"But why are you here?" he pursued. "Mr Boyd," she started. "Ethan," he interjected. She chanced a confused glance at him. "Call me Ethan. After all, we're gonna be housemates for a month." He then put on a cheeky smile. She nodded agreeably. "Okay, Ethan," she emphasized. "I forgot another rule. No asking after my personal life."' *w*w*w* Skylar Smith was not what he expected for a cabin owner when he booked a cabin in New Zealand on a spontaneous streak. He didn't know what he expected but this woman definitely was not it. First off, Skylar was friendly and nice. She was kind. She was beautiful. She had a dog with a weird name. She worked at a bookstore even when she was loaded. She owned a cabin with high price rates. She didn't know who he was despite the fact that he has had his face splashed across TIME, Forbes, Vanity Fair and a dozen of tabloid front pages. She was also the most secretive human being Ethan Boyd had ever come across in his life. Ethan, with nothing better to do, decided to play a game of fact trading with her. They would each tell a fact per day. And as he got to know her more and more each day, he found himself magnetized by her and falling for her. And that couldn't be good, because he was bound to leave sooner or later, which meant it could only end with one of them heartbroken.

"As soon as you believe you are a monster is when you become one." After many years of war, the kingdom of Edria is finally in an era of peace--peace obtained by one thing and one thing only. A deal. King Regol has made a deal with the devil, or rather, a beast. A monster. Or so he claims. When he uses the deal for his own advantage, he threatens a girl named Zara, who has had everything but her family taken away. Zara is ordered to kill the beast Regol made a deal with, unbenownst to her that the deal even exists. When her attempt fails, she is left with two choices: to never go back home, or to learn from the beast so she can take back what is hers. She faces dangers on the castle grounds she thought were only stories; magic, creatures that kill a person in a single puff of air, and lastly, the beast, who can barely control the darkness that has buried itself in him for years. The longer she is on the castle grounds, however, the more she realizes everything is more than it seems... ...and that she has a power she could only dream about. **** A retelling of Beauty and the Beast Wonderful cover by @nicegirlsreadbooks Highest rank: #1 in Fantasy #4 in Adventure

I shouldn't have been walking around alone at night. I shouldn't have stopped and watch the obviously crazy man set the building on fire. And I sure of hell shouldn't have accidentally caught his attention. Then maybe, just maybe I wouldn't have been kidnapped by the world's most evil super villain. And then hopefully right now I wouldn't be wishing that he wasn't completely crazy, and wanted to kill every super hero in the world, and that he would, I don't know, take me to the movies, hold my hand as we walked together, or maybe take me to dinner one night. You know normal, cute couple stuff. Instead he likes to kick puppies when no ones watching, dropping me from high buildings, and throwing people into traffic, annoyingly. Maybe if I had just minded my own business and kept walking, maybe I wouldn't have been taken by someone who's whole mission in life is to watch every super die, and cackle evilly while he thinks of it. Maybe if I had just minded my own business and kept walking, maybe I wouldn't start feeling bad for this super villain. Maybe I wouldn't be questioning everything I've ever learned about him. And God forbid, I wouldn't be loving a villain.

The second I saw him I just knew my world was going to be turned upside-down. There was no way I was making it out of this bar without him by my side. But, he surprised me by not being a like every other guy I have ever met. His sky blue eyes pulled me in, that lip ring he's always messing with made my insides squeeze. When I found out what his career was I was crushed. Where does this leave me? I've seen my fair share of everything being an SEAL, the best sniper in at least the US. Now I'm an undercover Hitman working for a backdoor of the government. Nobody knows my name. I don't have room for distractions. One distraction, people die. Her candy apple green eyes were unlike any thing I have ever seen, and that's saying a lot. The things this woman did to me with just one look made me want to walk away from the one thing I loved the most. Worst thing, I can't tell her anything about the strides I've made in my career, yet she's the only one I want to know everything. That makes any chance of us dangerous.

Agatha 'Aggie' Stevens decided to join the Army as a nurse to make a difference. Having lived a charmed childhood, she felt it was important to do something worthwhile as an adult, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult. Dr. Roark Merrick was a surgeon in the same unit. He never smiled or laughed, and he never mixed business with pleasure. He was an enigma who kept to himself, and there was nothing Aggie liked more than to poke the bear. It wasn't uncommon for her to let her mind wander in the direction of Roark because it made the days go faster. Now, Aggie's tour is over and it's time for her to go home, ending the business between her and Roark, but does that mean it's time for pleasure? What will happen when she returns home and Roark stays behind?
