Brooklyn

From Thief to Champion Javier Restrepo thought the heist would change everything. 400 million in cash, rare boxing memorabilia, and finally enough money to escape the streets.

Corrupt promoters control the sport's highest levels, and some secrets are worth killing for. As Javier rises through the ranks, he must navigate a system where talent alone isn't enough—and where his criminal past might be the key to surviving boxing's deadliest truths.

Sometimes the biggest prize is the heart you never meant to win. Callie Monroe had never planned to leave Bandera, Texas. Her roots ran deep in the dusty trails of her family's ranch, where she grew up wrangling horses and chasing sunsets. But when her mother was critically injured in a farming accident, the hospital bills stacked higher than hay bales. Her father—desperate and proud—demanded a sacrifice Callie couldn't make: marry the well-off widower next door, a man twice her age with a cold smile and controlling ways. With the help of a childhood friend who'd made it to the city, she packed up her boots, dreams, and barely enough cash to get by…and moved to New York. There, she found work behind the bar at a dive in Brooklyn, pouring drinks, dodging creeps, and sending every spare dollar back home. She wasn't looking for love, but when she heard of a game show that paid winners handsomely, she couldn't resist. But she sure as hell didn't expect a game show to change everything. Grayson Wolfe was a tech genius with the instincts of a wolf. He turned a teenage startup into a billion-dollar enterprise long before he was legally old enough to drink the whiskey he now sold in bulk. But when his father passed away, the old man's will came with a cruel twist: Grayson had to marry—and stay married for one full year—before he could legally inherit full control of the Wolfe fortune and family conglomerate. He didn't need love. He needed a name on paper. A bride. A loophole. In a move that shocked his board and delighted reality TV producers, Grayson entered a high-stakes televised dating show, ironically seeking a convenient partner. The premise? Win the game, win a partner…and a hefty cash prize. He didn't care about the money. He just needed someone willing to sign the damn papers. Armed with charm, wealth, and arrogance, Grayson assumed every woman would be throwing herself at him. Until the redhead in the red dress rejected him. Callie Monroe wasn't dazzled. She wasn't impressed. She hated 'controlling,' and that's what the man was; she couldn't understand why everyone wanted him. Yes, she wanted the money, but not when her pride and dignity were on the line. Grayson had never been humiliated, and so publicly; Callie intrigued and annoyed him, and somehow, he knew that their paths were still going to cross, and he would make her pay for her insolence. What happens when Grayson turns out to be Callie's boss at her new office? Their connection soon spirals into a dangerous game of desire, denial, and a deal that might cost him everything…especially his heart. He had everything… until her.

My name is Ethan Hu. Born in Queens, New York, I spent my formative years on the bustling streets of Brooklyn, immersed in the strange and captivating conversations with my father. Our family was once the last surviving descendants of Huaxia's "Through the Mountains" lineage. The only remnants of our family heritage are my grandfather's compass, my father's bronze fish talisman, and the tattered "Fragment of the Shaking Dragon Sutra", which have been passed down through generations as our most precious "family heirlooms". During my childhood, my father would often light a stick of sandalwood incense in the dead of night. With a hoarse voice, he would recount the long - forgotten past, spinning tales of wriggling bones hidden within the hanging coffins of Western Hunan, and a mysterious bronze box beneath the ancient Yellow River Road that would emit a woman's mournful whimper on full moon nights... "The real secrets lie buried deep under the loess of Huaxia," my father would say, his eyes filled with a profound melancholy I couldn't fathom at the time. "And someone has to pay the debts our lineage owes." Now that I'm all grown up, I feel a strong urge to document the stories of my father and grandfather. I want my family to experience these various strange and wonderful tales, and pass them down through the generations, so that everyone can appreciate the rich mystery and allure of Huaxia.

The Valen-Maddox Clause In Brooklyn's most prestigious law school, love is illegal—especially when your last names are war. Sky Valen is the daughter of a corporate shark—lethal in the courtroom, feared in the boardroom. She's got jet-black hair down to her knees, a mouth that could make devils flinch, and a plan to rip apart the Maddox empire piece by piece. Ray Maddox is the golden boy of law school. Biker. Football captain. Heir to the rival firm that made her father’s life hell. He’s clean-cut on the outside, chaos underneath, and trained since birth to never lose a case—or his heart. When Sky and Ray are forced into a high-profile mock trial together, sparks fly—and not the good kind. They’re enemies. Rivals. Forbidden. But behind every sarcastic insult is a dare, every stolen glance a risk they’re both dying to take. Their fathers have blood on their contracts and secrets in their vaults. There’s one clause written between the lines neither of them expected: Fall for each other—and lose everything.

In the not-too-distant future, reality had been edited. Not replaced—just enhanced, beautified, streamlined. Life ran smoother on the Q-Link, a surgically embedded neural chip that let you see the world through your own eyes… but better. No more phones, no more awkward screens. You could scroll TikTok with a thought, order coffee with a blink, and stream your dreams in real time if you wanted to. People danced at silent raves, laughed at memes no one else could hear, dated in virtual cat cafés from across the planet — all without moving a muscle. Max was one of them. Twenty-two, Brooklyn-born, chronically curious. He was charming, lowkey viral, and just detached enough to surf the dopamine tides without drowning. His best views came from inside his skull. His favorite music? Beamed directly into his auditory cortex. His mornings? Coffee shops full of beautiful, silent people — each lost in their own tailored universe. Then there was Clara — smart, fearless, the face of their joint YouTube Xtreme channel where they filmed high-adrenaline neuro-sim stunts for millions of neural feeds. She’d once simulated a zero-gravity skydive into a digital volcano and came out grinning. Life was curated chaos, but under control. Or so they thought. Because beneath the fun — the neuro-cocktails, virtual pet cafés, and pulse-synced club scenes — something darker was humming. A whisper. A pattern. A question that shouldn’t have been asked. What if someone wasn’t just watching the feed… What if they were writing it? And by the time Max and Clara realized they were no longer the storytellers but the story itself — the script had already begun.

When tragedy strikes and the couple is killed, the alien takes the orphaned boy under his wing, determined to prepare him for the coming war. Now, as the fate of Elaris hangs in the balance, the battle between the corrupted invaders and the new generation of super-powered beings is about to ignite — and the planet’s very soul will be the prize

Lena Hayes never needed saving. She grew up on the cracked asphalt courts of Brooklyn, learning how to guard her heart just as fiercely as she guarded the basket. Focused, determined, and with a shot that rarely missed she knew exactly what she wanted. A contract. A career. A future where her younger brother, Jordan, would never have to struggle the way she did. Love was never part of the plan. Then came Jaxon Cole billionaire heir, media darling, and the kind of trouble Lena had sworn to avoid. He was polished where she was rough, privileged where she was struggling, and way too confident for his own good.

It started with a stolen moment on a rooftop city lights flickering beneath them, secrets shared between quiet breaths. Lena knew better than to let him in. Knew better than to trust someone whose last name carried weight in rooms she’d never even get invited to. But hearts don’t play by the rules. Now the world is watching cameras flashing, headlines screaming as Jaxon’s father threatens Lena’s career and a rival billionaire offers her a way out.

It’s about knowing when to stay and when to fight.
