This book began not as a story, but as a whisper. A whisper that grew in the silence between moments. Between hospital corridors and the hum of machines. Between questions no one dares to ask out loud—“Where is God when we are lost?” “Does anyone hear us when we cry without sound?” And then I saw him. Not in the flesh, but in the spirit of every soul I’ve ever met who felt misplaced in this world—those who have survived wreckage, not just in the sky, but in the heart. Those who have learned to speak through silence, who walk among us carrying stories carved in scars instead of words.

The nerds have brought revolution and now control the planet. Now no one goes hungry and everyone has their basic needs met. Machines do most of the work. Life is pretty good for everyone. But being a nerd overlord still has its perks. Ten of the smartest will get to compete in 9 rounds of games. The prize is the beautiful Nasha.

Quarterback Theo Maddox was supposed to be recovering from a season-ending injury, not dodging lint rollers and modeling sweatpants that cost more than his first car. But image rehab comes with strings… and apparently, a feline. Designer Isla Montgomery has built her brand on clean lines, sharp boundaries, and zero distractions. So when her minimalist fashion campaign is hijacked by an injured football star—and his opinionated tabby cat—her carefully controlled world unravels faster than a bad hem. Theo’s charm? Infuriating. His cat?

There are stories that entertain. There are stories that teach. And then… there are stories that remember. Niwaka: The Child of Wind and Spirit is one of those rare stories. It does not shout to be heard. It listens first—then speaks in the quiet places of the heart. It comes not with grand explosions or fairy godmothers, but with snow, silence, feathers, and firelight. In a world that moves fast and forgets often, this story invites us to pause. To feel. To return.

These women are hot. These women will do anything to win. The husbands will watch. Can Kendra make it through another round? Will Caleb be pleased?

It’s been a month of living rent free, and it’s time to visit the apartment supervisor again. But this time he’s got more to offer than last time, so much that Missy really wants to repay him. It’s a tall order, but she has some ideas.

When Will returns home from university, he discovers that everything has changed—except for his feelings for his brother's best friend, Marcus. Recently, Marcus has come out as bisexual, and with this newfound confidence, he is starting to see Will in a different light. However, Oliver, Marcus's best friend, believes Will should be off-limits by default.

Caleb and Kendra are back for round 2. The competition will do much more to win. And the Centurions expect a lot more skin.

Harper Lane is a top-tier realtor who knows every corner of her small-town market, but nothing could’ve prepared her for the crime scene hidden behind the garden walls of her latest listing. Or the brooding detective who shows up with a badge, a scowl, and zero patience for her curiosity. Detective Jace Maddox doesn’t do chatty civilians, and definitely not the ones with camera-ready smiles and cats named after fruit. But Harper’s tangled in something dangerous, and when the bodies start piling up near properties she’s connected to, keeping her at arm’s length stops being an option.

Osman Warning is a gripping, thought-provoking book that explores the chilling consequences of a threat to life and the ripple effect it has on an ordinary family. Inspired by the real-life case of the Osman family, this fictionalized account follows the journey of Yasmin and Ali Osman as they struggle to protect themselves and their loved ones from a seemingly unstoppable danger. As the family grapples with mounting fear, paranoia, and a shattered sense of safety, they must rely on each other and the support of their community.

Lily Morgan is happiest off the grid, with her boots on the trail, a camera in hand, and her fiercely loyal German Shepherd, Finn, by her side. But one wrong step in a restricted zone earns her a citation from the most aggravatingly attractive park ranger she’s ever met. Chase Callahan has a reputation: rule-breaker, risk-taker, and wildly off-limits. As the park’s resident bad boy ranger, he's not looking for complications, especially not in the form of a stubborn, stunning hiker who refuses to stay in her lane.

Missy, a young woman of average intelligence, wants to keep her new home in a community of geeky geniuses. But with a high-school education and no work skills to speak of, what could she possibly offer this population?

She teaches math. He enforces the law. Neither expected to fall for someone so wildly out of sync. Officer Caleb Ward thrives on structure, silence, and neatly filed reports. His small-town routine is steady and predictable until a break-in at Monroe High leads him straight into the most chaotic classroom he’s ever seen... and the path of one infuriatingly brilliant math teacher. Tessa Monroe doesn’t do distractions. Especially not the brooding kind with a badge and a suspiciously dry sense of humor.

The wives in the third round are more out to please, and thus more out to win. The Centurion men will be expecting more from them. How will Kendra do against all of this? And how will her husband, Caleb, react?

In the murky depths of the underground silos, a fragile semblance of society clung to life. The surfaces, once vibrant with the colors of nature, now lay beneath a thick blanket of ice, a chilling reminder of humanity's hubris. The cold had crept into every crevice, snuffing out the last embers of hope in the world above. Yet, down below, the remnants of civilization had adapted, crafting a new existence amidst the concrete and steel.

A small group of intelligent but alienated people take over the world. They need to be entertained, so they’ll hold out carrots for the masses, let them compete with each other for their only shot at fortune. What will they make the wives do?

Sometimes a woman likes to play games with the mind of a man. But sometimes those games are fun.

London, 1308. “All I need is a plan!” So says Oswald of Harlech, a misplaced Welshman in the heart of London. Besides his trade as a tinker, he also robs houses, cuts purses, plays a crooked shell game, and has a way with the ladies. But this time, caught in the act of robbing a house, he is blackmailed by the scheming Keeper of the King’s Wardrobe into stealing the Crown Jewels from the impenetrable Tower of London.

On November 11, 1943, the Nazis invaded Cansano, forcing its two thousand inhabitants to make a tough decision—fight and be killed or sent to a POW camp, stay behind as servants to the Nazis, or move into the unforgiving mountains of Abruzzo while the Nazis used their village as a home base. Giovanni Ruscitti's family chose the latter and spent the next few months living in horrendous winter conditions in the rugged mountains. When the war ended, they returned to a village so ravaged by the Nazis that, today, the town has less than 200 citizens and remains in a dilapidated state.
