Every seven years, the world ends. Not completely. Not enough for humanity to disappear. Just enough for cities to vanish, histories to change, people to be erased, and the survivors to wake inside a world that insists nothing is missing. For forty-two years, humanity has rebuilt after each Ending. Now the Seventh is approaching, and archival analyst Nia Arden discovers something that should be impossible: a photograph taken during the very first Ending contains a woman with her face. The same scar. The same necklace. The same eyes. Then Elias Rook, a government investigator who remembers things the rest of the world has forgotten, tells her something even worse. He watched her die seven years ago. As Nia digs into the buried history of the Endings, she discovers erased cities, people who remember previous versions of reality, a secret machine built to keep the world alive, and evidence that survival itself may be making the next apocalypse worse. Humanity believes the Seventh Ending is another disaster to survive. Nia is about to learn that this time, survival may be exactly what destroys them. Because the world has never truly survived an Ending. It has been rewritten. And this time, there may be no next version.

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.

I MARRIED MY NIGHTMARE

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.
