When a scandal forces hockey star Amelia Bennett into a fake relationship with guarded photographer Harper Lane, neither expects the headlines, or the feelings, that follow. What starts as a PR stunt begins to spark into something real, threatening to expose more than just their hearts. *** She's the world's best hockey player. She's a heartbroken photographer with nowhere else to go. And they were never supposed to fall in love. At 24, Amelia Bennett is the most talented hockey player on the planet-chaotic, impulsive, and the last Bennett standing without a ring on her finger. After a very public scandal threatens her sponsorships and reputation, the team's PR crisis plan is simple: clean up her image fast. Step one? A fake relationship. Something that should be easy, right? Harper Lane has no interest in fame, or falling for another golden boy-or girl-with a spotlight stitched into their skin. After catching her long-term boyfriend cheating, she's sworn off chaos and charm. But when her best friend Audrey begs her to stay with Millie temporarily, Harper finds herself in the middle of a media storm-and somehow agreeing to pretend to be Millie Bennett's girlfriend. It's only for the cameras. Just long enough to fix Millie's image. Just enough to keep Harper's ex boyfriend off her back. But fake smiles turn into real moments. Cold shoulders warm under shared blankets. And the girl Harper was warned about-the reckless, beautiful mess, is nothing like the one who makes her tea when she's anxious and kisses her like she means it. In a house built on secrets, one accidental love story is about to make headlines.

He didn't love her gently. He loved her like a wound that refused to heal. She stayed until love started feeling like punishment. He realized too late that possession isn't the same as love. Some stories aren't meant to be forever. They are meant to break you. Never Forever.

Once an award-winning chef with a flourishing food empire, Elena Valdez never imagined her life would end in tragedy-or begin again in another world. Reborn as Alaina, the Duchess of Aisenburg, Elena awakens in La Vita, a realm of magic, monsters, and rigid noble traditions. Trapped in an unfamiliar body and bound to a distant, intimidating duke through marriage, Alaina must learn to survive court life where whispers cut deeper than blades and trust is a luxury few can afford. With no allies and little warmth in her new home, Alaina turns to the one thing she knows best: cooking. Infusing her dishes with care, memory, and quiet passion, she begins to soften hostile servants, disarm rival noblewomen, and slowly bring life back into the cold halls of Aisenburg estate. As shared meals replace formal silence and the scent of warm bread and simmering sauces fills the mansion, an unexpected intimacy grows between Alaina and her husband. Each dish becomes a confession, each bite a promise-pulling them closer despite secrets, danger, and unspoken desire. [ WARNING! There will be a few chapters with graphic sex scenes.

First day of college: blow up a lab, awaken ancient magic, try not to fall for a vampire. ●●● Red Hathaway thought the worst part of her first day of college would be getting lost. Not blowing up the biochemistry lab. But the explosion was no accident-and neither is Red's life. For nineteen years, she believed she was just an ordinary girl navigating the chaos of school, bullies, and late-night movie marathons. But everything changes the moment her skin cracks with magic and something otherworldly stirs inside her. Red isn't human. She never was. Whisked away under moonlight to Mystic Academy, a hidden university for the supernatural elite, Red is thrown into a world pulsing with ancient magic and dark secrets. Elves with sharp smiles, witches who craft storms, vampires who thirst for more than blood-and werewolves who smell fear. Here, the monsters don't hide under beds. They share your dorm. As Red struggles to control her powers, she finds herself drawn to a dangerously irresistible presence: a seductive vampire with secrets written in blood and a gaze that sees straight through her soul. He might be the key to unlocking her past-or the reason she doesn't survive her future. But something darker hunts her. Something hungry. And if Red doesn't uncover who-or what-she really is, this new world might be the death of her. Magic is calling. So is danger. And Red Hathaway is about to find out what happens when both answer at once.

"You hate me, remember?" "I don't hate you, Rosalia. Hate's too easy." "Then what is this?" "This... is me losing control." Rosalia Carson built walls out of words, chasing truth like it was her only lifeline. Cray Smith built walls out of steel, a man feared for all the right reasons - and for every wrong one. She exposes secrets. He buries them. They were never meant to collide. But the more he pushes her away, the closer she gets. Every clash sparks fire, every secret pulls them deeper, until hate tastes a little too much like desire. Enemies can't stay enemies forever. Not when the slow burn turns into an inferno. And in the end, both of them learn the cruelest truth of all - happiness is only ever ephemeral.

I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)

"I'll take her." he finally said after some minutes of pondering. "Are you sure, Lord Dalrymph? There are other pets from which you can buy." the pet master said as he pointed to the other cages of obedient humans. Why the hell is he trying to make him change his mind!?! "Yeah, I'm sure." the vampire lord repeated himself. I chuckled a bit at his answer and my smirk grew larger and larger as I said, "Are you sure? I scratch and bite." "Ohh sweetie, you'll crawl and beg too." he promised as it was his turn to smirk. He brought his hand to my cage and stroked my cheek, without me flinching, while he continued to look at me with his intense stare. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The year is 2045 and the mystic creatures took over the world.
