MS_Nexus
In the 27th century, humanity achieves the impossible—light-speed travel. As the stars open their arms to explorers, they reveal a universe teeming with breathtaking wonders and alien lifeforms. Among these are the Celestials, extraordinary creatures of immense power, each attuned to unique cosmic energies. These beings possess the ability to forge symbiotic bonds with humans, granting unparalleled strength, adaptability, and even the power to manipulate the very fabric of the universe. Young pilot Kael Varyn dreams of joining the elite Starlight Vanguard, a group of bonded warriors, called aetherkin, tasked with protecting humanity's colonies and unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos. When Kael discovers an injured Celestial during a routine mission, he forms an unprecedented connection with the creature, a bond unlike any seen before. But this bond draws the attention of a shadowy faction, people who seek to exploit Celestials for their own dark ambitions. As Kael and his newfound partner grow stronger, they uncover a startling truth, humanity’s expansion into the stars has awakened ancient forces, and the fate of both humans and celestials hangs in the balance. With time running out, Kael must navigate an interstellar conflict, protect his bond, and prove that unity between species is the key to survival in a universe teetering on the brink of war.

Michael Cobb had it all: a golden arm, a college scholarship, and a ticket out of poverty—until a hit-and-run left him maimed, penniless, and stranded in a hospital reeking of antiseptic and regret. With his future crushed under medical debt and a phantom itch where his pitching arm used to be, he’s ready to give up… until a mysterious app hijacks his phone. [INSTALL COMPLETE] [Claim Your Perfect Companion!] Then the app appears. [CLAIM YOUR PERFECT COMPANION!] It’s a trashy mobile game—or so Michael thinks. But when he downloads it, he doesn’t get loot boxes or anime waifus. He gets Aiko: a scarred samurai girl shackled in a dungeon, her ribs cracked, her will broken, and her status bar screaming Suicide Risk: High. The rules are simple: pay to heal her, feed her, save her. Ninety-nine cents mends her bones. Two dollars buys her a meal. Forty-nine bucks triggers an earthquake to break her chains. But this is no game. Aiko is real. Every dollar Michael spends alters her world—and every choice binds them closer. As he drains his bank account to arm her against slavers, warlords, and a shadowy Teahouse empire, Aiko begins to revere her “Kami-sama.” Now Michael faces an impossible choice: hoard his last $1,000 for a crumbling future, or burn it all to fuel Aiko’s revolution. Because her enemies are hunting her. Her world is merging with his. And the app’s final warning still chills his screen: [ACCOUNT BINDS TO DNA. NO REFUNDS. NO ESCAPES.]

FORBIDDEN INTIMACY: UNCHAINED BY HIS LOVE

[WARNING MATURE CONTENT, R18+] Michael Specter is a handsome, successful entrepreneur with women throwing themselves at his feet just to spend a night. However, very few know about his menacing side. Twenty-two year old Layla Mclan is in desperate need of a higher-paying job to clear off her mother's debts. Opportunity comes knocking when she successfully applies for work in a richer household, the Conners. But life soon takes a turn when Layla finds out that there is no such household, and instead of working as a maid, she is now a slave to Michael Specter, a billionaire with a twisted mind. Layla’s eyes turned red, shoulders trembling, her soul wanting to reach out to her mom but alas… There was no way out, as she was already locked in the room, succumbing to the fears that didn’t feel very distant; She had gone through the same not long before. The agreement papers turned her body cold. Sometimes the worst seems best and there’s no end to the misery days; The one who avenges, the one who endures remains true to their valor. ‘Rule No. 1: Tending to your Master’s needs should be your top priority. Failing to do so, he can punish you however he pleases.’ ‘However, he pleases? What he’s gonna do to me?’ She mused and felt her heart sinking to the bottom of her chest. ‘Rule No. 2: You cannot say ‘no’ or oppose your Master’s orders.’ ‘Rule No. 3: You’re free to wear clothes of your choice… However, he can make you change it if he wants.’ ‘Rule No. 4: You are not allowed to step outside of the property.’ . . . Excerpt: “Ac-Actually I’m sleepy and I spent my day working for the household… Umm… Master, can I ask you something?” “Go ahead.” “I left my mom back home and I took this offer just to meet the debts… So will you pay me the said amount if I listen to your needs?” She asked in her feeble voice. “Needs Hmm… How about you strip off right now and lie down on the bed?” “What?” She exclaimed in horror. “You heard me,” he sounded dead serious. Layla gulped down the heavy lump that she had been holding for quite some time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***NOTE*** The cover isn’t mine.
