    Summary

    Just because Daeron has been reborn into a dying lineage of white haired, violet eyed people in a different world, doesn’t mean that he believes in silly things like magic and dragons.

    or

    A contestant to his brother's—mostly imaginary—throne, Day is abandoned and forced to make his own way in the world. A child alone in Tyrosh, he does his best not to die or be enslaved by people looking to exploit his rare coloring. Eventually, he manages to get ahold of some hair dye and flee across the Narrow Sea to where he knows slavery is actually outlawed. There he wanders as a young bard. Until he accepts a job without asking enough questions, and somehow ends up a childhood companion to one Robb Stark, heir of Winterfell.

    Day does his best to forget about his secret heritage, even as the world falls apart around him. What does it matter when dragons don’t exist, and Viserys has everyone convinced he’s dead anyway?

    (Spoiler warning: Dragons do actually exist. And Daeron Stormborn has absolutely no idea what to do with that.)

    Summary

    Synopsis

    ​At twenty-six, Akaashi Keiji had his life calculated down to the millimeter. As a rising sous chef at a top-tier Tokyo restaurant, his world was delightfully simple: no family, no friends, no distractions—just marble countertops, immaculate knife work, and viral comfort food.
    ​That precision is shattered late one night when he is ambushed in a dark alley by the notorious Haitani brothers.

    ​Instead of demanding a ransom or tossing him in Tokyo Bay, they bring him to the sprawling, high-security compound of Bonten—Japan’s most dangerous crime syndicate. The problem? Their terrifying leader, Manjiro "Mikey" Sano, is quietly fading away. Starving, sleepless, and trapped in dark impulses, Mikey refuses to touch the cold, pretentious meals served by high-end caterers.

    ​Faced with a state-of-the-art kitchen, an unlimited budget, and an erratic executive waving a silenced pistol in his face, Akaashi makes a practical calculation: Cook, or die.
    ​Armed with nothing but a black apron, unyielding stoicism, and a knack for soul-warming food, Akaashi sets out to do the impossible—feed a ghost and survive the most volatile kitchen of his life.

    Summary

    What if Bella Swan had a brother?

    Seventeen-year-old Benedict James Swan is Bella's fraternal twin, but the two couldn't be more different. While Bella would rather curl up with a classic novel and keep to herself, Benedict prefers spending his days outdoors, playing sports, and soaking up the Arizona sun with a tan to prove it.

    When Bella chooses to stay in Phoenix with their mother, Benedict reluctantly agrees to move to Forks and live with their estranged father, Charlie Swan—a man he hasn't spoken to since he was seven years old. Hoping to simply survive his junior year and escape the cold, Benedict instead finds himself dragged into a world of vampires, ancient rivalries, and dangerous choices.

    This was never his story, it was supposed to be Bella's.

    Summary

    Crowmark Spritzer, a detective from the idyllic Brooklyn, moves to the picturesque coastal town of Maple Bay with his spawn, lovingly named Amanda. He is forty-eight, loves his daughter, and enjoys walks on the beach (maybe like three minutes, depending on his back). He's got a heart of gold underneath that gruff exterior, and his introverted and endearingly blunt disposition will capture the heart of many an eligible dad in Maple Bay. This narrates his journey in love and life with a dose of laughter and mystery.
