Contemporary LGBTQ+ Web Novels & Brave Stories

Seventeen years ago, Klaus and Liam were two halves of a whole, bound by bruised knuckles and a love they didn't know how to name. Then Klaus vanished, trading their friendship for a hockey stick and a billionaire legacy. Now, Klaus Conti is the "Ice King" of the NHL—a cold, untouchable superstar who lives behind a wall of PR-approved silence. Liam Vance is a ghost in his own life, drowning in debt and fighting to keep his ten-year-old brother, Leo, alive. When a locker-room scandal threatens to melt Klaus's reputation, his team offers Liam a contract: pose as Klaus’s "ambiguous" best friend to humanize the star. Liam needs the money for Leo’s treatment; Klaus needs a shield. But as Liam captures the boy behind the superstar through his lens, the professional lines shatter. When a staged betrayal forces Klaus to choose between his hard-won reputation and the man he never stopped loving, his cowardice costs Liam everything. To earn a second chance, the Ice King will have to step out of the shadows and face the world—or lose Liam forever.

Leon Vance hatte alles: Macht, Reichtum und den Ruf eines unbesiegbaren Alphas. Als CEO der Vance Group fürchtete ihn jeder – bis sein eigener Körper ihn verriet. Durch eine seltene zweite Differenzierung wird Leon plötzlich von einem Alpha zu einem Omega. Gezwungen, sein neues Leben vor der Welt zu verbergen, sucht er ausgerechnet Schutz bei seinem größten Rivalen: Caelum Thorne. Eine verbotene Nacht verändert alles. Monate später ist Leon nicht nur seiner Macht beraubt, sondern auch gefangen in einem grausamen Familienkampf um sein Erbe. Doch der größte Schock wartet noch: Er trägt Caelums Kind. Als seine Feinde versuchen, ihm alles zu nehmen, kehrt Caelum zurück. Nicht als Verhandlungspartner. Nicht als Rivale. Sondern als der Alpha, der jeden vernichten wird, der seinen Omega und sein ungeborenes Kind bedroht.

“I fall for her, June Bentley, my brother’s fiancée. Yeah, this is silly, and many of my friends may get startled if I declare the truth. They can see me as a third wheel in my brother’s engagement, but I don’t care about their opinions. Though, I really love her at the first place. The moment I meet her as my private teacher is the time when I start developing my feelings to her. There is no other people I really want to see. It is only her and forever will be her. Yet, unexpectedly, after getting engaged to my brother, unexpectedly, she often spends more time for me. Among those times, she suddenly confesses her feelings to me. Her admission certainly makes me happy, but I realize that our love might be impossible to happen, but we decide to go through it, through the thick and thin, whether it is happy or sad.” -Stacy Barfield-
