This is a summary of Book One of "Built to Live". Everything is still a work in progress, so please bear with me if my writing is a little sloppy. 
***

In a region ruled by a ruthless military dictatorship and haunted by nightly attacks from deadly creatures known as Vermin, a young Marionette, Madgie, longs for freedom beyond her suffocating confines of her existence. Desperate to break free from her routine, she and her friends secretly explore an abandoned toy warehouse, unaware that her curiosity will unravel a series of life-altering events.

Inside, Madgie stumbles upon an injured stranger being hunted by the Son of Mictlan and discovers a mysterious obsidian key capable of opening portals to unknown realms. Now entangled in a deadly cat-and-mouse chase, she is pursued by the prince who will stop at nothing to reclaim the key that belongs to his royal family.

As if being hunted weren't enough, her own people turn against her when her strange secret is exposed, suspecting her of being one of the feared Vermin. Fearing she'll be forcibly "restored" by her society, she faces the terrifying consequences of her actions. However, a second chance arrives when the compassionate son of the region's leader offers her an opportunity to join a group of flawed Marionettes, undergoing a safer and more humane process of reintegration into society.

But the key still remains in her possession, and the prince will stop at nothing to retrieve it. As their lives collide, she must navigate the thin line between survival and trust. Will the Son of Mictlan punish her for the chaos she's caused, or will an unexpected bond between them change not only her fate--but his as well?All Rights Reserved

Whispers of Nowhere by RebelDynasty

**AVAILABLE ON AMAZON** (Book One in the Whispers of Nowhere trilogy) When Gwen's father gets home late from work, it's just another typical night for the museum curator's daughter. Still, there's something strange about the artifacts he's brought home this time, something so unique that she can't help but touch them. In a blinding flash, the artifacts vanish, and a mysterious man appears in their place. Only he's not a man at all. Forneus is a daemon, an intermediary between gods and man-and the guardian of the very artifacts Gwen has just unwittingly sent back to their places of origin around the globe. Gwen doesn't have time to absorb this before a new figure emerges: Phenex, the human-personification of the legendary bird, himself. The next thing she knows, she's being whisked away from the comfort of her home into a world beyond her wildest imaginings. When she thinks things couldn't possibly get any more complicated, she's proven wrong. Because those bizarre artifacts? They were protective seals to a place called Nowhere; a prison realm created by the gods to contain all of the malevolent forces Gwen has only heard about in bedtime stories. Now those very same forces are on the rampage, intent on revenge against the gods whom imprisoned them-and they don't care who else gets hurt along the way. Possessing innate powers she can't even begin to understand, it is up to Gwen and her two mysterious allies to reclaim the lost artifacts before someone far more sinister does...

My Feral by dearest-queerest-nux

It's the Max and Nux au that no one asked for. But, I write what I want! Anyway, this au is set in this time period because I am a lazy writer. So, Max is a doctor at his local hospital, pushing 31 with a habit of grunting in response to questions, and a bum leg that he can't seem to get rid of. Max is kind of a drifter, and doesn't usually settle down for long. But, after losing his wife and child a couple years ago, he's been in the same place for two years. Small town life is kind of boring, though. Max is doing what he loves, though, helping people. Then, this racecar driver named Nux ends up in his ER, smashed up from a bad car accident. Nux is....different. With buzzed-down black hair, robin's egg blue eyes, wicked scarification around his mouth and chest, he throws Max for a loop. Nux is a smart-mouthed, doe-eyed 26 year old that may or may not have a death wish. Just as Max is getting used to be getting called "Maxy," and "my feral," The rest of Nux's family shows up. Slit is Nux's older brother, and a single father raising his daughter, Furiosa. Furi for short. She is 8 years old, and missing an arm. It doesn't bother her, though, and her prosthetic arm is wicked it it's construction and functionality. And, even though Max hasn't been with anyone-male or female-since his wife passed, he finds himself liking Nux. And, Slit is another matter altogether. Max grew up around him, and had treated him a lot for various broken bones. But, even though Slit has these crazy scars on his face, and refers to things as "shiny and chrome" a lot, he knows what is going on. He sees and knows all, as he likes to remind the two younger men. And if Max ends up hurting Nux, then Slit and Furi will have him for breakfast. Max can't help but wonder what he's gotten himself into, but he doesn't mind. It's a nice sort of crazy, being around this ragtag group of people.

