Blessed Are the Burning

Blessed Are the Burning by Delly M Elrose

She came to confess. But some sins refuse to be forgiven. St. Agnes of the Hollow, 1963 — a secluded Catholic girls’ boarding school in rural England. Behind ivy-covered walls and whitewashed silence, Marguerite ā€œMaggieā€ Doyle, a poised and introspective final-year student, harbors a tormenting secret: she is drawn not to boys, but to Sister Therese, the young novice nun with stormy eyes and trembling hands. Sister Therese is barely older than her students and struggles daily to suppress desires she does not name. When Maggie enters the confessional and reveals her ā€œimpure thoughts,ā€ something in Therese fractures. The line between mentor and penitent begins to blur—until a touch, a glance, a breath too close shatters it entirely. Told in first person from alternating POVs—Maggie and Therese—the novel unfolds like a prayer whispered through trembling lips. Erotic behind closed doors, aching with guilt and beauty, it’s a slow-burn descent into longing, secrecy, and the question of what love costs when the whole world calls it sin.

When he first left all those years ago, he was determined to never come back, but after he met a man named Zhang Weiran, he knew there was only one thing he could do: go back home, and tear down everything his father loved. He won't let them get away with it. Zhang Weiran has had only one thing on his mind since he was a child: fulfill his parents' dying wish and get revenge on the organization that killed them. And it just so happens that his friend and unrequited love Liu Xingyu is not only deeply connected to this shadow organization--he also wants them gone just as badly as Weiran does. Now the only thing they disagree on is Liu Xingyu's suspicious little brother.


Lust for Tomorrow

Lust for Tomorrow by Dana Sweeney

Submission is freeing… Love is a trap. I’ve never seen his face. But I ache to feel his body. My fellow soldiers call him Alpha. It’s an insult, mocking his macho bravado, his aggressive arrogance. I’ve heard the snark, seen the rolled eyes. Alpha. It’s a joke. But when I hear him speak… His rich, deep voice. His lush British accent… I guess the joke’s on me. Since the zombies came, civilization fell, and new social structures arose, I’ve known that my independence relies on my disinterest in any particular man. The powers that be haven’t resorted to forced procreation… at least not yet; they still expect we’ll fall in love and walk into the trap willingly. My resistance requires that I avoid emotional connections. My existence requires that I avoid distractions, that I stand and fight. But every time this man speaks, I want to fall to my knees, offer myself to him. However he’ll have me. Lust is a distraction I can’t afford, but it’s not love. As long as I don’t fall in love, I’m safe. And who could possibly fall for Alpha?
