Imagine Cinderella, but the prince has had a crush on her since high school, and they end up having a marriage of convenience where he gets to crush on her in close proximity. Yeah. Welcome to my new book loves. ***** When her grandmother offers her one final escape from her cruel, manipulative family, Leilani Mayfield doesn’t hesitate. The condition? She must marry before her 28th birthday—or lose the inheritance that could finally buy her freedom. With just two weeks left, her options are slim… until fate drops Desmond Lawrence into her lap. Her high school nemesis. Her college mystery crush. And now… her only way out. Turns out, Desmond has inheritance strings of his own—and grandmothers who’ve conspired to bring them together. What begins as a marriage of convenience soon becomes a ticking time bomb of secrets, old rivalries, and unresolved tension. What Leilani doesn’t know? Desmond’s had feelings for her for years. What Desmond doesn’t expect? Falling harder now that she’s his wife. Between a power-hungry brother, a jealous half-sister, a conniving stepmother, and truths neither are ready to face, one thing becomes clear: This pact was never about payback. It was always about them. And the feelings they’re not supposed to have? Yeah, those are getting harder to ignore. ***** Link up with me on Patreon and Instagram: @timcarvie.

From shadowy assassins to seductive empresses, from soul beasts to lost kingdoms, Ren Zian will build the strongest harem in existence. And when the gods come to take it all back... He’ll auction their thrones next.

Ren has never known kindness. He grew up alone in the slums, learning to survive by staying out of sight and trusting no one. One night, he stumbles into a strange tunnel and finds a hidden shrine forgotten by time. There, he sees a black cat with golden eyes and hears a voice inside his head. The shrine is more than it seems. So is the cat. As Ren is pulled into something ancient and mysterious, he must decide if he's willing to take a different step in life or keep running from the world that hurt him.

I was just another guy on Earth — broke, jobless, and bored. Then I woke up in a different world… …kneeling before the Empire’s most dangerous woman. Princess Asthia. Beautiful. Cunning. Untouchable. And now I’m her personal bodyguard. There's just one problem. A system popped into my head the moment I swore my oath: [Absolute Loyalty Pact Activated] - Any direct command from the Princess must be obeyed. - Disobedience results in pain, punishment… or death. - Obedience rewards EXP, skills, and system perks. At first, it was simple: guard her. Serve her. Kill for her. But then her orders changed. “Undress me.” “Join me in bed.” “Make me forget I’m royalty tonight.” Now I’m caught between survival and seduction, loyalty and desire.

This shift followed humanity's first esoteric contacts with otherworldly beings, revelations that opened humanity's eyes to forbidden secrets previously unknown. After the normalization of the sinful and esoteric, humans and hellspawn hybrids now live alongside one another, united within a Western Coalition led by a charismatic political figure known as the Antichrist. In retaliation for humanity's embrace of heresy, a merciless and mysterious God unleashed an army of relentless, machine-hybrid angels to purge the sins of this defiant new humanity through sheer force and bloodshed.
