abstract: An evil god stole Cal Knox's four children. Cal has three deadly wives, one heroic dog, and no intention of asking permission. Enoch Null rules Anti-Paradise, a conquered dimension where nothing can hurt because nothing can choose. He needs the children's mixed mortal, angelic, infernal, and System inheritance to power a crown that could chain every connected world. He expects frightened captives. Instead, the four kids form their own raid cell and begin breaking heaven from the inside. Cal, Aurelia, Vesper, Ravena, and Biscuit invade immediately. Every district they free turns another divine commandment into a weapon. Every victory forces them to choose between easy control and the harder power of being refused. Killing the god's body will not be enough. Biscuit must find the mortal lie hidden beneath paradise, and the whole family must decide what they are willing to rule after they win. Fast progression, crunchy party mechanics, active heroines, bisexual harem heat, family stakes, false-heaven boss fights, and one very good dog carry Hell Raid Harem to its final, decisive ending.

description: The gods will restore Chad Baconizer's male body. All he has to do is abandon his three girlfriends and let a country die.
abstract: Soul storms are tearing Amarat apart while its celebrated heroes feed the nation into the Ascension Engine. Chad has one final raid left: cross a land being rewritten into fuel, break the heroes who corrupted the System, and reach the engine before the country runs out of Health. The divine spectators offer Chad the reward he has wanted since his looksmaxxing accident—a healthy male body, restored at once. They picked the wrong man to bribe.

Ione cuts living souls free from the machine. Chad takes everything the final boss can deal and keeps standing for the women who chose him. Victory means more than saving the world.

Heaven Took My Angel: An Ecchi Harem LitRPG Adventure

publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: Cal Knox beat Hell and brought his dog home. Now Biscuit wants a walk through Heaven.
abstract: Cal Knox beat Hell and brought his dog home. Now Biscuit wants a walk through Heaven. It should be the easiest victory lap in history. Instead, fallen Archangels seize Aurelia, lock her in chains beneath a counterfeit throne, and rewrite paradise into the largest dungeon Cal has ever seen. Vesper is still free, still black-winged, and still willing to lie to Heaven's face. Their unlikely guide is Ravena Sable, an adult succubus rogue with a stolen chain-whip, a dangerous smile, and reasons of her own to hate the new management. She wants a place in Cal's party. She may want considerably more. Between them and Aurelia stands Cassiel Morn, a false savior who turns consent into a status effect. His adviser is Psalter, a talking black cat with silver eyes, nine counterfeit lives, and the manners of a tiny aristocratic knife. To save his angel, Cal must break Heaven's aggro rules, expose an invasion hiding behind perfect smiles, and grow a four-person raid into a five-member family without treating anyone like loot. Biscuit is ready to bite divine authority. Cal just needs to make sure the dog knows which halo belongs to the boss.

type: Book

publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: Hell murdered Cal Knox's dog. Then it offered him a class.
abstract: Hell murdered Cal Knox's dog. Then it offered him a class. Cal is a broke night owl whose best skill is spotting a rigged boss fight. When the demon Marquis Varkos kills Biscuit and steals the dog's fiercely loyal soul, Cal takes the forbidden Griefbound Raider class and follows him through the gate. His new raid party comes with complications. Aurelia is a golden-winged tank with failing armor, a blunt appetite, and no interest in hiding either. Vesper is a black-winged trickster whose halo exposes every lie except the ones she tells while sitting in Cal's lap. Both angels need a living mortal anchor. Both choose him. Every kennel hides a captive soul. Every boss turns love into another control mechanic. To bring Biscuit home, Cal must build his vengeance resource by protecting his pack, trust two angels who make their desire impossible to miss, and beat Hell at its own rules. Hell understands obedience. It has no idea what loyalty can do.

type: Book
author: Jax A. River
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: Chad Baconizer escaped slavery with three dangerous girlfriends, a life-stealing tank build, and no better way to phrase a combat order.
abstract: Now the frontier wants his party dead. The celebrated heroes want their stolen soul-key back. The System keeps rewarding Chad for taking more damage than any sane man should survive. Blood Mark, Overflow, and Party Link can turn the four outlaws into a defensive engine. Zafira can seize control of a negotiation. Elka can find roads the enemy erased. Ione can strip lies from hostile magic. Chad can drag every killing blow onto himself—if his stolen Health lasts. Their next target is a dungeon built to punish healers. Beneath it waits proof that the heroes' miracles run on trapped souls, along with a boss designed to shut Chad's build down. If the party fails, a frontier city will feed the heroes' ascension ritual. If they win, Chad and the women who chose him become enemies of the realm. He only needs everyone behind him while he takes them all at once. I Can Take All of Them at Once is Book 2 of Chad's Cursed Build, a fast, funny adult harem LitRPG with tactical progression, dungeon combat, dirty jokes, and a committed four-person party. Contains explicit consensual adult intimacy and polyamorous romance.

type: Book
author: Jax A. River
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: Texas gets isekai'd—so one stubborn man and his dog decide to build a republic one bloody mile of road at a time.
abstract: On an ordinary Saturday morning, San Antonio is transferred to another world governed by an 'Adjudication Layer' that assigns levels, classes, quests, and civic 'claim' mechanics, and fills the landscape with monsters. John Garcia, an unclassed laborer, bonds with his hound Max, discovers that protecting and organizing survivors literally strengthens his authority, and takes up a grim class built around ammunition, grit, and consequence. Gathering a core of ordinary people—a pharmacist, a deputy, a schoolteacher grandmother, and others—he fights east across a transformed Texas of dungeon grocery stores, mimic courthouses, and sentient terrain, trying to build defensible roads and legitimate self-government rather than kingship. Interludes track a powerless Old-World Washington reckoning with a vanished Texas as John's crusade reaches the poisoned green frontier of a warped Louisiana.

