Hundreds of feet beneath the surface, there are no exits. Specialist Nikephorous "Niko" Angelos is the Navy's most lethal secret weapon: an ancient vampire serving aboard a nuclear submarine. He is charming, efficient, and usually under control-until the ship's blood supply is found tainted. With the hunger gnawing at his sanity, the Captain offers the crew a simple choice to keep the predator at bay: volunteer a small donation of blood, or risk him going feral. The crew voted "No." Every single one of them. Now, the alarms are blaring, the emergency lights are painting the walls red, and the heavy steel hatches are locking one by one. Niko has broken loose, stripped of his humanity and driven by an insatiable need to feed. Trapped in a steel tube with a monster who can hear their racing hearts through the walls, the crew is about to realize the cost of their decision. As Niko stalks the narrow corridors, counting down the eighteen heartbeats remaining on board, the Captain must prepare to do the unthinkable: destroy the only person who truly understood her, before the silence of the ocean claims them all.

Belle has not had the best life. Most of it she spent taking care of her sick father while her mother ran off to sleep with other men. So you can imagine her frustration when, only a few months after the death of her father, her mother forces her to come spend the holidays with her and her new family. But what happens when she meets a certain alpha on the plane who claims that she belongs to him? ---- "Mine. Mate," he said, his deep, husky voice ringing in my ears. His hands tightened around me as his forehead came down to meet mine and he breathed in deeply. I let my eyes close as I basked in the feeling of his arms around me and the delicious sparks that were running through my body. I didn't even know that it was possible to feel this good. I felt his head move from mine as he nuzzled his nose into my neck. I tilted my head to give him better access and he let out an approving grunt. And then I felt him place a gentle kiss right where my neck and shoulder met. My knees went weak, my entire body going numb as a breathy sound came from my mouth. He smiled against my neck, chuckling and taking all of my weight into his arms as I leaned completely into him to stop myself from falling. "Hello, mate," he whispered in my ear. ------ This book is also known as Kidnapped By My Mate.

The sequel to Beautiful Belle and Alpha Grayson (Kidnapped By My Mate). DO NOT READ THIS BOOK OR ITS DESCRIPTION IF YOU HAVE NOT READ BBAG. MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. Cannot be read as a stand-alone. ---- Belle is missing, war is coming, and a royal prophecy written hundreds of years ago is about to be fulfilled, changing the lives of Belle and Grayson forever. Belle is alone in a strange town, completely and utterly heartbroken after being both physically and emotionally abused by the man she thought she loved. Struggling to make ends meet, she must find a way to support herself without being affected by the constant, agonizing pain in her body, courtesy of her mate rejecting her to be with someone else. It's because of this constant reminder of what could have been that she is closed off to the world, determined to do things on her own from now on. Little does she know, her mate, the man who broke her, is searching for her. And he won't stop until he finds her. Grayson has spent the last few months watching his mate and love of his life get abused by the vampire controlling his body. Finally, he has been set free. However, things aren't as simple as they seem. Now that he's back in control, he has more than a few things to worry about. Becoming a hybrid, half-vampire, half-werewolf, is one thing. Finding out that he is meant to rule over millions as king of all creatures is another. And let's not forget about the war between vampires and werewolves that is about to take place in his backyard. But none of that matters after he finds out that his mate is nowhere to be found, having escaped him before he got the chance to explain what really happened. She is out in the world, completely unprotected, no idea that she is meant to take the throne alongside Grayson as the new queen of all creatures. A target has been placed on Belle's back. Many want her dead. Grayson can only hope that he finds her before anyone else does.

Grief pins us where we are, stealing our strength as we wrestle with the weight we carry. In time, we may learn to let go. Until then, we climb.

It's so easy to hate super heroes. They're arrogant, they're destructive, and they're everywhere. Then there's the spandex. My God...the spandex. Some want to be famous, some want to get rich, and some just want to dispense their own vision of vigilante justice. Then there's Dennis. Married forty something father of three who puts in long hours as a bank executive in Philadelphia. He observes these Supers (general term used for humans with exceptional abilities) daily, cursing as they trash the city, demolish landmarks, and wreak havoc on his insurance premiums. Dennis' biggest problem though, is that he's one of them. He's spent his entire life just trying to be normal. Getting married, raising a family, and having a good job are all he's ever wanted. Is it really too much to ask to just live, love, and retire in peace? Of course it is! Supers are easily monetized. Comic books, movie deals, television shows, public appearances, and well paid security gigs draw people with any kind of powers to join the limelight with the rest. Dennis comes to find that no matter how much you deny who you are, the world will never stop spinning, and you will eventually be dragged right along with it. Unfortunately for him, that dragging is bloody, painful, and unrelenting. Superpowered is a first person fiction narrative from the eyes of a reluctant, power-wielding human being. Focusing not on super heroes or super villains, but instead on people with extraordinary abilities, this book will take you along for Dennis' tense, thrilling, and gruesome journey through the highs and heartbreaking lows.

She woke to a world washed in silver. The clouds hung low, heavy with secrets. And when the rain began, soft, deliberate. She welcomed it like an old friend. But this morning wasn't like the others. Between the drops, she saw them. Tiny beings, born of shimmer and storm. Fairies. Real ones. They moved like the rain itself knew how to keep them hidden. And in that quiet wonder, something ancient stirred. Everyone else rushed past, umbrellas raised, eyes down. No one noticed. Except her. One fairy remained. Still, glowing, watching her like it had been waiting. When she whispered, "Hello," the world began to shift. But the rain wasn't the only thing falling that day. A parcel was coming. A diary that writes back. A demon who already knows her name. And a truth her father buried long ago. The past isn't sleeping. It's waking up.

The Drizzle Between Us She walked into the bookshop with wet shoes, soft eyes, and a question. He gave her sarcasm and the wrong kind of smile. Rowan likes his life quiet-books alphabetized, doors locked by seven, and emotions left untouched. But when a storm blows Lyra into his store-and then into his story-he finds himself losing track of more than just closing time. She reads romance like it's a religion. He calls it drivel. She speaks with her heart. He hides behind a sigh. But when his favorite author disappears and Rowan starts connecting the dots... The drizzle between them stops feeling like distance-and starts feeling like fate. A slow-burn story about rain, resilience, and the unexpected softness of people who should've never met.
