When a corporate accident tears holes in reality, an entomologist and her con-artist husband become the best hope humanity has against total destruction. 

Hawk West is not the scientist we need right now. She's an entomologist, a "bug doctor", with a specialization in ants and an obsession with honeypots. Her husband, Alex West, is a reformed con artist. But a billionaire's pet business, the Ararat Project, has just torn a hole in the fabric of reality, and the things on the other side aren't friendly. Energy gushes out of the hole, transforming all organic matter into crystalline ashes.  They're calling it Glass, and they have no way of stopping it. 

But then Hawk's specialty proves to be the answer Ararat was looking for. Suddenly she and her husband are on the front lines in a war against an unseen enemy, whose actions threaten to rip our world apart...and whose goals are all too human.

Reverse harem and bxb and bxbxgxb and more Year 2045: Nuclear war devastated the surface of earth, and the people living on it barely survived. Those who did, became a bigoted bunch, living in small collections of likeminded people spread narrowly across the globe in small government-controlled colonies. Now two hundred years after earth destroyed itself in a nuclear war, earth continues to battle a racial war between the few humans left on earth, the mutants, and the Martians. Amidst the battle, the planet is unexpectedly approached by the Maxis Sovereign. The sovereign contains an alien species of sentient human-like people hoping to exchange knowledge with earths inhabitants for a life planet side. Crown prince Kie'a of the Sovereign is a man with a moral compass that doesn't quite fit within the confined living quarters of the space vessel. He fights hard, spending over a decade of his young life forcing earth knowledge into every spare neuron assessable. Is it the drive for freedom, as the prince lives a life forced behind a suit of armor- or the drive to make something more of ones life? The United Federation is Earths globally recognized governing body that controls the existing colonies of Earth. After far too many post world war civil battles for Martian rights, Old Berling leads the U.F front with its ability for its citizens to coexist well with the mutants, the humans, and the Martians. However, bigotry is not easily solved. U.F soldiers Malakai, Hendrix, and Zed are tasked with learning more about the otherworldly Maxis Sovereign and in doing so is forced to co-exist in the alien colony. What will the men do when faced with their own personal battles of growing up in a bigoted society, but now have to handle learning about an entire new race of people that threaten the very peace the men are trying to make on earth. Welcome to the earth descension project

When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.

What's home, if not the first place you flee from? What's love, if not that blazing, unexplainable feeling born from the ashes of hate?

Scarred by her parents' past turbulent relationship, which left her emotionally guarded, she endures her family's relentless efforts to marry her off. Then one day, her tranquil world is set ablaze when she collides with a man who redefines arrogance. Davian Ash. Ruthless, enigmatic, and wealthy beyond comprehension. He's a businessman with a shadowy past, and a darkness that clings to him like an impenetrable skin. His piercing Wildfire eyes unsettle her. Her big brown eyes infuriate him.

They both despise each other, but the chemistry between them is undeniable. When she inadvertently takes something precious from him, Davian's revenge forces them into closer proximity, and the emotions they harbor grow even more intense. Despite the adversity he drowns her in, she and her subconscious can't help but fan-girl over him, craving things she knows she shouldn't. She tries to resist falling for a man like him. An embodiment of everything she fears, a mirror of the toxicity she vowed never to bear again. And yet, as he lets her unravel the layers of his harsh exterior, uncovering the raw humanity underneath, she's forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: the beast has a soul, and it's a soul she can't ignore. Will she prove everyone right once again about how weak she is and let him in? Forgive his transgressions, dare to love the man who turned her world into ashes? Did the flames he put her through destroy her, or did they transform her into something far stronger than anyone, including herself, could ever gave her credit for?

Twenty five years after the attack of alien spacecraft, Earth is no longer the same. Not for humans, let alone for me, who was born from a human and an alien. We are exiled because we are considered traitors and live on the fringes. It's not a problem for me because it brings benefits, especially in the marriage program that I have avoided for the past seven years. Until finally, I can no longer escape and have to follow this program. I have prepared hundreds of ways to escape, but they have thousands of ways to keep me there. To make matters worse, the alien who is my soon-to-be husband is the feared General. The worst news is that I am the sixth bride-to-be. The other five disappeared into the galaxy.
