Jabesh Grayson is a simple man trying to make a not-so-honest living in a harsh and unforgiving galaxy. He has smuggled for Boss Statham his entire life, but after a run goes bad he is given a choice: either take on a dangerous new job or lose everything. He and his crew must take a piece of precious cargo across the Damocles Gulf, a lawless sector of space filled with pirates and Imperial privateers, and deliver it to the waiting Damocles Empire, a race of aliens beyond the fringe of human space. The catch? Statham won't tell them what they're carrying. Worse yet, other entities have taken an interest in nabbing the enigmatic cargo for themselves. Can the diverse crew of the Chickadee escape the clutches of rival outlaws? And if the Human Empire gets involved, will they have any hope at all?All Rights Reserved

Save Me by JayKay531

This is actually supposed to be the 5th installation of The Arrangement series but it's the third book I wrote. Feel free to read this while I write the actual 3rd part. Jordyn Kane-Evans is a 27 year old detective working with the Special Victims Unit. When she was younger she came across one of her mums old journals and when she found out about how she had been assaulted she knew right then that she wanted to put creeps like him behind bars. Whilst she had a successful career putting rapists away she wasn't very successful in the dating department. Even though what she did was quite noble, the women she dated couldn't handle it. They worried for her and couldn't take the long hours she had to work, sometimes working through the night. Her mothers worried for her, they just really wanted their Angel to settle down and find a good partner who could be there for her since she would need someone to emotionally support her considering how draining her job could be. Alex Carter, 28, is a prosecutor who takes on all rape cases and occassionally acts as a defence attorney especially when police brutality is involved. She has a deep hatred for cops. Especially Detective Kane-Evans and her sleazebag partner Detective Rivers. But she has no choice but to work with them especially in rape cases. Unfortunately, Detective Kane-Evans was the best in her field. Alex found her absolutely gorgeous with her long dark brunette hair which was almost black and her blue green eyes, too bad she was an asshole cop just like the rest of them. She hated it whenever she would try and flirt with her. It was totally unprofessional and completely uncalled for. No wonder why everyone calls cops pigs. But then something bad happens and she finds the only person who she can trust and who can protect her is Detective Kane-Evans. She soon finds out that maybe, just maybe not all cops are bad. Read at your own risk. This is a wlw book and has adult themes like sexual assault and murder.

He prepares for his summer trip, excited by the prospect of meeting new friends and sharing an adventure with them. The expedition to the lush planet Forrestal looks even more exciting to Devon when he meets some of his fellow travelers; Flim, an alien boy with chameleon-like powers, and Jacinda, a bright girl whose trip is paid for by the foundation Devon’s family owns. Becoming friends during the voyage to Forrestal, the trio learns to get along despite their diverse backgrounds. The trouble begins during the descent to the surface of Forrestal. Due to an unexplained atmospheric disturbance, the shuttle crashes, trapping all of the children and their injured guide on the surface with no way to contact the starship in orbit. Taking matters in hand, Devon, Flim, Jacinda and another new friend, Merrell, set out to investigate their situation.

While not giving up their search for Flim, Devon, Jacinda and Merrell vow to help the alien creepers. The creepers lead them to the outlaws.

Thera Mallay, she was a self-made billionaire, having chains of restaurants across the globe and many other businesses. Her company was all she had. Her family? No one knew about it, friends? No one knew that either. Where she was from was never known to the public. Her company was becoming the best, the only competition was from Isaac Grayson, the owner of the Grayson Empire who inherited the company from his father. He was a typical CEO, ruthless, arrogant and cold. He feared nothing but the fact that Mallay Empire might take over his. So, when Isaac approaches her with a deal to merge their companies by marrying each other, will she risk all she had to be destroyed by him or marry him just for the sake of her company? --------------------------------------------------- "I will be your wife soon and I do have the right to tell you what's good or not", I said sternly. He chuckled darkly before turning towards me, "Wife? You will be my wife just on papers, just in the eyes of the public and my parents besides that I don't consider you my wife, Miss Thera Mallay. And don't even think that I am going to obey you, Ever."