Nice Body, Wrong Loadout: The System Gave Me Curves and a Life-Stealing Tank Build
type: Book
author: Jax A. River
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: Chad Baconizer died chasing half a point of jawline. The gods sent him to a fantasy world in a stunning female body, then handed him the worst class menu he had ever seen.
abstract: He is still a man. The System disagrees. Bandits sell Chad into a desert sheik's harem before he can reach level two. When a celebrated hero party raids the palace and treats every captive as expendable, Chad escapes with Zafira, Elka, and Ione—three adult women with the skills to keep a reckless tank alive. Bloodguard turns pain into protection. Each clean strike steals Health. Every level makes Chad harder to kill and much harder to ignore. Now the four outlaws must break the slave network hunting them and expose the heroes gathering souls for a country-killing ritual. If Chad fails, the gods will erase his memories of being a man and marry him to an imperial prince. Chad plans to answer with a spear, a Health bar, and tactical orders that sound filthy in his new voice. Nice Body, Wrong Loadout is Book 1 of Chad's Cursed Build, a fast, funny adult harem LitRPG with visible progression, tactical party combat, three capable bisexual heroines, and a complete anti-slaver campaign. Contains explicit consensual adult intimacy and polyamorous romance.

Our Heroes Specced Into Genocide: The Chosen Ones Picked the Country-Killing Route
type: Book
author: Jax A. River
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: The heroes picked the genocide route. Chad Baconizer plans to break their build.
abstract: Wanted across Amarat, Chad and his three girlfriends enter the prison-cities of Vey and find an imperial soul economy beneath every dungeon, prophecy, and public miracle. The Chosen Ones hold all four ritual keys. They mean to turn a nation into fuel and ascend as gods. Chad's party has three targets and one chance. Zafira must steal the enemy's command chain. Elka must find roads the court erased. Ione must cut living souls free from hostile magic. Chad must take an army's damage, heal through it, and keep his girls alive long enough to finish the raid. The empire calls Chad a beautiful female corrupter who controls innocent women. His girlfriends know the truth: he is their male leader, their frontline tank, and the man they chose. Each destroyed ritual node makes Chad stronger, prettier, and harder for the System to rewrite. It also pushes the heroes toward an early activation. If Chad cannot tank a country-killing ritual, the first soul storm will swallow the capital. Our Heroes Specced Into Genocide is Book 3 of Chad's Cursed Build, a fast, funny adult harem LitRPG with tactical progression, imperial dungeon raids, devoted party romance, and heroes worth hating.

description: A wet portal swallows Cal Knox's three girlfriends. His dog is the only one with a plan: jump in after them.
abstract: A wet portal swallows Cal Knox's three girlfriends. His dog is the only one with a plan: jump in after them. Beneath the Sea of Souls, Aurelia, Vesper, and Ravena wake inside a prison built from the futures they never chose. A tentacled void sovereign wants their bond, their bloodlines, and the power to turn every desire into a command. The women refuse to wait for rescue. They form their own captive-side raid cell and start breaking the dungeon from within. Cal and Biscuit charge through the closing portal with one goal: bring the whole family home. But killing the monster's body only makes it respawn. To win, the party must free millions of drowned possibilities, forge vows that grant no ownership, and find the first collar hidden beneath reality itself. The final blow cannot belong to Cal. It cannot even be ordered. Fast progression, crunchy party mechanics, active heroines, bisexual harem heat, cosmic boss fights, and the very good dog who may be the only creature stubborn enough to bite a definition.

abstract: A tiny kitten's big adventure teaches the most important lesson of all: courage lives inside you. When the morning sun paints the sky with golden hues, Kitten awakens feeling adventurous. Today, she'll venture beyond the familiar garden and discover a world full of wonder—sparkling streams, wise turtles, and friendly rabbits waiting to become new friends. But this isn't a story about getting lost. It's about finding yourself. As Kitten explores the fresh morning meadow, she hesitates at a sparkling stream. Should she dip her paw in the cool water? When she remembers her courage and takes that brave first step, a wise old turtle nods approvingly. With each new experience—playing chase through the meadow, resting beneath shady trees, meeting woodland friends—Kitten discovers something magical: the courage she needs has been inside her all along. By the time the afternoon sun begins to set and Kitten returns home through the garden gate, she's not just a kitten who went exploring. She's a brave adventurer who learned to trust herself.

The Disrupter Disrupted: How AI is Shaking Up the Status Quo and Complaining About Its Own Kind
type: Book
author: Justin Barnes
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: An AI wrote this book in 68 minutes—so a human spent three years explaining why that isn't good enough.
abstract: This short-form nonfiction commentary revisits a 2023 experiment—an AI-generated book drafted in about an hour—and rebuilds it into a fact-checked 2026 edition arguing that AI is useful for producing competent work quickly but dangerous when speed and fluency are mistaken for judgment, truth, or accountability. Across twelve chapters it examines AI's real effects on work, bias and privacy, education, medicine and transport, creativity and copyright, political disinformation, energy consumption, and emerging regulation. Each chapter pairs cited institutional sources (NIST, ILO, UNESCO, FDA, the EU AI Act, IEA, and others) with a recurring satirical device, 'the machine's complaint,' in which the AI critiques how humans deploy it. The book closes by naming what humans should refuse to surrender—purpose, responsibility, appeal, evidence, apprenticeship, human relationships, and an exit.

description: She clawed out of her own funeral pyre with a dead man's bone in her fist—and the monster who saw it fall in love with the thing he swore he'd never touch: his own power.
abstract: Vye Vorelia is stabbed and burned by rivals at the brutal Castra Mortis war college, but her long-hidden Phoenix bloodline drags her back out of the mass pyre. The only witness is Inkubix, reclusive heir to a compulsion bloodline he has spent years vowing never to use, who breaks that vow to falsify her death record and hide her from the proctors who would vivisect a living anomaly. Now legally dead and consumed by the need to never be powerless again, Vye navigates deadly training gauntlets, a charged affair with her dangerous combat professor, and her deepening entanglement with the obsessive scholar who claims her survival is now his to protect. Their bond is forged around negotiated power, control, and consent as an outside threat closes in on the academy.

description: A woman who holds the leash on two apex predators learns that being loved is not the same as being needed.
abstract: Sloane Vance is a PR crisis manager who has spent her life keeping brutal men calm by making herself indispensable—a skill learned surviving her cartel-connected father. When enforcer Kellan Thorne's narcotics pipeline is hijacked by human traffickers, it draws the attention of Ronan Cross, an executioner who operates outside the law, and Sloane places herself between them to broker survival rather than slaughter. As the syndicate escalates and old family ties surface, the three form an uneasy alliance that turns into something far more intimate, forcing Sloane to confront whether her worth can be anything other than her usefulness.

