INTERMITTENT FASTING RIVALRY AND ROMANCE:

LONGEVITY AND DIETS by Clyde St Cloud

To Lena Thompson, intermittent fasting is nothing but a scam, and as a dedicated nutritionist, she prides herself on her meticulous approach to health and wellness. After losing her mother to the fake fad of intermittent fasting, Lena becomes fiercely determined to protect others from the same fate. But when a know-it-all personal trainer comes up to her booth to challenge her beliefs, she is thrust into a battle to prove that intermittent fasting is just another dangerous trend that offers false hope. An intermittent fasting face-off wasn't what Ethan had envisioned when he approached Lena for advice.

But what choice did he have atter she brushed off the clear benefits of intermittent fasting without a second thought? As a top-tier personal trainer, Ethan needs to show that intermittent fasting can really boost the health and performance of his clients. Yet, deep down, Ethan has doubts about the possible risks involved. As these two highly accomplished health professionals seek to prove the other wrong, what starts out as a professional rivalry and not-so-friendly competition gradually blossoms into an undeniable attraction. But the stakes couldn't be higher because a loss on either side could ruin their professional reputation and credibility, not to mention their budding relationship. What awaits Lena and Ethan at the other side of the finish line? Will their relationship survive the strain, or will their professional differences tear them apart?

Sixteen-year-old Hannah, the daughter of a Temple priest, has been raised under exacting standards and taught not to question her future. When losses upend her certainty, she finds her way outside the boundaries set by family and tradition. She must decide whether to continue on the familiar path of her ancestors or to strike out on her own and risk all that she holds dear. Perfect for readers of The Red Tent, The Dovekeepers, and Madeline Miller, Strange Fire is a moving story of love, faith, and self-discovery set in the final days of Second Temple Jerusalem—rich in atmosphere, alive with debate, and centered on a woman’s search for meaning in a world that demands her silence.

Under Fluorescent Lights

In the glossy world of corporate ambition, the real game is played behind closed doors… and someone is always watching.

At Valor & Watts, a global consulting firm with offices in Madrid and London, success is measured in strategy decks, whispered alliances, and perfectly timed betrayals. Into this world steps the French girl. She is elegant, ambitious, and disturbingly unreadable. From the moment she arrives, rumors follow her: Why Madrid? Why now? And what is she really after?

As she rises through the ranks, she navigates icy colleagues, corporate politics, and a dangerously magnetic connection with Jack, a married British manager who knows how to play the game... and how to break the rules.

But under the fluorescent lights, secrets fester. A missed client meeting. A forbidden romance. An anonymous email that changes everything. As her carefully curated image begins to crack, the question becomes not just how far she’ll go... but who’s already plotting her downfall.

Tense, addictive, and razor-sharp, Under Fluorescent Lights is a scandal-filled tale of ambition, betrayal, and the high cost of being seen.

I Survived Me: From Silenced to Still Here

Anjelle-Sophia Kamau was just a girl when the world began to hurt her in ways no child should ever endure.

But this is not just a story about trauma. It’s a story about survival. Told through the emotionally intelligent voice of a young woman who refused to give up — even when giving up felt easier — I Survived Me is a deeply personal journey through pain, shame, healing, and the long, nonlinear path back to herself. If you’ve ever felt like you had to be strong for everyone else while falling apart inside, if you’ve ever struggled with self-worth, if you’re still trying to figure out how to survive yourself — this book was written for you. You’ll find pieces of yourself in these pages. You’ll feel seen. And you’ll be reminded that you are not alone. You are not too broken. You are still here. And that matters.

I Don't Want to Forget This:

A Memoir of Leaving, Remembering, and Becoming

I Don’t Want to Forget This is a lyrical memoir of girlhood, migration, survival, and becoming. Told in poetic fragments and vivid vignettes, Paulina Lam Esparza traces her journey from a chaotic, love-filled childhood in northern Mexico to adulthood in the United States — through trauma, longing, healing, and joy. Along the way, she rebuilds homes in post-earthquake Oaxaca, walks the Camino de Santiago with blistered feet and a restless heart, and learns to love — and be loved — without shrinking. This is a story about leaving home, finding it again, and learning that sometimes it’s something you carry with you. A story for girls told to be quiet, for immigrants who live between languages, for survivors who keep standing, and for anyone learning how to stay soft in a world that keeps trying to harden us. I Don’t Want to Forget This is a quiet revolution. A love letter to the past — and a promise to the future.

The Death Wizard Chronicles: Volume 1 

The Death Wizard Chronicles: Volume 1 is the opening book in an epic dark-fantasy trilogy set in the war-torn realm of Triken, where death itself can be harnessed as magic. The story centers on Torg, a Death Wizard, whose terrifying gift allows him to die voluntarily and return stronger each time, drawing power from the agony of his own demise. He is both champion and outcast—feared for what he can do, yet desperately needed as the last real defense against a rising tide of darkness.

Across Triken, brutal armies, monstrous creatures, and powerful sorcerers battle for control. Ancient forces stir, long-buried prophecies awaken, and a malevolent foe seeks not simply to conquer, but to break the world. Torg is drawn into a brutal conflict that will test his body, mind, and moral center. His struggle isn’t just against armies and tyrants, but against a deeper, more intimate threat: a monstrous enemy intent on devouring everything—and everyone—he loves. The series blends large-scale warfare with intimate character arcs. There’s rich world-building, a complex magic system based on the mechanics of death, and a tone that moves between visceral, violent, sensual, and deeply philosophical. While the battles are intense and the stakes apocalyptic, the heart of the story explores fear of mortality, the cost of power, sacrifice, trauma, and what it really means to be alive when death is never final.
