Book excerpt: "A spellbinding adventure! YA Omegaverse done to utter perfection. I want more, and I want it now!" -Addison Cain, USA TODAY bestselling author Drawing, my online clan, and planning my escape from my mother-these are priorities. Or, at least they were, until three huge alien males came to abduct me and take me to their planet. But it's not just a simple process of probing and then releasing me back to Earth. All those movies are lies. These three males keep me. And I'm suddenly a cadet at an Omega Academy where I'm supposed to learn how to serve the Gretar Fleet. None of this makes any sense to begin with, nevermind the three Alphas I can't seem to avoid. But they say we have a connection, that we're a circle, whatever that means. And my body seems to agree, because anytime they're near, I can't seem to think of anything except Kyte's horns, Jeren's smirk, and Ceredes's long, hard ... sword. Focusing on class is almost impossible, and the Omega Academy isn't for the faint of heart. I have to learn who my enemies are, how to make friends, and how I fit with the three Alphas I can't stop thinking about. All doable, right? No. Not right, especially when I discover the fleet has other plans for me. The bond with my three Alphas may be the only thing that can keep me safe, but that means we need to consummate our circle. Yeah, you read that right, consummate. Deep. Breaths.Lily's Note: Omega Academy is the first book in a trilogy and ends on a cliff.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1842, Camille Flammarion was a French astronomer who wrote many popular books about science and astronomy, together with a number of novels which we would now consider to be science fiction. He was a contemporary of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, though his works never achieved their level of popularity. Omega: The Last Days of the World is an English translation of Flammarion’s novel La Fin du Monde, published in 1893. The book’s fictional premise is the discovery of a comet on a collision course with the Earth in the 25th century. However, this is mostly a pretext on which Flammarion can hang his interesting scientific speculations about how the world will end, together with philosophical thoughts about war and religion. Much of the scientific description he uses in the book, while accurately representing the knowledge and thinking of his time, has today been superseded by modern discoveries. For example, we now know the source of the Sun’s energy to be nuclear fusion rather than being due to gravitational contraction and the constant infall of meteorites. When talking about the ills of society, however, Flammarion could well be talking about today’s world. For example, he excoriates the vast waste of society’s resources on war, and demonstrates how much more productive each nation’s economy would be without it. He also depicts the media of his future world as having been entirely taken over by commercial interests, publishing only what will excite the greatest number of readers rather than serving the public interest. Omega ranges over a vast period of time, from prehistory through to millions of years in the future when mankind has been reduced to the last two doomed individuals. Nevertheless, the book ends on a hopeful and inspiring note. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Book excerpt: War has taken everything Bryce Tilden loves, but he won't let it take away his hope. Giving himself, body and soul, to a man he's never met was never something Bryce thought he would do until he enlists in Project Alpha, the military's most secret operation to date. After all, Bryce is straight. No genetic modification is going to change that. But after a medical procedure goes wrong and he awakens as an Omega, there isn't any choice but to submit and serve at the side of a powerful Alpha unit. At first, Bryce is appalled- -until Jackson Henley walks into his life and awakens in him an inescapable bond that turns Bryce's whole world upside down. Jackson Henley is looking for an honorable way to die. Haunted by his traumatic past and without hope for the future, Jackson sees Project Alpha as the death sentence he craves. Trained to be the ultimate warrior, he knows he'll risk it all on the front lines, and with his upcoming match to an Omega unit imminent, he hopes it won't be much longer before that risk turns to ruin- -until a chance encounter with an Omega he's forbidden to love awakens within him a protector who will do anything and everything to keep safe what belong to him. All it takes is one moment to change two lives forever. Drawn together by fate but kept apart by circumstance, can two souls made for one another overcome the obstacles separating them and turn the tides of war? Omega Academy is the first book in the Project Alpha/Omega series, and contains strong language, dark themes, MPreg, no cheating, and a definitive HEA. Readers sensitive to topics such as attempted sexual assault and violence should exercise caution while reading.