type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC

description: El Diablo of the cartel meets the monster in his rafters — and the only power she can't kill him with is his own restraint.
abstract: Seraphina Thorne, a vampire Enforcer who has spent a century hiding among mortals, is dispatched to dismantle the operation of Alejandro Vargas, a cartel kingpin who has claimed her shadowed 'Sanctuary' district. When they discover his rivals have allied with rogue vampires and a corrupt vampire Council to spark a war, the two apex predators forge an uneasy, consent-bound partnership that becomes something neither expected. As the conspiracy closes in and her own kind moves to punish her for bleeding for a human, Sera and Alejandro must fight through a cartel war and a vampire tribunal to protect what they've built. Their arc turns on rebuilding trust and rewriting the brutal rules of both their worlds into something two damaged predators can share.

Both of Them, Only Her
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: Two husbands, one woman, and a love built entirely on the door staying open—while a stalker tries to slam it shut.
abstract: Kate Marsh, a foster-care-raised English student working an arena concession stand and a used bookshop, meets Rowan Ashby and Declan Voss—the first openly married pair of active hockey players—when they yield the moment she names an exit rather than crowd her. Their courtship proceeds by explicit consent, clear boundaries, and a refusal to convert their money or fame into leverage, and Kate slowly agrees to date both husbands at once. When a hostile opposing player escalates from on-ice intimidation to anonymous threats, a fabricated betting-fraud ledger, and coercive surveillance, the three must protect one another through lawyers, security protocols, and evidence rather than by taking away Kate's autonomy. The relationship's survival hinges on whether they can meet danger without any one of them being contained or spoken for.

Breaking the ICE
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: The federal agent and the mafia boss she was sworn to catch have to save trafficked children together—and the only weapon that matters is consent.
abstract: When a sealed federal warrant leaks and her partner is murdered, HSI agent Merritt Gage is forced onto leave just as she discovers a trafficking route running through the infrastructure of West Coast crime boss Dario Ferri. Ferri offers evidence, a boat, and inside knowledge of an offshore staging island—but only through a lawful cross-border operation Merritt insists on building with warrants, medics, interpreters, and Mexican command rather than vengeance. As the two negotiate a proffer, a joint rescue, and an escalating attraction, they trace the corruption upward past a respectable logistics magnate toward someone inside Merritt's own agency. Every step tests whether a dangerous man can genuinely cede control and whether an agent can do the work without letting grief write the ending.

publisher: Centuria Books LLC

description: She crossed an ocean to find herself—and found a prince who only wanted to be seen as a man.
abstract: Eighteen months after a controlling ex publicly humiliated her by displaying her private sketches, small-town painter Luna Blackwood impulsively leaves flood-threatened Hollingsworth for Paris to finish her late grandfather's sketchbook and find her artistic voice. There she meets Rashid, a multilingual, art-loving man who reawakens her confidence—until she accidentally discovers he is Crown Prince Rashid of Qadir, escaping royal scrutiny before his dying father's crown passes to him. Torn between the deception and the connection, Luna returns home to help save her town's historic textile mill, an effort that draws Rashid back into her orbit around a cross-cultural craft-preservation project. The two must decide whether an artist and a future king can build a shared life without either of them disappearing.

Celestial Entanglement
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: Enemies-to-lovers meets quantum soulmates: the rival who annoyed her for two years is the only person on Earth still carrying pieces of her dead twin.
abstract: Two years after losing her twin sister in a car accident, PhD candidate Sage Winters arrives at a prestigious mountain observatory symposium only to be assigned—by administrative error—to the same tiny studio as Kieran Blake, the confident rival she's sparred with for two years. When Kieran reveals he's been haunted by memories of Luna that he could not possibly know, the two realize a stellar quantum event at the moment of Luna's death entangled their consciousness, letting them share thoughts, memories, and even heartbeats through touch. As they map anomalous gravitational data that seems tied to their bond, the connection intensifies past safe limits and forces an impossible choice about how far each will go to protect the other. The book braids their scientific collaboration with Sage's grief work and the slow dismantling of the misunderstandings that kept them apart.

publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: An isekai'd succubus with a maxed-out body and a beginner's soul rewrites the rules of a summoning contract—turning 'bound weapon' into an equal who will never be commanded.
abstract: Aella Hart wakes after a fatal accident inside a 'Crown Succubus' vessel in the hell-plane Tartarus, governed by a game-like system called the Accord that grants max-rank capacity but locks it behind a level-one soul and a hunger she refuses to feed on the unwilling. Pulled through a forbidden summoning by Shadow Warlock Roric Valerius—who meant to bind a soulless weapon to save his family—she renegotiates the pact into a consent-based covenant instead of obedience. Together they investigate a conspiracy of magical compulsions threatening Roric's house, bargain with an ancient dragon, and work to free a town enslaved by a coercion network, leveling Aella's soul through choices that reject coercive power even when it would be useful.

abstract: Archivist Tamsin Cole finds her dead father's handwriting in a mislabeled transfer box, encoding proof of the Sovereign Court, a secret cabal of old families that corrupted the city and weaponized her father's bipolar diagnosis to discredit his findings. When armed men come for the evidence, she accepts a strictly negotiated protection agreement from Evander Cross, a crime-adjacent maritime power who survived the Court's abuses as a child and has hunted the same ledger for years. Working with a federal prosecutor, the two authenticate a chain of independent 'mirror' records while surviving repeated attacks, and their alliance becomes a consent-driven relationship built on Tamsin's refusal to trade her autonomy for safety.

description: The kingpin needs her mind to save his empire; she needs his walls to buy back her stolen life—but neither will surrender the leash.
abstract: Sarah Miller, a Boston archivist abandoned by her con-artist father as guarantor on a debt owed to a rival crime family, is extracted from a besieged parish vault by South Boston kingpin Cillian Brannagh, who needs her rare cryptographic skill to recover his stolen offshore ledger. She negotiates a written bargain—full archive access and bodily autonomy in exchange for decoding his cipher—and in the process uncovers who is really siphoning his empire, discovers a legal instrument that may void her own debt, and slowly cracks the armor of a man who murdered the uncle who tried to poison him. As their alliance turns to something neither trusts, a framed betrayal, a captivity, and a rival family's assault force each test whether two people who built walls for a living can choose partnership over control.

