where an Angel fights to save his one love, the shining Star, Castyr, who is sought after by the King of Hades for his power and light.

|| #1 bxb | #3 gay | #1 demonxhuman || "You're not going anywhere," the demon's deep voice sounded, drawing Devyn's gaze up to those stormy grey eyes. The demon leaned down, so he was a breath away, "I can't let you leave now. You showed up in my life without permission, so there is no way you are leaving without my permission." Devyn is a human who was captured by ruthless traffickers when he surrendered himself to save his friends -an angel and a star- and was brought to a demon-inhabited planet to be sold as a slave. Little does Devyn know that the demon who bought him needs him for a sacrifice. This is a boyxboy story and is rated M. If you are homophobic, please do not read. No prior knowledge is needed to read this story!!! But... Guardian Demon focuses on the second main couple from my other book "Fallen Star" but with more details and events centered around Denzyl and Devyn. I had so much planned for them but couldn't fit it into "Fallen Star." So I decided to make a book about them containing everything I had to cut from "Fallen Star." But fear not! Kilo and Castyr will feature in Guardian Demon! BOOK 2 in the ONEVERSE COLLECTION: - FALLEN STAR - GUARDIAN DEMON - ANGEL'S LANDING - BREAKING SOULS (now publishing) No prior knowledge is needed to read! Enjoy.
