Catching Avery
What do you get when you mix beer, tequila, and sexual fantasies? Don't ask. Avery With a great job, two of the greatest friends ever, a supportive brother, and an apartment all her own, Avery Ellis didn't have much to complain about. Well...if she could just ignore how every guy that she's ever been with has cheated on her, then she had nothing to complain about. Still, other than her love life, Avery's life was pretty uncomplicated. That is, until disaster strikes like lightning. Disaster = Nicholas Savage, her boss. Nicholas With a successful business, two of the most loyal friends ever, more money than he'll ever need, and the world pretty much at his fingertips, Nicholas Savage had no complaints. Well...if he didn't count his childhood and his trust issues, then he had nothing to complain about. Still, other than his issues with women, Nicholas' life was pretty magnificent. That is, until temptation crashes out of control. Temptation = Avery Ellis, his employee. Oh, the web we weave... With a girls' night that's turned into a disaster, and a guys' night that's turned into possible felonious kidnapping charges, Avery finds herself unable to resist everything that is Nicholas Savage, regardless of the fact that he is her boss. In a classic cliché, Avery and Nicholas end up breaking all the rules. Their connection is undeniable, but then so is the baggage they both carry around with them. With trust being an issue for both of them, everything comes crashing down all around them when old ghosts start showing up and begin haunting them both. Avery finds herself regretting that damn glitter and peanut butter fantasy, and Nicholas finds himself regretting being such a terrible wingman. NOTE: This book contains adult language, adult situations, explicit sexual encounters, violence, abuse, and some really horrible karaoke singing. If sensitive to any of the aforementioned issues, please do not purchase.Complete

If I got a penny for everytime I rolled my eyes at him, I would probably be a billionaire. In a limousine. With a hot wife. And a hotter girl to cheat on her with. And that too I'm straight. He flexed his palms and the flame disappeared. "With practice, even you can control your Blue Matter." I didn't say anything, just nodded. "This Blue Matter is stronger than Red Matter. It can destroy beings. Be careful with it." "Uh, so I am a DreamMaire?"

Shocker Rising
~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 1, BOOK 2~ *This novel serves as a direct sequel to Viper's Bite. I'd suggest either reading it or at least getting a rudimentary understanding of it before beginning this one, or you're probably going to get confused.* It has been 2.5 years since The Viper foiled Dr. Drevis's plan atop the Mercury Heights Space Needle. However, due to the events of the previous novel, her reputation has taken a massive hit; the government has officially declared her a threat and are now sending agents after her, with Vivian O'Leary and her superior Miles Burnstone at the helm. To make matters worse, The Viper begins experiencing strange visions at random intervals that appear to be telling her something---but she has no idea what---and they're beginning to interfere with her job of being a superhero. After she receives a cryptic call from her grandmother, who claims to know the true origin of her powers while discrediting her initial story as false, she departs Mercury Heights for the first time and goes to visit her in Honolulu to find answers, leaving the city under the protection of a newly-reformed Duncan Drevis and his partner, The Crawler, in her absence. Things get complicated after she is directed towards an organization known as The Opulent, who appear to request her help, but secretly have much darker motives. Meanwhile, Duncan and The Crawler have turned over a new leaf and now serve as the joint heads of a massive innovation company known as Lifeline Industries, which specializes in fields such as genetic modification and robotics design. After Duncan's long-lost sister, Monica, is accidentally mutated into the supervillain Shocker following an electrifying lab incident and goes on a massive power trip, Duncan and The Crawler must set out to stop her before she kills the electricity to Mercury Heights for good. • Cover designed by @CastimentComplete
