Conrad - dodgy archaeologist contracted to the stunning influencer Amanda aka #mandalove - has the same job. When Fiona and Conrad's paths cross, what was supposed to be a straightforward quest turns into a crazy race around the world. With antagonists popping up at every corner - from mountain tops to underground settings like Serbian caves, frozen Canadian crypts, and the silver mines of the old West, Fiona and Conrad have to work together to catch their bird. Mutual respect grows into something more intimate. But not everything is quite as it seems, and they had better watch their backs lest they too end up underground, this time permanently.All Rights Reserved

Priscilla Sum by KartheyM

Priscilla is just an average college student with an average life. Adopted at a young age by a wealthy "power couple" consisting of a museum curator and a real estate magnate, she's managed to keep a level head, and not make a big deal about herself. Archaeology is a passion of hers, so when a visiting group offers the once-in-a-lifetime chance to spend a week at a real dig site, off the coast of Greece, Priscilla seizes the opportunity to pursue what she enjoys. Then... Disaster strikes. Priscilla wanted to believe that this was her Fate, but there seems to be other forces conspiring against her. The company organizing the dig is rumored to be engaged in some shady activity, her best friend since grade school reveals that he's slowly dying of a terminal disease, and most dramatic of all, her parents vanish overnight, leaving behind a letter telling her the truth: They are gods, hiding in the guise of mortals so that a very powerful enemy--a demon they've been fighting for millennia--won't discover the hiding place of their divine power: The very island Priscilla will be visiting soon. Is the archaeological group in league with the demon, or intent on discovering the hiding place first in order to stop him? Can she and her classmates find the hidden temple themselves? Will the demon come after her next?

Strangers in Danger by lilmermaidwrites

Attractive strangers Lucas and Cara were living normal, uncomplicated lives until sought by a group of bounty hunters. The price on their heads is high because the gifts they possess are priceless. They run for their lives but it doesn't take long to realize they can't run from their growing attraction for each other. Oof, that description was painful. This is a hobby project intended to work some creative muscles, which is why you may see iterations of the same characters in my stories. While not true fan fiction, this work is inspired by several of my favorite movies and film characters. I like to drop lines from these movies and characters as little Easter eggs. If you can spot them give them a shout-out in the comments. As this is essentially a glorified creative writing project, I haven't done the type of deep research that goes into a professional novel. I'm always receptive to constructive criticism that helps to improve my writing.
