Relic Hunters: The Apex Predators by JordanGales

Dante's job is to subdue contractors and recover illegal relics. He is the only contractor capable of bonding with five relics. As the youngest member of the famed legends, Dante was believed to have a perfect life. However, everything changed in an instant, shattering his ideal existence. For the first time, he found himself powerless. Once hailed as both a hero and a prodigy, Dante had been reduced to nothing more than a ruthless hunter. Although his team's efficiency and recovery rate are outstanding, their brutal methods often overshadow their achievements. Dante is no longer seen as the prodigy of the legends. His comrades view him as a loyal guard dog, while his enemies see him as a ruthless bloodhound. The Apex Institute is where teenagers train to become future leaders. Thalia and her friends are graduating this year. Thalia possesses a unique bloodline trait that allows her to command the weather; she can invoke storms simply by concentrating. She wants nothing more than to use her powers to help the relic retrieval task force. Apex has created special task forces, such as the Legends, to prevent relics from being used to cause harm. Thalia has always admired the Legends, and their dedication to justice is the primary reason she enrolled in the institute. The Legends are known as the champions of justice because they maintain order within the safety zone. Thalia desperately wants to change this twisted world and dreams of being a hero like her aunt (Tia) to save their crumbling world. ------------------------------------------------------------------ What to expect?

Velicious Book One (un-editied) by SheliqueLize

Dante leans in, his cool breath against my cheek. “Acceptance is the first step to overcoming misfortune.” Misfortune was a light way of describing my current life. “I got a proposition for you,” he says as I felt a shiver race down my back. I looked at him curiously, “And that would be?” Dante looked over at the far a corner where there were a few classic 1940’s wooden pool tables. “I win, you unwind yourself through whatever measures.” I withheld a smartass response, “And if I win?” “Your misfortune will be no more,” Studying Dante I murmured. “How can you guarantee such a thing?” “Because I’m awesome,” Dante says with a smirk. A handsome half smile, that made me want to press my lips against his. Ugh, I’m dancing with the devil. “Or, are you not so familiar with the game?” “If I choose not to play it’s because one, I have a date and secondly I just don’t want too.” “Or,” adds Dante. “There’s a tiny, mental acquisitiveness that you can’t get rid of when it comes to me, and it makes you want to avoid whatever this is. At all costs." Ding, ding, ding! Dante hit the jackpot. I refused to let it show that he was right on target. Dante continued, starring deeply into my brown eyes. "However, you may simply suck at pool and don’t want to be shamed.” I tried my best to hold in every emotion that was bubbling inside of me. It was a mix of excitement and fear. Hot and cold. Night and day. Such contradictions I can’t think straight. Struggling to hold in my composure, I said meandering pass Dante and towards the pool tables. “I’m a goddess,” He said following behind me, “Cocky little vixen.” “Not cocky,” I said over my shoulders. “I told you, I'm a goddess when it comes to pool. I'm untouchable.” - - - - - Copyright 2014 Shelique Lize and I mean that legally. Cover Art Work is Alan Shaprio This book is rated PG-13, however there maybe strong language and some sexual scenes!

Hired By A Mafia Boss by ThelmaAkosa

⚠️⚠️I apologize beforehand. This story is under subtle reconstruction, so please do not get confused if you see changes midway. It's still the most beautiful love story you'd read, so please give it a chance.⚠️⚠️ "What in the world, kid?" The roar erupted from the sleek Lamborghini as its owner, a man who could easily pass for a Greek deity, emerged from the luxurious vehicle. Scratch that, he practically embodied one. But wait, did he just refer to me as a 'kid'? For heaven's sake, I'm 23! "Are you out of your damn mind?" I snapped back to reality as his furious voice pierced through. Despite his mesmerizing Italian accent, my anger still simmered. How could he? After nearly running me over, he had the audacity to label me a child and throw in some profanity. In response, I resorted to the one skill I had mastered - I stuck my tongue out at him before sauntering away. What an insufferable jerk. ***** Allow me to introduce Ava Hilton, a seemingly ordinary 23-year-old who could easily be mistaken for a typical teenager any day, any time. A young woman from humble beginnings, leading an unassuming life. Now, meet Dreidan Vaughn, aged 30, the nation's wealthiest billionaire and the formidable head of the Italian Mafia. Feared and revered by all, he bore the moniker of the continent's ultimate enforcer. What unfolds when, in the midst of a frantic pursuit of a $20 million contract, he almost knocks down Ava, a woman he hastily judged as a child? Instead of receiving an anticipated apology, she cheekily stuck her tongue out at him and walked away. Oh he was going to make her pay one way or another! That moment marked the inception of a love story unlike any other. A COMPULSORY READ!... 19/11/19 ~ Ranked 24th in romance out of a staggering 1.52 MILLION books 💃 28/11/19 ~ Soared to 10th place in the mafia genre out of 34.5k books.

My Academic Obsession by choxolettee

I hated her. (But, damn, I still do... and that annoys the hell out of me.) Dante Steele-let's just say he doesn't come from the best background and is infamous for his arrogance and intelligence (which, honestly, might shock people at first). He knows he's the best, and he makes sure everyone else knows it too. A normal (or maybe not so normal) 21-year-old senior in college, Dante lives for the hate he feels for the one girl he can't stand... but also secretly wants to make her his. Vera Knight-a fierce 20-year-old junior who's been through a never-ending battle of ups and downs. She's kind, compassionate, and always willing to help, but she knows when to stand her ground and be rude to those who deserve it. She can't STAND the presence of him. Anywhere she goes, there he is. She has no idea how he manages to always be around, but after being academic rivals for God knows how long, he's still convinced he's better than her. And to top it off, he knows it.

"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes.
