Henry inched closer to the body, leaning over the head and gently prodding the cheeks as he took mental notes of all the wounds. "We'll gather witness reports after we take a look at the body." He pointed out some marks around the mouth, it was a bit lighter colored than blood, yet it seemed to be pouring out of his lips. The detective opened the victims mouth, and the color left his face. He could feel his stomach drop as he began to look around frantically. "His tongue." He began repeating to himself unaware of how loud he seemed to be speaking.

Rhapsody
Werewolves are real. Big deal. If NYPD detective Maverick Carson is being honest, he's always been more of a cat person. As part of a new expansion project, however, the 11th precinct is getting its first lycanthrope officer - an intimidating presence by the name of Emery Faustine. And, by some cruel twist of fate, Maverick is assigned to be his partner. The two hotshots are fire and ice. Night and day. Sworn enemies from the moment they meet, until a serial killer begins to ravage the streets of New York City, and Maverick and Emery must force their rivalry aside to stop the gruesome killings at whatever cost. Meanwhile, Maverick wonders if there's something more to Emery than just the creature he becomes every full moon. As he contemplates his partner's humanity, he wonders, too, if there could be something more to their partnership. With the case coming to a head between them, hidden secrets - and feelings - threaten to be revealed. Maverick must decide: is Emery human, or just a wolf parading as one? And, more importantly, can he learn to trust the werewolf, even if it means risking his own life? Highest Rankings: #1 in LGBT #1 in Magical Realism #1 in Mystery/Romance #1 in New Author

Beneath the Noise 1 - [MXM] ✔️
(Completed) Brothers of the Empire Series I've never been entirely sure where I belong. Most days, I exist somewhere between wanting to fit in and wanting to disappear altogether. The world moves too fast, too loud, too bright, too full of unspoken rules that everyone seems to understand but me. So I stand there, another face in the crowd, pretending the thrum of the music doesn't make my chest ache, pretending the lights don't burn when they hit just right. But that night wasn't about pretending. It wasn't loud or dramatic. It was quiet, a small break in the noise where something inside me shifted. Life never warns you when someone important is about to enter your world. They simply appear, slipping into your orbit so softly you almost miss it. That's how it began for me. One night. One unexpected moment. And the start of everything that followed. --------------------------- Author's Notes This story is told in short chapters, with many moments that build gradually over time. While it can be read as a standalone, it serves as the first book in the Brothers of the Empire series, offering deeper insight into the characters, their histories, and the overarching timeline. The series consists of seven books, each to be released only after the previous installment is completed. 🏆 Rankings & Achievements 🥇 #1 (Slow) - 09/07/2026 🥇 #1 (Family) - 08/04/2026 🥇 #1 (Spanish) - 06/01/2026 🥇 #1 (Mexico) - 09/11/2025 🥇 #1 (Autism) - 12/11/2025 🥈 #1 (Burn) - 09/07/2026 🥉 #3 (Fast) - 09/07/2026 🥉 #3 (Mlm) - 10/02/2026 🥉 #3 (Burn) - 04/01/2026 #4 (Struggles) - 09/07/2026 #19 (BxB) - 29/10/2025Complete

Torn between standing by to watch the scandal unfold and protecting the company's potential star signee, the manager chose the latter.
