Some people break like glass. She learned how to shatter silently. Skylar Altair wasn't supposed to wear a badge. At twenty-four, she was a certified prodigy-board-certified in half a dozen specialties, a nuclear medicine and neuro-path genius, a rising star in a white coat. The youngest. The brightest. The girl who never failed. But trauma doesn't care about your résumé. Loss doesn't care how many degrees you've earned. And the world doesn't stop spinning just because your soul flatlines. Her father died in front of her eyes when she was twelve. Her brother spiraled into addiction. And when she needed help most-when everything was taken from her in a single night-no one came. Not the heroes. Not the law. Not the system. So she stopped waiting. They taught her how to save people. Now she's going to learn how to protect herself. With the steel of a soldier in her blood and the precision of a surgeon in her bones, Skylar trades the hospital lights for sirens, scrubs for Kevlar. Becoming a cop was never the plan. But plans change-especially after the aftershock. In a city that's breaking at the seams, Skylar will have to confront everything she tried to bury: her rage, her grief, her brilliance, and the terrifying possibility that maybe-just maybe-she was meant for this life all along. Genius. Survivor. Rookie. She's not trying to be a hero. She's just trying not to fall apart again.

LEAVE IT TO A MITCHELL TO BE A FLIGHT RISK. [jake seresin x oc] [top gun: maverick]

Florence Taylor didn't come to Formula One to be liked - she came to win. At twenty-two, newly promoted to Red Bull Racing, she's fast, furious, and relentlessly judged in a sport that watches her every move twice as closely. Her biggest problem has a name: Max Verstappen. World Champion. Teammate. Enemy. They despise each other on sight - too competitive, too stubborn, too unwilling to give an inch - and every race weekend turns into a battle of pride, data, and control. But rivalry has a way of cutting dangerously close to obsession, and the closer they're forced to work together, the harder it becomes to tell where hatred ends.

When my mother was alive, magic was the only string that kept her and I together. The silly card tricks, even pulling a rabbit out of the hat. It all connected me to her, pulling me into a seemingly better reality than where I was. But in the blink of an eye, she was gone. That string snapped. Magic was only real if you believed, and at that point, it was just a game to me. All it did was provide false hope. I forced myself to keep performing for her, deceive others into thinking that what they saw was real. Seeing magic fill others with joy made me question; why. Why would seeing something impossible make someone so happy? Because seeing is believing. And the closer you look, the less you'll see.

Secrets, betrayal, and forbidden desire intertwine in the world of dragon riders. THIS IS THE SECOND INSTALLMENT Serene Panchek has lived her life in the shadows, trained to be silent and invisible, a master at hiding her secrets. But now, as a third-year in the Fourth Wing, she's drawn into the orbit of Xaden Riorson, the infamous rebel leader with secrets of his own. Their connection is electric, undeniable, and dangerous-especially as Serene discovers that the rebellion may be her only way to escape her father's iron grip. But the truth is as deadly as it is liberating, and as the lines between loyalty and love blur, Serene must decide how much she's willing to risk... and who she's willing to betray. When Violet Sorrengail arrives, bringing both chaos and possibility, Serene and Xaden's forbidden connection is tested, revealing a path that could either doom them... or ignite a revolution. Pre-Fourth Wing ☑ Fourth Wing ☑ Iron Flame (currently) Onyx Storm (TBD)

Now, six years later, she finds herself caught in a dangerous dance of forbidden desire with Thomas Shelby himself.

As war looms on the horizon and fate conspires to tear them apart, both Beatrice and Tommy will learn that first love leaves scars that even time cannot heal. When their paths cross again years later, they'll discover that some feelings survive even the darkest nights - but the people who emerge from the shadows of war are not the same ones who walked into them.
