For centuries, Arius has searched for the truth behind an ancient prophecy. The legend speaks of a Chosen One capable of changing the fate of vampires, mages, and Inquisitors forever.

Instead, he finds a mysterious red-haired woman who awakens emotions he thought had died centuries ago. As ancient enemies begin closing in and long-buried secrets surface, Arius is forced to choose between the mission that has defined his existence and the woman he cannot stay away from. But destiny has plans of its own. And some paths lead not to salvation, but to ruin.

"Do you know what I do to girls who don't answer when they're spoken to?" she murmured, her voice dripping with quiet menace under the mask. "N-no," Salma breathed, her voice barely audible as she kept her eyes locked on Nerezza's dark eyes. Nerezza hummed, tilting Salma's chin up with a gloved hand, her grip firm but teasing. "I fuck the answers out of them," she whispered, each word slow and deliberate. ••••• Salma, a well known radio show host, is used to strange calls-but nothing like this. One Wednesday morning, an anonymous woman dials in live on air, her voice low, dripping with eerie amusement as she confesses to a murder. Convinced it's a twisted prank, Salma plays along, her tone teasing-until the caller whispers something only Salma could know. What starts as a disturbing coincidence spirals into a chilling obsession. Night after night, the woman calls back, turning Salma into her unwilling confidante, her chosen messenger. Each call comes with cryptic clues, taunts wrapped in silken words, a deadly puzzle Salma is forced to solve-because if she doesn't, she'll be the next victim. But fear gives way to fascination. Then obsession. As the game between them intensifies, Salma finds herself drawn to the voice on the other end of the line-a voice that knows her deepest fears, her darkest desires. The hunt for the truth becomes a tangled web of danger, passion, and something far more dangerous than death. They should be enemies. One is the hunter, the other the prey. But what happens when they fall in love? Written by: Tzipora Rosen Edited by: Lean Catherine Benton Disclaimer: Sexually explicit content Violence Strong language 🏆 #1 horror-thriller 🏆 #1 Toxic

To Heaven, love is energy. To Aaron, it's a death sentence. The Balcony of Heaven harvests remembrance, converts it into blessings, and keeps the world spinning. But the system has a flaw: Hope. She is the only human the BOH cannot reach, a girl destined for nothing but lifetimes of misfortune and tragedies. She wants nothing more than an ordinary life free from the cursed fate that haunts her every step. Saving her is a risk no one would take. Yet Aaron, an agent of the BOH on the verge of vanishing, chooses her anyway. Every step toward Hope pushes him closer to a second death, or worse, turning into a vengeful spirit consumed by the dark past he tries to keep buried. He doesn't care, as long as he can give her the life she's always dreamed of. He's a ticking time bomb. She's a magnet for disaster. Together, they are a glitch in the divine machinery, a loophole a millennia-old demon has waited centuries to exploit for his revenge against Heaven and Earth. Their survival is the ultimate sin. And falling in love won't just break the rules. It will tear both worlds apart.

Book 1 of the Terran Restoration Series ⋆ ✦ ⋆ Formerly called Dark Night. Forensic Biologist Dr. Lark Whitmore is part of a survey team sent to planet M51-VCS‑6‑N1 one month ahead of a group of new residents. At first, the mission seems simple: study the land, catalog resources, identify profit regions, and ensure a smooth landing for those who will follow. But as the team explores breathtaking landscapes and discovers alien wonders, cracks begin to show. The planet is unpredictable, the corporation is profit-driven, and this dream "paradise" is far more hostile than anyone imagined. Stuck together under an impossible deadline, the researchers clash, compromise, and realize that trust-and perhaps something more-may be the only thing keeping them sane. A story of exploration, corporate greed, and moral compromise, where the frontier is beautiful, dangerous, and unforgettable. ⋆ ✦ ⋆ Best Ranks: #1 in Forensics #3 in Science Fiction-Space & Serious #4 in Coworkers #5 in Galaxy & Corporate #10 in Romantasy ⋆ ✦ ⋆ Themes and TWs: ememies to lovers (disagreeing corporate coworkers to lovers?), corporate greed and politics, death, gore, horror/thriller elements, suffocation, drowning, electrocution, gunshot, combat/military, forensics ⋆ ✦ ⋆ The cover of this book is composed of two of the Hubble Space Telescope's photos: the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) surrounded by a border of galaxies within the Hubble Ultra Deep Field.