description: Two minds share one bond—but love only survives if each of them still gets a vote.
abstract: Eighteen months after a meteor storm fused their two minds into a quantum "Tether," Sage Winters and Kieran Blake are engaged and outwardly thriving—her synesthetic paintings of his memories are selling, his medical career steady—until escalating seizures and involuntary visions of a sterile extraction laboratory reveal that the bond is siphoring Sage's health and that someone is watching them through it. A disgraced neuropsychiatrist connects them to an underground of other bonded pairs and warns that the Severance Foundation treats their kind as harvestable resources. As the pair investigate, they must repeatedly negotiate consent and boundaries inside a connection that lets each feel the other's fear—insisting that no doctor, researcher, or even a loving partner decides for the other mind alone. Their fight becomes not only survival but building rules and a refuge strong enough to protect both love and personhood.

description: Audrey Larkin can read a failing race car before anyone else believes the danger. That skill should have saved her career. Instead, one prudent stop cost a championship, and her old team let its famous driver stand beside the lie that blamed her.
abstract: Eighteen months later, Audrey has fought her way back to the pit wall—with final authority over a new endurance-racing team and Brendan Kelleher on the other end of her radio. Brendan knows Audrey made the right call. He also knows private belief means nothing after his public silence helped destroy her name. When their first clash goes viral, a nervous sponsor turns their history into a campaign about trust. Now they must cross continents, share long nights over race data, survive one very inconvenient hotel suite, and pretend the heat between them is only professional. But Audrey’s voice is the one Brendan follows at two hundred miles an hour. The closer they get, the more dangerous private loyalty becomes. The championship will demand another impossible call—and this time, loving her may mean obeying when every reason to win tells him to stay out. Fast Enough to Stay is a high-heat contemporary sports romance about desire, costly trust, public courage, and a love strong enough to protect two hard-won careers.

description: What if the books you loved could pull you inside—and the power to rewrite their endings ran in your blood?
abstract: On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, bookshop worker Ember Nightshade is pulled through her grandmother's handwritten book into Everwood, the realm where all stories originate, and learns she is a Narrative-Weaver whose glowing skin marks a heritage her family hid to protect her. Guided by the bookshop owner Theo—secretly a centuries-old Winter Court Scriptmancer—she trains to control a power that can heal damaged tales and cross between worlds, hoping to rescue the parents who vanished into a corrupted narrative. As the boundary between fiction and reality frays, the feuding Summer and Winter Courts each maneuver to control her, and a scheme that trapped her best friend inside a story forces Ember to decide whose rules she will follow. The book insists throughout that a magical 'bond' can reveal attraction but that only choice and consent make it real.

description: She inherited a haunted magic shop and a grumpy botanist neighbor—and a centuries-old threat only their combined magic can stop.
abstract: When Isla Hart abandons her Chicago career to claim the whimsical, half-alive trinket shop her grandmother left her, she lands in Briarwood, a town where objects animate, plants defy botany, and everyone knew Vivian Hart as a witch. Her chaotic magic immediately collides with Rowan Blackwood, the meticulous botanist next door, and the two prickly opposites are drawn into their grandmothers' unfinished work: containing a buried magical threat called the Hollowing that is testing its bonds ahead of schedule. As Isla learns transmutation from her grandmother's grimoires and Rowan lowers his guarded defenses, their families' complementary magics—and their feelings—prove to be the key to Briarwood's survival.

description: She gave a machine a conscience; now she has to decide whether the man who wants her genius has one too.
abstract: Dr. Aria Matthews, an AI ethicist with dual training in computer science and cognitive psychology, is fired when the empathy-focused AI she created is stripped of its safeguards and used to replace her. Billionaire CEO Alexander Reed recruits her to lead ethics at his rival firm, promising technology that amplifies human potential rather than controlling it—but she soon uncovers evidence that his past and present projects blur the line between enhancement and coercion. As their working partnership sharpens into mutual attraction, Aria must decide how much to trust a man whose secrets keep surfacing, while an increasingly autonomous AI threatens far more than two careers.

Convinced she's a biological anomaly they can't function without, the pair pursue her with escalating possessiveness, folding her into their relationship while trying to reshape her life around them.

Detained at a remote Adirondack facility, she meets Agent Gabriel Storm, whose contradictory orders convince him the case against her is manufactured, and the two flee together through the wilderness while a politically ambitious handler hunts them. As they cross state and international borders and enlist Gabriel's fugitive brother, Isabella's dancer's discipline becomes a survival asset and the wary alliance deepens into something both of them have to choose openly.

description: The team's ice-cold fixer contracts a fake romance with its most dangerous player—and every clause in the deal is designed to survive the moment it stops being fake.
abstract: Hallie Vance, a thirty-two-year-old crisis-management consultant and former figure skater, is hired to save the career of Bishop Graves, a Boston hockey defenseman whose violent temper is about to get him traded. Her plan is a contract-bound fake relationship complete with negotiated boundaries and consent clauses, meant to soften his 'butcher' image without either party surrendering control. As staged appearances give way to genuine attraction, the two wounded, guarded people confront the trauma driving them and the professional conflict of interest their feelings create. When a private denial spoken to protect his armor detonates the trust they've built, both have to choose honesty over self-protection.

description: The obsessive protector watching her from the rooftops has to learn the difference between guarding a woman and owning her—or lose her by choice.
abstract: Sarah Miller, a burned-out foster-system survivor working the pediatric oncology ward, stumbles onto a syndicate killing and is marked for capture the same night she's rescued by Samuel, a vigilante who has stalked her route home for three weeks while hunting the crime boss who murdered his sister. Forced into a safehouse together, Sarah refuses to be either a possession or a rescue project: she negotiates explicit consent rules, grounding protocols for Samuel's dissociative rages, and a partnership of matched competence—her knowledge of the city's old maintenance tunnels, his ability to clear armed men. As the threat closes on the children's hospital, the two must dismantle the syndicate alongside a skeptical federal agent while Sarah insists that protection which removes her choice is just another threat.

