After spending ten years in prison, all Nolan wants to do is live a quiet life in the mountains of Colorado. However, when Nolan is called upon by the Central Intelligence Agency to investigate rumors of terrorist activity, what he uncovers is more than he ever bargained for. Old enemies are planning to disrupt the way society functions and have created a system that seems unbreakable.

[Obsolete] Undead Won't Have This World by Blaxk77

[This story is an older version of {Into the Madness} and won't be updated] Do you like zombies ? I do. I love all kind of thing related to zombies. Be it films, series, books or video games. But dear God, THAT DOESN'T MEAN I WANTED TO BE TRANSMIGRATED IN THE MIDDLE OF A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE !!!!! Follow a hot-blooded French in his struggle in a zombie apocalypse. With a ridiculously OP system, he will create his own army and try to resist to an continuously evolving infection. (The Description is shit, but I'll change it later)

The Silent Veil by CyberPixy

Their job was never easy, but at least assassination was comfortable for Lanada. Now Sam Bones from the STAR agency has evidence of their crimes. The agency isn't seeking punitive justice though; Lanada is wanted for their specific skillset in silent, tactical murder. While uncovering a corporate and government conspiracy, Lanada and Sam's rocky partnership grows stronger as they fight under the STAR agency, forced to face the ethics of their careers and the consequences of their decisions. After a chilling discovery about their war with a co-opted political movement, they must make a choice between their career comforts, or risking it all to reconcile with their pasts-both packed full with death. What to expect: Aliens in a grounded, realistic world; no space. A universe not reliant on capitalism, where stateless societies are the norm. Military escapades criticizing state control and its corrupting nature. Nonbinary protagonist who's sorting out some personal issues. Their gay best friend. The world's shittest dad, but the world's best STAR agent. This book is finished, has been edited several times, beta read, and is basically ready for querying. I'm holding off until I get some more feedback, and do some more editing.

Storm Of Pain by fictionlover20040228

Have you ever seen your life flash before your eyes? Seen all the good memories with you and your friends and loved ones just pass in a few split seconds before the moment comes where you know you'll die? Where you determine if it's going to be a quick or slow and painful death? Well then, same. I risk my life on a daily bases saving others, strangers, kids, families, anyone my team and I can help ranging from terrorist attacks to bombs to pretty much anything. The training that I received a few years ago allows me to do that, it allows me to be the best person that I can be, if I could go back to the day I joined the military I wouldn't change a single thing; the only thing I would've changed in my journey is to have looked after her better. To have kept her safe. But life had other plans with both of us... ***** All ideas in this book are thought of by me. Nothing has been based of another book. If something is the same as another's, it purely coincidental. *Don't copy from my book *Don't report my book because of a few violent scenes *My book is copyrighted.

Mr. Presidential || Barron Trump by WhippedCreamOnMyAss

"I can find out exactly where you are in seconds," he said, voice smooth through the phone. "Oh yeah?" she shot back. "Prove it." "3201 Wilson Ave." ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ Nora Langley has no patience for entitled rich boys-especially not Bailey Thompson, the arrogant, untouchable son of the President. But when her political science professor pairs them together for a high-stakes competition-one that could land them a chance to speak before the Senate-she's left with no choice but to work alongside him. Bailey is everything she despises: privileged, infuriatingly smug, and so used to winning that failure isn't even in his vocabulary. But as late-night study sessions turn into charged debates and stolen glances, Nora begins to see cracks in the perfect image he projects to the world. There's more to Bailey than the headlines, more than the carefully curated smiles and the weight of his father's legacy. Still, getting close to him is dangerous. There are secrets lurking beneath the surface-secrets that could change everything. And with the whole country watching, neither of them can afford to lose. Slow-burn tension, enemies-to-lovers angst, dark romance, and political intrigue collide in a story about ambition, power, and the fine line between hate and something far more dangerous. ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ Updates every Tuesday and Friday!

Destined to take over her father's company and dealing with strange new abilities that no one can know about, her world is spiraling out of control. Kaiyn is the enigmatic commander of an army of warriors bred for battle in an ancient war. Kaiyn needs Anais, but the secrets he's keeping could destroy them both. As he prepares her for a war she never knew about, they both develop feelings neither of them expected. But... In the coldness of space, love is a liability. The war between two ancient species is about to spill over into colonized space and both need her to secure their victory. One wants her heart and the other wants her soul. Whichever is claimed, the other will break. When the lies and manipulations become too much for her to handle, will she rise above the pressure or become something even more terrifying than the creatures they're fighting? This book, and the sequel, is available for purchase on Amazon.

THE RECRUIT by IM0rtalS0ldi3r

BOOK 01 They were all fighters, but what distinguishes a warrior from a killer is what they fight for. Bred for combat. Built for war. Republic Commandos braved the impossible. So, when they were ordered to turn their sights to the Jedi, most did with unflinching loyalty. What will they do now that the Republic no longer exists? In the Outer Rim, on an uninhabited planet their fate lies in their hands. Are the commandos traitors to the Empire or are their actions justified by fighting for freedom? And now a gladiator has found her way into the ranks of the Grand Imperial army. Forged in the fire of death she has no quarrel with taking life. What purpose is there when she has nothing left to fight for? - Rated Mature for blood, intense violence, & grisly images.

Rich People Problems by treeziaa

As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.

Second No More, a novel by imaginationgirl35

I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her.
