Lena Gibson lives an unremarkable life as a barista at an unassuming coffee shop in downtown Seattle.  Her biggest problems are working back-to-back closing and opening shifts, and trying to forget about her ex-boyfriend. But when she witnesses a man seemingly fall to his death outside her shop one night, she's suddenly thrust into a world of danger, intrigue and literal monsters.

Gabriel Rinehart is a vagabond straddling the line between two worlds, making ends meet by procuring artifacts from one world and selling them in the other. After stumbling upon what looks like a huge score, he finds himself instead chasing after a legendary artifact that could be unfathomably dangerous in the wrong hands.

Two people. Two worlds. Two stories. When their paths cross, they'll find themselves running down the clock to save both their worlds from unspeakable dangers.

CLOVE de llaacceess

"I've been a fool, Clover. Such a damn fool. I thought I could bury my feelings for you, pretend they didn't exist, but I was wrong. So damn wrong." He takes another deep breath, feeling the lump in his throat grow larger. "I've tried to deny it, to push it down and ignore it, but it just keeps coming back. Stronger and stronger until I can't ignore it anymore. I'm in love with you, Clover. So damn in love with you." His voice is thick with emotion, tears threatening to spill down his face. "I don't know how it happened, or when it happened, but it did. And I tried to fight it, I tried to convince myself that I didn't love you, but I was lying. To myself, and to you." He looks at her unconscious form, imagining her sparkling eyes and warm smile. "I miss you so much, Clover. I miss hearing your voice, seeing your face, feeling your touch. I miss fighting with you, making up with you, just being with you... I never realized how lonely I was before you came into my life. How empty and meaningless my days were. You brought light and color into my world, and I didn't even appreciate it. I took it for granted, and I'm so damn sorry for that." *********** Clover Whitlock navigates a world of secrets, shadows, and shattered dreams. Haunted by a turbulent past, she finds peace in the quiet corners of her local library, burying herself in books to escape the chaos of her reality. But when tragedy strikes, Clover's fragile world shatters, leaving her grasping for hope amidst the rubble of her life. Brennan Hart, heir of the city's elite and bearer of his own burdens. Haunted by demons from his past, he seeks redemption in the arms of a stranger, only to find himself drawn to the raven haired girl.

But as they navigate the treacherous waters of love and betrayal, they must ask themselves: can they save each other, or will they only destroy themselves in the process?

Retrogade of Expectations (BL) de twilightlurkerr

In a world where fate is a bond, and a bond is a chain, one young man is about to discover that his destiny is his greatest nightmare. Hale Schneider has always been an outsider in his own pack. Quiet, artistic, and introspective, he sees the world differently-and for that, he has paid a price. His entire life, he has been the favorite target of Jacob Storm, the Alpha's golden son. Charismatic, powerful, and beloved by all, Jacob's public persona is flawless. But when the crowds are gone, his "lessons" for Hale are brutal, and everyone-from Hale's own family to his closest friends-dismisses it as "boys being boys," convinced Hale is just too sensitive, too dramatic. On his eighteenth birthday, the one day every young werewolf dreams of, Hale's world shatters. In a moment of painful irony, he discovers the truth that will forever bind him to his tormentor: Jacob Storm is his fated mate. In their world, the submissive wolf is the first to sense the bond, tasked with the sacred duty of revealing themselves. But how can Hale approach the man who has made his life a living hell? Consumed by self-loathing and defiance, he makes a choice that is both unthinkable and unforgivable: he hides the truth. As weeks turn into months, Hale retreats further into himself, a ghost haunted by a secret that is slowly eating him alive. Meanwhile, Jacob begins to suffer. The unmated bond, left unclaimed, twists inside him, transforming the pack's golden boy, future alpha, into something weak, sick, and dangerously unstable. He knows his mate is near, hiding from him, and the humiliation fuels a raging fire. The entire pack is on edge, desperate to find the one responsible for their future Alpha's decline. To deny a fated bond is the ultimate cowardice, a betrayal of their most sacred law. The hunt for the mysterious, disgraceful mate begins. Trigger warning: This novel contains themes surrounding- Depression, anxiety, mental health, Sui*cide, abuse, trauma, ptsd

And she definitely didn't expect to wake up in the world of Fourth Wing-the book that once kept her going through the darkest nights. But this isn't a dream. It's not fiction. And survival here demands more than knowledge of what's "supposed" to happen. Now living under the name Liora Emberveil, she tells herself this is a second chance. A chance to become someone stronger. Better. Someone worth something. She throws herself into the role of a fictional heroine; confident, brave, untouchable. But no matter how fast she runs, she can't outrun herself. Because the truth is: Lila didn't come here healed. She came here broken. She's anxious, self-destructive, and still carrying the weight of a life she didn't want to live. And the more she tries to control the story, the more it spirals. Every decision rewrites the future she thought she knew. Every connection threatens the mask she's carefully built. And when she catches the attention of Xaden Riorson-a man who sees too much-her carefully drawn lines begin to blur. If you're not who you were, and you're not who you pretend to be... then who are you? 💔 Slow-burn romance 🐉 Epic angst & mental health themes 🖤 One girl.

Awakening - The Last Science #1 de Etzoli

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.

Blind Instincts de _Serza

*COMPLETED* My head bowed in a heavy mannor, not in respect, but in trepidation. I discern his unwavering gaze over my ill silhouette. "Look at me." I opened my eyes, though it made no difference. Black is still black, all I am left with are my four senses. He will kill me if I don't look. He will kill me if I do. He will look into my sightless eyes and see my futile existence isn't worth living. He will kill me, and he will be doing the pack a justice by it. He growls a low, throaty snarl to warn me about disobeying an alpha. There will be consequences, we both know that. His lingering growls let me know he is not going to allow me to contravene his word. I steadily inch my head upwards, visibly shaking everywhere else. Maybe he won't notice my depthless eyes from across the gazebo. My life depends on it. "You're blind." ~ Monet was born into a particularly prestigious area of her wolf pack, to parents of extremely high standards. Her legacy is to become the packs next healer, but when she was born completely devoid of melanin, all her mated parents saw was a disappointment. Being born an albino wolf pup meant a lot for Monet, but it mostly meant her condition had taken her eyesight along with it. What happens when Monet meets the Alpha of a neighboring pack? Will he accept her for what she is? ~CONTENT WARNING~ This book contains depictions of physical abuse, foul language, and upsetting scenary. This book is in no way, shape, or form glorifying domestic abuse of a parent or partner. This book is intended for individuals who feel at odds with their self due to their uniqueness. It is meant to shine light on those who differ from the majority; conquering, and overcoming those who lessen them for what makes them special. ~ Word count at completion date: 33,915 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
