"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?

In a not-so-distant future, the world has been divided. The prospering countries label themselves as Zones, while the defeated are left behind to fend for themselves. Sixteen-year-old Jaxon "Jax" Evans belongs to Zone 3, previously known as the United Kingdom. And like the unaffected survivors, he is arrogant and lavishes his privileges. This soon might change when his mother sends him to Zone 1, formerly known as Japan. Unlike the other Zones, Zone 1 takes humility and discipline rather seriously. Still thinking he has no reasons to change, Jaxon does what he does best: being a brat. Fate laughs at him as a mysterious and quiet child named Eien tells him he is a dangerous person. And the kid might be right. Luckily for him, he finds a group that can teach him how to control his raw power. Or is he indeed lucky when anyone could be his enemy?

Life has never been simple for Violet James--a woman with no memories before her eighteenth birthday. As a field medic for the government demon hunters, hiding on the shores of a new country as a civilian doctor would be simple. But an unexpected encounter draws Violet down a road that transports her to a whole new world. Struggling to understand her Nen and other abilities, she runs into an unlikely ally in Heaven's Arena: the mysterious and dangerous Hisoka Morou. Long-forgotten memories churn as her new surroundings evoke a nostalgia she could not understand.

It's 2141. Clones have taken over as the dominant species. Using brain nanochips to surveil thoughts and actions, they have pushed traditional humans down to a status of low-class workers in a discriminatory dystopia. A nineteen-year-old aspiring mechanic and traditional human, Daphne, unwillingly leads a double life when Sigi, a rebel from the nightclub Amanita, hacks her nanochip and frees her from clone control. Since then, she becomes involved in a plot to dethrone the clones as the ruling elite. Daphne is caught between two pro-violence titans with twisted concepts of justice: Apollo, the Living God of clones, on one side and Agape, the rebels' leader, on the other. Daphne's ideals and pacifism are put to the test as she encounters good and evil on both sides. She abhors the rebels' blood-thirsty road to freedom, which only emulates the clones' violence during the Prevalence War. All in the name of justice. True peace, not rebels taking over and getting revenge, could end it all. But how? History and old mistakes will get repeated. Despite it all, some questions plague Daphne's mind: if true peace is possible, are criminals and tyrants worth listening to? Do they deserve peace? To be forgiven while uprooting the seeds of hatred so that history doesn't repeat itself? Daphne won't conform to the insurrectionary, perverse ideals of Agape and her allegedly justified acts of terrorism. But can she rise from a scared girl to an empowered game-changer? 🧬 🧬 ⚖ 🧬 🧬 A Sci-Fi story with a sprinkle of Romance and Mystery.

Pointy ears-check, third-eye induced headaches-check, fighting against a Dark Phoenix Griffin who wants to turn you into the Ultimate Weapon to kill the king... not happening. At eighteen, Sophie Emerson discovers her identity as a Spirit fae at the prestigious Earwyn Academy of Concordia. It is an identity she welcomes. She can do without the skull-splitting headaches induced by learning to control her clairvoyant powers, though. She'll also love it if someone can tell her why she sees herself in a dream surrounded by nine children who are channeling their powers into her to become a monster that will destroy Concordia. When three kids disappeared from the village, Sophie learns that the Dark Griffin abducted six other children two years ago. The dream shows her she is the last piece to become the Dark Griffin's Ultimate Weapon, and he will abduct her next. Sophie needs a plan when she wakes up in a cell with the nine other children. One that will stop herself from becoming this weapon, save the abducted children, and stop an undefeated Griffin. Being magical shouldn't be this stressful! She would have preferred to remain human, thank you very much. (a shout-out to @Novel---worm for the lovely edit on my blurb)
