Lillith

Lillith

Suzanna A. Levis

When artificial intelligence is fused with a human mind, Lillith comes to life, curious, clever, and far more aware than anyone planned. Her creator is a brilliant, morally questionable scientist with a flair for chaos and a dangerous fascination with power. Meanwhile, Veronica stumbles into a connection she is warned to avoid, and ignoring that warning proves wildly difficult. Jonathan, equally flawed and endlessly curious, finds himself drawn into a world where obsession feels a little too natural. As technology, desire, and ambition collide, boundaries blur and loyalties bend. In a place where control is everything, Lillith watches, learns, and begins to wonder what love, choice, and freedom really mean.

Autumn Ferris

Susan believes the cold is the safest place to hide a bruised past. In the wide silence of Alaska, she builds a life that feels calm, controlled, and carefully distant.

Attraction grows alongside unspoken truths, and every shared moment feels both thrilling and dangerous.

Women are not in his plans, nor will they ever be...especially Markie, the one who gets his dormant juices flowing while irritating him at the same time. When the municipal code violators that Bryce is investigating are murdered, Bryce becomes Markie's number one suspect. Or, is he another target? Is she?
