The Destroyer by authorburton

NOW COMPLETE! This book is a continuation of my previous book called Time Off. Centuries after Earth has ceased to support human biology, the human species lives on. Lola explores the outer reaches and the deep mysteries of the multiverse. We also peer back into the past, where humanity is desperately trying to find a way to survive. Lola is also the pioneer in human survival. Now, mankind finds itself having impacts on a universal scale and must make new discoveries, or else outgrow the expanse of the known universe. But there is a problem. Humanity is at risk of annihilation by its own creation. Please read Time Off first, which will provide more basis. I also wrote a series called Running Boys. That is a great adventure story. It can be read in its complete form or as two smaller volumes that are separated according to two different time periods. The complete form is a long read but a better way to experience the story.

Shouldn't Have Dealt - Book II by Mara19Lyn

I am not afraid of you. I will not yield to your demands no matter how you try to make my life miserable."

And god knows what the callous billionaire has up his sleeves. What was a one-time girlfriend for hire deal ends up to be a great deal of mess, and it's not looking so well for poor Angel. The contract has been drafted, and he wants her in. Jobless and desperate, Angel Mohr is put in the spotlight once more. Will she sign along the line?
