The Mana Engineer
Eric Elwyn thought he was just another overworked husband and father, driving home after a long day. Then the sky tore open and dragged him into another world. Rebuilt from the soul-thread itself, Eric wakes as an Outworlder — a rare race with higher than average stats, a lightning affinity almost no one has, and a profession tailored to his nature: Artificer. In a world where affinities define power and trust is rarer than gold, Eric finds himself bound to Welyvyne, a sharp-witted lowlander elf with her own scars and ambitions. Together, they’re outsiders in the Arcanum — the most prestigious magical academy in the realm — where every whispered rumor can ruin reputations, and every misstep can mean death. Eric quickly learns that his power makes him a target, his inventions make him dangerous, and his bond with Welyvyne makes them both infamous. But Eric isn’t here to play the prodigy. He’s here to build — to bend magic into tools, weapons, and wonders the world has never seen. If he can survive politics, professors, and the ever-growing shadow of those who want his power, he just might craft more than artifacts. He might craft a way to bring his family there.

Caught Between Two Hearts
Some love stories begin with a kiss. Theirs began with a crime. When Anne-Marie Scott walks home alone from night class, she never imagines that one desperate act of self-defence will pull her into the orbit of a family more complicated than she could ever imagine. Andrew Sawyer is charming, reckless and drowning in his father's disapproval. He is a man who feels everything too deeply but hides it behind rebellion and mischief. When he crosses a line he can never take back, Anne becomes the one person who makes him want to be better, the one person he refuses to lose, no matter what it costs. Vincent Sawyer saves lives for a living but keeps his own heart carefully locked away. He does not do emotions or distractions. He certainly doesn't lose himself over anyone. Until Anne. He does not mean to let her in, and yet, somehow, she gets past every wall he's ever built. Two brothers. One woman. And a love triangle powerful enough to ruin a family. What follows is far from a clean love story. It is full of bad timing, worse decisions, and a love so stubborn that even the universe, in all its cruelty, could not end it.

Untethered
Lucas Cadalain has spent his entire life refusing the neural implant nearly everyone else depends on. In a civilization too complex to navigate without one, that decision has condemned him to the bottom rung of society, but Lucas would rather stay a baseline than let a corporation decide what he can know, what he can become, or whether his own mind keeps working. Then a dying old man gives him an implant that shouldn’t exist. No subscription. No corporate owner. No skill ceiling. And when Lucas discovers his implant can remove the restrictions from other people’s implants too, Aethis Heavy Industries suddenly has a much bigger problem than one runaway baseline.

Five friends. A broken car. And a ghost who won't let them leave. Hazel, Xavier, Chloe, Lucas, and Ethan have been best friends since high school. Ten days before Lucas and Chloe's wedding, they all meet up at a new restaurant to celebrate. But on the drive home, a strange storm hits the forest. Tree branches crash onto the road, their tires blow out, and they are left stuck in the dark woods. They find shelter at a large, luxury villa nearby. The owner is Vivienne Sterling. To most of the group, she seems like a rich stranger. But to Ethan, she is the girl he has been secretly in love with and searching for over the last ten years. But they are not safe inside the house. When they check the security cameras, they see six sets of muddy footprints coming inside-but there are only five friends. Something evil followed them from the forest. A girl from their past is back, and she wants revenge. The friends must stick together and survive until morning. To save everyone, Ethan will have to risk his life for the girl who has been secretly protecting him for years.
