WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION Everest is the most popular boy in school. He's handsome, wealthy, and captain of the football team-he has the world at his fingertips, but he's desperately unhappy. And when those feelings become too much to bear, he tries to take his own life. On the surface, Beverly's different from Everest in every possible way. She's quiet, shy, hard working, and keeps to herself on campus, focusing on her schoolwork and her part-time job, distracting herself from her less-than-perfect upbringing. When Everest returns to school after his attempt, he's in more pain than ever. Discarded by his friends, he draws little empathy and too much attention from those who surround him. But when Beverly and Everest meet unexpectedly in a dusty corner of the old library, they discover together just how rich life can be when given the freedom to just be yourself.

Luke Carter had it all-fame, fortune, and legions of adoring fans. As the biggest country music star in the world, he could have anything he desired. Anything except Aria, his high school sweetheart-the girl he left behind to chase his dreams of stardom. But when a devastating tragedy pulls Luke back to his hometown, he's forced to confront the life he left behind-and the one person he's never been able to forget. Running into Aria for the first time in five years, Luke realizes the extent of the heartache he caused and how much he lost when he abandoned her. However, Aria isn't the same girl he left. She's strong, guarded, and has moved on-at least on the surface. Behind the walls she's built lies a pain Luke can't ignore, a pain he knows he caused. As old sparks rekindle and buried emotions resurface, Luke finds himself caught between the allure of his glittering career and the deep yearning to fix the mistakes of his past. But winning Aria back won't be easy. She's made a life without him, and there are secrets-both hers and his-that threaten to keep them apart forever. Can Luke prove he's changed and finally be the man Aria deserves? Or will the unresolved scars of their past be too deep to heal? Find out in Finally Home by Ariel Hughes

When peace is built on betrayal, how long before the bones crack? Five mythical kingdoms rule a world scorched by ancient war. Vampires, sirens, nephilims, werewolves, and fairies cling to a fragile treaty-sealed in the blood of a fallen queen and buried beneath lies. But history doesn't stay buried. Especially when it has teeth. As old powers stir and new players rise, war creeps back through the cracks. There are no heroes here-only monsters with crowns, each hiding a reason to burn the world again. Power demands blood. And the bones remember everything.

"I will obey you. Serve you. Heal for you. Die for you-if that's what you want. I'll be loyal only to you until the day you decide I'm no longer useful." The firelight danced across his physique as his face stayed still. "I could make you do all those things as we speak." His voice was laced with threat. "You could," Silvia said clutching her hands to fists, "but not ever without a fight." ------------------------- When Silvia's village is burned, the survivors are dragged to the war camp of Lord Varric-a ruthless warlord whose name is spoken like a curse. She appears broken and obedient, but her eyes are sharp, her mind unyielding. His men are forbidden to touch the enslaved women of her village-not out of mercy, but because they are coin to be sold. Desperate to protect her people, Silvia breaks free one night, only to be struck down before Varric's eyes. She survives through the power of her healing-and learns quickly that his men's crimes don't seem to sway him. With nothing left to offer in return for her villages protection, Silvia pledges herself-her body, her gift, her loyalty-to the man who destroyed everything she loved. An oath of loyalty, fear and unshakable resolve. Lord Varric accepts, not out of compassion, but calculation, keeping her close as a weapon, a healer, and a mind to sharp to waste. Yet even under his cold command, Silvia refuses to break. And behind her quiet defiance, Varric finds himself torn-driven to crush it, yet unable to look away from it. A dark fantasy romance of war, loyalty, and the perilous line between ruin and desire. #1 lord ~ 29.07.25 #1 forbiddenlove ~ 23.08.25 #7 hatelove ~ 03.09.25 #1 powers ~ 04.09.25 #1 enslavement ~ 28.09.25 #1 enemiestolovers ~09.10.25 #2 medieval ~ 03.11.25 #1 enemies ~ 20.11.25 #1 middleages ~ 17.04.2026

The world plunged into an era of peace, built upon the backs of the last heroes, who protected their realm and then vanished into legend, taking their powers with them. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? As demons once again begin to crawl from the fiery realm of the Abyss, it becomes clear that they are not acting on their own - someone cunning is leading them. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it?
