EXCERPT: John freed himself from the security lashes in order to gain more access to Tom. He gripped his friend's waist, squeezing to emphasize how much he was willing to give up for this man. "I can touch you. We can touch. Touch me." Tom searched John's face with his eyes, the flush on his cheeks darkening and capturing John's attention once more. He could feel Tom's uncertainty as if it were a weighted net falling over them both to pin them in place. Summoning his courage, he stripped his tunic from his upper body and seized Tom's hand in his own. "Touch me. Please." John thought Tom was going to refuse until he used his free hand to reach out. SYNOPSIS: Refugees of a dead planet, the Zen are grateful the people of Earth are willing to offer them a new home.

Zen must register with human names at Social Services. 3. Zen must find paid work or volunteer to help their country. Two friends declare themselves "married" during their registration without realizing they are now legally bound to one another as a couple. Will New Americans John and Tom see their friendship turn into a romance or will they reject being accidentally married aliens?

The year is 2304 and war has ravaged the world, leaving scattered communities. Keira, a headstrong 25-year-old, has joined the Eagle tribe with the goal of making a difference. Their primary mission is to take back Meraki, a planet that was intended only for the wealthy and privileged. For the past 50 years, raiders seeking riches have taken over Meraki and severed all communication. The Eagle tribe, trained by old war heroes, has been selected to assess the situation and is actively searching for scattered pieces of a space shuttle that was used to travel to Meraki. Keira is one of the few women who joined the force, as most women help out with daily necessities. She has no interest in marriage, but she can't help but react whenever Josh is nearby. Josh, newly appointed as second in command, has a string of women eagerly throwing hints of marriage, and he would stop at nothing to make them sway. His piercing green eyes, sun-kissed blonde hair, dashing dimples, and ripped physique due to excessive training would contribute to the madness. As fate would have it, she found herself crossing paths with Caleb - a master of manipulation with a dashing demeanor. Despite his apparent immunity to emotion, he exuded a commanding presence that was both cold and alluring. There was something dark and mysterious about him that drew her in, and she couldn't help but feel like he had a way of penetrating her guarded thoughts. Meraki is a place for dreams, a meaning to a better future, or maybe where dreams are now scattered by the selfish traits of men for self-gain.

No primeiro ano do nosso casamento, Augusto Moretti, meu marido perfeito aos olhos de todos, começou a mudar. Ele se afastou de mim, tornando-se frio e distante. De repente, ele parecia ter feito um voto de castidade: mandou construir uma pequena capela na mansão e não largava mais o rosário. Eu tentei de tudo para reacender a nossa relação. Mas, por mais que eu o provocasse, ele permanecia indiferente, como se eu fosse invisível. Até que, em uma noite, o flagrei através de uma fresta na porta do banheiro. Ele estava se entregando à paixão… Mas não por mim. Ele olhava fixamente para a foto de outra mulher. Foi nesse momento que percebi: ele não era frio, ele apenas não tinha sentimentos por mim. Decidi virar o jogo. Enganei Augusto para que assinasse o acordo do divórcio e desapareci completamente da vida dele. Mas, ironicamente, depois que sumi, ele enlouqueceu tentando me encontrar. Quando nos reencontramos, foi no casamento do tio dele. Eu vestia um vestido de noiva branco, e ele, com os olhos vermelhos de raiva, não conseguia de jeito nenhum me chamar de "tia"!

At first, I thought life was so easy but as the years had passed, I realized that life is obnoxious, specially for those poor who pray every day to win in a lottery. Since I was a kid, I already had carried a big responsibility in my arms, sometimes making me question myself whether I was born to live happily or the other way around. My mom and father had a divorce when I was a kid, and unluckily, she made me choose between her and papa. And now, too bad but I regretted nothing. On that day, I chose my dad, and never in million of years would I become jealous to my sister (who had chosen mom) just because she is rich and can buy anything she wants. I was used at buying my only basic needs, securing the rest of my money for future because I know I will still be the only one who can benefit at the end. I was just living peacefully, without having any regrets and doubts, but there is a man named Spencer whose arrogance could reach the planet Jupiter. And I can't deny he got the looks that made everyone to flicker after him. But never in million years would I become fluttered just because of silly and corny jokes from him. But I became tongue-tied for predicting everything. Because I was wrong for judging him like that.

Tiga hari sebelum pernikahan, Arven didatangi oleh sahabat masa kecilnya yang kembali ke tanah air bersama ibunya yang mengidap penyakit mematikan. Dia ingin menikah dengan Arven demi menunaikan wasiat terakhir ibunya. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku menentang keras. Pada akhirnya, Arven menolak permintaan sahabat kecilnya, Nyra. Sesuai rencana, Arven melangkah ke pelaminan bersamaku. Namun, Nyra muncul di lokasi pernikahan sambil memeluk foto mendiang ibunya dan menuduh Arven tak berperasaan. Arven menyuruh para pengawal mengusirnya dan pernikahan kami pun tetap berlangsung. Akan tetapi pada malam pertama pernikahan, dia tidak pulang semalaman. Setelah itu, setiap malam kami tidur terpisah. Dia lebih memilih mabuk berat daripada menyentuhku. Ketika aku bertanya alasannya, dia berkata dengan sorot mata yang tampak buram karena alkohol. "Aeris, setiap kali melihatmu, aku selalu teringat tatapan putus asa Nyra, juga wajah mendiang ibunya .... Aku menyesal!" Aku pun jatuh sakit karena kesedihan dan meninggal dunia. Saat membuka mata kembali, aku kembali ke hari ketika Arven mengatakan ingin mengadakan pernikahan untuk Nyra. Di kehidupan ini, aku langsung menyetujui permintaannya. Menatap punggungnya yang pergi dengan wajah penuh kebahagiaan, aku menelpon rumah dan berkata, "Kak, aku setuju dengan perjodohan keluarga. Atur saja pernikahannya tiga hari lagi."

Nelson se tragó por accidente una nueva droga afrodisíaca y su situación era crítica. Como su médico de cabecera, no tuve más opción que convertirme en su salvavidas. Como soy naturalmente fértil, me quedé embarazada con esa vez. Me casé con él y tuvimos unos gemelos, un niño y una niña, sumamente inteligentes y traviesos. Pero, después de casarnos, Nelson no quería que los niños lo llamaran «papá» y pasaba todo el día abrazando una foto de su alma gemela, borracho. Al cumplir diez años de matrimonio, él prendió fuego la casa y nos mató a los niños y a mí en el sótano. Resulta que, durante todo ese tiempo, Nelson guardaba rencor por lo que había hecho al salvarlo. Él pensaba que lo había hecho solo para acercarme a los poderosos, que había sido esa intervención la que había roto su relación con su amor, y que eso había causado que ella perdiera la cabeza y muriera en un accidente. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, me di cuenta de que había regresado al día en que Nelson se tragó la droga. Esta vez, decidí darle la oportunidad de salvar a su amor platónico, mientras yo me dirigía al estudio...
