Elé Sennex

Catherine Ramos just got her fresh start at college, and she's not about to let anyone diminish this opportunity. Especially not Jerard "Peter" Léon, the sharp-witted upperclassman that's just as quick to dish the insults as she is to throw them at him. She wages war, but he's still there. Especially when she needs someone the most. Even if neither of them like it.

Then Cat starts trading roasts with a stranger called PumpkinKing on an anonymous local chat app, and the funniest, smartest person she's never met slowly becomes the only one she feels she can actually talk to. He doesn't know her name. She doesn't know his face. Both a stranger and an enemy know her better than her own best friends.

Between a party that leaves a hole in her memory, a family she can't bear to disappoint, and a secret Peter has been carrying since August, Cat is about to find out how many of the same words hate and love share.

Probed

Probed

G. M. Marks

Lucy has been abducted from her bed and subjected to dreadful extraterrestrial instruments that explore and molest her most delicate regions.

She knows nothing but fear—for the alien scientist with the shielded face and long white hair, and his little grey “helpers” with their disturbingly inquisitive fingers. Stranded in the vast emptiness of space, she has nowhere to run and no one to trust... least of all the enigmatic alien studying her.

But beneath the face shield is someone Lucy never expected.

Beautiful, intelligent and dangerously sensual, he is far more than his sterile laboratory suggests. And as fear gives way to fascination—and fascination to something neither of them can resist—scientist and subject begin an experiment of an entirely different kind.

With hearts and bodies firmly intertwined, they may discover more about their two species than any probe ever could.
