Raven's many talents have elevated her to a position of prestige far above that of the common criminal. But when she crafts a scheme that involves outwitting one of the most cunning, powerful, and ruthless men in the world, she finds that she may be in deeper than she can handle. Kieran's sharp mind and formidable influence are a deadly combination, and they have brought him far. But with power comes enemies, and even Kieran is, when it comes down to it, just a man. Aidan is the fire to Kieran's ice, the hotheadedness to his twin's cool intellect, and the amalgam of their differences has proved nothing short of lethal. But then two young women enter the brothers' lives, and Aidan finds himself caught directly in the center of a power struggle that spans continents. Three extraordinary individuals. Two genius minds. One cosmic gamble. * 2nd place in the Arctic Awards 2/19 3rd place in the Rising Star Awards 2/19 3rd place in the Moonlight Awards 4/19 1st place in the Doughnut Awards 8/19 1st place in the Honour Awards 9/19 * Cover credit goes to MayaDemonAngel from Majestic Inc.

Afectus| Αφή: to feel, adfectus: emotions Ava Collins decides to participate in a programme experimenting on emotions. Every participant is programmed to feel one singular emotion per day. They are then given a steady job, a house and are paired up into random couples and forced to live a 'normal' life in a neighborhood sealed off from the rest of society. Career, house, partner. Everything you want from life! Just as long as they only feel their assigned emotion. However, the programme is faulty; they are experimenting after all! People's emotions are returning and as a result, they suddenly disappear. When a shocking incident breaks the program's control over Ava, she must continue as normal to save herself. She is confident she can trick the system, yet a fellow participant, Daniel Harris, is quick to notice; having recently dominated his emotions. Being in charge of their emotions once more, they join forces in an attempt to escape. The growing urge to reveal their true feelings, to speak up in moments of passion and protect each other at all costs, complicates things as they try to battle the system. While falling in love in such a situation proves easy, they must learn to trust each other and put reason above passion.

Normal. The one thing she craved for the most. The one thing that had felt unfamiliar. For most of her life she had spent it locked inside a place filled with pyromaniacs, sociopaths, pathological liar and the like. To her, this was what a normal teenager was, these were the kinds of people she would be told was just like her. But when an opportunity arises to leave, she is granted a chance to actually discover what is truly normal. Yet, everything had felt exactly the same. The question that continued to now linger in her mind is, whether there was something wrong with her, or them.
