*Wattys Winner 2022* Charles Abbot is finally living the life he has always dreamed of. At only 25, he has managed to turn his unique magical ability of copying memories into a profitable business. However, his comfortable life is shattered when he is tricked by a thief into extracting a dangerous memory. Not only does it reveal that there's a cult murdering children in their city, but by possessing this memory, Charles' life--and the lives of everyone close to him--are now in danger. Recruiting the help of a gay potion-maker and a ten-year-old lightning-wielding prodigy, Charles must now find that thief and try to put an end to this cult's workings. But it won't be easy.

If there is one thing tech genius Kenneth Jones knows, it's how to make a computer yield to his desires-from turning it on, to making the keyboard hum beneath his touch. But when it comes to women? He's going to need a savvy, sex advice coach to hack his love life. Accountant Reese Wallace can calculate a return on investment faster than brewing coffee, but that's just her day job. After hours, she moonlights as a relationship blogger, promoting love, sex and happiness. The moment geeky Kenneth strides into her life, she's dying to get her hands on him. Strictly as her client, of course. Brains might be sexy as hell, but Kenneth's pocket protector and corduroy pants must come off. Once they do, though, Reese is in trouble. She's about to discover that it's not the amount of experience in bed that counts, but the size of the...heart that goes with it.

IF CHAPTERS ARE DOWN IT IS BECAUSE I AM REVISING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. Kira has always lived by her mother's mantra: "I can't fix it, but I can help you through." In Sudan, she's embraced this role, supporting those in need from the sidelines, convinced that real change isn't hers to make. But when Kira kneels beside Samir's lifeless body-the Transformation Army's latest victim-she knows they've killed the people's greatest hope for freedom. In the message he left behind, Samir lives on, entrusting her with clues to expose the TA's leader and bring their reign to an end. For the first time, she realizes there may be no one left to save Sudan... but her. As the shadowy leader of the Transformation Army draws closer to power, Kira faces a choice: step up and confront an enemy closer than she ever imagined-or watch as he destroys everything and everyone she loves. Taking a stand means defying her mother's words and risking lives. But in the fight for Sudan's future, Kira will have to face the reality that, this time, just "helping" won't be enough.
