Falling in love with his polar opposite wasn't something Ian had planned. In fact, the only plan he'd had was to try and save enough money to be able to afford one meal a day on top of his rising rent. Yet somehow, he ended up stumbling across an ad for a video game while browsing online, and in it was one of their more popular streamers. Though, honestly, the guy hadn't looked all that great, and his hair seemed to need a good scrub, along with his wrinkled clothing, but for some reason, he hadn't been able to look away... even as the ad replayed itself over and over and over again.

Hitting rock bottom wasn't something Baron had ever planned to do, but things didn't always turn out the way one wanted. His fiancé of four years turned into a demon as soon as they said "I do." He tried to work through it. Tried to manage three jobs while still existing in his daughter's life, but, evidently, it just wasn't meant to be. His wife pushed him away and took custody of their baby, broke his heart after stealing his dying father's money, and severely damaged his will to live...

Ru and his friends from work decide to take a trip to a remote winter resort to get away from the stresses of corporate life. Unfortunately, within hours of arriving some of their things begin to go missing, and the culprit is a lot hotter than expected...

He dropped what he was doing and, under the ruse of simply going out of town for a convention, left town with just a suitcase and a tiny shred of hope that things could possibly get better... Can be read as stand-alone but would advise reading Snake first.

"You don't own me," I growled, my lips trembling in anger as I looked away, facing the door. I took a step towards it, pulling it ajar only for it to slam shut as his hand came down on it. I inhale sharply, feeling his hot breath brush against the back of my neck, the hair on my body stood up at the closeness. I can feel the anger radiate off him in cold waves, making my hand tremble against the doorknob shakily trying to pull it open. "Are you sure?" _________ Adam Fane is a super dorky and shy 27-year-old. He has social anxiety to the max and is super confused about how the flipping heck he got the job at this big corporation 'The Panther.' Life seems to have given him a miracle, that is until he meets his boss. Life may have just punished him for his past sins. As Taylor Tomlinson's friend once said "Your mental illness is like a middle name, I don't know what it is but it's there." Unwittingly, this quote describes the hotheaded yet anxiety-ridden nerd. Lorenzo Della Rovere, 35 years old, is the chairman of the multi-billion dollar company called "Panther". Power, money and looks, he has it all, not to mention. The dominance that exudes off him is not just a side effect of his narcissism. You would say "He thinks he owns the place", the issue is... He actually owns the place.

They took on forms identical to but more powerful than Earth's natural inhabitants, assuming full control of the human race. Their intentions? Breeding. With the Tarrlik plague streaking across multiple solar systems, wiping out whole planets, and exterminating multiple species, breeding with humans is the Dragons' last chance at survival. After genetically modifying the human race to enable them all to carry Dragon eggs, the Dragons never expected to create an entirely new species. One with powers. One in particular who might save the Universe. And his name is Reid Hudson.
