Yeseni and the Daughter of Peace

Solange Burrell

The year is 1748. Elewa, known as ‘the Daughter of Peace’, bears a heavy responsibility on her young shoulders: to maintain the fragile truce between the warring peoples of her West African kingdom. 
 
But as she begins to understand her role in the peace negotiations, even greater pressures emerge. Elewa discovers that she has Yeseni, a powerful gift that allows her to see events from any point in time, and to travel into the past and future. 
 
When she experiences horrific visions of life aboard a slave ship, she realises she has to face the ultimate crossroads. She could use her gift to intervene in the past and try to prevent the transatlantic slave trade ever taking place. But that means she, as the Daughter of Peace, would be leaving her village behind at a precarious moment in the reconciliation process. 
 
Whichever path she chooses to take, the future of her people lies on her shoulders.

Life in the Metaverse - Escape...

Vahinji

We spend most of our lives online. Scrolling through endless feeds, gaming in immersive worlds, working in digital offices, and building relationships without ever meeting face to face. The internet is no longer just a tool—it is a space where life unfolds. 
Now, the metaverse takes it further. A reality where we don’t just observe but exist. Where identities are fluid, where wealth is measured in digital assets, and where entire lives are spent inside. 
For some, it is the ultimate dream. For others, the ultimate nightmare. 
This story follows Alex, an ordinary individual who steps into the metaverse seeking an escape—only to realize that leaving might no longer be an option. 
What they face inside mirrors a question we may all have to ask ourselves one day: If the digital world is better than reality, why would anyone ever leave? 
Welcome to the future.

REV - Rebellion

T.R. Harris

What would you do if you knew there was another version of Humanity that was superior to you? Would you accept them into your society with open arms? Or would see them as a threat to your survival? 
 
 
 
Originally, the REVs were created to save mankind from alien threats; chemically altered super warriors designed as the ultimate killing machines. But now that those threats are under control, what do you do with the growing population of supermen and -women who are constant reminders of your own frailty? And what if these 'ultimate killing machines' decided that they should be in charge? 
 
 
 
Zac Murphy and Angus Price are the two most famous and formidable REVs in the Corps. Supermen in nearly every way, they are legends, both among the growing REV population, as well as the billions of normal Humans on Earth. And now they will be called upon to quell the festering tensions between normal Humans and the REVs. But then a new threat appears on the horizon, a threat that requires the REV—once again—to become the sharp end of the spear. Will the REVs answer the call? Why should they? They have very little in common with the rest of Humanity. And with the way they've been treated recently, who would blame them if they said no? Will this be the final splintering of the Human race, one that could lead to the demise of both branches of mankind?

The Duke's Desire - 12 Dukes of...

Erica Ridley

A gleefully improper romp between a buttoned-up blacksmith and a spinster who loves racy novels, from a New York Times bestselling author: 
 
Meg Church adores two things: life in a village of perennial Yuletide, and the freedom of being a spinster with no reputation to protect. Oh, very well, three things: She’s harbored a secret tendre for Christmas curmudgeon Lucien le Duc since the moment she first glimpsed him. But the sexy blacksmith won’t give her the time of day, much less a night of torrid passion. 
 
Ever since Lucien le Duc was forced to flee his beloved France during the revolution, his all-consuming goal has been to recover not only his lost land and fortune, but also his rightful place among the French aristocracy. He would never be distracted by an English dairy maid’s sultry glances… or her soul-consuming kisses… or the temptation to turn one night into forever… 
 
The 12 Dukes of Christmas is a series of heartwarming Regency romps nestled in a picturesque snow-covered village. Twelve delightful romances… and plenty of delicious dukes!

In Want of a Knife - A...

Nancy Warren

Is Jane Austen the newest member of the Vampire Book Club?
What more could a diehard fan ask for? Except that Jane is undead and unamused…
To bookshop owner and witch Quinn Callahan’s delight, Jane Austen shows up for the late-night Vampire Book Club in Ballydehag, Ireland. Quinn’s thrilled and aching to ask her favorite author all the questions every rabid reader has about Jane's books, especially Pride and Prejudice. But Jane isn't in Ballydehag on a social call. She’s on a mission to stop the latest movie version of her most famous book from being made. Having Pride and Prejudice turned into a pornographic film is too much for the undead author to bear.
Dermott Lynch ditched Ballydehag seventeen years ago for the bright lights of Hollywood, leaving behind at least one broken heart and some very bad feelings. Now, he’s back, flashy and full of himself, wowing the townsfolk, and scouting locations for his movie, though it's obvious he’s never read a single page of Pride and Prejudice.
While excitement ripples through the locals at the prospect of having a movie shot in a village that doesn’t see much excitement (in daylight, anyway), the vampires living at Devil’s Keep are far from impressed. They prefer to keep Ballydehag quiet and remote. And Dermott Lynch could ruin it all.
Quinn, Jane, Lochlan Balfour, and his fellow vampires are determined to block this unsavory character from besmirching the classic novel. But as dark feelings grow, rather than a porno, the movie could end up being a murder mystery.
