He’s a vampire who never fit in. She’s a werewolf with no wolf. He’s lonely. She’s done settling. And for once, a human dating app feels like a level playing field. Then ByChance throws them together as a “PERFECT match”… and fate immediately starts getting in the way. But when their first date goes sideways and his “normal guy” act melts away, they’re forced to face the truth: love doesn’t care if you fit in. It cares if you’ve finally found someone who sees you.

Starting a new life in Florida means year-round sunshine, beautiful beaches, and balmy breezes. For most people, anyway. But not for thirtysomething Piper and her grandmother, former members of a motorcycle gang in Oregon. For them, it means entering the witness protection program and moving to Bitter End in the Sunshine State. Yes, to Bitter End. It doesn’t get much more ironic than this. But hey, it’s better than rotting in jail for getting busted with tax evasion and money laundering, and infinitely better than getting killed by said gang for testifying against them.

Not every death is violent. Not every near-death experience comes with chaos, noise, or urgency. Some happen in complete silence. A person sitting alone. A quiet room. A moment that feels ordinary—until everything stops. NDE: Deaths That Happened in Silence explores the lesser-known side of near-death experiences: the ones that unfold without drama, without witnesses, and without warning. These are the moments where life fades quietly… and something else begins just as gently. Inside these deeply immersive stories, you’ll encounter: • Individuals who slipped out of their bodies in ...

I came to Charleston for music, not men. This city is just another stop on my way to something bigger. A few months of playing, then I’m gone. No attachments. No complications. Then I see him. Atlas Dane. Silent. Watchful. Built like a warrior, dressed like a king. He doesn’t belong at an event like this, hulking in a tuxedo while I play for people who sip champagne and pretend they understand Bach. But he’s not pretending. He watches my hands like he already knows what they can do. He speaks in low, measured words that make my breath catch. And when I trip—because I always do—he’s there.

You used to feel something. Excitement. Curiosity. Even simple moments had color. But now everything feels muted—like life is happening behind a thick layer of glass. The things that once brought you joy barely register. You’re not exactly sad… just empty. Disconnected. Numb. If you’ve been asking yourself “Why does nothing feel fun anymore?”—this book is your answer. Why Nothing Feels Fun Anymore explores the quiet, often misunderstood experience of emotional flatness and loss of interest. Whether it’s burnout, overstimulation, stress, or a deeper internal disconnection, ...

The moment I scent her, everything in me goes still. Not because she’s beautiful—though she is. Not because she’s hurt—though the blood on her skin makes something savage in me rise. But because that blood carries a truth she doesn’t know: She’s not human. And she’s mine. She wakes afraid, confused, certain she’s just an ordinary woman who got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. I wish she were. It would make protecting her easier. It would make walking away possible. But nothing about her is ordinary—not her scent, not her presence, not the way my wolf reacts ...

Enjoying the human journey through this world can seem impossible. So much is going wrong in these dark days. And the daily personal demands never let up. Who has the time—much less the freedom of heart—to play, to laugh, to delight? What's more, those following Christ can also feel duty-bound to live in sacrificial austerity. But God's strategy for wise living includes bold enjoyment. In fact, any "Christianity" that feels embarrassed about enjoying God's good gifts dishonors him and leaves Christians with less to give their suffering world.
