Leopold von zu Hohenberg (Leo), a soldier of the Austerreich Empire, is stationed at the remote Markstern Outpost on the Empire-Federation border. Far from the stifling pretensions of the Imperial noble court, he enjoys a quiet camaraderie with his squad. However, when an unidentified transport carrying secretive machinery arrives, his suspicions are piqued. As tensions rise and whispers of war resurface, Leo uncovers the Empire's experimental weapon, Chrysallis, and the devastating stakes it entails. Caught between duty, his personal ideals, and the looming threat of full-scale conflict, Leo must navigate loyalty, deception, and the price of peace in a galaxy on the edge.
"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦
Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius IQ and a heart of gold. She hacks her way into virtual systems on a search for her mother.
Unfortunately for her, she has hacked into the wrong database. She hacked into the database of the notorious mob boss, Santino "Saint" Venturi.
Saint is the opposite of his name. He's known for his ruthlessness. As a mob boss to a mafia, he learned to eat or be eaten. When Reyna stumbles upon his database, a plan dispersed into his mind. He's going to take her.

"I don't share, angel."
"He's a friend," she found herself saying. Dante was too busy staring at her to notice the fiery glare in Saint's eyes. She was mentally praying that Dante would just look away.
His fingers trailed up her leg before his hand latched onto her sex. He held her there while a small gasp left her lips. "I will fuck you on this table if he doesn't stop looking at what belongs to me."
