When Alexys discovers his fiance's betrayal, he stalks the streets to find a night of sinful debauchery, ending up at the famed Fantasy Palace. But the resulting adventure will take him on a journey that will change his life!

Sean Gillan's passion lies in his education, his work values as a part-time cashier at the family-owned general store, and helping out his grandparents at a family farm while being a faithful member of his church. He has little time for any frivolous and is certain that all he needs is in his small town of Central Georgia, despite his citified parents and siblings citing that he needs to get a life and get some air in his lungs. Sean has little time for anything other than what he needs, so much so that he lands in the hospital after passing out during his post-graduation party at church. Fearing that he was in danger of burning out and knowing that he wasn't going to survive long if he overworked himself, the whole family decides to ship him off to his gay uncle's home in Newport, Rhode Island so he could attend college there. Sean wants none of it, citing that he's fine with his small-town lifestyle. But once he learns that his grandfather sold the farm, home, and business and that he was to attend college up north instead of trade school in Adams Falls; Sean's fate is sealed. But then he's forced to join his adoptive cousins and uncles for some ice cream and meets two domineering young men fresh out of high school. And they...well, let's just say that they want to show Sean Gillain the TRUE meaning of having passion in his strict life. And maybe Sean doesn't think that moving to Newport would be so bad after all. He'll never know unless he gives it a try.

Where the blood of one thousand and one virgins taints the king's hands and only one power hungry girl can change it all.

Prithika Singh would have told you that her love life was going great. After all, who could argue that the pretty cheerleader and the handsome quarterback with their sweet year-long relationship were anything less than a dream couple? But Prithika is startled awake when she sees her boyfriend, Carter Hale, kissing Julia Hart, one of the supposedly average girls, in the middle of the hallway on the first day of school. Suddenly, her vision for her junior year is totally derailed, and she's left feeling uncertain about her sense of trust and relationships. And then along comes Jackson Rains, Julia's ex-boyfriend, notorious at Poppy Hills High for his (crappy) motorcycle, tousled dark hair, black leather boots, and two very public fistfights. In an attempt to save their past relationships, Jackson and Prithika hatch a probably terrible plan: make everyone think they're dating. Prithika will try to show Carter she can be a more low-maintenance girlfriend, Jackson will try to show Julia that he can be a more attentive boyfriend, and then Carter and Julia will get jealous and return to the partners they were supposed to be with in the first place, and it'll all go back to normal. But it seems the more Prithika tries to make things fit the picture-perfect path her life was on, the more things fly off the rails: she's trapped in trying to be someone she's not, she's lying to her best friends Laila and Aurora, she can tell Aurora's keeping secrets, she realizes how little she actually knows Carter, and she's getting more invested in Jackson's personal life than expected. Can she get her life back under control? Or will trying to fix things make a bigger mess?

WARNING: CONTAINING AMOUNTS OF SASS PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN TO MANKIND In the city of NYC--- Ok. Hold up. First of all, New York City. What, are ya gonna assume everyone here knows what NYC is? Anyway, this is about two people. I can almost hear you rolling your eyes. Another cliché teen fiction with a bad boy and a good girl? Nope. This is about superheroes. I can still hear you rolling your eyes. Superheroes. Like in comic books? Like people with super speed and mutant powers? Yes. But this isn't about the fight they have. More about the lives they lead without the masks. But just keep in mind, people who live in the world have all different skin colours. Do not assume my characters are of one unless I state them explicitly. and diversity is welcome here in my novel! Anyhow, back to the story. Ever wonder where supervillains go after their fight with the hero? What about the other side of the story? It's not like they sit in their lair cackling all day and planning how to kidnap reporters. What about the lives they lead? And instead of just focusing on that, what if the superhero and the supervillain knew each other? I mean, can they see behind the mask? No, so their identities are secret. So what if the hero and villain were best friends? What if they were roommates? What if they were falling for each other? And what happens when they find out? Now, I assume you know all of these questions will be answered in this book. But hold on. It's going to take a while. You're in for a bumpy ride. And if any of you got any of the references in this description, give yourself a pat on the back. That is a beautiful thing. And if you can name all the references in this book, you truly are a gift to mankind. Fangirl out.
