Ashen Officer October Hauntings has always excelled at keeping romance out of her work life. At least, until she sees the brooding red irises of her new partner. Jasper Drolden is tall, dark, and used to be human. With each passing moment together, teasing out each other's secrets, October's heart starts to consider rewriting her policy on coworker fraternization...

It's been over two centuries since the human race diverged, and after about a hundred and fifty years, humans and ashen have figured out how to get along. Sort of. 
In Wrathfell City, the eastern 'human side' and the western 'ashen side' are separated by a wall that is rarely crossed. That is, until fifteen years ago, when a mysterious disease began randomly transforming the already-carnivorous ashen into monsters that crave human flesh above all else.
Now, a joint police task force has united the two sides against a common enemy, and its newest recruits are eager to prove themselves. Little did they know, the passion they'd find would go beyond just their dream job. 

If you're looking for an adorably pure romance in a tumultuous future, Ashen is the romance novella for you!

(Bxb) Eric Valence thought finding a job as an editor for a well-known author named Draven H. Malcolm was the beginning of his writing career. He had no idea that it would also be the beginning of his love story. *** "You're so clueless, it bothers me." He frowned, "What does that mean-" "You never wondered why I gave you all the best things on my floor - the closest desk, drinks from my office, my newest project. I even went to your house and picked you up to make sure you weren't late." "My portfoli-" "There are twenty three others with the same experience as yours, that was an excuse," he admitted, peering into Eric's eyes and daring him to look away. Eric didn't. Draven sighed, "The reason I got mad that day..." he paused for a moment, hesitating again but deciding to let it all out, "the reason I got mad is because I heard you kissed Jason, which I wasn't too pleased about but then seeing you and Justin together..." He never finished his sentence, and Eric raised an eyebrow, "What about Justin and I?" "I feel like you're doing this on purpose," Draven chuckled, examining Eric's confused face. "I'm not sure what you're talking about-" "I like you," Draven said clearly with his entire diaphragm, expression it as loud as he could for Eric to understand. Eric felt his throat squeeze itself shut, no oxygen coming in or out. "I like you, a lot more than I thought, Eric," he breathed. Eric was unable to believe it, shook his head and looked away for moment, before meeting his gaze again. "Why me?" he asked quietly. Draven shrugged his shoulders, eyeing Eric with adoration and admiration, "I'm not sure either, but I want you to be mine." Jan 24. 2018 - 1k

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

Hostile Prey by Ferretz1031
7 parts Complete Mature
Humanity is preyed upon by vampires and werewolves; both predators fight each other to be the one to eradicate the human race. The Atonement Warriors dared to fight their predators before humanity slayed their only hope and whittled them down to four: Draven, Lucille, and Micheal and his Jase. Now disbanded, Draven lost all faith in humanity, vowing revenge. Michael succumbed to drinking before following a treasonous plan with Draven's help to overthrow his king, unknowingly allowing the narcissistic Crown Prince to take the throne. Lucille left for a faraway place to live peacefully with her wife. However, after she flees a cunning vampire, Lucille is captured and imprisoned and awaits her execution. Meanwhile, one of her guards-along with her guard's boyfriend and girlfriend-try to uncover the truth behind the mysterious deaths within the library, where only the guards are chosen to go missing. Unaware of the mayhem Lucille and her guards' face, Draven flees into the predator-infested wilderness, after killing the former king. The Atonement Warriors are illegally reformed upon hearing a group of part-human, part-vampire hybrids detail their predators have joined forces to unleash their combined strength on what remains of humanity. But even battle against their predators can't compare to the doubt and mistrust within the regiment, the new king's dark, secret agenda about what lurks within the library, and a prophecy bestowed on the regiment before disbanding: Like water, blood shall quench the raging inferno.
When The Heart Sings by CrystalScherer
88 parts Complete
I will be your heart, if you will be my shield. In a world where magic supposedly didn't exist, Serena has spent years struggling to conceal her unpredictable singing magic. While wishing for a peaceful life where she can sing without fear, she sees a man in handcuffs being forced into a shady research center. Their eyes meet, and the soulbond is forged. Darien is not from this world, and he's been held captive for years. With the soulbond amplifying his strength, he can fight his way through almost everything, but not every danger can be fought with fists. Their love draws them together even as power-hungry enemies try to pry them apart. They want to control Darien for their own purposes, but he's too strong to be controlled by force. Their love is their greatest strength-and their biggest vulnerability. But magic has its own rules, and no song can go unanswered. Excerpt: I pitied the man, although with so many cops around him, he was quite dangerous. Who needed 30 police officers to supervise one guy who in handcuffs and leg shackles? I watched him walk down the gauntlet between the rows of officers. It was as if I couldn't look away. He paused and looked around. His brilliant glowing blue eyes seemed to meet mine across the vast distance. I couldn't even blink as his eyes seemed to hold mine. The trees of a park broke our locked gaze as the bus kept on driving. I took a deep breath, suddenly realizing that I had stopped breathing the moment our eyes met. I had never seen such blue eyes before-and they glowed! A shiver ran through me. I had been too far away to make out the color of the man's eyes. My eyes watched the trees, hoping for a break in them so I could see the man again. I had no such luck. --- Fade-to-black action fantasy romance Copyright November 2017.
