"Of the guy who is good at everything without putting in an ounce of work? Yeah, maybe I am." "You wanna know what else is effortless?" Javier challenged. I bit my bottom lip. "What?" "My feelings for you." - To work so hard for something and then watch someone else do it better effortlessly is infuriating. That was definitely the case for Elias. Elias Richardson wanted to be the best at something, academics was what he chose. With a lot of hard work and dedication, he achieved his goal. So, when Javier Cortez came along and started showing him up at everything he did, he became furious. Now everything that they do is a competition, whether Javier knows it or not. But somewhere along the line that hate filled competition begins to turn into undeniable feelings that take a lot less effort. - {TW⚠️: This book contains heavy depictions of alcoholism, verbal abuse, mental health struggles, mature themes and strong language.

| Top Pick 2024 Amby Awards | Ellion is a young man who finds himself thrust into a world of mystery and danger when he is introduced to a revolutionary group led by Ivory on Vanity Island, a collection of 4 small islands, with Vanity being the largest one. Their mission is to ignite a revolution against their oppressive government and the Union States of Columbia, whose control over the island has left it in a state of poverty. What makes the group unique is that they possess cells known as Clemons Cells which grant the members incredible abilities, a dangerous advantage. However, these abilities come with a dark secret. As they delve deeper into their mission, the true cost of their powers slowly reveals itself, leaving them to question if the price is worth the power. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The story is structured into four (4) Acts, each concise, action-packed, and easy to follow. Every Act presents a unique plot and problem, which is resolved in its final chapter while simultaneously enriching the main narrative. The Acts not only expand the story but also offer natural pause points, making it easy for readers to take breaks and quickly pick up where they left off. *SPECIAL NOTES: - Some chapters have images to give an idea of the settings of the story or the island. (ALL IMAGES GIVE AN IMPRESSION OF WHAT THEY DESCRIBE, CHARACTERS AND SETTINGS DO NOT NECESSARILY LOOK AS THEY APPEAR IN MOST IMAGES) - A few words are in italics, which means they are in Spanish. (Just a few words, everything is written in English)

Cowboys and dinosaurs. Where the western world had saurian denizens as normal as six-shooters. ═══════ 𝙿𝚁𝙴𝚅𝙸𝙴𝚆 Randall's scowl deepened. "It seems we differ in our understanding of what constitutes cruelty to God's creatures. I have no desire to subjugate nature through force when harmony can be cultivated through ethical practices. Our goal is to empower mankind through merit, not shows of dominance." Shaw's smile tightened slightly at the rebuke. "You paint me as some brutal slavedriver. Where does your morality stand with the hadrosaurs that pull our carriages? The Centrosaurus' ploughing your fields without pay or vacation, helpless before any whip or spur? Even the natives have already made use of Pachies (Pachycephalosaurus) to safeguard their land. A few scars mean little to creatures that dedicate their lives to man's service. These dinosaurs depend utterly on humans for survival. We could shoot them all and make this a man's world when we wanted. Oh, that's right! We did." ═══════ 𝙰𝙲𝙷𝙸𝙴𝚅𝙴𝙼𝙴𝙽𝚃𝚂 x12🏆 Contests awarded x2⭐ FEATURED on @ReshapeIt and @HistoricalFiction ═══════ 𝙷𝙸𝙶𝙷𝙴𝚂𝚃 𝚁𝙰𝙽𝙺𝚂 #1 | Old West (2025) #1 | 19th Century (2025) #1 | 1880 (2024-2025) #1 | Animal Cruelty (2023-2025) #1 | English Literature (2023-2025) #1 | Speculative Fiction (2023) ═══════ Written and published: 5 July 2023 - 6 Oct 2024 Edited: 27 May 2025 - Present *33 Chapters total!
