In the neon-lit streets of Starr City, two unlikely heroes find themselves caught between fame and danger. Fang, the cocky parkour pro turned underground fighter, is always one step away from trouble - and always looking for the next challenge. His heart? Wild, reckless, and too big for his own good. Buster, the quiet yet calculating filmmaker, lives in the background, capturing the chaos around him, but there's more to his calm exterior than meets the eye.

When Fang gets in over his head (again), it's Buster who pulls him back, camera in hand, making sure it's all perfectly shot. But between the punches and the cameras, there's a spark that neither of them is ready to admit. They're more than just fight partners. They're something more dangerous.

As the city's shadows grow darker and enemies start closing in, they must decide if they're just making movies or if they're creating something real.All Rights Reserved

Knox (Marino Brothers Duet, #1) by TheFeveredBookaholic

Revenge. I'm familiar with it. You have to be when you're the firstborn son of a notorious mafia leader. Death and vengeance have been the very foundations of my life. So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*

Sweet Spot by TheFeveredBookaholic

Sierra Lancaster has had an agonizingly mediocre life. She grew up in a happy home, made loyal friends, graduated college, and is now pursuing her dream of running her own bakery. Boring, right? A story like this wouldn't be one for the books. At least not until you bring a hot neighbour into the mix. A tall, brooding, shredded (like, wash your clothes on those abs shredded), and wildly successful sports agent. Interested yet? It gets better. Said neighbour isn't just a rando, but Sierra's childhood nemesis that made her formerly chubby days a living hell. Now we're talking, aren't we? Holden Rey has always been the golden boy. Holden...golden...you following? You'd think the bitchy universe would do its job and throw some karma his way but to no avail. Not only has he got it all, but he knows it too. He also still has it out for Sierra and resumes being a jack-ass of epic proportions (and his ass ain't his only epic proportion) as soon as he realizes who the new girl next door is. It's the same old story with these two except this time, there's unwilling attraction and sexual tension underneath all the hate. Is it just lust or does the bitchy universe actually have a plan? So maybe this story is one for the books after all. *A hilarious, enemies-to-lovers, romantic standalone. Rated 18+ due to mature content. All rights reserved to TheFeveredBookaholic.*

POLAROID LOVE by EmmanuelAballe6

Attending every concert in hopes of being noticed, fate finally intervenes one night when Sunoo accidentally collides with a disguised Sunghoon on a quiet street.

When past enemies resurface, Sunghoon is forced to disappear, cutting off all contact with Sunoo to protect him. However, Sunoo refuses to be left behind. As he searches for answers, he uncovers the dark truth about Sunghoon's past-his entanglement with a criminal organization that refuses to let him go. What follows is a desperate fight for freedom. Betrayals, gunfire, and life-threatening encounters push them to the edge. In a final attempt to save Sunoo, Sunghoon sacrifices himself, surrendering to his former captors. But Sunoo, now stronger and unwilling to lose the one person he loves most, risks everything to get him back. Through blood, loss, and impossible odds, they manage to escape-barely. But survival is not enough. Now, they must learn to live. In the end, they find peace in a small coastal town, leaving behind the past that once threatened to consume them. Sunghoon, no longer running, finally allows himself to be happy, and Sunoo, who once only dreamed of being noticed, finds himself in the only place he ever wanted to be-by Sunghoon's side. A story of fate, sacrifice, and the kind of love worth fighting for, Polaroid Love is a thrilling yet emotional journey of two souls who risk everything-not just to survive but for LOVE.

His world as he knows it is turned upside down in the most unforgivable way and now he wants vengeance. He wants to hurt the way he's been hurt. And what better target than the only girl who's ever wrecked his heart? Olivia West has no idea she's become her former best friend's latest prey but that doesn't mean she's not ready for him.

Riku underdog of lightning 2 the eclipsed core by GMGODDALABEL

The storm may have passed, but the scars it left behind have only begun to bleed. Months after the fall of the Father, the heroes of Hero High have rebuilt their world piece by piece-until the sky itself turns red. A colossal eclipse moon rises over the ruined city, casting an unholy light across the horizon. It isn't just an omen-it's a signal. Something ancient has awakened, something older than demons or gods... and it remembers the lightning that defied it. Riku returns as the reluctant hero once more-cocky, battle-worn, and still allergic to authority-joined by his brother Kaito, the newly reborn lightning vampire whose powers pulse in sync with the blood moon. Together with Fid, Byd, and the rest of Hero High's elite team-Leo, Ryan, Maya, Tricky, Lilith, Selene, Seleria, Todd, Kairo, Lea, and Yuti-they face a new cosmic threat born from the fusion of lightning and blood: The Eclipse Core, a living storm that feeds on power and memory. But the storm outside isn't their only enemy. The eclipse doesn't just change the sky-it changes them. Power surges. Shadows whisper. Old fears resurface. As loyalty fractures and legends awaken, Riku must decide whether the lightning that made him a hero will save the world again... or burn it from the inside out. And of course-between chaos, cosmic horror, and ancient vampiric gods-Riku still finds time to roast his teammates, yell at the narrator, and complain about breakfast. Because no matter how dark the sky gets- the Underdog of Lightning never stops cracking jokes.
