In the bustling waters of Bigg City Port, Ten Cents, a hardworking and loyal vehishifter tugboat, has kept a dangerous secret for years-his true form. He believes his monstrous appearance would frighten anyone, especially the one who matters most to him: Stephanie, the brave and confident young woman who works alongside him at the docks. As they face the daily challenges of the harbor, Ten Cents grows closer to her, but fear keeps him from showing who he truly is.

Stephanie is no ordinary dockworker-her kind heart, fierce independence, and surprising romantic confidence have made her a force to be reckoned with. She isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty and often wears her favorite overalls as she toils by the ocean's edge. But little does she know, the one she teases and trusts has been hiding more than his bashfulness.

When a powerful storm brings chaos to the port and a dangerous secret threatens to surface, Ten Cents must confront his deepest fears and decide whether to risk it all to protect the woman he loves-and reveal his true self.

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.

[Billionaire / Fake Relationship] The last thing Livy expects is to fall for Logan, the hot but damaged billionaire who wants to help her pay for her dad's medical bills. The catch: they have to pretend to be married for one year! ***** How far would you go to save the only family you've ever known? Olivia, a lifelong optimist, has just graduated from college and is about to start a new job when she gets the earth-shattering news that her dad is ill. Scared, she drops everything and moves home to be with him. While walking on the beach one day, she runs into the most attractive man she has ever laid eyes on. The chemistry between them is sizzling from the first moment. Turns out, he is rich, successful, and battling the demons of a past relationship that has left him broken. But when he finds out that Livy needs help paying for her dad's medical bills, he jumps to her rescue. The catch: they have to pretend to be happily married for at least one year. Enough time for her to get the trust fund money her grandma left her so that she can pay him back, and enough time for him to change his bad boy reputation. But things get complicated when feelings and a burning desire enter the picture. [[word count: 90,000-100,000 words]] Cover designed by Holly Thurston
