~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 4, BOOK 2~

*This novel serves as the 2nd novel of Phase 4 and a sequel to "Lightspeed".*

"My wayward daughter was an impudent fool for not wanting to follow in our footsteps.....and now, she has paid the ultimate price. The Celestial Syndicate shall forge on, and nothing will stop us.....least of all you." -Angelo Acosta

After the reversal of the galactic titan Galaxara's decimation of almost all sentient humanoid life on Earth, the high-speed heroine Ariel Axilas a.k.a. Lightspeed has returned to her hometown of Cambridge, Massachusetts to continue her studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a worker at the Axilas Residence's auto repair business, and her secret career as the superheroine Lightspeed. Everything appears to be going smoothly until she is contacted by the Paragon James Markovsky a.k.a. Powerhouse, who requests her to investigate the operations of a drug cartel known as the Celestial Syndicate, who are allegedly stationed out of the capital of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. 

James informs Ariel that the Syndicate is headed by both a corrupt man named Angelo Acosta.....and his wife Daniela Acosta, with their daughter being the illegal immigrant Isabella Acosta a.k.a. Sharpshooter, whom James himself has recently had a rather tragic adventure with. Since James is busy with his life back in Seattle, Washington, he has asked Ariel to look into things due to her super speed enabling her to cover very vast distances in very short amounts of time, as well as Ariel's position as a migrant and her familiarity with the situation; in other words, he figures she'd want to help out someone who was much like her. 

And so, to avenge Isabela and help James in finding a path forward for undocumented children, Ariel sets out on another solo adventure to thwart Angelo and Daniela's illegal drug trade, while also making strides towards breaking migrant stigma at the same time.

She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."

Aurora Velasco fled from a life promised to her: an entire empire on a golden platter. Despite possessing the skills, power, strength, and knowledge to rule, she never wanted the throne, not with the risks. Yet, her people will stop at nothing to see her ascend as their empress. Determined to escape this fate, she runs relentlessly, evading all who pursue her. Then she meets him. Marcellous Di Capo, a notorious and ruthless Don, becomes obsessed with Aurora after a one-night stand. Known as the devil incarnate, Marcellous is accustomed to taking possession of what he desires, and Aurora is no exception. The moment she holds a gun to his head, challenging her destiny, she becomes his obsession. Little does he know, the woman behind the mask is his worst nightmare. - "We are going to play a game, my sunshine," he murmurs, his hot breath trailing along the side of my neck. His hand finds my heated pussy, clutching it with just enough force to remind me exactly who it belong to. My heart stutters, my breath falters, and all I can feel is the searing heat of his presence. His lips hover dangerously close to my ear. "One where I fuck you recklessly, without mercy, and you won't make a sound... because if anyone around us hears, I will punish you." *** This book is unapologetically intense, filled with a few graphic violence and explicit content that explores the darker sides of humanity. It's not for people who shy away from brutal, unfiltered storytelling. If violence and sexual themes make you uncomfortable, this might not be the story for you. Proceed with caution- you've been warned. #1 in Spy: October 9, 2024 #1 in plot: January 17, 2025

~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 2, BOOK 2~ *This novel serves as the 2nd novel of Phase 2 and a sequel to "The Paragons". The events of this novel and the previous one, "Spark of the Rebellion", take place at the same time.* "It's true what they all say; justice is blind. You will give everything to me, for I'm.....your Mastermind." -Maxwell "Max" Atkins a.k.a. Mastermind Half a year after the official formation of The Paragons and Malcorchus's defeat, Herman, one of The Viper's close friends, is reaping the benefits of having saved the planet at large, obtaining renowned fame while regularly protecting his home city of Mercury Heights alongside her, Dr. Duncan Drevis, The Crawler, and Duncan's sister, Monica Drevis, a.k.a. Shocker. However, trouble soon arises after several law enforcement officers start going missing across the country before later turning up dead, resulting in police departments experiencing severe staff shortages. To make matters worse, grave-robbing incidents have started to become more prominent across the U.S., drawing the suspicion of many. The only clue ever found at the crime scenes is one word---"Mastermind"---and the culprits are now believed to be hiding out in Mercury Heights. Commissioner Marvin, the commander of the Mercury Heights Police Department, has begun looking into the case, recruiting Herman for aid as well. But for the most part, they are on their own; with The Viper, Dr. Duncan Drevis, The Crawler, and Shocker all away on a different mission in the Rusted Citadel, it now falls to Herman, Commissioner Marvin, Giorgio Carlisle, and the newly-recruited Officer Didi to bring "Mastermind" to justice and end his twisted crusade against police officers everywhere, before even more members of law enforcement perish under the might of his misguided conquest. • Cover designed by @Castiment
