What if the worst day of your life happened in a dream... and you woke up with seventeen years left to change everything? Ethan is thirty when he has a nightmare he can't shake. In the dream, he's older, sitting in a hospital beside his grandmother, watching the woman who raised him take her final breath at eighty-seven. Then he wakes up. She's still seventy. She's still alive. And suddenly, seventeen years doesn't feel like nearly enough time. When Ethan asks his grandmother what she's always wanted to do, she gives him a list of dreams she's spent a lifetime putting off: see the flowers in Bloemfontein, stand on Table Mountain, drive a Kia Sorento, visit New York and watch Moulin Rouge! on Broadway, and, most of all, see the mountains of Switzerland. Ethan decides he's going to make them happen. What begins as a simple list becomes years of saving, travelling, unexpected friendships, viral videos, strangers who want to help, and memories neither of them expected to make. But somewhere along the way, Ethan becomes so obsessed with making sure they have enough time that he forgets to actually live the time they have. Because the truth is, seventeen years was never a promise. Neither is tomorrow. 87 is a heartfelt story about family, dreams, aging, and the moments we keep postponing because we assume there will always be another day. Sometimes, you don't need a warning about how someone will die. Sometimes, you just need a reason to start living.

Rosalie is the head maid of Castle Valemont, where perfection is expected and mistakes are rarely forgiven. Elegant, capable, and unfailingly professional, she seems like the very picture of a proper royal servant. Then there is Sir Alistair-a disciplined Royal Knight with a reputation for being calm, honorable, and nearly impossible to rattle. Unfortunately for Alistair, Rosalie discovers that reputation has one very entertaining weakness: her. What begins as harmless teasing soon becomes a private battle of composure, with Rosalie determined to make the unshakable knight crack and Alistair increasingly determined to turn the tables on her. Between royal banquets, troublesome nobles, palace mishaps, knightly duties, and the watchful eyes of everyone around them, the two find themselves spending more and more time together. But somewhere between the teasing and the laughter, something neither of them expected begins to grow. And perhaps the most dangerous thing in Castle Valemont isn't an enemy at the gates... It's falling in love with the person who knows exactly how to make you blush.

Everyone knows Blackfall. They know the name whispered whenever the city's lights flicker and the air suddenly becomes heavy. They know the man who can bend gravity to his will. They know the villain who has walked away from heroes, soldiers, and entire operations without ever looking afraid. They know the monster. Elara Finch doesn't. At least, not at first. To her, Kael Arden is simply an infuriating, arrogant man with an unsettling stare, a dangerous smile, and an annoying habit of appearing exactly when she doesn't expect him. Then he starts paying attention to her. Not the city. Not the Vanguard. Not the heroes hunting him. Her. And somehow, the most terrifying man in the city becomes the one person who makes her feel completely safe. But Kael has never been good at love. He doesn't know how to flirt without sounding threatening. He doesn't understand why he gets jealous. He certainly doesn't understand why Elara's smile can completely derail his thoughts. And when she gets close enough to hear his heartbeat, Kael discovers something no amount of power can prepare him for. He wants her. Not as a possession. Not as a weakness. As the one person he willingly chooses. Unfortunately, the Vanguard Authority has noticed the change too. And if the city believes Elara is Blackfall's weakness, they are about to learn the most dangerous lesson of all. You should never threaten the only thing a dangerous man loves.

The Little Girl with Green Eyes At twenty-eight years old, Noah Bennett feels like a man drifting through life. The dreams he once had have faded. The future he once imagined has disappeared. Days pass in silence, and the loneliness that once hurt has become something he barely notices anymore. Then, on a rainy night, everything changes. Abandoned and alone, a newborn baby girl is left with no family, no name, and no one searching for her. Determined to find where she belongs, Noah takes the child into his care while he searches for answers. But as days turn into weeks and weeks turn into years, the little girl with bright green eyes slowly becomes the center of his world. He names her Lily. Together they navigate the joys and struggles of growing up: sleepless nights, first steps, first words, first days at school, and the countless little moments that transform strangers into family. Yet beneath every smile and every precious memory lies Noah's greatest fear-that the happiness he has found could one day be taken away. Heartwarming, funny, heartbreaking, and hopeful, The Little Girl with Green Eyes is a story about loneliness, love, fatherhood, and the unexpected ways a single life can change another forever. Because sometimes the family we need is the one we never expected to find.

Adrian Cole was having a perfectly normal bad day. His job was draining, his rent was due, and the only thing he inherited from a distant relative was a cheap storage unit filled with junk. Or so he thought. Hidden inside was something impossible - an ancient stone archway that should not exist. When Adrian touches it, the door doesn't open. It fuses with him. Moments later, he finds himself standing in a vast and dangerous world called Eryndor, where monsters roam ancient forests and magic saturates the air itself. But Adrian didn't just arrive. Something inside him changed. A strange core now beats within his chest - a living structure that absorbs magic, adapts, and grows stronger with every battle. Fire spells become fuel. Monster attacks become power. Even the very mana of the world bends and reshapes itself inside him. The problem? Adrian isn't a hero. He's a sarcastic office worker who just wanted to pay rent. Now monsters hesitate when he walks by. Ancient forces begin to notice him. And the world may have just awakened something far older than magic itself. Something primordial. And unfortunately for everyone involved... it has a very dry sense of humor.