Arthrogonian Paragon Alexis Marnozal has finally found a little slice of heaven. Her mother's plan worked perfectly, and the arthrogon race was saved. Now Alexis can live a normal life at last. At least, that's what she'd hoped. The reality is not so simple. Safe Haven is no 5-star getaway, and things only seem to be getting worse. Xirxine is under pressure to provide protection to the citizens, and in order to do so, they've decided to create teams compiled of the most powerful members of Safe Haven's society. Unfortunately for Alexis, she's on their candidate shortlist. Faced with the option of whether to live a life of peace and freedom from responsibility versus stepping fully into the world of war, Alexis must make a choice: reject or protect? On the other side of the coin... Xirxine International S.A.F.E. Subject V-111 (codenamed "Veronika") has fit perfectly with the Saved's offensive scheme. Her first Purge was carried out without a hitch, and she has already made a name for herself among the other Crusaders as the awe-inspiring "Devourer". However, her next assignment will prove far more difficult than the last. Her target is a member of Cthulhu's Faithful: the one called "Syha'h", once known as the infamous "Queen of Crime". And as if this weren't challenging enough, Xirxine has added Veronika to their "Most Wanted" watchlist and dispatched their newest Protector Force team to apprehend her. In order to fulfill the will of the Guiding Light, Veronika must overcome the greatest adversity she's ever faced. Two Sisters of two Worthy have been set on a collision course... and such a collision is bound to yield spectacular results.

To make matter worse one of them is 19 years old human girl who seems to be the first one in years not to show any respect for him...

Forced to trust those she was taught to never trust, Hannah has to face a completely new life in the werewolf pack ruled by forceful Alpha Blackwood.

Love how the story is unfolding after each chapter" Review by @simrangharge, Twirling pages (The Review book) THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK AND I HOPE YOU ALL WILL HAVE AS MUCH FUN READING IT AS I HAD WRITING IT :) THERE ARE SOME HEAVY TOPICS MENTIONED (like rape and child abuse).

Open for Negotiation by fireheather

He watched as her eyes skimmed over his dark eyes and black hair with barely a reaction. He felt his pride twinge a bit so he went further. Lifting his hands, he let the blood drip from them. Her eyes widened slightly and her chin rose. She looked at his hands then back at him. His dark eyes gleamed in a challenge. "You've not harmed me or mine, faery." She spoke out loud. "Blood does not scare me and neither do you. Keep your dog on its leash." Then she turned and calmly walked back inside. Intrigued now, he went to the window of the house and watched as she reassured her mother that the dog was gone "I'll see you tonight, reckless child." He promised softly. **** Marcus felt himself beginning to wake and struggled to stay in the dream. But it was no use. His eyes opened and he released the pillow his hand was gripping. It was the same one that she had laid her head on every night. His head went into the pillow heavily for a moment, breathing in her faint scent. He hated and treasured dreams like that with equal fervor. He rolled over on his back and stared at the ceiling. It had been decades since she'd been forced to break that promise. He lifted his hand and touched the ring that had been her last gift. It had been decades, but it was yesterday. ***I did not skimp on the steamy scenes so consider yourselves warned ok? There are also a few violent scenes that I'll try to remember to put a warning before so you'll have a heads up. Any of the pictures/artwork were found online so I reserve no rights to those just the story. But I do reserve all rights to the story. This story runs concurrently with "Bloody Desire" and "All Roads Lead to Rome" Awesome new book cover is courtesy of @ScarlettOlivier. She's awesome. Check her stuff out.

Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM) by avaseofpeonies

A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.
