Baku by Ronin Hart - Coming Soon
In a world where gods are no longer divine, but economic, survival comes down to what you are willing to consume.
Yue Fei is a half-Baku, a mythical dream-eater burdened by an insatiable, restless "Hunger" for human memories and fears. Operating a luxurious, five-story restaurant as his hunting ground, he quietly feeds on the grief, shame, and nightmares of his unsuspecting patrons just to keep himself sane. But Yue Fei’s carefully curated existence is haunted by his history with Lianhua, a nine-tailed Huli Jing whose clan ruthlessly manipulated his affections to use him as a weapon of power.
The fragile balance of Yue Fei's life is shattered when a mysterious, ambitious man named Coyote walks into his restaurant. In a world where there are only four established magical kingdoms, Coyote wants to build a fifth kingdom using an LLC. To secure Yue Fei's allegiance for "Fifth Kingdom, LLC," Coyote offers the one thing the half-Baku desperately wants: a cure for his Hunger.
As Yue Fei navigates this dangerous corporate proposition, a chance encounter on the restaurant floor introduces an entirely new mystery. While feeding on the painful breakup memories of a grieving woman, Yue Fei realizes her best friend, Claire, is an anomaly. Unlike every other human whose emotional aura leaks like a beacon, Claire's mind is absolute silence—an impenetrable void that Yue Fei cannot read.
Honeymoonship by Dustin Sanchez - Coming Soon
A serialize-to-novel story about a marriage that was not supposed to last forever.
For the bride, it lasted exactly three hours—ending because of her new husband and her maid of honor in the back of a newlywed limo.
Determined to escape the humiliation and reclaim a shred of her life, she flees to the honeymoon destination alone. She needs air. She needs distance. She needs to be anywhere but home.
But when she barely makes her flight, breathless and frazzled, she collapses into her seat only to be greeted by a calm, unfamiliar voice.
"What took you so long, wife?"
She has no idea who he is. Apparently, her bridesmaids did. They booked her a "Rental Husband"—a professional stand-in to keep up the charade while she navigates the wreckage of her marriage.
He is a Korean-Japanese man, an ambitious entrepreneur trying to launch his very own branch of the Rental Family business. But this is his pilot project, his maiden voyage, and he is clearly out of his depth. He is still learning the trade. He is not smooth, not sexy, and not the kind of man she wants with her on her singles honeymoon.
Well, okay, he is kind of sexy.
There are two weeks on the clock and one cardinal rule: Don’t fall in love. But as the script falls apart and they are forced into the intimacy of paradise, they begin to discover that the only thing more dangerous than a fake marriage is the moment the performance starts to feel like the truth.