First, two playboy Alphas, a hydra and a griffin, start showing up at the cafe she works at. Their teasing making her all hot and bothered, no matter how much she tries to ignore them. And then she accidentally accepts to play a princess at a spoiled shifter kid’s birthday party, where her crappy old car promptly breaks down. Luckily, or maybe she’s just cursed, a cerberus and a centaur Alpha are there to save the day and give her a ride home. For years, Cyra has managed to hide herself from other shifters, pretending she’s human. Because she doesn’t want her parents to marry her off to a rich asshole Alpha for money and status or to be kidnapped and bred like some other rare Omega shifters. She wants her freedom, to be able to make her own choices, and both of those things are taken away the moment she’s mated. Once she’s claimed by an Alpha, she’ll become that Alpha’s property, and she refuses to live like that. But now everything she’s worked so hard for is falling apart around her. Money is tight, and with her crappy car constantly needing repairs, she won’t be able to afford the medication she needs to stay hidden from shifters, especially with the mating season only weeks away. So she makes a reckless decision and takes the cerberus and the centaur up on their offer to be their date to the yearly Night Gala, an exclusive shifter event for bachelor Alphas, Betas and Omegas, though it’s not uncommon for humans to attend too, as ‘dates’ or serving staff. Their offer is too tempting, one night of boring chats while looking pretty, and all her money problems will be solved. That is, until the hydra and griffin Alphas also appear at the Night Gala and everything goes to hell… This is the first book in the Her Shifter Harem’s Babies series, a paranormal Omegaverse reverse harem #WhyChoose story. This book may include any of these elements: steamy scenes, ‘I need tissues NOW’ moments, cries of ‘why, oh, why’ and cliffhangers that make you bite your nails (and curse the author). ??This story includes MF and MM scenes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When my family left our small, ultra-conservative pack back in Utah to join a giant pack in Northwest Louisiana, I thought I'd be able to coast through my last year of high school in semi-anonymity, then get the fuck away from wolf pack politics and just live my life for awhile. But the Moon decided to prolong my torture by placing my fated mate in front of my face on my first day at Blackstone Academy. He's the Alpha's son and king of a school crawling with shifters, and it turns out he doesn't care to be saddled with a Moon-chosen mate who he thinks is a nobody-omega wolf. When he rejects me in front of every shifter in school, I vow to harden my heart, become impervious to the constant, deep hurt of the rejection, and figure out how to be the first wolf in known history to shake the taint of a rejected fated mate bond. I'm also becoming closer to a new student--a smoking hot and intriguing human, who I can't manage to scare off even with the drama that surrounds me and the poisonous pack politics that I can't seem to escape. I can't even tell him what's really going on, but I think he's keeping secrets from me, too.I'm Mave Fortune, and my mate threw me out like yesterday's garbage. But fuck that guy.This is a new adult, M/F 133,000 word standalone story with a HEA. Any future books in the series will feature other characters.

Book excerpt: I'm a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, I'm Fae. But of course there's a catch - all I have to do to claim my birth right is prove that I'm the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically that's true as I'm the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didn't put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could. The school they've sent me to is both dangerous as sh*t and one helluva party. Vampires bite weaker students in the corridors, the Werewolf pack has orgies in the Wailing Wood at every full moon and don't even get me started on the dark and twisted ways the Sirens use their powers on people's emotions, or how my sinfully tempting Cardinal Magic teacher hosts detentions that leave people needing therapy. Classes are totally interesting if you manage to live through them. And that Gemini star sign I mentioned? It now determines my elemental magic and affects my destiny, so learning astrology is essential if I'm going to beat down my classmates - which is actively encouraged by the way. My biggest problem is the drool worthy Dragon shifter who has his eyes on my throne. He and his three psycho friends are determined to make my time here hell. All I've got to do is survive. But fate might have other ideas. Dammit, why couldn't I have gotten a letter to Hogwarts?

Book excerpt: Il disegno, i videogiochi e la pianificazione della fuga da mia madre sono le mie priorità. O almeno lo erano, finché dei giganteschi maschi alieni sono venuti a rapirmi per portarmi sul loro pianeta. Ma non si limitano a sottopormi a qualche test, per poi riportarmi sulla Terra. Quelle che ci mostrano nei film sono solo fandonie. I tre alieni mi trattengono. E all’improvviso mi ritrovo a frequentare l’Omega Academy, per imparare a servire la Flotta Gretar. Nulla di tutto ciò ha un senso, tanto meno i tre alieni che non riesco a evitare. Dicono che abbiamo una connessione e che formiamo un cerchio, qualsiasi cosa significhi. Il mio corpo sembra essere d’accordo, perché ogni volta che sono nei paraggi non riesco a pensare ad altro che alle corna di Kyte, al sorriso tenebroso di Jeren e alla lunga e dura… spada di Ceredes. Concentrarsi sulle lezioni è quasi impossibile. Inoltre, l’Omega Academy non è adatta ai deboli di cuore. Devo imparare a riconoscere i nemici, a trovare degli amici e scoprire cosa mi lega ai tre alieni a cui non riesco a smettere di pensare. Semplice, no? E invece non lo è. Affatto. Soprattutto quando scopro che la flotta ha altri piani per me. Il legame coi miei tre alieni potrebbe essere l’unica cosa in grado di tenermi al sicuro, ma ciò significa che dobbiamo consumare il nostro cerchio. Sì, avete letto bene, consumare. Fate un respiro profondo. Nota di Lily: Omega Academy è un racconto lungo, il primo volume della trilogia Omega Academy.