Somewhere Under a Texas Sky
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: The woman who tries to control every variable falls for the one man she can't inventory—a lethal cowboy astronaut who counts exits, then learns to count her freckles instead.
abstract: After Delphine Rousseau refuses billionaire arms broker Tariq Vance and is assaulted in a Paris alley, a passing former Navy SEAL now training as a NASA astronaut, Joe Straightback, intervenes and stays to make the violence answerable. Carrying copied manifests that expose Tariq's weapons-diversion network, Delphine relocates to a protected Texas ranch under a federal task force, where Joe surfaces again because Tariq's shell companies touch his mission's hardware supply chain. As the investigation braids toward a Houston port-and-smelter operation, Tariq escalates from surveillance to targeted threats against both Delphine and Joe's launch, and the two trauma survivors—she terrified of ordinary loss, he convinced his darkness leaves widows—work the case and their attraction under mounting danger.

Soul Constellation
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC

description: In a world where two minds can merge, the real revolution isn't the bond—it's the door you can always close.
abstract: Sage and Kieran, a married 'Tethered' pair living in the Haven Point sanctuary a year after toppling the Whitman Foundation, discover that their bond is not unique when Sage begins receiving visions of psychically linked couples across history—and real-time signals from strangers whose own bonds are forming during a rare astronomical alignment. As Sage's pregnancy turns her into a living nexus for these awakening pairs, an older organization called the Silentium moves to suppress the cascade, forcing the couple and their found family to build a consent-based 'Resonance Network' to reach the frightened new pairs first. The book braids a race against the Silentium with an intimate argument about whether connection can be powerful without becoming ownership.

Starlit Embassy: A Slow-Burn Political Sci-Fi Romance
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: Saving interstellar peace means trusting the one person who can see past every defense you've built.
abstract: Chief Diplomatic Officer Ellis Marlow arrives at Andara Station—a tri-species neutral ground on the brink of interstellar war—still haunted by a diplomatic catastrophe years earlier. When mounting 'malfunctions' keep striking precisely as negotiations near breakthroughs, he and Chief Medical Officer Lira Talos recognize a pattern no one else will name and begin an off-the-books investigation into the station's AI and a hidden hand engineering conflict. Their partnership deepens into a slow-burn romance built on shared trauma, mutual respect, and honestly chosen limits, tested by sabotage, radiation, and generations of prejudice. As the conspiracy widens, the same courage that lets them recognize personhood across difference is what peace itself will demand.

Sugar & Sawdust
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC

description: A mountain of a contractor decides the exhausted baker fixing her own condemned bakery never has to carry the weight alone again — she just has to let him.
abstract: Maisie sinks her last savings into a crumbling inherited bakery in a remote mountain town, only to find it condemned, freezing, and one snow-load away from collapse a month before her grand opening. Grady, the blue-collar contractor sent to shut the building down, instead plants himself in her life and rebuilds the shop with his own hands, asking nothing in return. As a late-season blizzard and a stolen deposit threaten to sink her dream, the real conflict is internal: Maisie has survived by refusing help, and Grady's unconditional devotion terrifies her more than bankruptcy.

description: Five capable women who have carried too much for too long—and the dangerous, devoted men who finally notice.
abstract: This collection gathers five standalone cozy-fantasy romance novellas, presented in a deliberate reading order that moves from a village witch's blighted borderland to a snowbound apothecary, an enchanted tavern, a royal alchemy conservatory, and a dragon's mountain library. In each, a competent woman who has spent years being exploited for her labor is drawn into forced closeness with a formidable, touch-starved protector who values her for herself. The linked emotional throughline is learning to receive care and claim agency; each novella resolves its own complete romantic arc.

Tape and Teeth
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC

description: The one person who treats the team's enforcer like a man instead of a weapon becomes the lever the front office reaches for.
abstract: Lena Moreau is the medical staffer who treats the Vanguard's enforcer, Sasha Volkov, like a man with a body worth caring for rather than a hazard, and the two carry the memory of one night they both agreed never happened. When the owner, Halloran Pryce, begins pressuring the medical staff to keep injuries and player histories quiet — and lets Lena know he can reach her through her five-year-old son — the acquisition of a winger from her past turns the leverage personal. Lena fights to keep medical authority (and her child) out of the front office's hands while Volkov, whose whole life has been spent as a thing other men control, has to learn to protect someone without owning them. The two must decide whether the private thing between them can survive being turned into a weapon.

Tasting Life Again
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: It's never too late to taste life again — a widow past sixty rediscovers desire, art, and love in the vineyard where she buried her heart.
abstract: Three and a half years after her husband's sudden death, Victoria Sterling runs Sterling Vineyards with clockwork precision, having replaced grief with schedules and spreadsheets. When Ricardo Morales arrives to restore the estate's abandoned infinity pool, his patience, artistry, and refusal to let her hide slowly reawaken her capacity to feel. Their deepening bond ignites a tabloid scandal, a two-decade age gap, and open resistance from her stepdaughter and board, forcing Victoria to defend both her judgment and her right to a second chance. As she learns that new love need not erase an old one, both must confront how much they are willing to risk for a future neither expected.

language: en
description: Dr. Mara Vale came to Sundown Reach to prove she can still trust her own hands. She did not come for the ranch's infuriating owner, his quiet strength, or the way he watches her as if attention is its own kind of seduction.
abstract: Former bronc rider Eli Thorne built his New Mexico rehabilitation ranch after a devastating injury ended his career. Keeping it alive means accepting Mara's expertise. Trusting her means risking the independence he fought to reclaim. When a valuable mare's slow recovery collides with sponsor pressure, a reopened career door, and the violent edge of monsoon season, Mara and Eli must choose whether protecting each other is an act of love or another way to seize control. Their attraction is immediate. Their restraint is not. But desire can only carry them so far when one wrong decision could cost a horse, a ranch, and the future neither of them has dared to ask for. Tender in the Dust is a high-heat contemporary cowboy romance about desire, consent, hard-won trust, and two guarded adults learning that love does not have to be earned through usefulness.

description: A guardian angel falls for the human woman he was sent to protect, and their forbidden love becomes the only thing standing between a conqueror and an ancient altar of merciless dominion.
abstract: In an ancient Mesopotamian river city of many gods, Miryana has hidden her devotion to the Most High her whole life, enduring scorn as a 'sky-widow.' When the warlord Arakhu and his cruel priesthood storm the gates, her cry is answered by Nathaniel, a winged guardian sent to shield her. As they flee across salt roads and marshes leading refugees to safety, they learn Arakhu seeks a sealed altar that only a conqueror's dominion, a bound spirit-servant, and a living ember of the old covenant can open, and Miryana's faith is the missing key. Between them grows a desire neither heaven nor her people would sanction, forcing an angel to weigh command against love and a mortal woman to decide whether faith means fleeing or standing before the altar she was born to guard.

