Velvet Chains She stripped for tips. He stripped her soul bare. Serenity didn't choose this life - the late nights, the velvet stage, the way her boss pulls her into his office and uses her like he owns her. For two years, she's been the club's dirty little secret... dancing for strangers while being forced to please the man who signs her checks. She's beautiful. Broken. And numb to it all. Until he shows up. Luca Moretti. Italian. Powerful. The kind of man who doesn't take what's his - he claims it. And from the moment he watches her dance, Serenity isn't just a stripper anymore... she's his obsession. He doesn't care about rules. Doesn't care who her boss is. When he finds out the truth? He'll burn the whole damn club down just to feel her shake under him. He came for a show. He left with a woman. And a body count.

Part 1 of the "Resilience" Saga. Elaina Kane was born among the stars on the Ark. Despite having a councilman father, she never agreed with the unjust system and laws of the ship. Locked up for stealing spare parts and old tech, she didn't expect a second chance-especially not on Earth. Now, she's one of the hundred sent to a ruined planet to test its ability to sustain life again. But survival isn't just about facing what's out there. It's about learning who to trust and what it means to feel something real for the first time. Between deadly secrets, divided loyalties, and an unexpected connection with an unlikely friend, Elaina must figure out who she is in a world that is nothing like the one she came from. On Earth, love is risky. Survival is never guaranteed. But maybe, for the first time...freedom is real. Resilience: noun; the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties.

Where lines meet lights

Rafe Cameron was the last person she should have fallen for -her best friend's brother, a Kook with too many demons to count. He drank to forget, fought to feel, and spiraled until there was nothing left of him but the chaos he created. But with her, he was different. She was the only one who could quiet the storm in his head, the only thing that made him feel something real. She should have walked away. He should have let her go. Instead, they became each other's favorite sin -an addiction neither of them could escape. 𝓗𝓮 𝓱𝓾𝓻𝓽 𝓶𝓮 𝓫𝓾𝓽 𝓲𝓽 𝓯𝓮𝓵𝓽 𝓵𝓲𝓴𝓮 𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓮 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮~
