The Last Season by rhonda92

Chloé Rossi has nothing. No family. No money. No future. When she answers an ad for a caregiver position on the ultra-wealthy island nation of Solmara, she thinks it's her last chance at survival. What she doesn't expect is the proposal that comes with the job: Marry me. Adrian Castellano is sixty years old, a self-made billionaire, and dying. In Solmara, if you die without a spouse or children, your fortune goes to the government-all 8 billion Solars of it. He doesn't want a legacy. He doesn't want love. He just wants to choose where his money goes. The deal is simple: marry him, care for him in his final months, and when he's gone, everything is hers. It's a business transaction. Nothing more. But the Marriage Verification Bureau doesn't believe in convenient deathbed weddings. They'll investigate. They'll interview neighbours. They'll show up unannounced. And if they find even a hint of fraud, Chloé loses everything-and could face criminal charges. So they have to pretend. Hold hands at dinner. Share stories over morning coffee. Learn each other's habits, fears, and dreams. They have to make the world believe they're in love. The problem? Somewhere between the sunset walks and the 3am conversations, between his rare smiles and her stubborn hope, the pretending stops feeling like pretending. And just when Chloé realizes she's fallen for the man behind the fortune-just when Adrian admits he's found something worth living for-time runs out. 💔 A heart-wrenching tale of unexpected love, impossible choices, and learning that sometimes the greatest fortune isn't measured in money. ✨ Set in the fictional Mediterranean nation of Solmara-where billionaires hide their fortunes, marriage fraud investigators lurk around every corner, and love blooms in the most unexpected of places.

The Heroes That Freed Kelloggsville by NyenellehBradbee

Kelloggsville was once a thriving town - until Queen Olivia seized control. Her iron rule crushed hope, leaving the people to wonder if life would ever return to normal. Their answer came in the form of fourteen-year-old Elijah Bridges, an unlikely hero drawn into Kelloggsville by fate. There he meets Kate, who reveals the legend of the Stone of Marie - a relic of freedom stolen by the Queen and the key to breaking her tyranny. Fueled by anger and compassion, Elijah vows to act. But he cannot do it alone. With Kate's guidance, he assembles a band of Kelloggsville's most extraordinary individuals - each with their own gifts, each with their own scars. Together, they must face the impossible: infiltrate the Queen's stronghold, reclaim the Stone, and restore hope to a broken town. Yet one question haunts them all: can a small group of unlikely heroes truly stand against the might of Queen Olivia? Or will Kelloggsville remain forever in chains?

Cure for a Nation by Tristancowley

In the wild lands of Aurora, from the frozen seas in the north to the dusty peaks in the south, a war was raged. The war was between two great powers. In the western forests rested the Steel Imperium that relied on the brute strength of its advanced mechanical engineering and weapon systems while the Warriors of Technology in the east fought with precise devices and guerrilla tactics. The Imperium wanted to unite the territories of Aurora under one leader while the Warriors wanted to keep to tradition and let the territories govern themselves. The war was a long and bloody one that lasted for seventy years until the Imperium broke through the Warrior's lines and razed their capitol. At the same time, however, the Warriors slipped by and decimated the Steel Imperium's factories and destroyed their own cities. The factions fought until the bitter end, leaving nothing but wastelands and empty cities on both sides. Now seven years have passed and a disease has arisen from the ruins of Aurora and threatens to decimate the remaining population. Out of the sick and ever shrinking population, there is but one woman who has the means to find the cure. This is the story of Claire and her search for answers. Commenting encouraged.

As they lead their people back to the surface, they find an Earth transformed-not the barren wasteland they expected, but a wild and untamed paradise. However, it's not uninhabited.

But as they learn more about the tribes and uncover secrets of the past, the two leaders find themselves drawn to each other in ways they never anticipated.
