Summary
Worn down by a hellish 5 years in Sandrock, Wren, the builder formerly known as Lucy moved to Atara in the hopes of escaping her past.
In Atara, she can be a nobody again: not the star builder with the weight of keeping Sandrock afloat on her shoulders, not the hero who defied the might of the Duvos Empire and lived to tell the tale and most importantly, not the woman who unwittingly fell in love with Pen, the war criminal who destroyed any chance she might have had of a happy life in the town she once called home.
There’s just one major flaw in Wren’s plan for a fresh start: whether she likes it or not, she belongs to Pen and he’s not done with her, not by a longshot.

Summary
Of all the things that Pen had wanted to achieve in Sandrock, getting trapped here for all eternity, was not high on his list. In fact, it hadn’t been on his list at all.
How had he found himself in this situation? Pen had no idea.
One day he’d been locked up in the Sandrock jail, awaiting transfer to maximum security prison, the next, he’d been transported back in time 2 weeks, doomed to repeat the events leading up to his arrest over and over again.
As Pen attempts to fight his descent into madness, he finds help in an unlikely source. Despite being the cause of nearly all his problems, the Builder may just be the one person who can help him.
She’s already brought Sandrock back from the brink of ruin countless times. Can the Builder help Pen to fix the broken mess that is his life?

Summary
For experienced builder Lucy, Sandrock seemed like the ideal place to start again. A nice quiet town to lie low in for a few years before she inevitably has to move on again.
You see, Lucy has a problem: she is one of the people of the Old World and no longer ages following a long spell in a hypersleep.
Unfortunately for Lucy, Sandrock is anything but the holiday she was hoping for. For a start, she is not the only one of her kind who has chosen to make Sandrock their home.

Summary
Freshly graduated Dr. Aranell Doll, an Appalachian archaeology PhD candidate, is struck by lightning while testing a gaming rig at a Chicago Gaming convention. She awakens shivering in a Russian airbase in Kazakhstan, bewildered, thrust straight into the 'Cliffhanger' mission from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
She's in the world of COD:MW, 9 years in the past, just 6 days before the countdown to World War III begins.
Despite some interesting skills, she's just an academic who wrote her dissertation on the very game she's now in. She knows everything: Price rotting in Petropavlovsk gulag. Shepherd plans to betray TF141. Makarov’s massacre at Zakhaev International Airport. And Soap will die.
Yet her arrival has splintered the timeline. The two COD:MW storylines are merging. As the timelines change, bonds form. Soap, the charming Scottish captain, wins her over with humor and passion. Ghost, once Shepherd’s unwavering shadow, questions everything when Aranell tests his loyalty. Price, hollowed by 3 years in the gulag, begins to see her not as a tool but as an anchor. What develops is not a simple romance but a connection between four wounded souls seeking solace as the world teeters on the edge.

Summary
You are a criminal, chained by circumstance and loosed upon Task Force 141 at General Shepherd’s behest. To them, you are a mistake—madness wrapped in a mission file, a shadow that speaks in riddles and bleeds defiance. They think you're chaos incarnate, but chaos has purpose when wielded by the right hands.
Behind your eyes, the past claws for breath—faces, fire, and forgotten names all buried beneath a smirk and a trigger finger. They don’t know what you’ve done. Not really.
While 141 hunts ghosts across the globe, you are busy raising phantoms of your own—quiet moves, careful whispers, traps set in the dark for enemies who don’t yet know they’re being played.
But eventually, all masks slip.
And when yours does, they’ll finally see:You were never just a weapon.

Summary
Lord Adam, born a beast from an ancestral and unbreakable curse, is determined to live in solitude so that his bloodline and curse will finally end with him. Yet magic intervenes and puts a young woman named Belle in his life, bound to his palace from an enchanted rose she plucked. Adam wants nothing to do with this woman who ruined his plans. He certainly is not going to fall in love with her, no matter how sweet and fun and clever he discovers her to be. Belle is not happy to be trapped at the eerie palace either. She had plans to become a famous author and travel the world. But she’s determined to make the best of her situation by making a friend, or maybe something more, if she can ever get this cranky yet strangely kind beast to open up to her.
