Silver Lining Maggie Osborne

Zhao Yu came to the deserted planet to build a base, create an underground city and hide in it. Worried about the threat from the unknown civilization, Zhao Yu dug out a small half of the planet and built star destroyer cannons capable of destroying the planet, as well as tens of thousands of fully intelligent mechanical dogs in various forms. The defensive robotic dog, the Gate God, would disguise itself as a small mountain and fortify around the base. Detection and gathering robot dog - Tsotan, would disguise as a rolling stone and wander around the planet to collect useful resources. Combat robot dog - Nezha, would disguise as a crater, scattered around the base, ready to be able to attack the enemies that may come. Around the base, they were ready to attack the enemies that might come. On this day, his gathering robot dog - Tsotan, dragged back a spaceship. It captured three alien creatures, claiming to be from Earth. Zhao Yu was confused. "Didn't I travel to the deep space of the universe? How come I'm on the back of the moon and being treated as an alien by humans?"

* At night He was rugged and untamed. That one steamy night left Grace utterly captivated. She coyly stretched out her dainty, snow-white feet, hooking them around his waist as she softly laid down her terms: For the first time, no staying overnight. The second time, the moment he got himself a significant other, she'd vanish from his side. Later on, their liaison would remain strictly on a physical level. No strings of money attached, no emotional fetters, just the most primal and unadulterated desires that flared up when night fell, entwining them like a web spun by countless spiders. And once the moment had passed, she'd straighten her skirt and turn her back on him, cold as ice. *During daytime He was the heir to a vast business empire, now impeccably dressed in a sharp suit, exuding an air of aristocratic reserve. He extended his hand to her with a polite smile, “Hello, Grace.” Grace gritted her teeth in secret dismay. She hastened to call off whatever was brewing between them, only to find herself cornered against the dressing room by the man, with no way out. In that cramped space, he was a relentless predator, and she, his irresistible quarry. His firmness pressed against her soft curves, setting every inch ablaze. Outside the door, her female colleagues were swooning over his chiseled abs. Just a thin partition away, he locked his arm around her willowy waist, seized her delicate hand, and guided it to rest on his taut abdomen, his voice dripping with a sultry allure, “Thought you could slip away? It's far too late for that.”

Noah always felt like a shadow in his own family. With an older brother like Henry—ruthless, violent, and always in control—Noah was trapped between expectation and fear. Art was his escape, the only thing that was truly his. But when an art battle meant to determine the best artist takes a dark turn, Noah finds himself caught in a war far bigger than a canvas. Liam, sharp-tongued and fearless, has made too many enemies, and Henry is at the top of that list. What started as a personal grudge has escalated into an all-out hunt, with gangs and dangerous alliances stacking the odds against Liam. As tensions rise and fists fly, Noah is forced to choose: stay hidden in the shadows or step into the chaos and take control of his own fate. In a world where art and violence collide, dreams are drawn in lines of ink—but survival is written in blood.

My blood, a potent mixture of witch and werewolf, surged through my veins, a power that terrified and enticed them all. Now, caught between two factions will never let each other have peace, I must choose: succumb to being hunted by both Witches and werewolves, or fight for a future where witches and werewolves can coexist because that's the only way I can get what I want; which is to have a world where anyone else like me don't have to always look over their shoulders. I must achieve that goal, even if it means sacrificing everything, including myself.

After a car accident and life-threatening wounds, Celia is now stuck in enemy territory, not that she has anywhere else to go. She has to sign a pact to prove she is not a threat if she wants to stay there. The catch is that it will bound her to the alpha, who for reasons unknown to her is ready to help her.

London, 1820 A kingdom shrouded in darkness. A bloodline cursed by power. A legacy of silver and shadows. Centuries ago, a king's insatiable thirst for power turned him into a monster—a vampire. His dark transformation left a curse upon his descendants: the Silver Blood, a gift and a torment. Silver Blood turns any weapon they wield into a force capable of slaying vampires—and according to ancient legend, holds the power to restore vampires to humanity. But no one knows if this power is salvation… or damnation. Maverick Crus Beecham, or Marx, is no stranger to the shadows. As the most skilled of the kingdom’s Special Soldier Night Guards, Marx has dedicated his life to protecting the realm. Yet when his stern uncle, Lawrence Beecham, unexpectedly sends him away for three months to inherit his title as Earl, Marx’s world takes an unforeseen turn. Enter Cherie, a mysterious and charismatic nobleman who exudes charm as easily as breathing. Their fateful meeting throws Marx into a whirlwind of intrigue, danger, and unspoken secrets. Despite their clashing personalities—Marx’s stoic discipline against Cherie’s playful magnetism—they are drawn together by a shared purpose, an enigmatic mission, and Cherie’s declaration of a "date" that feels more like destiny. “We should go through all of the ups and down, for better, for worse, until we are part by death” A tale of cursed bloodlines, enduring secrets, and unexpected romance, Sovereign of Silver Blood is a gothic adventure romance.

