In the underbelly of Drexen, where chrome glints brighter than loyalty and every upgrade comes at a cost, Onyx Kaelthorne is a cybernetic assassin built for precision, silence, and destruction. Modified, weaponized, and emotionally walled off, she's survived by staying untouchable-until a mission forces her to confront the one thing she can't outmaneuver: connection.
Gauge Ashveil is a rogue operative with a past as jagged as the scars he hides. Territorial, possessive, and dangerously loyal, he's drawn to Onyx not just for her skill-but for the pain she won't show. As they navigate black-market tech, brutal missions, and the ghosts of their own enhancements, their bond deepens into something volatile and magnetic.
But Drexen doesn't forgive softness. And when Onyx begins to unravel beneath the weight of her upgrades and the memories they trigger, Gauge's protectiveness turns feral. He's not just watching her back-he's staking a claim.
Together, they'll face a mission that demands more than firepower. It demands trust. Vulnerability. And the kind of love that could either heal them-or destroy everything they've fought to survive.

The Circuit Between Us
In the shadows of a crumbling world, humans and cyborgs are locked in a brutal tech war - steel versus skin, code versus chaos. Nova, a sharp-tongued hacker raised to hate machines, has one mission: breach the neural mainframe and end the cyborg threat forever. Cipher, a lethal war-grade cyborg, was built to eliminate human resistance - until he hesitates. Until he sees her. They were never meant to meet, much less fall in love. Now, hunted by both sides, their forbidden bond is the glitch that could destroy everything. To love each other, they must betray their kind. To survive, they must rewrite the future. To win... they must burn the world down.

Project NOVA
No one knows her name. No one remembers the program. Fifteen years ago, Project NOVA burned itself out of existence - a covert military experiment designed to create perfect human operatives through psychological conditioning, sensory deprivation, and combat reprogramming. Every file was erased. Every scientist buried. Every subject presumed dead. But one lived. Now, the woman known only as Nova moves through the world like a ghost - a silent weapon-for-hire with no allegiance, no past, and no record. Her efficiency is legendary; her detachment, absolute. To most agencies, she's an asset. To others, a rumor. When a classified threat surfaces - something tied to the same black-ops labs that built her - the elite strike team ONYX is ordered to bring her in as a consultant. The men of ONYX - Commander Asher Vale, sharpshooter Reid Hawthorne, tech specialist Kade Mercer, and demolitions expert Silas Ward - have spent years surviving on trust, instinct, and brotherhood. They follow orders. They don't take risks. And they definitely don't work with outsiders. Until she walks in. Nova becomes the team's greatest weapon and deepest fracture. Her presence ignites suspicion, desire, and a quiet terror that none of them can name - because the more they uncover about her, the clearer it becomes: Project NOVA never ended. It evolved. It's watching. And she isn't just their newest operative. She's the reason they were assembled in the first place.

But when Alyx, now a homeless survivor with a traumatic past, stumbles upon their hideout, secrets begin to unravel. As the group fights to fend off relentless robotic enemies, they must confront their own fears-betrayal, vulnerability, abandonment, and happiness-while uncovering the shocking truth behind the AI apocalypse. Can they trust each other in a world where loyalty is a luxury, and survival is the only option? Join Onyx, Alyx, Bryce, and Liv in this gripping story of resilience, identity, and the unbreakable bonds of family, as they race against time to reclaim their lives and confront the darkness within.

PROTOTYPE ZERO

Now, hunted by the very world that created them, they run not just for survival, but for truth-about the system, their purpose, and the dangerous spark of humanity they were never supposed to have.

The Professor's Girl
Nova Quinn doesn't kneel for anyone. At eighteen, she's inherited grief, money, and a one-way ticket to Hellridge College-a place known for its elite programs, brutal professors, and whispered warnings. She arrives in black leather, messy bun, and sacred rage. She doesn't want friends. She doesn't want love. She wants silence. But the Vale Brothers don't leave things silent. Lucien, Ronan, and Kai are professors with reputations carved in fear. Sadists in suits. They speak to no one. Look at no one. Until Nova blasts music in their lecture hall and refuses to shrink. She's chaos wrapped in ink and pain. They're control wrapped in dominance and ritual. And when she's hurt, they don't ask questions. They act. What begins as protection turns into obsession. What starts as punishment becomes sacred. Nova doesn't submit easily-but when she does, it's not just to one man. It's to all three. The Professors' Girl is a dark, emotionally charged BDSM standalone about grief, power, and the kind of love that doesn't ask-it takes. Three sadist professors. One leather-clad rebel. This isn't a romance. It's a reckoning.Complete
