Charines, an introverted gamer, meets Luis, a hacker with a big heart, who helps her challenge a gaming company claiming to help the world.

            ***
Charines agreed to beta test a new game geared toward helping people battle their social anxieties and brought her cousin, Manny, along for the ride. She didn't expect to meet  Luis, a player she hated initially.  She also didn't expect the dislike to turn into a crush. But Chari only has Luis to turn to when the game seems to do more harm than good and hits too close to home.

Even though I'm a mess and I still don't think I'm good enough for him, I want to date him. I haven't managed to scare him off with my panic attacks, mood swings and no touching rules so I don't think that if I tell him about what happened that night he will stop showing interest. ****** Shy, broken Chase wonders if he'll ever be able to love and trust again, if he'll ever get over the trauma of what happened, if he'll ever be happy again. He was a content 24 year old, rooming with his fraternal twin brother Jesse. They literally could not be more different. Jesse is blonde, confident and straightforward; Chase is brunette, shy and innocent. But when tragedy strikes, Chase becomes a shell of the man he once was and Jesse is determined to protect his twin and help him heal. However, will it be at the cost of Jesse's own blossoming love life? Will Chase actually let Jesse help him? And will Chase finally be able to overcome his trauma and accept the love of the man of his dreams? If healing, family and romance are themes that interest you, then this book might be for you!

WATTY 2019 WINNER Hale, a state of the art android, can do nearly anything a human can. He cooks meals, cleans and organizes the house, repairs broken appliances, and runs errands. He can even provide for the more carnal needs of his owner. None of these tasks should present any challenge for Hale, and they don't-until he meets his next door neighbour, Rayner. Rayner seems like an unassuming gardener, but he asks Hale a lot of questions. Does Hale wish he could smell or taste food? What would he look like if his appearance hadn't been chosen for him? From the moment they meet, Hale runs into errors in otherwise simple tasks. He experiences bizarre sensations that none of his diagnostic tools can explain, and struggles to appease the people in his owner's social circle. As the errors in his programming begin to wear on his owner's patience, Hale faces the most difficult decision yet. If he can't evolve to meet her needs, he'll be returned and recycled into parts for future androids. If he does evolve, is he still just an android? Or something more? In all this, Rayner is the only man who can help him, and Rayner only has one question left for Hale. What does he want? Hale wasn't designed to want anything, but perhaps he can find the answer in the man with all the questions.

"𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙢𝙚 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙜𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪," he murmured, his voice a mix of defiance and unexpected tenderness, leaving me reeling at how someone I once despised could say something like that.

He despises how some women fall for him merely due to his looks and wealth, often being insincere to draw attention and believes that everyone has hidden motives, which has made him distant and cynical.

Except he's running late, and all her meet-cute scenarios are turning sour. **** Emmaline has waited her whole life for this; well, the ten or so years she's been following SMASH and been infatuated with the lead singer, Leo Lee. But when he has to cancel the super expensive VIP experience Emma bought, his super cute, super sweet P.A., Cameron, has the bad luck of having to tell Emma. But that's okay, because Cameron is *fine*, and Emma wouldn't mind meeting with him, instead. And as it turns out, they're evenly matched and get on quite well. Maybe it was her destiny all along to never meet Leo... Until she does meet him, and he's everything she thought he would be, and more.

Her heart will be fine after all this is over, right?
