The Girl They Couldn't See

For three years, Autumn Hayes was invisible. The girl in oversized hoodies who ate lunch in the art room. The "charity case" scholarship kid at prestigious Crestwood Academy. The nobody. Then Crew Maverick—golden-haired, devastatingly beautiful, untouchable—asked her to prom. For two perfect months, Autumn believed in fairy tales. She believed someone like him could see someone like her. She gave him her first kiss, her trust, her carefully guarded heart. Until she overheard the truth at prom: "Fifty bucks says I can get the hoodie girl to fall for me by prom night. Easiest money I ever made." The laughter that followed shattered something fundamental inside her. Madison Pierce—Crestwood's queen bee and Crew's ex—had orchestrated the whole thing. A public humiliation designed to remind Autumn exactly where she belonged: beneath them. Autumn ran from that ballroom in a thrift-store dress, mascara running, soul bleeding. She spent the summer after junior year drowning in shame, replaying every moment she'd been stupid enough to believe she mattered. But somewhere between the tears and the rage, Autumn Hayes died. And someone new was born. Three months later, senior year begins. The girl who walks through Crestwood's gates isn't wearing a hoodie. Her previously hidden figure is toned and confident in designer clothes her mysterious "summer job" somehow afforded. Her once-mousy brown hair is now a striking auburn with perfect styling. The glasses are gone, revealing eyes that used to hide behind frames but now meet gazes with unsettling directness. No one recognizes her. Not at first. Crew Maverick does a double-take in the hallway, his practiced charm faltering. Kade Zhang—his best friend and Crestwood's resident bad boy genius—actually drops his coffee. Even Ezra Holloway, the quiet athletic scholarship student who used to nod at Autumn in passing, stares openly. Madison Pierce's perfectly glossed smile cracks when the new girl doesn't shrink from her presence. But here's what none of them understand: Autumn isn't playing their game anymore. She's not here for revenge. She's not here to prove anything. She spent the summer discovering who she is when no one's watching—and she likes that person too much to trade her for their approval. So what if Crew is suddenly desperate to explain, to apologize, to get back what he destroyed? So what if Kade sees her as a puzzle he's determined to solve? So what if Ezra finally finds the courage to say he's noticed her all along? So what if Madison's throne is wobbling now that someone refuses to bow? Autumn Hayes learned the hard way that she was never the problem. They were just too shallow to see her depth. Now they can't look away. But she's already moved on.

CUPID'S SECOND CHANCE

Two years after her ex-husband's public betrayal destroyed her marriage and reputation, Maya Chen has rebuilt her life one careful piece at a time. She's a devoted mother to six-year-old Lily, a successful freelance artist, and absolutely, positively not ready to date—despite her daughter's elaborate schemes to find her a "new daddy." Then Dante Rossi moves in next door. Tattoo artist, motorcycle enthusiast, and somehow always shirtless when fixing things in his yard. He's everything Maya's controlling ex-husband wasn't: creative, passionate, and dangerously attractive. But Maya's learned her lesson about charming men who seem too good to be true. What Maya doesn't know: Dante isn't just her hot neighbor. He's a Cupid—one of the immortal Arrows tasked with creating true love matches for humans. After centuries of bringing couples together, he's finally earned his mortality and chosen this quiet town to live as a human. There's just one problem: Cupids lose their powers the moment they fall in love themselves, and Dante is absolutely, catastrophically falling for the woman next door. As Valentine's Day approaches and the town prepares for its legendary Valentine Festival, strange things start happening. Lily's innocent wish on a vintage Valentine card brings unexpected magic to life. Maya's art begins manifesting people's deepest romantic desires. And Dante must choose between hiding his true identity or risking everything to heal Maya's broken heart—even if it means losing his immortality forever.

Spoil me a Little

She's not deaf, not dumb; she can speak and even laugh. But what's the usefulness of talking when you can't explain your pain to people? What is the usefulness of smiling and laughing when you will later cry? Jean was a very beautiful and cheerful young girl, but she lost her mother at the age of nine. Instead of her father focusing on her and helping her forget the pain of the death of her mother, he went ahead and brought in his wife and children. Little Jean just wanted attention, trying to gain her father's love, but all her efforts were ruthlessly washed away. She regretted not having a mother and wished for her mother to not have died. She grew up alone, with no one to speak to and no one to make her laugh. Slowly, she started forgetting how to smile and how to speak; she even forgot how to show her expressions and emotions. She was a beautiful young woman with smooth skin that glowed like a doll. When she could smile, speak, and show emotions like a normal human, she wasn't the center of attention. But when she lost all these important elements of human life, it became easy to mistake her for a doll. The worst part was that even though people believed she was a doll, some perverts still wanted to take advantage of her. Just because she was now emotionless and had forgotten how to smile and speak, they thought they could exploit her. Oops! Don't be deceived by her angelic, doll-like appearance. She had lost all emotions and feelings not for them to take advantage of her; she was, in fact, a killing god. "Don't claim that! If it weren't for his timely intervention, that ugly Man would have been dead by now. But anyway, I will still go back to him; I won't leave him be until he's dead!" That was the letter she penned. "Jean do you want this store? just nod and it's yours" "the restaurant serve her the wrong food, Lock it immediately!" "Jean this is all my years property, please sign it, it's yours"

REJECTED LUNA,REOLATED COWN

BLURB: "Sign this. Three years. Give me an heir, then disappear." Those were the first words my fated mate, Alpha Darius Thorne, spoke to me on our wedding day—a contract marriage designed to save his pack's bloodline, nothing more. As a wolfless omega, I was the perfect disposable bride. For three years, I endured his coldness, his mistress's cruelty, and my own family's disgust—all while carrying his child. But when I finally gave birth to our son, Darius didn't even show up. Instead, he sent divorce papers and a check, choosing his true love over the wife who'd given him everything. When my family discovered I'd lost my "usefulness," they disowned me without hesitation. Left with nothing but my baby and a shattered heart, I vanished into the human world. Five years later, I returned. No longer the broken, wolfless omega they discarded, I'm now Dr. Sera Thorne—renowned supernatural physician, CEO of the largest paranormal pharmaceutical empire, and secretly, a wolf more powerful than any alpha. But fate has a cruel sense of humor: my son needs a rare treatment only his father's pack can provide, forcing me back into Darius's world. The man who once couldn't wait to be rid of me now kneels at my feet, eyes burning with regret, begging for another chance. But he's not alone. Adrian Blackwood, the ruthless Lycan King who's been my silent partner and protector, has made his intentions clear—he wants me as his queen. This time, I'm not choosing for my baby, my pack, or my family. This time, I'm choosing for myself
