In the scope of Primal Hunter and Defiance of the Fall as far as an expansive universe, world building.
A LITRPG Post Apocalyptic Progressive Fantasy
They’ve made it through the Iron Dungeon but not without a heavy cost, mentally and spiritually, for Jeb. His madness once again flared up, instigated by the revelation some of his soldiers have been pulled into the Crucible of War, and yet, they still have no clue where humanity will land, in which deranged City they will be shoved into, and if it is not Blood City, how they will get to them?
One thing is sure, Jeb would never abandon his Soldiers but they have far more on their plate than just humanity as they exit the Dungeon into the still waiting teeth of Greenskins looking to end them. They are also joined by some crazy Blood-elf Woman with questionable motives but they have no time to figure it out when blood is in the offing and the Emporium’s gates are in sight. Jeb struggles hard to think clearly with all that has happened, the guilt eating his soul along with the PTSD for the use and abuse he subjected his Boy to against the final Boss.
His sanity and guilt are just two of many weights crushing his shoulders. He is told within a couple years Earth will have the System dropped on its head and the Great Galactic Empire, not far behind. His immediate impulse is to go to his home and defend it but none have ever escaped the Crucible of War in the long history of its debauchery, ever.

🥵mutual yearning & pining
I returned to Huckleberry Springs to start over with my name on a bakery and my past sealed up tighter than a mason jar. I plan to run my business, keep my history to myself, and ignore handsome flirts like local distillery owner and rancher, Cruz Foster.
Cruz might make me forget how to frost a cookie, but I’ve been taken in by guys like him before. When he turns up the charm, I punch his efforts down like a first proof of sourdough.
He backs off but continues being sweet. My car dies, and he’s there. I need a ride, and he’s there. I want to tell him that I miss the whiskey flirt with the lopsided smile, and he’s there with a sizzling kiss.
The real Cruz is even better than the one he shows everyone else. I fall harder for the guy who loves his family, works hard, and shares his troubled childhood with me. A man who fixes himself is my weakness
But secrets like mine don’t stay buried in small towns. If I don’t want Cruz sinking to the bottom with me faster than blueberries in cake batter, I need to break my heart and go back to minding my own business.
I’d almost forgotten what it felt like to smile, to laugh, and to really live. Until I met him.
Heart-stoppingly handsome.
Totally forbidden.
Keats Matthews looked at me like I was something special.
He was escaping his past. I wanted to escape my present. Together, we fell hard and fast and knew we had found forever. Or so we thought …
Six years later, his shoulders are broader than I remembered, his charming smile thaws my frozen heart, and it’s so tempting to run my fingers through his hair like I did years ago. But it’s the tenderness and warmth in his brown eyes that remind me of the forever we almost shared.
It’s magic when we’re together again. Our chemistry has only magnified. Seeing him, confident and more irresistible than ever, has me falling for him all over again and hoping for a second chance.
But he still believes our timing was off before. He’s wrong. It was the secret I kept hidden that was our undoing. Time hasn’t healed old wounds, and not everything hidden has come to light. When it does, we’ll stand together or fall apart. Either way, we must find out.
✨TEASER: TEST OF TIME by @harlowjamesauthor releasing April 10th! This will be a simultaneous release in Audio with the amazing narrators Aiden Snow and Ava Erickson in DUET!
Falling for the single dad next door wasn’t part of my plan when I moved to Blossom Peak.
I accepted the teaching job for a fresh start, far away from the controlling ex I left behind.
But Rhonan Hart is everything you could ask for in a man. Strong, dependable, helpful, an amazing father to his daughter, Ellis… and looks beyond sinful in his sheriff’s uniform.
Except his daughter is my student, and he’s determined to pretend like our connection doesn’t exist.
(I’m determined to pretend he didn’t see me naked when my shower blew up, and he tried to save me.)
But soon, he’s sneaking over to my house at night—warming my bed, tearing down his walls, and making me want something I knew I couldn’t have.
My life is a mess, one I’m still trying to clean up.
But this man and his child give me a glimpse of a future I want, no matter what the cost.
Just when I think I’m on the path to moving on, fate decides to give us the test of time.
For the last five years I’ve been running from both my sisters vengeful anger, and from my husband’s intense obsession.
When Gaven finally captures me, I have no other choice but to use him the same way he always planned to use me. The closer I am, the more information I have, the safer we both are. So, I’ll take his punishment for leaving. I’ll take his pain and his pleasure.
My wedding night might have ended in pain and betrayal, but I won’t let my life end the same.
He’s a killer and I’m a target. In the end, someone has to die, but who is it going to be this time?
Becca Steele is a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling British new adult romance author. She currently lives in the south of England with her family and a horde of characters that reside inside her head.
When she’s not writing, you can usually find her reading or watching Netflix. Failing that, she’ll be online hunting for memes, or making her 500th Spotify playlist.
As the daughter of the head of the Thorpe Syndicate, my life was decided for me from the beginning. I was expected to look a certain way. Act a certain way. To put the syndicate above my own desires. To marry the son of the head of another crime family in a deal brokered by my father.
The night my arranged betrothal was announced was when everything changed.
My brother’s best friend chased me into the woods and stole my first kiss.
Now, my engagement is drawing closer. I’m doing my best to survive one day at a time, keeping my head down while I attend classes at Cranham University, a former Victorian prison and home of the Cranham Kings hockey team.
But he’s there, a constant reminder of what happened in the woods. His hateful gaze tracks me in the hallways and the lecture halls. I loathe him. Yet when he’s flying across the ice with his teammates, I can’t help but notice him.
