Summary
Ethan grew up the golden boy of his father’s small lesson ranch—obedient, hardworking, and silent about the bruises that life left behind. Now grown, he keeps his head down, content to serve others and lose himself in the steady rhythm of caring for horses. Love was never in the cards, especially not with another man. Cowboys weren’t supposed to love cowboys. That’s what Ethan was taught, and what he believed.
Then Wade walked in—tattooed, all quiet confidence and calloused hands. He carried his scars like proof of survival, and for the first time, Ethan saw what it might mean to live instead of just exist. Between them, something fragile begins to take shape: long days in the barn, quiet nights at Wade’s kitchen table, laughter that shakes something loose inside Ethan, and a kind of touch that makes the silence of his life a little easier to bear.
But family names are hard to wash off, and in a town where tradition weighs heavier than truth, Ethan has to decide whether to keep living the life he was raised for—or risk everything for the one he wants. With Wade beside him, he just might find the courage to start over, build a home of his own, and finally live as the man he was never allowed to be.Bookmarked by a_wreath_of_laurel

Summary
Ivan didn’t dignify his retort with an answer. His fingers brushed over the leather on his sheath.
“Touch him again,” Ivan’s voice came out flat. Not a threat. Not a request.
His thoughts reprimanded him; telling him not here, Ivan ignored it.
He just needed a reason.
Till sniffled, pain blooming into a headache as he cradled his forehead. Freddie cackled, finding his discomfort funny. He lunged forward, his arm shooting out ready to gather a fistful of Till’s hair.
Ivan got his reason.
His katana made a sharp, clean sound as it withdrew from his waist. It happened so fast, no one processed the motion–until Freddie’s arm was rolling on the floor and blood was gushing out of where it used to be.

Summary
It’s been 3 years since Ivan quit the band to pursue a solo career, and now he has no choice but to tour with his former bandmates after their newest album goes viral.
It's just too bad that their lead singer still really hates him.
Or, Ivan navigates the trials and tribulations of becoming friends with benefits with his ex-boyfriend (surprisingly, being in love with him after all this time makes it all the more challenging).

Summary
Till is a phenomenon, a famous actor, a living legend. When the new movie he is starring in has a global press tour, Till needs a translator to get him across the world and make sure his words are heard. And there is nobody more fit for this job than his close friend Ivan, a polyglot who is also the screenwriter of the movie.
In a whirlwind of tangled words, things always get lost in translation. But feelings? They are not so easy to hide behind the boundaries of language.Series
