Joel Wyatt is a lowly call center representative who works for the "big, evil empire". No, really... the maniacal CEO of Vaig Communications has battled against some of the greatest costumed crusaders the world has ever known. Not that that has anything to do with Joel; he's just trying to keep the peace with his girlfriend, Gwen, make time for bowling with his buddy, Spliff, and afford the ever-rising rent prices in Denver, Colorado. But strange things are afoot in the 303 area code, and suddenly, Joel is finding himself face to face with the sort of heroes, villains, and giant, radioactive monsters that he used to only read about on his news feed. If he's not careful, Joel might just move from being a spectator to an active participant in a series of events that could change the course of history itself... and maybe even his own life.

Felicity Adams, a feisty, red headed girl growing up in port royal with Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner, has always had a deep and desperate passion for things that are less than fine. She's more interested in fencing than ballroom dancing, more fond of using her hands in hard labor than sitting around sipping tea. The fire in her veins intrigues many people; and catches the eye of Jack Sparrow. *Due to "questionable" content in a few chapters, this is PG-13*

With his heinous lieutenant breathing down his neck for answers and his accidental girlfriend dropping hints for a commitment, Nathan is realizing that his career and his bachelor status are both on the line. When the burglary cases suddenly escalate to homicide, Nathan must put everything else aside to stop the killer. But this is easier said than done when the blonde from the bar repeatedly shows up at his doorstep and enlists his own mother against him. Now he's more convinced than ever that his job hangs in the balance and that the Surgeon General's warning on the whiskey bottle should include something about women. The Detective is part of THE SOUL SUMMONER Series. Book one of the series is available on WATTPAD.

A crime-mystery lover Rhett Carver only wants two things in his life: first, to be taken seriously as a young detective, and second, to get rid of his never-ending bad luck that always gets in the way of reaching the first thing. Those goals bring him to cross fate with an irritating genius girl, Avery, through an unfortunate event that forces them to work together -- not once, not twice, but every possible case that happens around them. As the unlikely duo trying to make the partnership works, Rhett realizes that the biggest mystery he can ever encounter isn't lurking out there. It's right in front of him, in the form of Avery Kane. Now, Rhett wants another thing: to figure out what is actually happening with her, even if it means putting both of them in greater danger than they already were. Copyright © 2015 by Widya Nurul
