After a late night fight between Alex Summers and her ex goes terribly wrong, her parents ship her off to spend a stress-free summer in Los Angeles. But the second she steps off the plane, Alex stumbles into California bad boy Elias King, a too-hot-to-handle heartbreaker with a taste for trouble. ***** When Alex and Elias find themselves stuck living under the same roof, their sexual tension's undeniable, but their differences set them on a warpath to destroy each other. Elias bets he can steal her heart and seduce her in thirty days, while Alex swears she can keep him one-night-stand-free and have him sober by the end of the summer. All's fair in love and war if you're playing by the rules, but this time around, there are no limits.

She's the chaos. He's the steady one. Amy never planned on falling for Zahn; the quiet, disciplined boy who somehow became her unofficial babysitter. He wakes her up for classes, steals her junk food, nags about grades, and lectures her like a mom... yet somehow ends up being the only place she feels safe. She's lazy, reckless, dramatic, and far too spoiled, her favorite daily routine is pushing his buttons. He's grumpy, easily exasperated, always rolling his eyes... but secretly, a total softie. Together, they're messy, heartfelt, and inseparable, even when life (and their own mistakes) try to tear them apart. Because love isn't always soft edges and fairytales. It's laughter, heartbreak, healing... and holding on anyway. (Cover drawn by me)

Being a vampire has its perks, like immortality and superpowers. It's a shame it doesn't come with a manual on how to use any of them. 'An Absurdist's Guide to the Undead' is a horror/mystery following Zachary Manchester, a vampire who played god and failed. After discovering his girlfriend's corpse, he tried to turn her to save her, but with no idea what he was doing it inevitably backfired in the worst possible way. Instead of the peaceful reunion he'd expected, the girl woke up screaming. Writhing in agony. Decaying. With no memories, no personality, and barely enough awareness to know how to walk, Victoria was reduced to a mere shell. Now needing to tackle both the overbearing guilt of his mistakes and having to babysit the zombie-like husk of the girl he once loved, Zach refuses to give up on finding a way to fix her. If that means turning every other human and vampire against him, so be it. After all, it's easier to grieve at a graveyard than to wake up beside a reanimated corpse every morning.

He's violent because pain is the only thing that drowns out his own. Four broken souls. One academy. Can they heal each other-or will their darkness consume them all? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At Ridgeview Academy, 18-year-old Autumn Rivers thought she could outrun her past. With a full scholarship and a plan to stay under the radar, she came to escape---not to get caught up in anyone's drama. But as soon as she steps on campus, her plans begin to crumble. After a reckless stunt involving three of the academy's notorious troublemakers- Hunter, Jaxon, and Levi-the dean offers them an ultimatum: help Autumn adjust, or face expulsion. But each of the boys has a dark secret of their own, and helping Autumn might expose them all. As Autumn tries to keep her past hidden, she unknowingly starts to get closer to the boys. But the more she uncovers about their lives, the more she wonders: are they trying to help her, or are they just as lost and broken as she is? "The more I tried to stay hidden, the more they found me. And the harder it became to decide if I wanted to be saved or if I was already too far gone."

Adam Daniels was supposed to disappear. After losing the only woman he's ever loved, the last thing the newly published author wants is attention-or worse, sympathy. So he does what anyone would do with an unexpected book advance and a broken heart: he books a solo bike tour across Japan. Emi never expected to find a foreigner standing in her grandparents' entryway, soaked and shivering and somehow familiar. She definitely didn't expect it to be him-the quiet, kind-eyed man who helped her in Tokyo days before. He's wounded. She's devoted to a life she never chose. Neither of them is looking for love. But love has a way of showing up anyway. As they share meals, glances, and slowly unravel their walls, one thing becomes painfully clear: they were never supposed to find each other. And now that they have, walking away might be harder than staying-even if staying means sacrificing everything.
