  A man in love. A man in debt. A man who can't stop chasing the one thing that keeps destroying him.
  When tutor Alexei Ivanovich becomes entangled with a wealthy family obsessed with money and status, he is drawn into a whirlwind of passion, humiliation, and the intoxicating thrill of the roulette table.

  Open the book—and step into a world where every spin of the wheel feels like fate.

  Tiny Little Earthquakes 
  Elliot Hase is a sharp, observant nine-year-old girl growing up on a horse farm in 1980s North Carolina, where the adults are far less stable than the barn animals. Her mother, a charismatic alcoholic with a flair for drama and denial, careens through life in a haze of wine and self-pity. Her father, a distant doctor with a new family and a wife who rewrites history, offers more guilt than guidance. Caught between the two is Poppy—Elliot’s older sister, partner-in-crime, and cautionary tale—whose battles with addiction and self-destruction echo through Elliot’s own attempts to break the cycle. 
  As Elliot navigates funerals, failed interventions, AA and Al Anon meetings, and an elite boarding school that teaches more about co-dependency than calculus, she slowly begins to question not just the people raising her, but the identity she’s been forced to adopt to survive them. Her coming-of-age is shaped by secrets she didn’t ask for, betrayals she doesn’t deserve, and moments of brutal clarity that land like aftershocks. 
  The central conflict is Elliot’s internal struggle to define herself apart from the chaos of her family—trying to reconcile loyalty to her mother and sister with self-preservation, and survival with healing. Through humor, heartbreak, and sheer stubbornness, she learns that resilience isn't about being unbreakable—it's about breaking and rebuilding, again and again.

  Nine haunted houses. Nine stories, settled all by dawn. 
  In the shadows of Bloomstone Manor, a dilapidated estate hauntingly set on "Lily Lane", the veil between the living and the dead is impossibly thin. This collection of nine paranormal mystery stories explores inheritances, dark family legacies, and spectral demands, all bound by a houses enduring, dark influence.

Every artifact is a clue left by a child who vanished, whispering pleas for help from beyond the grave. The teens must solve the mystery and free the spirits before the night's magic fades, or they might become the next secret the old house keeps. 
  Uncover the restless spirits and broken promises that demand attention and resolution. When the clock strikes dawn, the secrets settle back into the dust and lilies—and it may be too late.

  An enemies-to-lovers meets fake-dating romance from Wattpad sensation Selina Mae, featuring an exclusive bonus chapter read by Zachary Webber.
  
  The only thing harder than faking it? Admitting it's real.
  
  All Athalia Pressley wants is to rebuild the shattered bond with her twin brother, Henry. But after years of distance, she's starting to believe it's impossible - until a statistics class lands Athalia with an unexpected tutor: Henry's sworn enemy and campus golden boy Dylan McCarthy. Suddenly, she has her brother's undivided attention.
  
  Dating is the last thing on Athalia's mind - especially not with the arrogant, impossibly hot McCarthy, who embodies everything Henry despises. But when she realizes her brother's sudden interest hingest on Dylan's presence, Athalia makes a reckless bargain: she and McCarthy will fake date, giving her the perfect excuse to stay in Henry's orbit.
  
  They draft a contract. Rules are set. Boundaries drawn. Yet as tutoring sessions bleed into elaborate staged dates, Athalia's carefully crafted plan unravels. The longer they pretend, the more those butterflies in her stomach feel dangerously real.
  
  Falling for McCarthy was "rule #7" on their "don't" list, but as the line between real and fake blurs, Athalia faces an impossible choice: the twin she's desperate to reconnect with, or risk everything for the boy who might be worth breaking all the rules for.
