Moremi has always believed in the dragon gods.

They’ve protected her kingdom for as long as anyone can remember. But when their power is tampered with, everything changes — fast.

Now monsters are real. The world is shifting. And somehow, Moremi is at the centre of it all.

With a mysterious prince standing in her way and her past catching up to her, she’ll have to decide who to trust… and what she’s willing to risk.

Because if she fails, it’s not just her future on the line — it’s everything.

An epic, mythology-rich fantasy with real heart and seriously high stakes.

She loved him on screen.
He can’t stand her in real life. 😭

But between awkward run-ins, on-set tension, and undeniable chemistry…

This “rivalry” is starting to feel a lot like flirting. 👀✨

What if love shows up when you’re convinced it’s not meant for you?

Ronan Wentz has spent years trying to outrun who he is — the anger, the past, the things he’s done.

A second chance gives him something to hold onto… but he’s still walking a fine line.

Then he meets Shiloh.

She looks like she has everything together — but she’s carrying her own weight, her own need to prove she’s enough.

Neither of them believes in happy endings. Not for people like them.

But some connections don’t ask for permission.

Emotional, intense, and impossible to look away from — this is for the romance readers who want a little more edge.

What’s your pick: slow burn or love at first sight? 🐢💘⚡

How far would you go to find out what really happened?

Roslyn hasn’t been the same since her sister died. No answers, no closure — just questions that won’t leave her alone.

So when the girls her sister spent her last summer with return to town, Roslyn does the only thing she can think of: she joins them.

But these girls aren’t ordinary.

They’ve made a deal with Death himself — spared from dying, but forced to repay that debt by reaping souls.

Now Roslyn is closer to the truth than ever before… but it comes at a cost.

Because some answers don’t come for free.

Dark, eerie, and completely gripping — this one will stay with you.

What if you didn’t get in… and decided that wasn’t the end of the story?

Raven, Atticus, and Dorian have always dreamed of studying magic at Sibylline. When they’re rejected, they refuse to let that be it.

So they find another way in.

Sneaking into lectures. Stealing knowledge. Living a life they were never meant to have.

But the deeper they go, the stranger things become. Their magic grows. So do their feelings for each other.

And beneath it all, something dangerous is waiting.

Dark academia, secret magic, and messy relationships — this one’s got everything.

What do you do when moving forward feels like leaving someone behind?

Olivia Lupo is stuck between two worlds: the life waiting for her, and the one she’s not ready to let go of. While her friends head off to varsity, she stays home, holding onto every moment with her grandmother, Annie.

Then a box of old memories leads her to Martha’s Vineyard — a place her grandmother once called magical. There, Olivia retraces Annie’s past… and unexpectedly runs into Connor, a boy who might just change her future.

It’s a summer of nostalgia, new feelings, and impossible choices. Because sometimes love shows up when your heart’s not quite ready for it.
