In this mercenary industry of ours, all manner of people find themselves with unexpected bedfellows. Audax Aquilla and Vanessa are a prime example of surprising success in spite of their odd partnership. They've been good friends for years as the aloof but professional Audax and abrasive but skilled Vanessa. Their relationship suddenly changes, after one near fatal encounter with an aging security bot. That night, scared for Audax's life, Vanessa pulls off the mask, and to her shock finds the utter mess known as Phil Giampoalo. They can't go on as their mercenary personas and I can only hope that the two people would accept one another and remain partners.

Born in Sin [BOOK 1]
"Trespassing in a commoners home is 1 year in prison...2 if you're discovered to be a thief. The laws on Crex are pretty strict... but to trespass into the palace?" She let out a low whistle. "That's pretty bad." Great. Neo thought, this was just what he needed. Not only was he currently being humiliated by wearing this movement restricting collar, but now he was currently being sassed by a Vaulkarian female that should be in bed and resting. ~~~ Neo Adranni is a charming, puns ahoy kind of guy. In fact, he's not just any guy. He's secretly a prince from planet Valaria who ran away in search for something greater, and so far he thinks he's got it. The life as a thief has been WAY more exhilarating then sitting around in a palace learning proper etiquette. (And of course it's always nice being Vaulkarian, the most gorgeous of humanoid aliens, especially when your in the mood for a quick bump in the night.) Jacquelyn Wake, a small servant girl with a lot of tricks up her sleeves. She's adored by the Queen of Crex, so much so that she's even considered to be the adopted daughter. She works to earn her keep, to help in any way she can if there's a job to be done, against the Queen's wishes might I add. However, despite all this, there has always been something... off about her. She's always watching. Always listening. And always seems to be in the right place at the right time... A true tale of love that only just barely SCRATCHES the surface of what is to come for the galaxy. After all this is just BOOK 1 "Sometimes... Love is worth dying for."Dokončeno
Operation: One Night, One War
Everyone fears Major Alexander Draven. At twenty-nine, he's the youngest Major to command an elite operations camp buried deep in the burning sands of Iraq - a man born from a dynasty of power and politics. His father runs corporations and elections alike. Alexander? He runs a battlefield like an empire - cold, precise, merciless. No soldier crosses him. No enemy survives him. No one touches him - until her. Lyra Brooks was never supposed to end up here. She's just the pretty army doctor with a smile too perfect to trust. Lyra knows how to stitch up bullet wounds but not her own scars. She keeps her heart locked away behind sarcasm and late-night drinks. But here she is, buried in blood and sand as a Field Surgical Resident with the U.S. Army Medical Corps. One drunken night. A bar miles from base. A man everyone fears and a woman who pretends she doesn't fear anything at all. One night of brutal, wordless heat neither of them ever mentioned again. Until now. When the two pink lines appear in the harsh white light of the medical tent, Lyra knows one thing for certain - Alexander Draven cannot find out. Not now. Not here, never. But war doesn't care about secrets. Danger doesn't care about mistakes. And Major Draven? He does not like being kept in the dark.Dokončeno
Star Crew
In the far reaches of a distant future, humanity has long broken free from the confines of Earth. With the stars now within reach, colonies spread across planets, moons, and entire systems. Science and medicine have advanced beyond ancient limitations, and through the revolutionary CRISPER Program, human lifespans stretch far longer than ever before though mortality remains an inevitable truth. But with progress comes conflict. Newly discovered resources hidden throughout the galaxy ignite political tension and territorial greed. Old rivalries flare anew as factions, governments, and corporations clash for control of the wealth scattered among the stars. While countless citizens choose neutrality and cling to peaceful lives within the growing sprawl of civilization, not everyone avoids the chaos. For mercenaries, warlords, pirates, and scavengers, the universe is a battleground and a marketplace. Danger lurks behind every contract, every derelict ship, every shadowed asteroid belt. Yet for those willing to risk everything, the rewards are higher than ever. In this age of expansion and unrest, fortune favors the bold... and the desperate. Some fight for survival. Some fight for power. But many fight simply because in this new era, danger is money.
Miss Marvelous: Chaotic Summer
After finishing her first year of high school, Vanessa tags along with her foster dad Joe to The Acres, a retreat center in Watertown US, to deal with the new Rabies variant that's becoming a global crisis due to the wide spread of Albino Anacondas. During her stay at the camp, Vanessa makes some new friends, gets tangled in new life or death situations, meets a mysterious stranger, and taps into a stronger power she never knew she was capable of. Teaser: The closest one to me is in Watertown. After a minute or two of showing the list, the camera flickered back to the lady and she began talking about how the U.S government will deal with this new virus. Losing interest in the topic, I switched the channel to DisneyPlus and put on one of my top favourite movies; Doctor Strange. I love how the editors behind the movie made the effects SO realistic. Twenty minutes into the movie, I got a text from my friend Rachel.Dokončeno
Burning Point: Finale
Burning Point The final book in the Bound by Honoe series Major Cecelia Livingston never asked to become the center of a war. But after months of betrayals, ambushes, and bleeding secrets, she's no longer just the team's medic-she's their last shot at unraveling the truth. The base is compromised. Trust is scarce.

