Leonardo 'Black Tiger' Tigra is your regular local hitman doing average hitman things. Then, some kid accidentally shoots him in the leg. Fine. Shit happens. Until Leo learns that that one measly bullet has landed him smack-dab in the middle of a blood feud between the two biggest, greatest, meanest famiglias of Mariposa City. Now Leo is left scrambling to prove (and in some cases, disprove) his loyalty, his omerta, and his leadership skills. Wait, what was that last thing? Because apparently some people have gotten it into their heads that he'd be a good mafia Don.

Sigh. Everything was easier when he poured acid down people's mouths.

Excerpt:

The wide-eyed boy continued, fidgeting from foot to foot, "And it wasn't my decision." The next thing he said came in a quiet, embarrassed whisper. "My parents sold me off when I was young."

You're seventeen, you're still young, Leo's mind remarked but saying that out loud might've been misconstrued as sympathy, or worse, pity. And it made him seem old.

Leo eyed the teen. "Is this where you tell me your tragic backstory?"

K knew that he... wasn't good enough for his girlfriend, Gina. He was just far too innocent, far too... uncomfortable at the smallest of things. But even then, she didn't seem to mind. She seemed to care for him anyway. And to K, that meant everything. After years of this, years of this slow-burn love, of being there for each other... K let slip his deepest, darkest secret.... more>>

K had always been interested in... trying... certain things, but... as a girl.

And then he had a problem. The problem wasn't Gina's reaction. No, the problem was that Gina wasn't the kind of person to leave her partner's wishes unfulfilled. Because of her, K, for once in his life, had the ability to choose to... give in to his deepest desires.

And even worse than that, people had a habit of rolling their eyes at me and saying “Boys.” And for some reason that made me so uncomfortable.

Theo Altair has a death wish.... more>>

He has tried everything he can think of to cut his life short but he can never seem to get it right, and somehow he always manages to survive. His latest attempt nearly destroys his ship, which houses a sentient A.I. named Shade who is not particularly thrilled with Theo’s antics, and the duo is forced to make an emergency landing on a nearby farming moon to make repairs.

There Theo meets Dimitri, a farmer-cum-engineer with a penchant to sing away his worries. The two form an unlikely friendship and when Theo tries to run away from his feelings, Dimitri isn’t quick to let him go so easily. He takes it upon himself to join Theo on his flight to the next star system — with some help from Shade — and Theo is forced to face his feelings head on.

But there are some things lurking in space that are more frightening than letting yourself be cared for.

She had done all of the preparations to make her death hassle-free—no blood spilled, no body to be found, and no property to be transferred. Indeed, no hassle to her still-living relatives. Tired and free of her responsibilities at last, she waited for her afterlife in the embrace of the cold water. She never expected to ever open her eyes again, much less to reincarnate in a world she read about 8 years prior to her death. Even worse, saddled onto her shoulders was the fate of the world as she bore the name of one Rudeus Greyrat.

Perhaps by the will of the World, she no longer had the ability to claim her life. Deciding it faster to fulfill the destiny forced onto her, she set out to kill one imposter "Human God" and finally reclaim the eternal slumber that was stolen from her.

---Stone Age fantasy in a Mayan-style jungle---... more>>

Tarek is the only one in all the tribes of the Lost that can't hear the Song, the gentle green magic that helps them survive the deep wilds of the jungle. What he has instead is the dreaded, fabled blood magic, the curse of the ancients. If anyone discovers his dark thirst, he will hang. A rival in the tribe is trying to keep him from marrying his betrothed Yaretzi, and a wandering elder named Xochil knows more about Tarek than is good for him. The yearly flood approaches, and either Tarek stays home and risks death or goes wandering in search of a cure to his curse... and the deep jungle holds a thousand deaths for those foolish enough to wander. <<less

Although the young vampire knows he is in over his head, he must fight to save the city that ostracised him, the only home he’s ever known.