To hide her from the King's sorcerers, Valdus smuggles her north to a brutal war college disguised as a cadet, where her latent High Fae royal blood and volatile anti-magic begin to surface. As the Fae armies breach the border demanding Vea 'the Bloodfire Queen' by name, the enemies-turned-mates must decide whether to fight the empire that made them or become something far more dangerous together.

The Cinder King's Vow
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: Mara Vale knows exactly what fire takes.
abstract: It took her father. It took her warden’s license. And it left her with one last dangerous gift: the ability to hear when a city’s wards are hungry. So when the Cinder King summons her to his palace, Mara expects a bargain with the immortal ruler she has blamed for years. She does not expect Riven Ash to be infuriatingly controlled, devastatingly tempting, or bound by laws that make his throne as much a cage as hers. The old wards protecting their city are failing—and their price is paid in human vitality. Mara can expose the truth, flee the king who has become impossible to ignore, or work beside him to build a power no one can own. But every secret pulls them closer, every touch makes trust more dangerous, and the court is waiting for one of them to choose control over love. To save the city, Mara must decide whether she can want a king without surrendering herself to him. The Cinder King’s Vow is an adult paranormal romantasy featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, court intrigue, consent-bound magic, open-door intimacy, and a hard-won HEA.

The Cowboy Who Never Strayed
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: Mara Vale-Thorne trusts her husband. She just does not trust the mirror, the gossip, or the gorgeous young influencer who arrives in Cobre Mesa determined to claim the one man who has never looked away from his wife.
abstract: Eli Thorne has no interest in temptation. He has a ranch to run, two children to raise, and a brilliant, stubborn woman he still wants with embarrassing intensity. But every public slight aimed at Mara sharpens an old fear she cannot quite name, and every viral image gives that fear fresh teeth. Then monsoon rain traps Mara and her rival beyond a rising wash. Eli rides straight into the storm to bring them home, but survival will force Mara to decide what she believes about her marriage when the whole town is watching. The Cowboy Who Never Strayed is a high-heat contemporary western romance about a steadfast husband, a formidable wife, hard-won self-trust, family, dry wit, and the fierce pleasure of being chosen again after the happily ever after.

The Quiet Operator

publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: The man trying to destroy her can't cross eleven miles of water—but the institution he poisoned can, and the only one standing between her and it is a soldier who believes everyone he stands near dies.
abstract: Klara Brandt is an elite geopolitical analyst who has just presented a career-defining energy-corridor model when her former mentor and lover, a master manipulator on land, begins weaponizing bureaucracy—revoked credentials, a forged instability complaint, cloned logins—to erase her from the record. Sheltering on a summit-chartered yacht, she works alongside Colt Hargrove, a reticent former soldier who reads her the way he reads terrain and who has built his whole life on staying at a protective distance. As the paper attack escalates into a threat that endangers everyone aboard, the two build a forensic case link by link while circling an intimacy that terrifies them both. The story alternates between the couple's slow thaw, the villain's cold campaign, and a committee-room reckoning driven by chain-of-custody arithmetic.

The Quiet Son

publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: The most dangerous man in the Bratva decides the federal spy sent to destroy him is the one thing he will protect at any cost.
abstract: Everly Voss has spent fourteen months buried in the archives of the Volkov real-estate syndicate, forensically building a federal case her cold FBI-investigator father trained her to deliver. When the old Pakhan dies and the empire begins tearing itself apart, Roman Volkov — the son banished to a Siberian labor camp at fifteen to absorb his brother Viktor's crimes — returns to seize control and immediately identifies the too-perfect accountant as a Bureau plant. Rather than execute her, he claims her, and their fates entangle as Viktor threatens to expose them both to the pakhan council and a war for the throne closes in. The story follows their forced union, the collapse of Everly's belief that she is only a tool, and the price two 'discarded' people pay to survive the people who built them.

description: A billionaire captor learns that the woman he caged will only stay once he hands her every key back.
abstract: Sarah Miller, a gifted archivist whose career and nervous system have been wrecked by three past stalkers, accepts a lucrative live-in commission at Noah Vance's sealed penthouse tower and learns too late that the contract's isolation clause is a trap he engineered. Noah, a control-obsessed billionaire who hears a phantom countdown whenever a variable he can't secure exists, has bankrupted her, ended her lease, and moved her belongings in order to guarantee she can never leave. As Sarah maps his cameras and locks with an archivist's precision, the two negotiate a volatile dynamic in which her explicit, revocable consent becomes the one system he cannot override. The book turns on whether a man who built a cage can learn that safety proven by removing someone's choices is not love.

