Book Description
Everyone knows it’s humans you need to stay away from. Humans, albeit unfathomably idiotic at times, are the apex predator. So why can’t I stay away from this one? Dominic After a bout of food poisoning forced my engaged friends into bathroom-quarantine, they got an email about a cancellation at this beachside resort wedding venue. They need to tour and accept the venue in-person today or else it’ll go to the next couple on the waiting list. As much as I hate leaving my charges unprotected, I bite the bullet. That’s how I ended up at this bougie beachside resort waiting to sign a contract. But when the wedding coordinator drops a bomb, telling me she needs the engaged couple here in person to secure the booking, I know I’m in trouble. That’s when an infuriatingly bubbly redhead gamer girl swoops in, uninvited, to save the day. Vanessa As a successful videogame streamer on my way to a tournament for my favourite game, I have a lot to be happy about. But when nature calls and the concierge at the hotel I pulled into won’t let me use the facilities without a room booking, I get desperate. Now I’m impersonating someone I’ve never met and I’m in a fake engagement with a moody bodyguard who’s impersonating someone else. The hand-holding, bickering, luxury suite and king bed – those are all just part of the act, right? Seducing the Cecaelia Bodyguard is a bisexual tentacle shifter romance.

Pages : 55
Book Description
Being Queen isn’t as exciting as they make it out to be. I don’t know. Maybe I’ll start capsizing ships like our ancestors used to do. I need something new. Or someone…with a black pixie cut and a maddingly inquisitive mind. Lexi I might have masqueraded as a classics major in academia but let me make it perfectly clear that I’m a marine biologist. Cecaelia are real and I’m going to prove it. When I move to Passions Bay to take up a job as the new museum curator, it doesn’t take long for me to get kidnapped by a dangerously sexy cecaelia Queen. She’s kind of mean. Cecelia I hadn’t counted on kidnapping a paddleboarder this morning but seeing that tentacle tattoo on her wrist with her so close to my pod’s home couldn’t have just been a coincidence. I did what I needed to do to keep my pod safe. I don’t know much about Lexi, but if she doesn’t stop treating me like a specimen, someone’s going to get hurt. Perhaps Lexi being here is the work of the universe trying to get me out of a rut. It might be time to write up a contract. Seducing the Cecaelia Queen is a bisexual tentacle shifter romance.

Part coming of age, part call to action, this fast-paced #ownvoices novel about a Deaf teenager is a unique and inspiring exploration of what it means to belong.

Piper has always been told that she needs to compensate for her Deafness in a world made for those who can hear. But when she meets Marley, a new world opens up—one where Deafness is something to celebrate, and where resilience means taking action, building a com-munity, and believing in something better.
