    Summary

    It begins, like most dangerous things do, with something small and strange and almost sweet: a broken nose, a stolen night, a doggy bag pressed into the hands of a boy who should’ve been nothing more than a memory.

    But she keeps him. Not in the way people keep lovers or secrets or sins. No, she keeps him the way you keep a seashell in your back-pocket. Something sharp and improbable, something that hums faintly of the ocean even when you’re miles away from it.

    Baz is a tide in her life. He comes in. He pulls back out. Years pass in the space between his visits, but he always returns, drawn by something he doesn’t name, maybe the scraps of kindness she offers without asking for anything in return. Maybe the fact that she never tries to hold him still.

    They are not lovers. Not family. But when the world cracks open beneath him, when Cath leaves, she arrives like she always does. Unannounced. She tells herself it’s just a visit, just time to fill, just a borrowed stretch of days while her employers sip wine in Greece and forget she exists.

    But Oceanside doesn’t let you stay untouched. Not when the Codys are a current running beneath everything. And not when there’s... Pope.

    Summary

    Everything is glamorized in Las Vegas: money, bodies, violence, love. When your family stops funding your socialite scandals, you do what any heiress who’s lost everything does: take the pole working at a high-end strip club. That’s where you learn what happens After Hours when the city finally whispers its secrets. You capture the attention of Javier Peña, the newly promoted boss of the DEA’s Vegas branch, tasked with taking down criminal powerhouse The Ivory Saints. What follows is a volatile, addictive affair, dancing on the fault line between justice and corruption, desire and self-destruction, lust and power. No one truly knows who is using who.

    This story portrays sex work as valid labor and affirms the autonomy, skill, and agency of sex workers. At the same time, it does not ignore the very real dangers, exploitation, stigma, and systemic harm that many people in the industry face (often without protection or support). The glamor shown here is part of the fiction, not a denial of reality.

    Summary

    In a world where soulmates are written in blood-red ink across your skin, John has always known one thing: someone out there is meant to love him.
    It’s the only thing that ever made the sterile labs, the cameras, the endless expectations bearable. The name over his heart—Lindsay—was proof he wasn’t made to be alone.

    Now, as Homelander, the most powerful man in the world, he’s done waiting. If fate won’t bring her to him, he’ll drag fate into the spotlight. Vought’s soulmate search should have been simple.
    It isn’t.

    Because instead of finding Lindsay, he finds her.
    Kat.

    Mouthy. Unimpressed. Completely immune to everything he is.

    She doesn’t worship him.
    Doesn’t fear him.
    Doesn’t even seem to like him.

    And somehow, that matters more than anything.

    Summary

    History holds stories. History hides stories. When history is written by men, about men, an entire half of the truth gets forgotten. Sometimes, the truth can only be found by peeling back the annals - and sometimes, the truth isn't quite the story you'd expect.

    After spending too many years lost in their stories, perhaps it was time for hers to be heard.

    The war in Asia began in 1937. The war in Europe began in 1939. The war for America began in 1941. Eleanor Dahl's war began on April 9th, 1940 and she's been fighting ever since, trying to find her way home - but the toll that road demands exacts a heavy price.

    Summary

    Maekar had six children and that should have been enough. But with the Bloodraven whispering in his ears, speaking of destiny and the good of House Targaryen: the King demanded it was time for his eldest and youngest to remarry, as neither of his other sons would ever have children of their own.

    After six moon turns of dragging his children across half the continent: it is not he that chooses his wife. It's his children.
