𝑨𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑵𝑨 𝑵𝒀𝑰𝑲𝑨 Running away from something you didn't even do is like walking around with an A4 paper sized note saying 'just put me in jail already.' It's guilty, but when it's the only option you have why wouldn't you take it? Disappearing and starting over from a fuck-up like that 𝙖𝙣𝙙 on a perfectly clean slate in conditions better than your last is rare, incredibly rare. Anyone would run straight into that gate, but that hardest pill to swallow is realizing that the door leads straight down the same path you were trying to get away from. 𝑬𝑳𝑰𝑱𝑨𝑯 𝑹𝑯𝑬𝑻𝑻 Everything runs like clockwork and all I have to do is follow the arrow. Nothing I've ever received has come from my own sacrifices or my own bones, things have sat comfortably on my plate in front of me-Friends, job opportunities, scholarships, women. I've never had to pull a muscle to reach for any of it. So maybe this was my karma. Gods version of giving me a real taste of what it's like to be human-what it's like to have everything taken from you from right under your feet without warning. Except when is it enough, what will it take to keep what's important to me when everything else is gone.

Madeline Johnson, a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps, has dedicated her life to saving others. But during World War II, not even the most skilled nurses can save everyone. After the D-Day invasion, she is transferred overseas to a German prisoner-of-war camp where she forms an unexpected relationship with a wounded German soldier, Lukas Adler. Madeline knows some lines weren't meant to be crossed. In the 1940s, the world has little imagination for a Black nurse, let alone an interracial relationship. But as the lines between "good" and "bad" begin to blur, Madeline must decide whether her duty and survival will guide her, or if she will risk everything to follow her heart.

Halia never meant to lose control. She tried to warn him. She told him she was dangerous. He hadn't listened. Banished from her pack for a crime she had no choice but to commit, Halia flees the only home she's known for the harsh wilds of the eastern plains. Without the support of a pack the delicate balance between woman and beast rapidly deteriorates into one. As a mindless rogue she is no better than a rabid wolf; her sole instinct to kill. Caedus lives under the mountain with the rest of his coven, an outsider even among his own people. As his father's son he is expected to eventually lead the clan, yet as his mother's child he longs for independence. Can a werewolf who needs a pack and vampire who yearns for freedom find strength in each other? ***Cover photo belongs to Taylor324***

*Warning there may be sensitive topics in the book* Where one's status is based on their Dominant or Submissive alleles, Ama'Rose always felt a deep reluctance to take part in societies grouping. She couldn't see herself under someone else's control, (a submissive). And being a switch was just too unstable for her, (a submissive and a dominant). With the fear of finding out her persona, Ama'Rose stayed clear of blood testing and categorizing, that is until she goes to club Chasity. From there her entire life makes a turn for the worse, and now her biology not only brings unwanted attention but also catches the eye of the only S ranked male submissive in America, Ezra Wellington.

As time progresses, their relationship to each other, their small town, and the people who inhabit it changes. In the mid-1900s in a place so easily described as backwards, change can very rapidly become a dangerous friend. x He said nothing but continued to approach, and I started backing up, my hands in front of me to create space. He advanced until I had nowhere to go, and the stories of southern Negro women being lynched, beaten, raped, and on swirled in my mind. There were some battles to fight, and this was not one of them. I just wanted to appease whatever angry beast I had stirred within him and go back to my role as his quiet housekeeper. "William, I - ." Idiot! His whispered name slipped from my mouth before I could stop it. Today was the worst possible day to mistakenly call him by his first name. I closed my eyes as tears escaped out their corners. I didn't want to watch whatever was going to happen next. "Look. At. Me." His words were a constrictor that wound around my neck and tightened. His heady, hot breath fanned over my face. I opened my eyes and peered through my tear-blurred vision. His orbs were almost black as onyx, but tumultuous and frightening. He studied me and my pulse thudded deafeningly in my ears. "I want you to stop." His voice was low and threatening.
