The World, Unwritten
Reads
After an enigmatic global cataclysm left the world in ruins—barren soil, widespread famine, scarce clean water, depleted medicine, and the total collapse of the old order—humanity plunges into prolonged chaos and darkness. A young man, having fought his way out of the lawless Unplanned Zones, turns his back on the endless dust storms and arrives alone in America's Sixth District—the contested control zone centered around the remnants of Salt Lake City—seeking nothing more than survival. Here, makeshift roadblocks and checkpoints loosely define territories. Black markets determine who eats and who starves, while rival gangs, warlord remnants, and makeshift civilian councils vie for dominance. Hunger, disease, and violence are constant companions, and order hangs by a thread—held together only by whoever controls the food and the guns. Yet chance brings him together with a handful of unlikely companions—ordinary people scraping by in the cracks of this broken society. A single moment of decision, one act of standing up when others look away, draws him into the heart of the Sixth District's power struggles. From the bottom rungs of this unforgiving world, he begins to rise—not through miracles, but through sharp wits, hard-earned trust, unflinching courage, and a keen understanding of human nature. In this shattered land, he carves out his own path, forging a legend of survival amid the ruins.

Manhattan Fire: My Ex Came Back as My Fiancé's Uncle
Reads
(A Second-Chance Billionaire Romance) Three years ago, Elena Brooks—New York’s untouchable Upper East Side heiress—spent one reckless, secret summer tangled in the sheets with Lucas Bennett, the brilliant and dangerously magnetic heir to a transatlantic financial dynasty. Then, without a word of explanation, she walked away and shattered him. Now the Brooks family empire is on the brink of collapse, buried under scandal and crippling debt. To salvage what’s left, Elena is forced into an engagement with Ethan Cole—Manhattan’s most infamous playboy, a trust-fund devil who burns through women and headlines alike. On a rain-drenched night in the city, Elena is behind the wheel, chauffeuring a drunken Ethan and his latest conquest to a Midtown hotel. A flash of lightning, a split-second mistake, and her car slams into a sleek black Rolls-Royce Phantom. The man who steps out into the downpour is no stranger. Lucas Bennett is no longer the young prodigy she left behind. After vanishing to London three years ago, he has returned as the most ruthless and powerful British financier in the Northern Hemisphere—a self-made billionaire who controls half the private equity flowing through the City of London and Wall Street alike. Cold, commanding, and devastatingly handsome, he now sits at the very top of the food chain. And Ethan Cole? He’s forced to call Lucas “Uncle”—because Lucas’s fund quietly owns the majority stake in the Cole family fortune. Lucas didn’t come back to New York for business. He came back for her. What follows is a high-stakes war of obsession and redemption: hostile boardroom takeovers, leaked secrets at Met Gala after-parties, whispered threats in Hamptons estates, and nights so intense they threaten to burn both their worlds to the ground. He will tear apart every alliance she’s made. He will ruin any man who dares touch her. And he will grovel, beg, and bleed if that’s what it takes to make her his again. Because Lucas Bennett doesn’t believe in second chances. He believes in ownership. And Elena Brooks has always been his. Tropes: Broken mirror heavy reunion • Insanely possessive British billionaire • Chase-wife-to-the-crematorium grovel • Old money vs new money drama • Dual POV • Both clean • Intense steam Ready to fall for the man who will burn the world down for one woman? Turn the page. You won’t be able to look away.