And the way he makes me feel? That’s a secret I’ll take to the grave.
Tensions are rising. Something is brewing, and my family risks being caught up in it all. I don’t know who I can trust, and as for Jay?
He’s a complication I can’t afford, because the consequences would be devastating for us all.
USA Today and International Best Selling Author, I am most known for my mafia and MC series set in the Five Points’ Mob Universe.
An avid reader of all things romance, I first started my career as a Why Choose author in both contemporary and paranormal. I eventually made my way to MF romance where I found my groove with the O’Donnelly brothers, the Satan Sinners, the Valentini Family, and most recently, the New York Stars and Pigeon Creek series!

When I’m not writing, I’m either reading, traveling or coloring.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and being in the hospital with stitches in my head and no way out makes me pretty desperate. So I log in to a dating app, searching for a guy willing to pretend to be my boyfriend so I can bust out of this overpriced nightmare.
But what do I get?
Accused of being a prostitute. Talk about a waste of phone minutes.
With plan A a no-go, I move on to plan B. Escape. Except, on my way to freedom, I’m nearly pummeled by a man wearing all black and with the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen.
When he pretends to be my boyfriend, I’m shook. And even more shook when I discover this is the rude guy from the app.
Turns out he’s not only rude but bossy, irritable, and he keeps calling me a walking hazard. I go along with the lie anyway, thinking I can ditch him as soon as I’m free.
Except that doesn’t happen.
I end up back at his place, eating soup and trying hard not to catch feelings.
Then my apartment is broken into, and I’m running for my life, confused, injured, and with nowhere else to go. Kieran vows to keep me safe, something he seems more than capable of… Which is kinda odd for a real estate agent, right?
As the threat to my life intensifies, I start to wonder if I’ll make it to my next birthday and, more importantly, if trusting Kieran is the deadliest hazard of all.
What kind of witch are you when you can’t even use your magic? Not a good one that’s for sure.
Alise Davis has always felt the energy of her magic churning just below the surface. The only thing she’s been able to do so far is draw pictures that for some reason, make people feel exactly how she was feeling at the time she drew it–a manifestation of her emotions. But all of a sudden she’s been able to see the animals of the many shifters who live in Springlake Pines. She’d not been able to do that before. And it seems as if her magic is pulling her toward something, or someone. Inquiries to her father uncover her mother’s grimoire and the fact her mother has a twin sister. Family may be just who she needs to get the answers to her magic problem.
The monster has a mate and she is the only one who can make him powerful enough to defeat the one person who has answers for the both of them. His Maker.
Wyatt and I gathered the plates, stacking them up.
“Thanks for doing this.”
“I told you, it wasn’t much effort.”
I swallowed hard, biting my lower lip. Obviously, I was making too much out of everything.
“Just the fact that you thought about doing it speaks volumes about you, Wyatt.”
“All good things, I hope.” The corner of his mouth rose slightly.
I nodded. “Very good things.”
He was close, and then he came closer still. His mouth was suddenly on mine, and it was completely electrifying. He ravaged me. There was no other way to put it. There was nothing hesitant or slow about this man’s kissing. He licked my lower lip, then pressed his mouth hard against mine. His tongue was doing delicious things to me.
I put one hand on his shoulder and the other on his back. Then I lost my head completely. While Wyatt’s hand moved from my waist farther down, I shamelessly felt him up too. His muscles were a delight. After I’d ogled them all week, this felt like a reward. I could touch them to my heart’s content. And I wasn’t holding back at all. Oh yeah, he was so hot.
Wyatt growled against my mouth. I only realized what was happening when he grabbed my hand.
“No.”
Shoot. I’d been about to take off his belt. What. The. Heck. I gasped, taking a step back.
“Oh my goodness. I’m so sorry. I wasn’t… I didn’t think.”
He stepped forward, still holding my hand tightly. “Don’t you apologize. I was going to lift you up onto that table.”
“Wyatt—”
He put his fingers across my lips. “Don’t say anything.”
I nodded and swallowed hard.
“This can stay here in the vineyard,” he added,
I opened my mouth, then shook my head. He just smiled.
“You don’t need to say anything.” He looked at my lips intently, then glanced away. “Sage will clear up everything here. Come on, let’s go back to the house.”
“Good idea.”
Except… was it really? It was hard enough to resist his charm out here. I didn’t imagine knowing he was just a few feet away, right next to my bedroom, would make things any better.
Blurb:
Hot-headed. Stubborn. Absolutely no impulse control.
That’s who I am, according to my brothers and business partners. We run one of the top companies in the country, and we’re growing fast. When I start interviewing for a key position, my brothers firmly advise me against hiring Kinley.
Of course, I hire her anyway, and not just because she’s insanely gorgeous.
She’s hard-working, ambitious, and a perfect match. Unfortunately, she comes with baggage. Her ex framed her in an infamous corporate scandal. She was cleared in the court, yet the media was unforgiving.
But Kinley isn’t the woman the headlines painted.
She’s not conniving. She’s smart.
She’s not cold. She’s careful.
And she’s not distant. She just won’t allow anyone to get too close.
But that’s all I want.
Despite my intention to stay away from her, I can’t stop fantasizing about kissing her senseless and worshipping her body. Then, when we fly to Napa together to scout a new business, all my good intentions go up in smoke. Spending hours on end with her during the day is too much of a temptation. Sharing the same cabin at night is torture.
I’m tired of pretending I don’t want her in my bed, and my life. More than that, I want to protect her from everyone who hurt her. I’ll fight like hell not only to make her mine, but to earn her trust. Because once I have Kinley, I intend to keep her forever.
