When second year Carthwright University student Olyss Glass is assigned Emory Ghosh as her roommate for the year, she thinks she couldn't possibly have worse luck. Emory is intimidating - as the lead intern at CarthTech, she's heading up a top secret initiative known to the rest of the world as The Gloaming Project, and on top of that, she's the smartest person Olyss has ever met.

In an attempt to find some common ground, Olyss convinces Emory to re-open Emory's old amateur detective agency together, but neither of them could have anticipated that a series of seemingly unrelated cases link back to a conspiracy that could threaten the world's freedom of thought.

And there's definitely no way they could have known that the conspiracy is Emory's fault.

After barely surviving an attempt on her life, alchemy student Ariel investigates her new supernatural roommates as possible suspects. Nothing can prepare her for the secrets she is about to uncover about her own family-or her infuriating demon roommate's constant attempts to get under her skin. Season 1 of The Wicked Series *** Ariel is no stranger to bad luck. Life has been an uphill battle with an estranged father and a stepbrother who hates her. Studying alchemy feels like a dream come true, at least until Ariel suspects one of her new supernatural roommates might be trying to kill her. Refusing to be an easy target, she uses her alchemy skills to protect herself and dives headfirst into her own investigation. When unsettling truths about Ariel's family and the world she lives in come to light, she realizes that those she suspects most might be her best allies. None of her newfound friends are quite what they seem-especially Haze. A demon of sloth should not be this hard to avoid, yet Haze defies all expectations, making it increasingly difficult for Ariel to deny the growing attraction between them. Still, the closer Ariel gets to finding out the truth, the more she fears her trust may have been misplaced. *** Weekly updates on Mondays.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 Newadult

After two years of successfully avoiding him, Emory's "simple" and "content" are about to morph into something a bit more frustrating and confusing and it comes in the form of her brothers best friend. Adrian Harley is a man of control. He's easy going and has charmed his way into the hearts of the entire Hart family. Emory has always been his biggest challenge.

No, what Adrian seeks from Emory is something much more intense. Darker. It's only because of his relationship with her brother that he swallows all of those urges for the sake of his closest friend and his own sanity. When Adrian offers his guest room to his best friend, he comes face to face with the one thing he can't have and his self control begins to snap. Adrian finds himself crossing the one line that was silently drawn when befriending the Harts. The line that leads to the one woman he isn't allowed to want. He's unleashed. Obsessed even. And she thinks he hates her.
Commencement (West Hampton U: Part 2) by shakethesphere
21 parts Ongoing
This is a part two of the West Hampton U series. The first book is "Tale Teller." When Suhana walks into a room, people stop. Violins play, birds sing, stars shine brighter. With green eyes, skin like caramel silk, and a smile that could kill, she was untouchable. She enjoyed the attention, and a lot of it she got, but Suhana never did and never will let anything or anyone be a diversion from her goals. Ruhaan was the kind of guy your dad told you to stay away from, but you just can't resist. Pure mischief, confidence, and a tempting smile, it's all he needs to charm his way through anything. Call him a playboy, call him an enigma, but what did it matter to him. He was destined for the NBA and it was just within arms reach now. Ruhaan didn't expect things to turn out this way. He wasn't sure what drove Suhana to dislike him so much, but he was fine with staying away if that's what she preferred. Despite their best efforts, maybe it was circumstance, fate, or maybe just pure bad luck that kept bringing them together. They have a choice to make now: resolve their issues to work together or let it be someone else's problem. It was a matter or life or death after all. They have one common goal: unmask the Tale Teller and make her pay. Whether or not they worked together, Suhana knew she didn't have to make life easy for Ruhaan, especially now that her best friend was not around to tell her to play nice. Ruhaan would happily endure whatever torture she threw his way, maybe even enjoy it a little. At the end of the day, even if it was hate, at least she felt something for him.
