The Ways We Follow (Book 1 of Off The Ways Duology) by L. Salt
St. Petersburg, Russia, 20XX
Laura Danco, a young talented designer, returns to her favourite city after studying and working in the UK. She’s excited to meet her best friends, but soon her happiness turns bitter.
Friends tell Laura about a new controlling institution, the Department of Censorship. All media sources are under control, the opposition is destroyed completely, minorities are under threat. Everyone who resists is obliterated.
Laura tries to push her life back on track—friends, relationships, travels, parties… Everything changes when a reputable design company employs her as an assistant to a dangerously attractive, scandalous architect, Daniel Polanskiy, whose ambitious and outstanding projects don’t comply with the government views and its dictated taste.
The situation becomes even more complicated, when Laura meets her uni-mate from the UK, Mark Evans. Completely lost between two absolutely different characters—friendly, amiable Mark and sophisticated, bad-tempered, but ingenious Daniel—she struggles to whom to give her heart.
The future looks bleak for Laura, as the company gets into trouble, when the Tax Office conducts a detailed financial audit, the Department gives Daniel the final warning, and one of Laura’s friends is killed. Going through so many challenges, will friends find their way to follow? Man, Made to Order by Victoria Kinkade
Leah is a successful executive who’s devoted everything to her career, only to find that success feels empty without someone to share it. When she gets a message advertising a sophisticated artificial human companion designed for intimate situations, she’s intrigued. Not that she thinks it’s a long-term solution, but loneliness drives her curiosity. After all, satisfaction is guaranteed.
When he arrives he’s so much more than she anticipated. She could never have never imagined that an artificial man would be the one to show her what is important in life.
He’s perfect.
Unfortunately, the world won’t tolerate perfection. Becoming Faust by J.R Sutton
It’s like the Devil’s Advocate and Constantine meets Fifty Shades, but with a good plot.
Wealth, fame, sex. Three different words but all share the same meaning, power. Bastian James Faust possesses all three. The City of Sin never sleeps, nor do the wicked. Journalist Atiana Halifax is about to discover this first hand when she steps into the sinful world of the famed mogul.
Present day.
A veil of darkness has slowly begun to shadow out the world, and the age-old battle of good versus evil has moved to a new playing field, Earth. The savage and the exiled that were forced into hiding by the light have re-emerged with the cover of night to reclaim the Earth that once was theirs. All appears bleak and lost until the fate of the world is heavily, and unexpectedly placed into the hands of a ballsy Las Vegas journalist named Atiana Halifax. Atiana embarks upon a visual journey that leads her into the sultry world and tormented past of one of the richest, most powerful men alive, Bastian James Faust, in hopes of finding the answer of how to bring back light. Can Atiana save the human race from genocide before it’s too late, and save herself from being drawn into the mysterious, sensual allure that is Bastian James?
Along Atiana’s dangerous journey, she is introduced to a collection of different characters, and supernatural beings that expose her to a world, and culture long ignored and unseen by the human race. Some are there to aid her in her quest, and others have been sent to stop her at any cost. As Atiana delves deeper into the methodical, provocative mind, and life of Bastian James Faust, she discovers more than she expected, sympathy for the Devil.

Sunshine: The Author’s Edition by Alyssa Cooper
When ozone levels plummeted, the world changed. There’s no going back.
This is a world where sunshine can kill. Where there are heavy steel shutters on every window, and underground tunnels for safe passage. Where citizens nourish themselves with synthetic vitamins and rationed food, living a life in darkness, never seeing the sun.
This is the only world that eighteen-year-old Manda has ever known. As this strong, passionate girl struggles to bloom in a hard and unforgiving world, she finds a single comfort; Jordy, a man who delicately shows her how beautiful life can be. But then the letter comes.
Everything is changing, all over again.
Manda will soon be evacuated from her home, transported across the country to a place where the days are shorter, where it still rains, where the sun is less deadly. There’s only one catch; Jordy may not be going with her.
She bides in agony, fighting to fit as much living into her last few weeks as she can, while she waits to learn if she will soon lose the only man she’s ever loved.