As Cecelia returns home to recover, the team scatters, grieving another loss. But the war isn't over. It's just changed shape. From shadowed military offices to silent helicopter flights, the final operation begins-not against an outside enemy, but the powerful insiders who orchestrated it all. With the truth buried under layers of corruption, and loyalties fraying at the edges, Cecelia and Callan must follow the evidence to its final, brutal conclusion. But uncovering the truth comes at a cost. And not everyone is walking away from this alive.

Making groundbreaking marine discoveries at the ripe age of 17, carrying the weight of her whole life alone since she was 14 years old; she was well accustomed to the way life worked and her firm theory that it was easier and nearly essential to do it all alone in order to succeed. But when her curiosity to retrieve inaccessible satellite data meets the event of reed richards in a pit of dread due to pulled funding on his nearly done spacecraft, she is forced to do nothing but join a team. alas, she goes into space and harnesses much more than she can imagine. four years later, she is one of the five anomalies affected by that space launch. she didn't just retrieve data for ocean research, she became the epitome of it itself - and while it is the one thing she loves most in the whole world, it doesn't mean she's fond of the fact that it's become almost all of her. inescapable, bonded, and forever tied. while the other four soon adapted to their abilities, Olivia struggled to fully become one with it, and it certainly didn't help that she refused assistance, especially from the boy who insisted to aid as if he wasn't literally going to take her to her boiling point.
'Sacmis' (formerly 'Alien Abduction')
Four women - a lawyer, a teacher, an athlete and a soldier - are abducted by four alien men. The aliens, far from being bug-eyed monsters, have 90% human DNA. Despite the circumstances, the women are fascinated by their captors. Particularly when they discover the men have taken time to learn everything about them: even down to filling the women's on-board wardrobes with their favourite labels! ("For an alien," says Amisha, "he certainly knows how to shop.") They also discover that the men have the power to connect with them at a deeper level. So much so that the women can experience - directly - what it is like to be a man! With amazing consequences. But danger threatens: not just the women, but mankind itself. On the aliens' home planet of Sacmis, a genetic disorder has resulted in male births massively exceeding female births. So much so that most men can never hope to have a relationship with a woman. Let alone sex. To save the planet from extinction, Sacmis has prepared a fleet of slaveships to abduct compatible women from Earth in large numbers, to be used purely for breeding purposes. Somehow, the four alien men and the four women have to stop them. © Adriana Nicolas 2016Dokončeno

[Featured on WATTPAD PICKS] The last thing you'd imagine Earth's General having is an identity crisis, let alone in the middle of an interstellar war, but for General Avalyn Concerto she begs to differ. ⋆⋆⋆⋆ Ever since the last battle against Primordial--Earth's immortal alien foe--Ava has been living in a constant nightmare. She will never forget how heavy the sword feels in her palm, how her abilities take over. She will never forget the moment she kills her best friend, the moment before she lost control. Attempting to fix herself, Ava ventures off into the demon-infested world in search of her missing birth record. She will do whatever it takes to find it, even if that means breaking the laws and committing treasonous acts. But once Ava is caught, she quickly finds out it will take more than thievery and violence to stitch herself back together. It will require dark magic, a pair of alien princes, a pompous man whose hair is as white as snow, a blue god's threat, and the perfect stage set for secrets to unfold.

Under His Watch

She's also the only person who's ever made me forget I was supposed to follow the rules. I should keep my distance. She's unpredictable. Sharp-tongued. Way too hot to be trusted.

But every time she pushes my buttons, I come undone.Dokončeno