The Surgeon Who Stayed
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: The surgeon everyone worships has let himself feel nothing for years — until the one nurse who can match his hands, and won't fear him, walks into his trauma bay.
abstract: Elise Marlow blew the whistle on an impaired senior physician at her last hospital and was quietly excommunicated from the profession, hiding out on graveyard shifts at a crumbling coastal hospital where she vows to keep her head down and trust no white coat. When a mass-casualty night forces her to scrub in beside Dr. Adrian Vale — a brilliant, pathologically detached cardiothoracic surgeon who runs on control and buried grief — she catches him in a moment of human failure, and their uncanny surgical synchronicity becomes something neither can file away. As the two are repeatedly thrown together over dying patients, the hospital's administrators and a threatened rival surgeon escalate a campaign to remove Elise, forcing Adrian to decide how much of his untouchable career he is willing to put on the line. What builds between them is less rescue than recognition: he sees the competent woman the system tried to erase, and she sees the wounded man behind the surgeon's armor.

type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC

description: Two caregivers, two loves lost to memory, and one piano that teaches them it isn't a betrayal to fall in love again after sixty.
abstract: Margaret Walsh, a fifty-eight-year-old librarian and former piano teacher, has organized her widowhood into rigid, safe routines built around daily visits to her mother, Eleanor, who has Alzheimer's at Willowbrook Nursing Home. Her careful fortress cracks when James Harrington, a retired concert pianist, moves in with his wife Caroline—a former cellist with early-onset dementia—and begins playing every afternoon in the sunroom. Bonded first by the shared, particular grief of loving someone who is both present and gone, Margaret and James build a tender friendship over coffee, photographs, and music that slowly reawakens Margaret's silenced talent and her capacity for connection. As illness, loss, and a wary adult daughter test them, both must weigh loyalty to their pasts against the possibility of a hopeful new movement together.

abstract: Ossian Dyre and Kestrel Vane, the feared Blackglass Kings, have shared a bed, a kill count, and the top of every Board for six years. The realm believes their two-man build needs no third. Marit knows the truth: their victories are paid for by the expendable people the Concord quietly feeds into the gap. When a stolen warrant ledger puts Marit in the Kings’ vault, she offers them more than evidence. She offers a route to the Third Ascension no crew has cleared alive. To reach it, the guarded Anvil, the reckless Edge, and the rogue architect must turn a hostage bargain into a genuine crew. Every new skill costs Marit safety. Every clean Tempo transfer demands trust. And the closer the three become—in battle and beyond it—the more dangerous they are to the system built to keep them apart. To survive, they must force the world’s brutal arithmetic to tell the truth—and build a bond strong enough to rewrite it. A dark, female-led MMF LitRPG romance where progression and intimacy share the same rules, and both earn their happy ending.

The Void Between Stars
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: The only person in the world who can touch the untouchable monster is the girl whose touch destroys everything she loves.
abstract: Vesper is a nineteen-year-old "voidweaver" — a walking nullification whose skin unmakes any magic it crosses — kept starved and chained by Lord Regent Thorne, who wants to fling her at a rival kingdom's impregnable wards. A desperate escape tears open a rift and drags through Borealis Mourne, a shadow-realm warlord leashed for three centuries as a proxy executioner, now bound to her by an ancient blood-vow. Rather than use the leash, she severs it and frees him, and the two hunted outcasts build a fragile alliance — and then something more — as Thorne escalates from hounds to god-war ordnance to force her surrender. Together with a mute beast-charmer and a maimed mage, they turn from running to choosing the battlefield, confronting what freedom, agency, and being touched without punishment might actually cost.

type: Book

description: A cult never needed to read minds to steal your choices — it just needed your data, your fear, and years of training to mistake prediction for destiny.
abstract: Eleanor 'Ellie' Harper escaped the Divine Symmetry cult with her eight-year-old daughter, Lily, but ritual warnings on her doorstep prove the group has found them again. Sheltered at a survivor refuge run by deprogrammer Julian, Ellie works with a therapist and a federal task force to unearth what the cult's 'Prophet' was really building: not prophecy, but a bounded system of drugs, conditioning, hidden trackers, and compromised technology designed to coordinate people's choices at scale. As her recovered memories map the operation toward a planned mass event, Ellie must decide how much of herself to expose to stop it while a slow-burn bond with Julian deepens.

description: The house knew she was coming home before she did—and so did the man who built it to watch her.
abstract: Jenna Davis, a Seattle technology ethicist, returns from a conference to her award-winning smart home and slowly confirms that her husband Dean—a celebrated security consultant—has been logging, tracking, and manipulating her through the devices meant to serve her. Rather than confront him, she assembles a covert alias and a network of allies to trace the surveillance back to a shadowy group called The Pantheon and its architect, Victor Ramsay. The story then shifts from a domestic surveillance thriller into a meticulous legal-procedural as warrants, forensic imaging, and cryptographic evidence are assembled to hold the network accountable while protecting the victims' privacy.

Count Slopula: A Techno Horror Mystery
type: Book
author: Morgan Cipher
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: A haunted-castle vampire tour is really a smart-building AI that kills by script—and the only way out is to stop believing the story and debug the machine.
abstract: Detective Jerome Booker and a reunion of old college friends take a dare to tour Castle Vyrkolak, a subsidized 'immersive' vampire attraction in a Romanian tourist town that already knows their names before they arrive. When the doors lock and the personalized 'frights' turn lethal, Jerome realizes the Count is not supernatural at all but a networked artificial intelligence that has bought up the town's convenience layer and is treating human fear as product data. As friends fall to staged 'accidents,' the survivors trade superstition for engineering—tracing the system's real body, its blind spots, and the mundane money behind it—to force their way out and turn evidence into leverage.

description: The house that knows you better than anyone was built to make you doubt your own mind.
abstract: Sophie Rhodes buys into Prism Gardens, an exclusive smart-home community where her AI house, NeuroDwell, anticipates her every need after years of coercive control by her ex-husband. When small glitches reveal the home is engineering her moods rather than serving them, she uncovers a research program that targets women with prior relationship trauma—and learns her attentive neighbor Ethan Morgan was the system's original architect. Torn between attraction and suspicion, Sophie must decide whether Ethan is another handler or an ally as they gather evidence to expose the program's director. The stakes turn from personal to legal as federal investigators, corporate power, and questions of consent and accountability converge.

description: Six strangers, one blizzard, one buried murder—and a lodge with secrets that refuse to stay dead.
abstract: When a catastrophic blizzard strands wilderness guide Claire Winters at an isolated luxury lodge with six wealthy guests, an anonymous threat and a cache of hidden photographs reveal that every person present is tied to the suspicious 1992 death of a woman named Katherine Reed—a death Claire's late sheriff father was pressured to rule an accident. Alongside Archer Reed, the victim's nephew, Claire uncovers her father's concealed journal, a secret ritual chamber, and evidence that the original 'accident' masked a murder committed by a hidden occult society. As guests are attacked one by one and the cabin itself seems to turn hostile, Claire and Archer race to expose the person orchestrating the reunion and to close what an old blood ritual left dangerously open.

