Nova:
It was only supposed to be a one-night stand.
Now I can't get him out of my head.
Liam Stewart is everything I've ever wanted.
He's kind, sweet, caring. One of the best men I've ever met.
My past is tragically dark, though, and that's the whole problem. Grief is a shadow that's clung to me for five years, leaving me in a cloud of distrust, covering me in fear. Like a knife in my heart, they bleed me dry, preventing me from loving again.
But Liam's a fighter - in and out of the ring. He caught me by surprise. With nothing short of a major blow to my heart, he swooped right in and changed everything I've known. I want to let him in, let him love me, let him fight for me. I want to fight for him.
Will I get hurt again? Or will it be worth the hit?
Liam:
Nova Black is a total knockout-one I didn't see coming.
She's beautiful, bold and strong, and that's a deadly combination.
If only she'd realize it.
My trust is hard to come by. Too many people have ulterior motives, but not her. The more time we spend together, my guard comes down. But hers only seems to go up. I want to be the person she needs, if she'll let me.
Our chance encounter wasn't by chance at all, we're meant for each other-flaws, fears and all. She wants to run. But I always fight for what I want, and that's her.
Can I convince her that this is worth fighting for?

Bound by fate
Nova disguise as a boy to enter the military school. If she is discovered as a girl, she will be kicked out. She is desperate to hide from trackers who have been following her for a dozen years. No one would think to look for her in an all-male military school. She hides among werewolves and is one of the very few nonshifters at the school. She catches the new instructor's curiosity, and her identity is threatened. He claims to be her mate, but she knows that her kind don't have a mate and desperately tries to avoid him. If he stumbles upon her true identity, she is screwed. "What are you doing?!" growls his highness, ripping the knife from my hands. It tingles as his fingers close around my wrist. Fresh blood flows from the wound, turning his hands red. Deep throaty sounds, rumbling in his chest. "You hurt yourself," he says softly, pain evident in his voice. I look up and frown. "It's just a small cut," I reply, annoyed. None of the other cadets get this kind of attention. Besides, we have to learn this to pass the exam. "Shhh, it's going to be okay," he says, pressing me close. My whole side explodes with sparks. It tickles me. "You have to stop hurt yourself. Why are you even here? How am I going to protect you here?" he asks angrily. "I don't need your protection!" I shout, pushing him away. I get an angry growl back. Quickly I grab another knife and throws it over my shoulder, hitting bulls' eye. He glares at me, and the room has gone completely silent. That's when I discover that I may have gone too far with the insanely possessive highness, even though I'm grateful for the extra lessons he gives me. Then suddenly everyone hurries out of the training area. Leaving me alone with the growling, red eyed alpha.

Project NOVA
No one knows her name. No one remembers the program. Fifteen years ago, Project NOVA burned itself out of existence - a covert military experiment designed to create perfect human operatives through psychological conditioning, sensory deprivation, and combat reprogramming. Every file was erased. Every scientist buried. Every subject presumed dead. But one lived. Now, the woman known only as Nova moves through the world like a ghost - a silent weapon-for-hire with no allegiance, no past, and no record. Her efficiency is legendary; her detachment, absolute. To most agencies, she's an asset. To others, a rumor. When a classified threat surfaces - something tied to the same black-ops labs that built her - the elite strike team ONYX is ordered to bring her in as a consultant. The men of ONYX - Commander Asher Vale, sharpshooter Reid Hawthorne, tech specialist Kade Mercer, and demolitions expert Silas Ward - have spent years surviving on trust, instinct, and brotherhood. They follow orders. They don't take risks. And they definitely don't work with outsiders. Until she walks in. Nova becomes the team's greatest weapon and deepest fracture. Her presence ignites suspicion, desire, and a quiet terror that none of them can name - because the more they uncover about her, the clearer it becomes: Project NOVA never ended. It evolved. It's watching. And she isn't just their newest operative. She's the reason they were assembled in the first place.

It's about legacy. About what happens when you stop running-and decide to build a kingdom from the ashes. Welcome to the House of Cyris. And no-Cyris doesn't break.Complete
