The Friedman Files: The Bell Tolls (Book 2) by DanteAdhman

I learned the hard way in Sisikawja that not everything is as it seems. Now, my friends and I are trying to write a new rulebook, a Fourth Edition to a story that's as old as time, if not older. We've gone from being survivors to being leaders, from victims to... well, something else and we're trying to figure it all out. We're fighting a war for the lives of a species that isn't even human, all while being hunted by forces that defy known physics and guided by a god who is more comfortable in a dive bar than a temple. This is a story about what happens after your worldview shatters and you're forced to build a new one from the salvage. It's a story of found family, hard-won hope, and the terrifying truth that even in this terrifying cosmos. Hopefully though, it's not in vain.

Locked out of heaven by JadenGuyer

Eden De Vries lived in a society where, unless you had money or knew someone who has money, it was best to keep your head down. Unless you had a death wish. A simple class system full of corruption, the police, and money runs her city. The only way out was money or to be bonded to someone with money. Being bonded, which was akin to soulmates, was A load of propaganda and rubbish to a girl just trying to finish high school and survive her less-than-high society father and his druggy friends. When unfortunate circumstances lead her to meet police officer Hayden and control freak CEO Caledon North, everything changes. Apparently, she had a soulmate or two, and apparently, the law dictated that she was stuck with them. This is her 'chance' to be more than another dirty girl on the street. Too bad she's an inconvenience and quite frankly, to them, not wanted. This is a mature, slow-burn romance with multiple lovers the main character doesn't have to choose between. There is slight 'bullying' of the male protagonists to the main character. But obviously, they end up falling harder. ;)