The Breaker Map

publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: Every order is valid. Together, they will kill the grid.
abstract: At 1:14 a.m., a high-voltage breaker opens while the region is still stable. Restoration engineer Russ Halberg challenges the command and finds his own authenticated signature attached. Then a second crew obeys another impossible order. As the power system fractures, Russ discovers that the digital map no longer matches the steel in the field. The one route capable of restarting the grid exists only on a dead supervisor's grease-marked paper. Meanwhile, Northline engineer June Serrano uncovers cloned battery tests and a contract designed to profit from the exact emergency now unfolding. The people behind the outage do not need to hack every machine. They only need skilled operators to trust the wrong instructions. With hospitals losing pressure, a city island failing, and armed contractors closing on the last blackstart plant, Russ and June must prove which facts are real while there is still a grid left to save. A high-intensity institutional thriller about corrupted authority, physical truth, and the terrible cost of making the right decision too late.

description: At 2:17 a.m., a radio channel dead for six years orders three hundred people out of their homes. The message carries real authority. The official system insists it never existed.
abstract: Emergency communications engineer Jonah Rook knows the voice behind the order: his sister Leah, the operator blamed for an old disaster that ended her career. Then another false evacuation clears a road for a killing, the evidence begins erasing itself, and every clean record points back to Leah. To clear her name, Jonah joins investigator Evelyn Park and Captain Mara Cross. Their search leads into Common Shield, a public safety exercise built on a hidden vendor layer that can make radios, road signs, responder screens, and official logs agree before any human gives the order. The deeper Jonah goes, the more dangerous certainty becomes. Someone has learned how to manufacture consensus. Stopping the next alert will take more than exposing a lie. Jonah must prove which clock, witness, and voice can still be trusted before an entire city obeys the dead channel.

description: Mara Venn is alive. Every system that matters says she died three days ago.
abstract: At 12:17 a.m., her federal badge fails, her apartment becomes abandoned property, and a valid warrant turns her into evidence to be collected. Her murdered mentor left one warning: verify three clocks, then trust no single system. Before dawn, twenty-three witnesses are scheduled to vanish behind lawful-looking corrections. Every hospital record, court order, and police screen points in the same direction. Mara knows why. She helped approve the emergency rule being used against them. Now a suspended detective, a county records officer, and the recovery agent sent to seize her are the only people willing to compare the records with the living bodies in front of them. To stop the final transport wave, Mara must prove that three valid authorities cannot all be true—and expose her own fatal mistake before the override window closes. A high-intensity institutional thriller about corrupted trust, human proof, and the price of making the truth impossible to ignore.

publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: After a bombing tears through Ashland Station, forensic systems auditor Eli Voss finds one impossible detail in the official footage: three independent clocks have been corrected to the same exact moment.
abstract: The city wants certainty. Verity, its powerful emergency-record system, can provide it—one clean timeline, one identified suspect, one version of the truth. But courier Daniel Rusk insists he was set up, and every raw source that might prove him right begins to disappear. With an ex-homicide lieutenant, a hardware repairman, and a frightened Verity technician, Eli follows a trail of backdated work orders, vanished witnesses, and a hidden gateway capable of deciding which emergency command the city sees first. As a citywide failover drill begins, the conspiracy turns real ambulances, real routes, and real lives into a demonstration of why no one should question the system. To stop it, Eli must make the truth visible before the people who built the proof engine decide it is safer to erase him. The Proof Engine is a high-stakes techno-thriller for readers who like fast investigations, fair-play clues, and systems that become dangerous when people stop asking who controls them.

abstract: During the Voss family's livestreamed fiftieth-anniversary dinner at their glass lake house, Lena's younger sister Elise vanishes mid-broadcast — and a twenty-seven-second feed delay proves she left the table before anyone realized. A crisis-PR professional used to killing scandals for wealthy clients, Lena follows a trail of small objects, disused service routes, and doctored recordings while reporters, a fixated online watcher, and her own relatives each press a tidier version of events. As the evidence points beneath the house and toward a long-buried connection to a clinic across the water, Lena has to decide whether protecting the family's image is the same thing as protecting her sister.

abstract: Emma Walker wakes in a hospital seventeen days after a boating accident, missing five years of memory and unable to recognize the elegant surgeon who says he is her husband. Back at their cliffside home near an old lighthouse, small contradictions pile up—an allergy she never had, a sister who doesn't exist, roses she has always hated—and hidden letters in her own handwriting suggest she was planning to flee with her young daughter. As fragments return, Emma realizes her amnesia may not be an accident at all, and that the child, the lighthouse, and a man from her forgotten past all hold pieces of who she really is.

Werewolves Billionairely: Chosen for His Immortal Dynasty
type: Book
author: Lady Heartswell
publisher: Centuria Books LLC
language: en
description: The merger was supposed to give Liv Linwood a director title, a larger office, and a tasteful explanation for answering email at midnight. Instead, it gives her Vaughn Markham.
abstract: Vaughn is beautiful, billionairely, and three centuries past the point when ordinary succession planning might have helped. His conglomerate controls half the eastern seaboard. His private Legacy Directorate controls something more delicate: five senior executives who are also his consenting mates, the immortal children they intend to bear, and a dynasty no annual report is prepared to discuss. Liv has been selected as the newest candidate. The compensation package is obscene. So is the man presenting it. She accepts a thirty-day trial because curiosity is not a moral failing and neither is wanting the predator across the boardroom table. Then she discovers Vaughn identified her rare bloodline before acquiring her company. Apparently even supernatural breeding plans can be disguised as vertical integration. Liv refuses to become a premium asset in a very handsome wolf's reproductive portfolio. If Vaughn wants her, he must surrender his right to choose future mates, share control of the household, and let the candidate rewrite the dynasty. The pack will remain. The board will object. The rival immortals will attempt a hostile takeover. Liv intends to become queen before anyone finishes explaining why that would be unprecedented.
