Heptagram (Unleashed, Book 1) by Naomi_Anika

When her mother sends her to a mysterious man who may be able to help with her problem, Lyssa could never have imagined that she would end up entangled in such a mess. Not only is the person who was supposed to help her missing, but she also finds herself in the very place she had dreamed of ever since she was old enough to understand what she wanted. Too bad the prestigious Aletheia Academy is nothing like she imagined. She will soon realize that even the walls in this place have secrets. Students are going missing in the middle of the night, and the high-ups act like they saw nothing. There's an extremely annoying young man who treats her like she's the center of all the problems occurring at the Academy, and her mind popping out new memories every five minutes is no help at all. Oh, and of course, there's the challenge of actually surviving the near-death race she signed up for without even knowing it. One month has never seemed so long as Lyssa tries her best not to get killed, kidnapped, or have her mind reduced to shreds - all while keeping in mind her main goal, without anyone else finding out about it. UPDATES COULD BE A LITTLE SLOWER IN THE MONTHS OF OCTOBER/NOVEMBER AS I'M BUSY WRITING MY GRADUATION THESIS. I'LL BE BACK WITH REGULAR WEEKLY UPDATES AS SOON AS I CAN

Kallos and Katara [Spin-off: The Styles Mansion] by Lark_Den

Important Notice before you start. This book is stand alone. But It's a spin-off of my another mystery-thriller-romance book called The Styles Mansion, where Harry's and Venessa's story takes place as in Eros's parents. A few glimpse of past might get add in this but not fully. For better understanding, you should read, The Styles Mansion first. Thank you enjoy your journey. Eros Styles, a sculpted psychopath by god, who can be stopped by only god. He is emotionless but has that one enthralling smile that would put any woman on her knees. Not to mention his deep dimples that are the icing on the cake. Charm, money and A level genius. He has everything including the urge to hang someone or skin them as he would watch them die slowly. Emptiness is a huge partner for him. He gets bored easily. Nothing holds his attention more than two days or one. Until an albino Fairy stumbled in front of him. What if Aeres Bellamira is his next chase and obsession? Aeres Bellamira, an albino girl who has been living her life in a shell, under the protection of her rich and powerful parents. She has everything. Power, money and fame. But she is unique. Not in characteristics but in appearance that might have put her into a life threat. Her entire life is messed up due to the bully in school and whenever she goes. Her life taught her nothing but pain that led her to be a kind hearted person. No amount of money could put an end to her misery. It became more drastic when she crossed her path with a beautiful narcissist monster, who claims he is obsessed with her.

Rich People Problems by treeziaa

As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.

A Game of Cat and Mouse by serpentsandsongbirds

"There isn't a single word on this Earth that can describe how radiant you are. I am certain that a vision of you inspired the heavens, that one glimpse of you would make God realize why he created man. You are a divine angel and I am but a humble man begging on his knees for a taste of you." . . . Elio Nott is perhaps one of the most well-known bachelors in the Wizarding World. He's dashing, charming, and never serious. Which is why when Elio turns twenty-three with no signs of settling down, his parents decide to force him into the world of pureblood balls and matchmaking, much to his chagrin. The only perks are the *many* elegant females and, perhaps, the spiked punch. Elio hates it all. Until he goes to the stupid Malfoy Masquerade Ball only to find the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. But before he can even get her name, she disappears. Annalise Riddle is quiet, slow to trust, and prefers the company of her piano to one of her peers any day. As the daughter of the Dark Lord, she is constantly in danger so Annie spends her days shyly hidden away for fear of being harmed by one of his many enemies. So she isn't expecting to go to a ball and meet a stunning boy with grey eyes and a charming grin that takes away all of her defenses. Panicking, Annie leaves and vows to never see him again. Until he shows up another night to search for her. A Game of Cat and Mouse tells of a woman afraid of love and a man so determined to have her that he will stop at nothing. This book contains instant attraction, billionaire-esque playboy MMC, a sprinkle of dark romance, cinderella retelling, brother's rival, "he falls first AND harder", forced proximity, and lots of male pining. This is a spinoff of the Slytherin Boys series. It is recommended that you read my books Smoke & Stars and Darkness & Devotion for an idea of the character's parents and their backstories, though it is not required. This story does NOT take place at Hogwarts!

Reverie of the Fallen Deity by TheSixthRose

The world of Alaris had always been one ruled by magic and the will of the gods. Most had some degree of renown or magical power, even attaining the status of so called Legends. A woman of no real renown, Alistaria had attempted to claw her way to some degree of notoriety with what little magical power she had. Achieving the rank of captain of a royal guard, she had expected to live a semi average existence. Sent on an expedition to find the source of an emerging insurrection, Alistaria finds herself in a nearly alien outpost in the middle of the desert. After a chance encounter in a place she shouldn't have been, she is infected by a monstrous creature and is forced to watch as she slowly succumbs to changes she didnt intend. Forced into the grip of a vengeful god and granted the power to corrupt the world around her, Alistaria must navigate her own maturation and avoid certain death at the hands of those she once called companions.
