Breathe [mature romance] - PREVIEW ONLY by elsetterby

This is a seven-chapter preview of a full-length published novel. Buy links: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XQYVSVV Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/breathe-76 iBooks: https://itun.es/us/d_Yajb.l Check out the companion novel, Whisper! Free on Wattpad. ********** A GOOD MAN, FALLING APART Small town police officer Simon Labelle repressed his attraction to sexy shopgirl Leona Chaisty for years. He's good at controlling his feelings--or he used to be, before the bombing that he can't solve, that he should have prevented. Now, after a chance encounter with Leona at the lake, Simon can't get her out of his head. All those high school fantasies roar to life. A BAD GIRL, WISHING FOR MORE Leona is drawn to the intensity in Simon's pretty-boy blue eyes, but he's a good man, and she's not just hopelessly kinky--she'll never know how to love. Still, unlike everyone else, Simon acts like she might actually have a heart. The more time they spend together, the more she wishes he were right. A CHALLENGE NEITHER CAN RESIST After a second unsolved case pulls them together, their sexual chemistry rattles them both, and hints at an unsettling fetish that Simon struggles to suppress. Leona pushes Simon to decide what he wants--whether to dominate, submit, or some mix of both--while Simon, already falling for his dream girl, finally gets her to admit that she's lonely. Each challenges the other to reveal more, to cede control, to be vulnerable. But they're both more fragile than they appear. It's only a matter of time before one pushes too hard, and the other breaks. ********** Trigger warnings for depression, suicidal ideation, and possibly alcoholism. Significant child abuse (neglect only) is also part of a character's backstory. There is gender-bending, femdom, and a pretty scary control-based fetish. There is also off-screen violence and death, and mild on-screen violence.

Into the Mountains: A Branching Path Story by AnnaQuin07

Your life has reached a point of daily monotony that is crushing your spirit slowly. Every morning, it's the same thing: wake up, brush teeth, shower, dress, eat toast, go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to sleep. Repeat. Then one morning you get a pamphlet in the mail: an advertisement for a hiking trail in the mountains of Tennessee. Your spirit jumps at a chance to do something different and maybe to discover something important about yourself. Will your decisions lead to a victorious conquest of the mountains? Or will they make you another cautionary tale whispered to naughty children by their parents? [A branching path story is written in second person, so you will read and take action as the main character in this story. Your story will branch off into different plots based on your responses. This is the first time I have done something like this, but I'm really excited to share it with you!]

The Wolf Secret Book 1 : Secrets of the Forest by Sarah9849233

"What lies in those woods? Why is it that people go missing? Why are the bodies that are found always mauled by animals unseen? I will tell you something is wrong. The beasts that took the lives of your friends and family still stalk the night out there. Monsters. They must be stopped at any cost." "But why would you do such a thing? Father, you rant on and on about these monsters and what they have done to scar your face and kill your friends. In the end, who is the monster? This child that you have kidnapped and tortured after killing his mother before his very eyes, or you, the man who holds a gun to his own daughter and wife's face?"

*Sequel to Letters* "Where the hell am I?" "Welcome to the 21st century Ms. Peterson." Pausing, Willow looked around at her surroundings slowly. "Where is he? I have to complete my mission."

9,000 Petals of Insanity by xphlkszexgrmlte

A giant, radioactive octopus roaming through the sea, terrorizing the native population... eight chickens stolen from a locked and securely fastened coop... a lizard-like humanoid, supposedly an extraterrestrial life-form, lurking through town... a poisonous dinosaur slaughtering cattle of farmers... these events appear impossible, and yet they are happening in the New Zealand of 1936. Are these events connected to a series of mysterious letters delivered to the police, written in an unknown language? Are these events connected to a series of seemingly impossible and supernatural serial murders striking fear in the hearts of residents? Or are these events the harbinger of the biblical doomsday of Armageddon? Famed detective Włosclaupeyn Dusang and his friend, biologist Dr. Ephraim St Castle, have to bring logical rationality to these events as they face off against perhaps one of the most devilishly clever criminals in all of history.

OF FROST AND FLAMES ❅SIMON GHOST RILEY❅ by C_THE_SPRINKLE

When a single scratch means death, it is paramount you find someone to watch your back. Unfortunately, survivor Caroline Wolfe has never had this privilege. When the plague began to ravage the world as she knew it, she was left to fend for herself, forcing her into positions she never wished upon anyone. The plague broke out five years before, killing over 90% of the world's population. It turned those she thought she could trust into mindless, undead, monsters and creatures controlled by survival, not loyalty. Caroline was lucky to have made it out of Ottawa alive, thanks to the help of her childhood in the Yukon, learning how to fight and survive with more traditional weapons. When she finds herself trapped within the confines of an abandoned apartment complex in what was Caledon, she has to make a choice. Either face the undead alone or help the mysterious, accented, skull faced man she finds within and tether herself to him for the foreseeable future. What she isn't expecting is to find someone she can lean on and, even, learn to love. The idea of a cure and the promise of answers loom on the horizon, but the question is if she can find it in herself to trust another. .｡❅*⋆⍋*∞*｡*∞*⍋⋆*❅｡. This is a Call Of Duty fanfiction, but it does not follow the plot of the games. I do not own any art used, nor the characters of Ghost, Soap, Price and Gaz. I do own Caroline Amki, Cleo, Pearl and the two Scott's. This is the first book in the Pure Canadian Chaos duology.
