Title: Small People

Description:

Kayne Ray has spent his life being overshadowed-by his towering Vareshian lineage, by his powerful older brother, and most of all, by the cruel legacy of his father, a man feared for his hatred of humans. Unlike his family, Kayne wants nothing to do with the supremacy that shaped his childhood, but breaking free from his past has left him isolated, awkward, and adrift in a city built for giants like him.

Everything changes the day he accidentally injures a human woman in a dark alley. Small enough to fit in the palm of his hand, Val is delicate, wary, and utterly alone. Wracked with guilt, Kayne takes her into his apartment to recover, intending to send her on her way. But days pass, and neither of them seem eager for her to leave.

As Kayne struggles with the suffocating weight of his father's estate, a brother who demands more than he can give, and a world that will never fully accept his rejection of Vareshian dominance, Val becomes an unlikely anchor in his chaotic life. But the longer she stays, the more tangled his emotions become. His protectiveness warps into something deeper, something dangerous-a hunger he knows he has no right to indulge.

Torn between his desires and his duty, Kayne must walk a thin line between the man he wants to be and the instincts clawing at his restraint. Because Val trusts him. And breaking that trust might shatter more than just the fragile sanctuary they've built-it might ruin them both.

A slow-burn fantasy romance about power, restraint, and the forbidden pull of two beings from vastly different worlds, is a story of longing, control, and the delicate balance between fear and desire.

*COMPLETED* My head bowed in a heavy mannor, not in respect, but in trepidation. I discern his unwavering gaze over my ill silhouette. "Look at me." I opened my eyes, though it made no difference. Black is still black, all I am left with are my four senses. He will kill me if I don't look. He will kill me if I do. He will look into my sightless eyes and see my futile existence isn't worth living. He will kill me, and he will be doing the pack a justice by it. He growls a low, throaty snarl to warn me about disobeying an alpha. There will be consequences, we both know that. His lingering growls let me know he is not going to allow me to contravene his word. I steadily inch my head upwards, visibly shaking everywhere else. Maybe he won't notice my depthless eyes from across the gazebo. My life depends on it. "You're blind." ~ Monet was born into a particularly prestigious area of her wolf pack, to parents of extremely high standards. Her legacy is to become the packs next healer, but when she was born completely devoid of melanin, all her mated parents saw was a disappointment. Being born an albino wolf pup meant a lot for Monet, but it mostly meant her condition had taken her eyesight along with it. What happens when Monet meets the Alpha of a neighboring pack? Will he accept her for what she is? ~CONTENT WARNING~ This book contains depictions of physical abuse, foul language, and upsetting scenary. This book is in no way, shape, or form glorifying domestic abuse of a parent or partner. This book is intended for individuals who feel at odds with their self due to their uniqueness. It is meant to shine light on those who differ from the majority; conquering, and overcoming those who lessen them for what makes them special. ~ Word count at completion date: 33,915 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Mason, on the other hand, is human-and the complete opposite of Kye. Popular, confident, and full of energy, he thrives in the spotlight, surrounded by friends and teammates who adore him.

Will Kye finally get the man he's been secretly in love with for years? Will Mason realize that the connection between them runs deeper than just friendship? Or is this just one giant emotional wreck waiting to happen? Read now to follow their journey-where size isn't the only difference between them, but love just might be the thing that bridges the gap.

Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them.

He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission.

It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it.

If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.

Living With The Giants by moodygirlz

Tess thought she was just like every other teenage girl. But her life couldn't be further from ordinary. Tess lives in a world far from Earth-a planet humanity fled to centuries ago after destroying their home. This new world offers refuge but is ruled by giants, beings towering in size yet surprisingly similar to humans. They have families, jobs, schools, and communities, but not all of them welcome their human neighbors. To some, humans are nothing more than pests invading their world. When Tess's mother falls in love with Brian Taylor-a kindhearted giant-Tess finds herself leaving the familiar safety of the human quarters to live among giants for the first time. It's a terrifying new world for her, one of enormous proportions, where everything feels strange, overwhelming... and dangerous. If adjusting to life with Brian wasn't enough, Tess now has to share her home with his son, Austin-a giant her age who is infuriatingly handsome and an even bigger jerk. Between navigating a new school, making friends, and avoiding trouble with humans and giants alike, Tess's life becomes anything but simple. But everything changes when Tess crosses paths with Darrick. Unlike the other giants, Darrick seems to linger in the shadows, keeping to himself with a quiet intensity that draws Tess in. He's mysterious, secretive, and carries a weight that he refuses to explain. Despite his aloof nature-or perhaps because of it-Tess finds herself captivated by him. Darrick seems to understand her struggles in a way no one else does, but as she's drawn deeper into his world, she begins to wonder what secrets he's hiding... and if her curiosity will lead her into danger. A new home. A new school. New friends... and a forbidden connection with a giant whose secrets might change everything. In a world divided by size, culture, and prejudice, Tess must decide if love is worth risking everything-or if some walls are too high to climb.
