There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in.

Small People
Title: Small People Description: Kayne Ray has spent his life being overshadowed-by his towering Vareshian lineage, by his powerful older brother, and most of all, by the cruel legacy of his father, a man feared for his hatred of humans. Unlike his family, Kayne wants nothing to do with the supremacy that shaped his childhood, but breaking free from his past has left him isolated, awkward, and adrift in a city built for giants like him. Everything changes the day he accidentally injures a human woman in a dark alley. Small enough to fit in the palm of his hand, Val is delicate, wary, and utterly alone. Wracked with guilt, Kayne takes her into his apartment to recover, intending to send her on her way. But days pass, and neither of them seem eager for her to leave. As Kayne struggles with the suffocating weight of his father's estate, a brother who demands more than he can give, and a world that will never fully accept his rejection of Vareshian dominance, Val becomes an unlikely anchor in his chaotic life. But the longer she stays, the more tangled his emotions become. His protectiveness warps into something deeper, something dangerous-a hunger he knows he has no right to indulge. Torn between his desires and his duty, Kayne must walk a thin line between the man he wants to be and the instincts clawing at his restraint. Because Val trusts him. And breaking that trust might shatter more than just the fragile sanctuary they've built-it might ruin them both. A slow-burn fantasy romance about power, restraint, and the forbidden pull of two beings from vastly different worlds, is a story of longing, control, and the delicate balance between fear and desire.
𝙱𝚞𝚛𝚗 𝙵𝚘𝚛 𝚈𝚘𝚞 (A 𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚍𝚒𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛)
Abigail and Jessie Edwards grew up in a house where love was a foreign language and survival was a daily battle. Their parents-violent, neglectful, addicts-left them with scars that ran deeper than the eye could see. Jessie, the older sister, was forced to become both mother and protector, shielding Abigail from the worst of their parents' wrath. But some wounds even she couldn't prevent. Then, one night, everything changed- A home invasion. A bloodbath. Their parents slaughtered while the sisters slept just down the hall. At the police station, still dazed and reeling, Abigail and Jessie met the last person they ever expected-Samuel Edwards, the grandfather they never knew existed. With a quiet intensity and an unsettling air of secrecy, he offered them a new life, far from the wreckage of their past. It seemed like salvation. But monsters don't just live in broken homes. They lurk in the shadows of new beginnings, wearing the faces of those who seem safe. Abigail finds herself entangled in the affections of two dangerously alluring boys-both haunted, both hiding unspeakable secrets. One is something not quite human, a creature of nightmares and whispered legends. The other? A killer, whose hands are stained with more than just metaphorical blood. And one of them... was there the night her parents died. As desire turns to obsession and secrets unravel, Abigail's world takes a deadly turn when she discovers she's carrying one of their children. The revelation sets off a chain of horrors, drawing the attention of something powerfully dangerous. Now, with forces beyond her control closing in, Abigail must navigate a web of betrayal, supernatural terror, and a love so toxic it threatens to consume her. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes-her past is far from buried, and the truth may be more monstrous than she ever imagined. Because in the end, some secrets aren't meant to be uncovered. And some love stories were never meant to have happy endings.
