The Professor's Girl by AmourMio22

Nova Quinn doesn't kneel for anyone. At eighteen, she's inherited grief, money, and a one-way ticket to Hellridge College-a place known for its elite programs, brutal professors, and whispered warnings. She arrives in black leather, messy bun, and sacred rage. She doesn't want friends. She doesn't want love. She wants silence. But the Vale Brothers don't leave things silent. Lucien, Ronan, and Kai are professors with reputations carved in fear. Sadists in suits. They speak to no one. Look at no one. Until Nova blasts music in their lecture hall and refuses to shrink. She's chaos wrapped in ink and pain. They're control wrapped in dominance and ritual. And when she's hurt, they don't ask questions. They act. What begins as protection turns into obsession. What starts as punishment becomes sacred. Nova doesn't submit easily-but when she does, it's not just to one man. It's to all three. The Professors' Girl is a dark, emotionally charged BDSM standalone about grief, power, and the kind of love that doesn't ask-it takes. Three sadist professors. One leather-clad rebel. This isn't a romance. It's a reckoning.

The Memory Collector by ILikeBooks215

--- *Description* In the crumbling coastal town of Grayers Bay, people are forgetting things vital things. Names, faces, entire lives vanish from their minds overnight. There's no explanation. No warning. Just a strange humming in the air before the memories disappear. *Nova Sinclair* has spent the last decade in hiding, keeping a dangerous secret: she can see and absorb memories through touch. It's a curse she's tried to bury until she stumbles upon a woman on the beach who collapses without a single memory left. Now, with the town slipping into collective amnesia and the echoes of a covert experiment she once escaped resurfacing, Nova is the only one who knows what's really happening. But the deeper she digs, the more she uncovers a terrifying truth: Someone is *harvesting memories* and they're just getting started. To stop it, Nova will have to confront her fractured past, navigate a web of deception, and decide just how much of herself she's willing to sacrifice. Because in a world where memories are currency, forgetting is the ultimate weapon. --- Ranks --- #168 - technology # 430 - memories #135 - independent #108 - mission #9 - scifi #103 - memoryloss

Project NOVA by Elagomezv

No one knows her name. No one remembers the program. Fifteen years ago, Project NOVA burned itself out of existence - a covert military experiment designed to create perfect human operatives through psychological conditioning, sensory deprivation, and combat reprogramming. Every file was erased. Every scientist buried. Every subject presumed dead. But one lived. Now, the woman known only as Nova moves through the world like a ghost - a silent weapon-for-hire with no allegiance, no past, and no record. Her efficiency is legendary; her detachment, absolute. To most agencies, she's an asset. To others, a rumor. When a classified threat surfaces - something tied to the same black-ops labs that built her - the elite strike team ONYX is ordered to bring her in as a consultant. The men of ONYX - Commander Asher Vale, sharpshooter Reid Hawthorne, tech specialist Kade Mercer, and demolitions expert Silas Ward - have spent years surviving on trust, instinct, and brotherhood. They follow orders. They don't take risks. And they definitely don't work with outsiders. Until she walks in. Nova becomes the team's greatest weapon and deepest fracture. Her presence ignites suspicion, desire, and a quiet terror that none of them can name - because the more they uncover about her, the clearer it becomes: Project NOVA never ended. It evolved. It's watching. And she isn't just their newest operative. She's the reason they were assembled in the first place.

The Last 0-Day by ThatBRRussell

The cybernetics revolution knows no compromise. Luciana Gutierrez, a police officer, works ninety-six-hour shifts with a eugeroic hangover around the corner. Her investigation into those who stole her life is sidelined as a crime syndicate turns her precinct into a war-zone. Sent for backup, she's offered experimental technology that could turn the tide, if she's willing to risk mind, body, and soul. Anton Grissom's birth was a crime, and his sentence is military service. Molded into an elite soldier, his path of atonement falls away when he's caught on the losing side of a massacre. In the aftermath, he's offered a second chance at life-if he's prepared to pay. Weaver heals the broken and disposable, and in the process makes cybernetics a reality. Superhuman strength, intelligence, and connections to one another, it could solve humanity's problems or tear society apart. But those concerns are secondary to Weaver, who just wants to see the next sunrise. All three are augmented for their own personal crusade and are on a collision course that will change the world. The Last 0-Day is an action-packed adventure about the start of the cybernetics revolution. It's Black Mirror meets Malazan Book of the Fallen with a dash of cli-fi.

Jace Reign - an ex-Enforcer with a past full of shadows - has been watching her. Waiting. Protecting her from the inside. Together, they run. From the system. From their pasts. From a secret society that controls everything through a virtual illusion called V1SION. But rebellion isn't just survival. It's falling in love where love is forbidden. And it's choosing to fight when the whole world wants you erased.
