Aurian Koch hasn't been doing too well lately. He traded in his last two goats for a marriage license, and his last chicken for three bottles of brandy--one of which his wife has already consumed.
The person who feels worst about his financial state, however, is Aurian's new wife--the rangy and unapologetically mean Evinanjin. She had no idea things were as bad as all that. When the Elected Lord of the Borderlands suddenly dies, and his supposed murderer falls into her hands, Jin sees a chance to make things right with her husband--a chance that involves thievery, bloodshed, and possibly exhuming a corpse.
That's Jin's sort of chance.

The Heart of the Sea- A supernatural thriller
When Talia Peterson returns to Forks to live with her grandfather after her father's death, she thinks she's running from grief. She finds something far worse: the beach is bleeding girls who all share the same carved sigil-a four‑wave mark Talia recognizes from her own father's funeral. As the bodies stack up, Talia's fragmented memories begin to stitch themselves back together and reveal a bloodline she didn't choose: the Petersons were the wardens between human law and ancient power. Jason Quill, a quiet protector with storm-grey eyes, claims he will keep her safe. Kyle Howling Moon, a dangerous local with a wound in his past, will do anything to bring an ancient sea-spirit back. Allies become suspects, and a ritual timeline ticks down as loyalties fracture. Talia must decide which side she is on-her bloodline, the boy who won't let her go, or the Great Spirit who will stop at nothing to reclaim what he believes is his. -------- most impressive rankings: #83 in dark romance #14 in Native AmericanComplete

I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed.

Mine , Life, Squared
Wendy wakes up one day in a vast field, lush with greenery and flower beds as far as the eye can see. This was, however, surreptitiously interrupted by a similarly vast ocean. This irritated her, but not as much as being confused as to why she woke up in the middle of a field in the first place. The sheep grazing lazily next to her didn't seem to want to help answer that question either. It just ate and bleated. The Azalias in particular caught its attention. To find out the reason she woke up next to a sheep in a field next to the ocean, Wendy must journey far and wide. But first, she needs tools for the journey. And that meant having to build a whole village to do just that.Complete
