The life Ariya knew ended the moment she closed her eyes.
After twenty-three years of struggling to survive a life where she never felt like she truly belonged, Ariya awakens in a world far different from her own. A world of magic, mythical races, ancient kingdoms, and destinies written long before she ever existed.
But there is one problem.
She is no longer Ariya as she knew herself.
She has awakened in the body of Princess Ariya Avelune, the beloved daughter of a royal family who believes they almost lost her forever. With no memories of the life this girl lived and no understanding of the world around her, Ariya must navigate the expectations of royalty while hiding the truth she doesn’t even fully understand herself.
Surrounded by a family who loves her, a kingdom filled with secrets, and a magic system unlike anything she has ever known, Ariya must discover who she truly is.
Because sometimes a second chance isn’t about returning to the life you lost.
Sometimes it’s about finding the one you were always meant to have.
The crown prince of an undead kingdom denounces his claim to the throne, and flees to the abyssal wilderness to be a lonesome wanderer for all time. That is until he rescues a terrified human girl who has unfortunately stumbled into his world of eternal darkness and inverted life.
Desperate for companionship, and out of the goodness of his heart, he offers her his protection until she can safely return to the living world. But the longer she's with him, the harder the thought of letting her go becomes...

Kira, a NASA scientist, is teleported to a planet that has no women. When she's saved by an alien that thinks she's a boy with deformations, she fights to keep both herself and secret alive.
Riley Steele, a 26 year old omega, is ready to do whatever it takes to get accepted into a special unit in the army full of alphas, and the people standing in his way are not shy to take advantage of that. With no choice but to accept the abuse, Riley's wish comes true, and he is finally allowed to join Tactical Team 07 with a promise his life will always be hell, and the people he should be most afraid of are not the domestic terrorists trying to bring back the good old ages when omegas had less rights than tablespoons. No...
It's his allies he needs to be afraid of.
But maybe this team, TT-07, is different. Maybe these alphas don't mind fighting with an omega. Maybe they don't see him as fair game, a toy to use. Maybe his new partner, a grumpy older alpha, Reid Bishop, doesn't actually hate his guts like it first seems.
Maybe he has found his family in this team. Maybe they see him as their brother, as equal.
But it is certain there are people who hate to see a strong, skilled omega in their precious elite alpha army, and will do whatever it takes to ruin him and break his spirit.
Trigger Warnings: Violence, Blood, Death, Non-consensual sex (non-graphic)

Maybe finding a true mate isn’t always love at first sight.
*****
An omega thief gets thrown out of his clan of criminals after he refuses to save his leader from a debt he can’t pay. Joined by his best friend, these two homeless omegas are trying to stay safe in a dangerous city where the army fights ruthless criminals who hate omegas, but maybe the best way to survive is to find any decent alphas to take care of them, even if they’re not true mates.
And the best place to find good alphas is the local mafia. But stepping into the mafia life comes with its own dangers, and their former clan certainly hates seeing them climbing up the lawless social ladder when they were supposed to fail as outcasts, so their hardships are far from over.
At least there’s a young alpha, not the prince charming our little thief thought he’d find, but he’s kind of cute, and has kind eyes, so even though this one isn’t his true mate, he decides to give him a chance.
But maybe it doesn’t always have to be about love at first sight. Maybe love can bloom where you least expect it – if you give it an opportunity to grow.

No one knows the real identity of the hospital's Plague Saint is sixteen-year-old Winter Pierce. No one knows she's a fraud. And no one knows she's a killer.
While floods and heat waves devastate the southern lands, the northern cities face blizzards and plagues. Up until two weeks ago, the Plague Saint of Devil's Pass was a real doctor.

Then, Winter's forced to kill again to save her brother. Her double life, already doomed to fail, is complicated further when her assistant insists on tracking down the murderer. Attempting to cover her tracks leaves Winter tangled in a political web. All the while, people are getting sicker, and trying to find the cure leads her to an enemy far smarter and more dangerous than she is.

Jasper Van Terra stalks the streets of the city-planet Kronos, masquerading as a notorious (and obnoxious) teenage supervillain. Under the guise of pulling heists and picking fights, she's secretly after revenge on Kronos's governor, the man whose family stole her from Earth and ruined her life. When she's lucky enough to get arrested on the same day as one of his escaped lab experiments, she may have exactly what she needs.
Grace Alvarez has cybernetic wings, no memory of her life before the governor's palace, and--after Starr orders her killed--one hope of survival: Van Terra. Jasper and her team of criminals drag Grace into a world of dangerous street racing; infiltrations aided by questionable disguises; crimes ranging from petty shoplifting to grand theft auto; and confrontations with other villains, whom Jasper can't seem to avoid picking fights with.
Governor Starr has a planet under his control, eyes all over the star system, and powerful villains on his side. Vengeance will not come easy.
Then again, nothing about Jasper's life has been easy.
Sixteen-year-old Felix Carver carries the ghosts of magicians in his blood. He can communicate with them and use the magical abilities they wielded against monsters when they were alive. His newfound power would be pretty cool, if the ghosts in question weren't his family and the man who killed them.
Death doesn't stop Felix's siblings from finding new ways to annoy him from beyond the grave, nor his parents from doing their best to protect him from the dangerous side of his new life. Felix learns that his family belonged to an organization of magicians called the Bright Guardians, while their killer was a part of the Guardian Uprising that tried to overthrow the organization eight years earlier. The Bright Guardians take Felix in, hoping they can train him to fight monsters and control the ghosts living inside of him.
Felix barely understands the magical world his family kept secret from him, but he does make friends with other odd cases at the Bright Academy. Troublemaker Arisa Tamura is struggling to control her ability to animate objects while under the influence of cursed bracelets, while the smart but reserved Mason Briggs is a witch who was transformed into a demon as a last resort to save his life.
Together, the three of them realize that Uprising spies are still hiding among the Guardians. They have no idea who they can trust, but they do know who they can't: a Guardian named Ernest Abernathy, who stole a powerful wand from Mason's parents before killing them. Felix, Mason, and Arisa must construct a plan to steal back the wand without any help. If their plan fails, Ernest will turn the Guardians against them and have them locked up, or executed. If they succeed, they'll have one more weapon in the fight against the Uprising's army. Either way, the approaching war is inevitable.

One second I'm at the NASA headquarters, and the next second, I'm teleported to an alien planet and land on the territory of a pissed off alien. I'm terrified and lost, but hey, at least the view is nice. Who knew aliens could be so hot? [Can be read as a standalone]
It was supposed to be all fun and games. When an injured Alpha Kaden comes to my office, I do what any sensible doctor would do and tend to his wounds. Somewhere along the light touches and eye contact, I ended flat on my back on the patient bed, my alpha buried so deep inside me that I could taste his tip on my tongue. We needed more of each other, so we agreed to a Friends with Benefits arrangement. No attachments, no drama, only fucking. It was supposed to be easy, but I should have known Alphas are greedy. Kaden got a taste of me, and demands more. I'm soon tossed into a world of jealousy and secrets, all while getting my body programmed to only obey its alpha. Kaden fucks so good, and drives me insane even better. It only takes a few tumbles in bed to realise that we are way in over our heads.
