And she just stole from the deadliest monster in the city. In the gray dust of a dystopian wasteland, Rissa lives by one rule: feed her family, or die trying. But when she scavenges a relic ring from the restricted zone, she draws the attention of the one creature she was taught to fear. Monster. Ten is the king of the Labyrinth—a brutal, hulking beast who rules the iron-walled fortress through blood and absolute discipline. He didn't come to the wasteland looking for a human woman.

But inside the cold stone walls, the power dynamic shifts. Rissa doesn't cower. She fights. And her defiance ignites a dark, possessive hunger in Ten that threatens the very foundation of his rule. By keeping Rissa for his own pleasure, Ten is breaking the laws of his kind.

It is NOT a romance. There is NOT a complete HEA. Please be aware before reading. It takes place after Delirium and before Screwed in the Everbound timeline. The ocean is dark and filled with mystery, but it’s not the only thing with secrets. Lucy Sodaro has always wanted to explore the ocean. She never thought it would turn into a career, and definitely not one with her childhood best friend, Tucker, by her side. But now both are marine biologists, living their best life, until Abyss – a private company with murky intentions – offers them the chance of a lifetime. Three months at the bottom of the ocean inside their submarine, the Siren. Lucy and Tucker jump at the opportunity to do what they both love. Explore, with no limits, and all expenses paid. But the childhood best friends aren’t prepared for everything they discover on the ocean floor. Captain Jack might be an experienced submariner, but he doesn’t seem to enjoy women being in his space. And Nathan, the shy navigator, is too busy managing his panic attacks to be much help. Relationships new and old are tested when the journey continues to expose secrets, both about the depths of the sea and the dark desires inside each crew member. The ocean doesn’t discriminate, and when things go awry, the team must set aside personal grievances to survive their mission, regardless of the cost. Because at the bottom of the ocean, the only way out is up. Sunk is a standalone, why choose novel. It is NOT a romance. There is NOT a complete HEA. Please be aware before reading.
