An amnesia-stricken Cael Barnett has more to do with the new regime U.S. and its workings than he realizes, and a genetically-modified Reena steals into his life to remind him of the part he plays and must finish.
After the veil between dimensions is torn and the presidency fails due to an influx of the supernatural, the Rich and the Political group together to form the Syndicate. Taking matters into their own hands, they are greatly celebrated in the 2300's they know now.
But it remains to be seen whether the Syndicate has the Americans-turned-Commons' interest at heart.

THE MULTIVERSAL CRIMINAL
A girl with secrets. Secrets on which the very fabric of space and time are threatened of their existence. "What she did was a crime"- is what they'd all say. But was what she did, really what she is being accused of? Is she really a criminal; a Multiversal Criminal? Harbouring knowledge unknown to any civilisation, about Gods of the Multiverse, she awaits a fate like no other. But there's always more to her actions. A man is on the lose, seeking the 'perfect system' for the greater good. But when it costs innumerable lives, is it really so noble? And a new organisation called IMG, is unknowingly dragged into this chaos, leading to an unfathomable event that changes all of their lives. The Galactic Patrol, the body of law and order, is depressed over the turn of events. But even when the sky seems so dark, some light shines through the gaps. And this time, it would change the Multiverse once and for all. Would death be their end? Or would there be something after death itself, that'd pose a greater promise? This is a race against space, time and what lies beyond. Be prepared, because what you might witness next may change everything you know, or believe!

"Good girl, now, call me Daddy!" He whispers, his voice sexy as fuck. "Daddy!" I voiced out, but it came out as a whispering threat. "Louder!" He commands. "Daddy!" I yelled softly, feeling the deliciousness of how sins are made. He kisses my forehead and then reaches to the bedside table for a foil packet. "Stay still, don't move," He orders as he releases my hair. "I'll about to serve you dinner in bed, and I'll make sure all ingredients are included," He said, rubbing the swollen tits. - Brielle Damara, a soon-to-be university graduate, unexpectedly reunites with a long-lost friend she had admired for years. Though initially hesitant and saddened by their encounter, Brielle finds herself ensnared in Jace De Leon's dominant web. At first, she sees BDSM as a twisted and psychopathic path, but little does she know that it holds a tantalizing allure for her. As Jace arranges a contract, a racy romance unfolds, indulging Brielle's desire to be enslaved as his submissive. Together, they explore consensual scenes of satisfaction and misery, where whips and shackles become part of their passionate game, and sex finds a new realm of expression. This is book one of the ADDICTED TO YOU SERIES. Rated 18 - Proceed with cautionComplete
They Made Us Monsters
In a world ruled by disease, fear, and government control, survival is no longer a choice-it's a rebellion. After a virus devastates the population, the U.S. government uses the crisis to seize control, turning teenagers into test subjects in brutal experiments meant to create super-soldiers. Those who are captured vanish into labs where their memories are wiped, their bodies are altered, and their identities are erased. Those who escape are left with scars-and the crushing guilt of the ones they couldn't save. Artemis Cross was never supposed to be a leader. But when she's captured and stripped of everything she knows, she becomes Subject 88, forced into a nightmare of pain, injections, and psychological warfare. Her mind begins to fracture-but one memory refuses to die: Z, the boy who once held her together, the boy she can't forget no matter how deep they dig into her brain. Outside the walls, Z is haunted by her absence. He can't eat, sleep, or breathe without seeing her face. As he and a fractured group of survivors drive through a collapsing America-riddled with graffiti, riots, and people fighting to the death over scraps-Z promises he'll find Artemis, even if he has to tear the system down piece by piece. But the deeper they get into the truth, the more twisted it becomes. Friends begin to betray each other. Love starts to fracture. And the world they thought they knew is far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Because this isn't just about surviving the system anymore. It's about burning it to the ground.Complete

I didn't exactly choose to be stolen at four years old. But the French underworld isn't big on consent. One minute I was Donatella Acardi, Mafia royalty. The next? Just another stolen kid bleeding in someone else's basement. That's where I met Amir. We bonded over near-death experiences and shared trauma. Real cute stuff. Then Demetri found us-trained us, broke us, built us back. We became something the underworld whispered about when they thought no one was listening. Angela Della Morte. Morte Nera. The Angel of Death and the Black Death. It has a ring to it, doesn't it? We're not kids anymore. We're not victims either. And we have one job: burn the French Mafia to the ground. Starting with the Don who ruined everything. But revenge doesn't follow a clean checklist. Especially not when I'm suddenly face-to-face with the family I swore I'd never see again... Yay. Now I'm stuck balancing the ghost of who I was with the assassin I've become... while navigating a castle full of lies, power plays, surveillance systems, olive oil, and one very inconvenient slow-burn romance. The mission? Still on. But if I'm not careful, I might survive the job and still lose what's left of me. And let's be honest-I worked way too hard to become this unkillable. ⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ ~Thank you so much for even taking a glance at this book.

Arc_Regime Cluster:ReBorn
Just a personal project of mine! I write slowly and constantly make edits, so I'm sorry if this takes forever. --- ARC:Re is a mythic space-fantasy that follows Kassian, Chanel, and Faust as their lives are upended by powers far greater than themselves. Somewhere in deep space, the nearly life-like androids known as Technics rule over grand empires: The Syndicate, led by Lord Fremax Canavagh, is a highly successful, militaristic dystopia-- a propaganda machine deadset on expanding its influence across the stars. The Core, led by Emperess Evefra Breloux, is an artificial planet that travels the cosmos; a war-world gilded with gold and jewels, seeking new prey. They stand as opposing forces, their rivalries forged by celestial deities and fated in the stars. Yet against all odds, the two empires declare peace. What starts as the first step towards a better future shatters into chaos. Caught in the crossfire, Kassian, Chanel, and Faust are thrown into a cosmic struggle beyond their comprehension. They're forced to settle their differences for the greater good, confronting political secrets hidden behind every corner. As they journey deeper into the unknown, they come face-to-face with the haunting enigmas beyond their world-- even beyond their time. And when the final choice comes, it may be their final chance to make things right. (Cover by me!)
