Lorelai Ruse, a teenager in the technology driven Society called TECH, finds that she has the Gene, a genetic malfunction. She has spent her whole life with only one mission: to keep the Gene hidden for fear that what curses through her blood will only result in her death. Lorelai believed that she could live with the secret behind closed doors, but just as she starts to integrate herself into the Society, her father gets promoted as a TECH Official and realizes that there is no way she can keep this deadly secret hidden much longer.
She fights to stay "normal" and unnoticed by the leader, but as the Gene tries its hardest to override the system programmed in her very being, pain, terror, and fear awaken to torment her. The secrets she knows that could never get released to the leader were now threatening to be released. When she thinks that there is nothing to do but give up, Lorelai finds out that the minority group, the Lessers, have started to revolt against the High Official and are ultimately creating problems in the High Official's order. She believed that the secret would be safe behind locked doors, but a series of sudden events push her to find out the truth; why does she have it and why does it pose such a threat against the High Official? With these questions on her mind, she seeks the Lessers out to demand why she stands out from the rest.
And while the High Official starts to put the pieces together, Lorelai quickly finds out that Lessers have the answers that she wished to have her whole life.
But, what Lorelai doesn't know and is soon to find out, is that they also have the ones she never knew she could search for.

The Numbered
Imagine the second you're born, a consultant removes you from your mother's grasp and runs a battery of genetic and physiological tests on you. Thirty minutes later they give you a score out of one hundred which denotes your level of perfection. If your score is above eighty and you work hard to maintain that score you will have a charmed life; well fed, well-rewarded, spoiled. But fall below eighty and you're labelled Flawed, and life will not be so kind. Hannah is adopted by a Flawed family when her birth parents choose their social standing over their daughter and endures a life of struggle, hunger and service. One day Hannah is escorted to the regional government office and told that the Consultant who delivered her, who labelled her Flawed got it wrong! Now, she is being relocated back to her birth parents, to live as one of the Ninety-Five- all medically and legally judged as perfect.

✔️ The Unwanted Bride (Book One) **UNDER EDITING**
In a society rebuilt from the ashes of the Great War perfection isn't just expected-it's law. Every woman turning 20 is entered into The Marriage Process: a government-mandated matchmaking ritual where four men are hand selected by the government to ensure that their children would be perfect in the new society. It's a tradition that has never failed-until the arrival of Juniper Burks. Labeled a government mistake since birth and abandoned by her own parents, Juniper never thought she'd have to partake in the government-issued love game. She believed that since she was unwanted by the people who were suppose to love her unconditionally, so much so that they left, she would simple be exempt from participation. After all, no one would want her failed genes reproducing in society bent on becoming the strongest once again. But Juniper is dead wrong. Not only is she brought into the process, she is assigned the top four, most elite men to win her hand. Is this her redemption... or has the government issued another experiment bound to fail?

Lunar Virus ✔️
Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
