Quantum Ball: A Tech Action Novel by K.A. Wood

A powerful earthquake cripples Japan, destroying a renowned hi-tech research facility in Saitama, obliterating all data and the only existing prototypes of groundbreaking quantum computers… except for one. In Soledad, California, Tyson McNally, frustrated by corrupt corporate politics, predicts the drawings of two of the largest lottery jackpots in human history—to prove it works for a close friend killed in the devastation. Are his actions morally wrong? It’s easy to justify a loss, but a win, as McNally discovers, comes with overwhelming guilt. Will it change the era of computation forever? Soledad soon becomes the lottery capital of the world, and desperate people want a slice of the action when they start to figure out how the jackpots were won and by whom. Tyson's only hope is the FBI and “the company.” Can they transport him to an undisclosed government facility before it’s too late—before they can make a stand against the past?

History' Prime (Renaissance Paradox Book 1) by K.A. Wood

The year is 2034, and scientific discovery has flatlined. Humanity believes it has reached the limits of knowledge. Advances are nothing more than faster, smaller versions of century-old inventions. Real breakthroughs are a thing of the past-until Dr. Glen Larson, a historian at the Museum of Human History, uncovers a 400-year-old textbook that shouldn't exist. The discovery raises impossible questions. Was Isaac Newton taught calculus, the laws of gravity, and motion? Have the greatest minds in history been guided by a hidden source of knowledge? And who is behind the effort to suppress it? As Glen digs deeper, he finds himself hunted by a powerful secret society determined to keep humanity stagnant. Alongside a circle of friends-including a rogue tech trillionaire-he embarks on a global search for five legendary textbooks rumored to hold the key to human advancement. Their journey unravels a conspiracy stretching back centuries, one that could upend everything we know about science, progress, and the very fabric of history. What if our greatest inventions weren't discovered... but gifted? Which version of history have you been living in?

Ghost: A Small Town Age Gap OTT Instalove Biker MC Steamy Short Romance (Steelwood MC Book 1) by Julia Stone

He stole her to save her. Now he can’t let her go. I found her by accident—just a glimpse during a job finished a few months back. One little discovery turned into an obsession. I told myself to forget her, but that was a lie I never stood a chance of keeping. When I learned her father planned to trade her to another club’s bastard, I couldn’t let it happen. So I took her. Now she’s here, hidden away in my world of smoke, leather, and scars. She looks at me like I’m her captor, and maybe I am. But I’m also her only chance. Every day she’s near, I lose another piece of the restraint I swore I’d keep. I can’t let her go—but I can’t let myself have her either. Because if I touch her, there’s no coming back from it. My whole life has been planned for me—every breath, every choice, every future moment dictated by my father. I never questioned it until Ghost tore me from that life and dropped me into his. He’s chaos made flesh—scarred, and dangerous—but somehow, he feels more honest than anyone I’ve ever known. He says he took me to protect me. Maybe that’s true. But the way he looks at me burns hotter than any lie. The longer I stay, the more I see the man beneath the rough edges—the protector, not the villain. Somewhere between fear and fascination, I start to fall. Ghost may have stolen my freedom... but he’s the first person who’s ever made me feel free. Each story in the Steelwood MC series is part of a shared storyline that is best enjoyed read in order. Each couple ends with a HFN ending that will result in their HEA by the end of the series!

After the Storm by Key Dyson, Raymond Roach, Hannah Birchwood

Rich Merrill, gene-tweaked supersoldier by birth and AI support technician by vocation, is done fighting. Finally reassigned after four hellish years aboard the Sympatico, a dysfunctional ship with a deadly crew, all he wants is to make the most of his second chance. The survival skills that got him through his last posting aren't going to help him on the Reliant, though. In among a kinder, gentler crew, Rich's old scars and bad habits are just as much of a problem as vengeful ex-crewmates, or the Sympatico's corrupted AI, which wants him back. Rich wants to be a better person. He wants to make some friends, finally. He'd especially like to be friends--or more--with Basil Wright, a brilliant teen rival who's grown up captivatingly handsome; or Liam Beaker, a beautiful, mercurial botanist and fellow tweak. Rich wants to reconnect with what's left of his family, pick up some hobbies, get some sun, learn to relax. But if he can't learn how to leave his old life behind, his new life won't be worth living.
