For eighteen years, everyone in Veyra City has obeyed one rule: Nobody crosses Sector Nine. The government says the district was sealed after a deadly contamination wiped out everyone inside. Its streets vanished from public maps. Its entrances were buried. Its residents were declared dead. Then infrastructure cartographer Nia Calder discovers something impossible. Sector Nine is still consuming electricity. Water is still flowing beneath its walls. And somewhere inside the forbidden district, a biometric signal belonging to her brother—dead for five years—is still active. Nia crosses the boundary expecting ruins. Instead, she finds an entire city filled with people Veyra insists are dead. Thousands of erased citizens have survived behind the wall, stripped of their identities and hidden from the world while the city above quietly depends on the labor of people it refuses to acknowledge. And the deeper Nia investigates, the worse the truth becomes. Sector Nine was never an accident. Its history was rewritten. Its people were deliberately removed. And the system everyone trusted to keep Veyra alive may not be the one responsible for the lie. With former perimeter enforcer Cassian Rook at her side and her supposedly dead brother hiding secrets of his own, Nia must decide how far she is willing to go to expose a city built on people who officially do not exist. Because once Veyra discovers the dead are still alive, the wall will no longer be enough to contain them. And this time, the people who created Sector Nine intend to make sure nobody survives to cross it again.

Too Late to Love You coverRomance

Too Late to Love You

For the first year of their marriage, Amelia Hart Vale believed she had found a home in Adrian Vale. He was gentle, protective, ambitious, and certain that providing for her was the same as loving her. But during their second year, work consumed him. He missed dinners, anniversaries, hospital visits, promises, and the small conversations that once made Amelia feel chosen. Adrian never cheated. He never struck her. He never stopped loving her. He simply stopped being present. Amelia fought for their marriage until waiting became more painful than being alone. By the time Adrian finally understood what his absence had done, she had already begun building a life that no longer depended on him coming home. When divorce is spoken aloud, lawyers enter their marriage and separation terms are placed before them. But leaving is not the only door Amelia wants to know how to open. As Adrian fights to rebuild what he neglected, buried Vale family secrets, forged documents, corporate manipulation, and generations of control turn their private pain into a public weapon. Now Amelia and Adrian must decide whether their marriage can become something neither of them has known before. A home where love is present, freedom is protected, and staying is a choice rather than a sentence.

Dr. Elara Voss has spent six years believing one thing with absolute certainty: Silas Crane killed her sister. So when the feared, reclusive shipping heir suddenly offers to save Elara’s collapsing trauma institute in exchange for a one-year marriage, she knows there has to be a darker reason. Silas is controlling, obsessive, impossible to read—and far too interested in the nightmares Elara has spent years recording. Then Elara moves into his isolated cliffside estate and discovers something terrifying. Silas is having the same nightmares she is. The deeper Elara investigates, the more everything she believed about her sister’s death begins to fracture. Hidden beneath Thornwick is a secret network capable of preserving and manipulating human nightmares, and Elara may be carrying the one thing its creators have been searching for. Even worse, the man she married to uncover the truth may not be her sister’s murderer at all. Silas has lied to her. Watched her. Interfered with her life. Protected her in ways she never asked for. And beneath every terrible secret is one truth Elara is becoming increasingly afraid to face: Silas Crane has been obsessed with keeping her alive for years. Now Elara must uncover what really happened to her sister, survive the people who want access to her mind, and decide whether the monster she once feared is the only man she can trust with her heart. Because their marriage began as a contract. Their nightmares made them enemies. But loving Silas may become the most dangerous choice Elara ever makes.

THE BILLIONAIRE WHO HATED MY NAME

Amara Vale, a forensic risk analyst with a reputation for finding fraud hidden inside respectable companies, applies for a high-level contract inside Cross Meridian Group. Lucian Cross, billionaire CEO and heir to the Cross empire, rejects her the moment he sees her surname. Vale is the name attached to the scandal that nearly destroyed his family twenty years earlier. The rejection becomes impossible to maintain when Cross Meridian’s board requires an outside forensic review of a newly acquired subsidiary and Amara is the strongest candidate. She enters the company under a fixed-term mandate independent of Lucian’s direct hiring authority. Then Lucian sees a childhood photograph Amara has carried for years. In it, Gabriel Vale stands beside Evelyn Cross — Lucian’s mother, officially dead for two decades. On the back, in Evelyn’s handwriting, are the words: “If anything happens to me, trust Gabriel.”
