The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - The Unforgettable Story of a Life Lived Backwards

F. Scott Fitzgerald, Zenith Maple Leaf Press

Summary

Born old. Growing younger. Living life in reverse.
In this inventive and poignant short story, F. Scott Fitzgerald turns the nature of time and aging upside down. Benjamin Button enters the world as a seventy-year-old man and, with each passing year, becomes physically younger. As Benjamin navigates love, family, and the world around him, his life becomes a bittersweet reflection on identity, acceptance, and the fleeting nature of time.

First published in 1922, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button combines Fitzgerald's signature elegance with a surreal premise, blending humor, irony, and melancholy. It remains a striking meditation on the human condition—one that resonates just as powerfully today.

The Alpha Who Saved Me

Stacy Rush

They came in and wiped out my pack, leaving me an orphan at the age of fifteen, but then Alpha Declan came in and saved me, bringing me into his own pack. I've been living with the Storm River pack for three years now, training and learning how to fight, so when the time comes, I can kill the Alpha that took my family and pack away from me.But what do you do when you start to fall for the one who saved you to begin with? The one that took you under his wing when you had nothing left? The one who kissed you first, and made you feel things that you didn't feel before? I shouldn't be with him; he isn't my mate. I've yet to scent my mate, but Declan is too delicious to pass up. He's already saved me once, but can he save me from falling for him when I know my Goddess-given mate is out there somewhere?
 
I feel us moving and then I’m being placed on the hood of his Tesla. This puts me so my core is up against his hardness, and oh my Goddess, he feels monstrous! It’s a good thing that I’m not his mate, because I don’t think I’d be able to take it. It doesn’t stop me from rubbing against it, though, as tingles begin to form, and I moan.“That’s it, sweetheart, rub yourself against me and come for me. I want to see what you look like when you fall apart in my arms.” His command washes over me and I come instantly.

Brutal Desires - Enemies to...

Drew J Kyle

A star quarterback with a legacy to uphold. A fiery activist with a past to avenge. The line between love and hate is about to snap.

Caelen "Cael" Holt has spent his life a pawn in his family’s game, a golden boy with a secret. He's a star quarterback with a cold exterior, and the only thing he craves is to escape. But his carefully constructed world is shattered when a campus protest pits him against the one person who sees right through his carefully crafted mask: Rhys Thorne.

Rhys Thorne is driven by a need for justice, fueled by a deep-seated anger at the company that ruined his family. He sees Cael as the physical embodiment of the corruption he despises. So when fate forces them into the same dorm room, their rivalry explodes into a war of words, turning their shared space into a tense battlefield.

But in the quiet hours after the shouting, something else begins to simmer beneath the surface—a raw, undeniable attraction that defies logic. As their feud becomes a public spectacle, Rhys and Cael are forced to choose between the roles they’ve always played and a partnership that could change everything.

Step into the visceral, high-stakes world of Brutal Desires, a story where genuine connection can break down the most deeply ingrained biases.
