About this listen
A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Journey
In a world without war, peace abides everywhere. There’s no crime, hunger, or homelessness. Yet, catastrophic events have changed America’s terrain. Now, divided in half by an earthquake separating the east from the west, the population has dwindled to a mere one hundred and fifty million, all living on the eastern coast, governed by the WGO (World Government Order).
As a government employee, Dr. Rylee Cooper follows their rules and regulations. Content with her life as an archeologist and a professor at the Institute, going about her daily life has never been a worry. Not until an unexplained homeless man warns her about the end and a danger coming. In less than a day, her peaceful, content life is hurled into a world of chaotic confusion, disbelief, and fear.

Story
I never expected to bond with someone… let alone a dragon shifter. Roran is everything my rational mind tells me to fear—powerful, dangerous, a creature of ancient magic and primal instincts. But his touch ignites a fire within me, a longing I can’t deny, a bond that defies the laws of nature and the boundaries of our separate worlds. I’m caught in a web of ancient prophecy and clan rivalries, which I don’t understand. As danger closes in and the lines between our worlds blur, I must choose between the life I thought I wanted and a destiny I could never have imagined. Because in ...

He’s a playboy. She’s an heiress. They had a one-night-stand and now she’s marrying his brother. Maigne never imagined she’d become friends with Garcia—'Kalleraya’s prodigal son,’ aka ‘the Romulo bastard,’ aka her high school crush—especially not while on sabbatical from being a Kalleraya socialite. Garcia never imagined a Kalleraya heiress would be like Maigne.

I didn’t know what I was walking into that night. A friend’s birthday, a high-end club, and there he was—a shadow in the corner, all piercing eyes and lethal charisma. I knew Marcus was trouble the moment he looked my way, but something in his gaze was calling me to him, despite the warning etched into every line of his face. He told me to stay away. Told me his world was too dark, that I was too good for him. But even then, I could feel it: a pull that went deeper than reason, tethering me to the danger he carried. Soon, it wasn’t enough to just watch from the sidelines—I wanted ...
