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.

Mia Is Mine
Mia ran from one monster. Leaving behind the glittering world of the Hamptons, she escapes the man who taught her that love could become a cage. Greg isn't the kind of man who accepts rejection—and she knows it's only a matter of time before he comes looking for her. With nothing but a suitcase and shattered trust, Mia flees to South Korea, where her best friend, Dal-Mi, offers her a chance to start over. But fate has other plans. When Mia crosses paths with the enigmatic Min-ho, she's convinced she's found another predator hiding behind a handsome face. Cold, possessive, and impossible to ignore, he offers her protection... but every instinct tells her to run. Is Min-ho another monster waiting to claim her? Or is he the only man capable of saving her from the one who refuses to let her go? Some monsters wear smiles. Others call you mine.

The ConstellationDiscover fiction
The Constellation
After 127 jumps toward the galactic core, the crew of the Constellation encounters something impossible: a nonhuman object hanging in space and strange signals that may be interfering with the ship’s AI. As Commander Gerald Younge investigates unusual fracture patterns in the jump coils, Dr. Hysen reveals the deeper they travel, the more the fabric of spacetime itself may be distorting around them. With the ship’s drive at risk and an unknown intelligence nearby, the crew must modify the Hysen Fold Drive before they end up stranded far from home.