[WSA 2025 ENTRY] I Was the Luna Who Loved Him, Now I’m the Luna Who Will Ruin Him Synopsis Selene Callista was once the beloved Luna of the Silvercrest Pack. She thought she had everything—a strong mate, a respected title, and a place to call home. But beneath the surface, her world was crumbling. Her mate, Alpha Damian Blackwood, only married her because fate demanded it. He never loved her. He never wanted her. And when she failed to conceive an heir after three years, he found comfort in another woman—Lillith Vaughn, the beautiful and cunning she-wolf who had been Selene’s closest friend. The ultimate betrayal came when Lillith announced she was carrying Damian’s child. But before Selene could process the pain, she was framed for killing the unborn pup. Damian, blinded by rage, cast her aside, condemning her to death. And as if that weren’t enough, her father—her only true protector—was slaughtered for daring to defend her. Burned at the stake, Selene’s last thoughts weren’t of sorrow but of vengeance. Then she woke up. Sixteen again. Seven years before her death. This time, she knows the truth. Damian was never her fated mate—he was a curse in disguise. Lillith was never a friend—she was a snake waiting to strike. And Selene? She was never weak—she was just too blind to see the power she held. With the Moon Goddess guiding her, Selene vows to change her fate. She will protect her father, save her mother, and destroy those who seek to use and betray her. She will not waste her love on Damian. She will not be fooled by Lillith’s lies. But there’s one thing she didn’t expect—Killian Voss. The feared Alpha of the Nightshade Pack. Ruthless. Unforgiving. A man of few words and deadly actions. Selene barely remembers the boy she once saved from a rogue attack when she was ten, but Killian has never forgotten her. He searched for her, only to arrive too late, finding nothing but ashes. Now, like her, he’s been given a second chance. And this time, he won’t let history repeat itself. But fate is never kind. Damian, the mate who discarded her, begins to crave the woman she’s becoming. Lillith, no longer just a scheming mistress, has become something much darker—an experiment of a secret human laboratory, enhanced with a power no werewolf can match. And Selene, caught between past and present, must decide whether to fight for revenge… or for a future she never thought possible. Because this time, she won’t just rewrite her destiny—she will set the entire werewolf world on fire.

In "Our Endings," I tell a story of a really intense friendship that ended up breaking my heart and teaching me a lot about myself. This book is all about the ups and downs of loving someone who doesn’t really love you back the same way and I’ve come to realize how unhealthy it was. I wrote about how I gave everything I had—my heart, my soul, and all my loyalty—to this person, but they just took it all without really caring about me. It was super hard realizing that the person I thought was my best friend didn’t value me the way I valued them. Each chapter talks about different feelings I went through: being anxious about things I couldn’t say, desperately wanting them to notice me, and the sadness of knowing my love and efforts were ignored as well as other things. "Our Endings" isn’t just about being heartbroken; it’s also about how the person I loved and pretty much idolized; their true intentions slowly revealed itself to me. Which lead me to finding the strength to let go of someone who was hurting me. It shows how hard it is to move on but also that it’s possible to find new beginnings and realize my own worth again. As well as me growing in my faith in Jesus Christ and encouraging people to follow him!This is my first book that I’m thinking of publishing so this isn’t out yet.

How can I feel safer with a stranger I've just met than the man who was supposed to love me until death? Why does he look at me like I'm the most beautiful thing in the world? Does he see the bruises? Is that why he's doing this? I should've never left the house, but I couldn't let him win. Not this time, but I hadn't counted on this. "He'll never hurt you again." I want to believe those words, but I don't know if I can. What if I'm going crazy? What if it's all a dream, and I wake up in the nightmare that's my life? I shouldn't trust him, but gods, why does his voice affect me like this? Why does he smell like lightning storms and heather? "Nefretiri? Do you know what a mate is?" No, he didn't just say that! Life isn't supposed to be this dark. That's what Nefretiri Jordans believed until her world came crumbling down. Her marriage was now a game of slave and master, and she would never win. Not when her husband was cruel enough to bring his mistresses to the house and act like Nefra was nothing more than a servant. She wants to run, but she can't. He'll never let her go, especially not with their new daughter. So, she has no choice but to live in hell and do her best to stay sane.

Unfortunately for him, she's not on board and seems to belong to someone else. If Ivan wants Nefretiri to be his, he'll need to do more than earn her trust. Dark secrets are waiting to devour both of them, and more than one enemy is watching in the shadows to claim what both unknowingly hold.  Somehow, they must get past their pain to find each other and build something neither believed was possible again. Finally, it's time to put the cards on the table and bet it all. If they win, their lives will be more than either of them could ever dream, but if they lose, the darkness will destroy more than one life.

"Shall I tell you a little secret? But I have to warn you, you won't like it." No one likes spoilers, therefore, I present this to you. "Is it a book filled with spoilers or a book specifically about spoilers?" Read between the lines, that is what you do when you are eager to find out. To figure out a secret, to interpret and keep note of what there is to come. "It is kind of like that, but I would rather refer to it as a compilation or a series." "Or an outline, a note, reminder for what'll end up happening, whatever sounds right to you." A story that has only one plot, universe, and meaning is not how you would describe this one. Spoiler though, you'll never be satisfied. /Extra/ "One more thing... None of this is real. Unless you know what exactly is going on."
