But as he chases his prey across the stars, he realizes they are both pawns in a shadowy chess game that shakes kingdoms, divides empires, and threatens civilization everywhere. And if he is to uncover the mystery and expose the conspiracy he must confront-and embrace-the darkest elements of the galaxy and throw himself and everyone he loves into the line of fire.

The Professor's Girl by AmourMio22

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.

Serial Hearts by 0authorunknown0

In a world where reality is programmed and freedom is just a line of code, Nova Kade was never meant to exist. Branded with a serial number and confined to District 7, she begins to see things no one else can - flickers in the air, glitches in time, and a voice whispering that the world isn't real. When she unlocks a hidden file buried deep in the Dominion system, Nova becomes a target. Labeled an anomaly. Hunted by the same government that designed her world. But she's not alone. Jace Reign - an ex-Enforcer with a past full of shadows - has been watching her. Waiting. Protecting her from the inside. Together, they run. From the system. From their pasts. From a secret society that controls everything through a virtual illusion called V1SION. But rebellion isn't just survival. It's falling in love where love is forbidden. And it's choosing to fight when the whole world wants you erased.

Ember Manchester has it all. She's beautiful, she's rolling in money, and she has a job that she loves. Ember is one of the most renowned computer hackers in the world: respected, sought out by clients across the globe, and the absolute best at what she does. But she wants more, so when she's hired by a mysterious client for a job unlike any other, she springs at the chance. She's been tasked with a near impossible job: hack into a secure government agency, take down their firewall, and steal all of their money. After a job well done, her mysterious client reveals himself as Rylan Ford: a smug, arrogant, and oh so handsome man who simultaneously draws her in and gets under her skin. He reveals that she was hired as a test of her abilities. Wanting to see if she was as good as her reputation suggests, Ember passed his test with flying colors. He then offers her a job: he needs her help running a firm of hackers that take jobs all across the world. Initially reluctant to take the job, Ember finally agrees. Everything is going well until an old associate of hers materializes out of the past, blackmailing her for money and threatening her life. Unknown to Ember, however, Rylan also harbors a dark past, and his demons are much worse than Ember's. Meanwhile, Ember finds herself falling in love with Rylan, who underneath his smug exterior is not much different than herself. When both of their dark pasts threaten to reveal themselves, will their relationship survive? And more importantly, will they?

In a world where every move could be her last, Kitty faces the ultimate question: can she stay in control long enough to save the missing, or will she too fall victim to the shadows?

Project NOVA by Elagomezv

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.

Room 19 by JasmineThayer

When Nova Simmons, a bright young nurse, begins her first night shift at White Wing Mental Institution, she's ready to prove herself. The hospital's halls are quiet - too quiet - and the staff seem tense, as if holding back something they're afraid to speak of. Then she hears it. A voice. A whisper. A cry for help. It's coming from Room 19. But according to everyone who works there - Room 19 doesn't exist. Drawn by compassion and an unshakable sense of déjà vu, Nova defies the warnings. What she finds inside changes everything: a pale, malnourished man sitting in the corner, trembling and forgotten. His name is Sawyer Addams - and the moment she looks into his haunted blue eyes, something in her memory stirs. Why does he look familiar? Why does the name Addams feel like a missing piece of her own past? And why does the head nurse, Willow Adams, seem to know more than she's willing to say? With the help of her new friend Journee, Nova begins to uncover the institution's darkest secrets - twisted experiments, vanished doctors, and the truth about her own father's role in what happened behind White Wing's locked doors. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes: some rooms were never meant to be opened. And some patients were never meant to be found. Can Nova save the man in Room 19 before the madness that built White Wing consumes her too? Or will she discover that she's been part of the experiment all along?

"Mm look at yourself baby, you look so pretty for me right now" Nova said breathlessly while going even faster as she curled her fingers in me I started to feel the pressure build in me as I got the familiar feeling in me that I was about to pee "F-Fuck Nova wait" I said leaning my hand back in attempt to slow her down Hearing people chatter outside the hall I got nervous at the thought of being caught Nova grabbed my neck leaning me against her with her fingers still in me as she guided us into a stall and locked the door "We're not stopping till you cum for me Solene" she muttered out with a look of pure lust in her eyes as she covered my mouth Fuck me -------------------------------------------------------- Solene never really goes out; it's always work and home day after day.
