A historical romance unlike any you've ever read. The hero is vulnerable and sensitive. The heroine is an ambitious cutthroat. And "happily ever after," just isn't happening. Set in Victorian-era France, mostly in Paris, "Vincent" follows the stormy relationship between a sensitive and enigmatic young socialite, Vincent, and his opium-dealing prostitute of a lover, Layla. It starts out innocent and cute and quickly devolves into a hot dumpster fire-ass mess clad in hoop skirts and ascots. Vincent Lautrec is the wayward son of aristocracy in Victorian-era France. Born with albinism, Vincent has always been an outsider, even among outsiders. His desperation for companionship is quiet, but all-consuming, a subtle kind of madness overtaking his life. So when he meets a beautiful woman who appears to accept him as he is, Vincent is immediately hypnotized by her. All the better for Layla Floraison, the opium-slinging courtesan who ensnares Vincent's heart. Amidst her life of violence and high crime, she tries to make space for the awkward, naive Vincent, only to find that she cannot. She is too much in love with her life to change it for him, and he is too much in love with her to leave. So, she draws him in, dismantling his innocence, one kiss at a time. Will she break him down to fit into her life? Or will he stand strong and bend Layla's will to his own desires? They both want love, they both want each other-- but they both have wildly different ideas about what that should mean. What starts out as an innocent affair evolves into a tumultuous battle of wills where someone must emerge victorious, or die trying.

Six high school students. One impossible mission. And a power they never asked for... Kidnapped by the ruthless bio-terrorist group NEMESIS, the teens are exposed to a new element called Primonium-unlocking abilities only the rarest of humans, known as Primes, could possess. NEMESIS plans to unleash Primonium into the atmosphere, creating thousands of superhumans and reshaping society on their own twisted terms. Rescued by Atlas Corp., a private military organization dedicated to stopping NEMESIS, the six teens are thrust into a world of danger, espionage, and powers beyond their imagination. As new Primes, they must progress with their abilities, trust each other, and confront a rising threat that could kill millions. From high school parties to global battlefields, these six heroes must stop NEMESIS before the world changes forever. Evolution isn't a choice-it's a responsibility. And the clock is ticking. 🧬🧬🧬 Red Skies is a semi-grounded superhero story with some light progression elements. Think of it as Captain America meets X-Men meets Power Rangers meets My Hero Academia.

The series contains 3 POVs, each dealing with different themes, character development, and aspects of the story. Chapters are 2,000-3,000 words, every Saturday at 12 PM EST.

"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
