The night before high school graduation, Ethan Luciano pulled me into his bedroom. His hands were rough, his touch demanding, yet my heart overflowed with a decade's worth of unspoken longing. I'd loved Ethan for ten years, and finally, it seemed my silent wishes had come true. Afterwards, as we lay tangled in his sheets, he whispered that he'd marry me after graduation. Once he took over the Luciano family's empire from his father, he'd make me the most cherished woman in the family. I believed him. The next morning, I sat curled up against his bare chest as he casually told my foster brother, Lucas, about us. My cheeks were flushed, and my heart raced, still clinging to the sweetness of the night before. However, then their conversation shifted into Italian. Lucas smirked, leaning back against the doorframe. "Not bad, Young Boss. Your first time, and the school's 'it girl' just threw herself at you. So, how's my little sister taste?" Ethan gave a lazy chuckle. "Looks like an angel, but a freak in the sheets. Who would’ve thought?" The room erupted in low, conspiratorial laughter. Lucas raised a brow. "So, should I call her my little sister or my future sister-in-law?" Ethan’s tone darkened, his arm tightening around my waist for a moment. Then he let out a sigh. "She’s nothing. Just practice," he said, his voice dropping to a whisper. "I’m trying to hook up with the cheer captain, Sylvia Dawson, but I don’t want her thinking I’m clueless in bed. Cynthia Saville’s just a warm-up." He paused. "But don’t tell Sylvia. I don’t need her getting all emotional." They didn't know that I’d spent months secretly learning Italian, preparing for the life I thought I’d share with Ethan. I didn't say a word. Later that day, I quietly withdrew my early decision application to Caltech and applied to MIT instead.

At the heart of Nigeria’s academic pride, Eko University, life for students revolves around exams, friendships, and dreams of a brighter future. But all of that changes when a cryptic video from an underground group called Zotes sends shockwaves across the nation. Their chilling ultimatum: the government must release 5 billion naira within a week—or face a nightmare unleashed. No one takes them seriously until the first outbreak. A mysterious virus spreads rapidly through the university campus, turning students and staff into mindless, bloodthirsty creatures. As the infection spirals out of control, the government seals off the campus, leaving survivors trapped with nowhere to run. In the midst of the chaos, a mismatched group of students bands together. Their only aim to survive. Now, with time running out and betrayal lurking among them, the group must fight their way through infected lecture halls and crumbling dormitories to find the cure and stop the madness from spilling into the outside world. In this intense tale of survival, loyalty, and sacrifice, Campus of the Dead explores the price of ambition and the fragile line between order and anarchy.

When a mysterious stranger staggers through the gates of Blackthorn University and viciously bites a werewolf student, a deadly new virus called Lunar Rage erupts across campus. What begins as one attack spirals into a blood-soaked nightmare, turning students, professors, and friends into savage, mindless monsters. In the chaos, three supernaturals emerge as the last sentient survivors: Kael Voss, a powerful and loyal werewolf athlete forced to mercy-kill his own fraternity brothers. Damien Crowe, a cold, aristocratic vampire who must destroy his own sire. Serena Vale, a gifted witch who watches her entire coven burn by her own hand. United by grief and desperation, the trio fights through hordes of the infected in brutal battles across the ruined university. As their bond deepens from survival to raw passion, they discover an ancient nexus beneath the campus where their three bloodlines can be merged in a forbidden ritual of flesh, blood, and magic. But forging the cure demands everything from them — body, soul, and a child conceived in the heart of darkness. With the world collapsing beyond the campus walls, these three broken souls must decide if their forbidden union can birth not only hope… but salvation. A dark, steamy supernatural apocalypse packed with heart-wrenching loss, explosive action, and intense mature romance. In a world gone feral, love, lust, and magic may be the only things left worth fighting for.

Lena Moreau never believed in monsters until she started working for one. She gets an elite internship at Vale Biotech, the world’s leading blood research company. There, she meets her boss, Sébastian Vale—powerful, distant, and impossible to ignore. He only works at night, avoids mirrors, and reacts strangely to her presence. Because Sébastian isn’t just a billionaire. He’s a vampire. Four hundred years old, he has spent his life trying to stop his kind from feeding on humans. He has no desire and no warmth until Lena walks into his world. Her scent draws him in. Her presence weakened his control, and she looked exactly like the woman he once loved and lost. But Lena is now a target. A dangerous vampire enemy believes her blood holds the secret to walking in sunlight and will stop at nothing to get her. To protect her, Sébastian must face the darkness he tried to leave behind. Because loving her could destroy her and feeding on her could kill her.

From high school to my sophomore year in college, I've been in four relationships. None of them lasted, obviously. Boys my age just don't know how to treat a girl like me. I turned twenty, two weeks ago, and decided to swear off love until this hunk of a man walks into our film class. The stranger who I rocked during my birthday party. Well, I thought I only rocked him but memories of that night flood me upon seeing his face. His hands on my waist, my back to his chest, his mouth on my neck. And then...one of the club's rooms. Oh my God! "Good morning everyone, I'm Professor Christian Lambert but you can just call me Professor Lambert. I'll be taking you on international film studies from now on." His gaze ignores all the students in front of me and lands on me. My body warms at the intense memory of us together during my birthday party. As if thinking about the same thing, his face splits into a mischievous grin. Rumors soon begin to fill the campus about the professor. Five years ago, his ex-girlfriend mysteriously disappeared but was later found a month later, in a man's shirt. It was the professor's DNA that was found in her hair and because there was no evidence, he went scot-free. I planned to keep my distance from him after hearing the rumors but... ****** "Hey, little birdie" Professor Lambert corners me after one of my lectures. "I couldn't stop thinking about you after that night." I swallow hard and avoid his piercing brown eyes. Is this right? He's my professor and a rumored killer but...why is my heart beating so fast?
