Seraphina Lane has always been a survivor. A final-year MIT student and a software genius, she spends her days buried in code and her nights hiding bruises under oversized hoodies. Trapped in a crumbling apartment with her abusive, alcoholic father, Sera's only dream is to escape—to build a future where she controls her own destiny, far away from the suffocating chains of her past. Damon Hale is a man who built his empire from nothing. A self-made billionaire and the undisputed king of the underground racing scene, he commands respect and fear in equal measure. With an empire built on speed, danger, and precision, Damon has everything—except the one software program that could revolutionize his fleet of custom-built race cars. When fate throws Sera and Damon into each other's worlds on a cold, electric night at an illegal race, sparks fly. Damon sees the genius behind Sera’s guarded exterior, while Sera glimpses the broken man hidden beneath Damon’s ruthless facade. But their partnership comes with a price—one that threatens to pull Sera deeper into the dangerous underworld she’s fought so hard to avoid. As shadows from their pasts close in and enemies emerge from the cracks, Damon and Sera are forced to rely on each other. Trust is fragile, love is dangerous, and survival is never guaranteed in a world built on speed and lies. In "Midnight Collision", two souls collide in a storm of secrets, ambition, and undeniable attraction. But in a world where loyalty is bought and betrayal comes at 200 miles per hour, will their connection be enough to keep them both alive? A story of survival, redemption, and the undeniable pull of two opposites who were never supposed to meet—but who might just save each other. Sometimes, the most dangerous collisions happen not on the road, but in the heart.

Yan Chen never expected to die like this. One moment, he was minding his own business, thinking about the most mundane things, and the next, an accident—a stray object, a twist of fate—ended his life. But when his vision went dark, there was no peace, no grand revelation. Instead, he found himself in an endless void, facing a floating cube that spoke to him with unnatural cheer. “Welcome to the Multiverse Mission Program” it said. Without much choice, Yan Chen reluctantly agreed to follow the strange system’s instructions, completing missions seemed like the only way to pass the time. His first world was nothing like his own—a kingdom on the brink of war. Thrust into the role of a duke, he had no idea what he was doing, but something in him refused to let the world fall apart. He would solve the problem, play the part, and then move on to the next. No big deal. He wasn’t attached to anything here. But then came a person—a man with eyes that felt all too familiar. He was nothing more than an intriguing stranger, but his presence stirred something inside Yan Chen. A pull, a quiet whisper from the past, though Yan Chen could not place it. “Interesting,” the man said, studying him with a grin. “You’ve got something about you... I think I’ve seen it before.” Yan Chen laughed it off, dismissing the feeling. After all, why should he care about some random person in this world? There were bigger things to focus on. Yet, as he moved through each world, each mission, that feeling lingered. Like an itch he couldn’t scratch. And that man? He kept appearing—different every time, yet always somehow... familiar. Wandering Through Forgotten Realms, Finding You—A journey through worlds, a path of forgotten memories, and a connection that transcends time itself. Will Yan Chen uncover the secrets of his past, or is he destined to remain lost in the currents of countless worlds?

EXCERPT "Do you know what I love about you, Stella?" he whispered, his voice low and dangerous as his eyes darkened with desire. Before she could respond, Simon leaned closer, his breath warm against her neck. Slowly, his fangs emerged, glinting in the dim light. His fingers traced a path along her skin, slipping beneath the fabric of her shirt, sending a shiver through her. "Those pure, innocent doe eyes of yours," he murmured, his voice almost tender, "the way they plead with me, like you think you can stop me." Panic flared in her chest, and she pressed against his firm body, trying to push him away. "Sir, please... I am married. This is wrong—it’s a sin to go after a married woman." His response was a low, rumbling chuckle that sent chills down her spine. It wasn’t just the sound of it; it was the darkness behind it. The amusement in his laughter terrified her. "And I am a sinner, my little fish," he replied, his voice dripping with menace as his eyes flashed with hunger, before sinking his fangs in her neck.
