Acceptance || MxM
by Dolly GrandAfter getting away from his cruel father's tyranny, Randall has to learn how to live again,
and accept the person he was meant to be - with a little help of a local bartender... ***** An empty shell is all what is left of twenty-five-year-old Randall now. After his
homophobic father found out he was gay, he had to learn to act someone else in order
to survive through the years of abuse and humiliation. Now he has forgotten the
person he once was. He refuses to remember the person he was supposed to be. Emotionally detached, and unable to create any kind of relationships, Randall's
lonely days repeat themselves in the same destructive pattern: go to work,
work out, watch TV, and drink, with no way out of that dark, miserable corner
he has built for himself. When a gay bar opens doors in his neighborhood, the fragile balance he has created
with himself is in danger of being destroyed when his true self is trying to break free. And to make things worse, there is a new guy at his gym. A kind guy who has a nice
voice and loves talking people's ears off. A guy who can see his suffering and is
willing to do whatever it takes to help him. A guy who is making Randall feel once again. (Warning, this novel contains verbal and physical abuse!)

Nonconforming
by BreezyI never wanted to be the Luna or the Alpha’s boyfriend.
I never even wanted to be an omega...
Not that I’ve ever had the courage to say otherwise.
When I turn sixteen in one week, everyone fully expects me to mate with my long-term boyfriend, David, and start a family as soon as possible. But what if David isn’t my soulmate? Or... what if... I don’t want him to be, but he is anyways? Don’t I get a choice in any of this? Apparently not, since the one person I would choose is strictly off-limits and not a werewolf at all!
But just before my sixteenth birthday, my world is flipped upside down. My crush won’t talk to me, my parents insist I learn how to be a proper omega, and a turf war with the local witches’ coven is brewing. But, even if the Moon Goddess and Mother Earth are against me, I’m determined to do whatever it takes to find my own path to happiness.
