Delwyn of Ristead was fleeing an arranged marriage. She didn't expect to find herself in the arms of an angel.
------------
Delwyn of Ristead doesn't want to get married -- not now, and especially not to a man old enough to be her grandfather. When her father, the duke, surprises Delwyn with an arranged marriage, she runs away instead. Travelling across the border to the demon kingdom of Chthonia, she reinvents herself as Delwyn Gawer, an orphan human struggling to make ends meet. 

Amos Umbrath is failing math, and he has two options: get a tutor now or attend summer school. Either choice is embarrassing for someone who aspires to be a lawyer. When Amos meets human Delwyn at a seamstress's shop, it seems she's the answer to his problems.

He just didn't expect to fall in love.

When Delwyn's past catches up to her, she must make a decision -- stay with the angel who stole her heart or keep running.

PARADISE PARADOX (#1 PARADISE ISLAND duology) by StephRose1201

Sneaking into a campus party shouldn't lead to expulsion, should it? *** Colleges across the U.S. have been on alert because of rioters who all but rendered the American Ivy League universities extinct, after the end of the COVID pandemic in twenty-twenty-five. After their destruction, smaller subsidiaries of those Ivy Leagues have been thriving, thanks to donations and government grants. In twenty-twenty-nine, Junior student Kera Mitchell learns the hard way that it's actually a minor crime to crash a party on campus--it's an invasion of private property. At her university, Valence, there are still severe punishments in place for disrespect to any structures on site. Kera finds out that though she won't be expelled for her party-crashing, she did break a serious rule, and she'll have to pay for it. Along with the party-throwers, hot golden boy Miles, and drug-dealing douche Vick, she's given a punishment none of them expected: they're sent to an unknown, tropical island to learn how to control their erratic behaviors. Like a brainwashing vacation against violence, sex, drugs, and alcohol. Except Kera shouldn't be there--she's as docile as they come, and has never been rowdy and rebellious in her life. Wrong place, wrong time? The island has many secrets, some of which Kera and Miles will stumble upon inadvertently, and that will change the course of the rest of their lives. Will they leave the island unscathed? Will they leave it... at all? ----------- A post-pandemic, post-apocalyptic, paranormal horror novel. Please mind your triggers (gore, language, trauma, violence) Inspired by a dream I had and that I became obsessed with turning into a book.

Sebastian has always lived by the rules. As an official in the Central Zone of the City of Eternity, he processes vampires and werewolves who break the law, sending them to their deaths with reluctant efficiency. It's a job he despises but one that keeps order in the city. However, when food supplies fail to reach the supernatural zones, chaos begins to creep toward Central, threatening the fragile peace. Human leaders Aubrey and Alaric suspect revolutionists are to blame for the shortages and send Sebastian to investigate. Forced to leave the safety of Central, Sebastian is thrust into a deadly world he barely understands. Infiltrating the revolutionaries, he's given a chilling task: assassinate a powerful vampire in the Ruby District of the Eastern Zone. With the city on the verge of collapse, he must choose between his loyalty to his human leaders and the growing chaos threatening to consume everyone. Yet, his mission is complicated by a personal struggle-Sebastian's own family, his mother and brother, were turned into vampires during the first revolution that destroyed Barewood. His desire to protect them conflicts with his duty to uphold Central's rules. As tensions rise and the revolution deepens, Sebastian must navigate a path through treachery and violence, all while keeping his loved ones safe. In Blood & Honour, the fourth book in the City of Eternity series, Sebastian faces impossible choices as the city teeters on the brink of another uprising. Bound by his obligations to Central yet torn by his family's supernatural ties, he must decide whether to uphold the law or defy it-and whether duty is worth the price of blood.
