Best Tony Hillerman

Marcus Hale had everything—a billion-dollar company, a beautiful fiancée, and a future everyone envied. But in one ruthless night, his best friend stole his empire, his fiancée walked away without looking back, and the world branded him a criminal. Stripped of his wealth, abandoned by everyone he trusted, Marcus is left with nothing but the clothes on his back and seven dollars in his pocket. As he struggles to survive on the streets, a violent storm changes his life forever. After being struck by lightning, Marcus begins seeing terrifying glimpses of the future. At first, he thinks he's losing his mind, until every vision comes true. From stock market crashes to billion-dollar deals, the future becomes his greatest weapon. Starting with almost nothing, Marcus quietly turns every prediction into profit, building a financial empire while the people who betrayed him celebrate his downfall. But as his fortune grows, so do the dangers around him. His former partner realizes someone is always one step ahead, a brilliant financial analyst becomes obsessed with uncovering Marcus's impossible success, and a powerful secret hidden behind the storm threatens to destroy everything Marcus has rebuilt. Now, every investment is a battle, every victory brings a new enemy, and every vision pushes Marcus closer to a truth someone has been willing to kill to keep hidden. The homeless man everyone ignored is about to become the most powerful billionaire in the country. And when the people who laughed at his fall come begging for his help, Marcus will make sure they remember one thing... They should have never underestimated a man who already knows the future.

Trapped at the bottom of the corporate hierarchy, Lucas thought loyalty and hard work would earn him a future. Instead, his best friend Damon framed him for embezzlement, his fiancée Jessica abandoned him for status, and ruthless CEO Lancelot Peterson ordered his execution in a rain-slicked alley. But as blood pooled in the mud, a golden prompt ignited in his vision: Supreme Revenge Cultivation System Initializing... Waking up three years in the past, Lucas carries his memories, a ruthless mind, and a system that converts every public face-slap, broken conspiracy, and dead enemy into raw cultivation power. From executing a high-stakes public slap at the very engagement party that ruined his past life to hacking corporate broadcast networks with live evidence of his killers' crimes, Lucas transforms every trap into an arena for retribution. But as his power surges, a dormant ancient tablet reacts to his touch, unlocking a shockwave across the cultivation underworld and awakening the spirit guide Mandolin: Lucas is no ordinary victim—he is the last surviving heir of the supreme, long-lost Zekaron Immortal Bloodline. With the fiercely loyal Esther—a clinic assistant carrying a rare ancient healer lineage—by his side, Lucas wages an escalating war through underground fight arenas, corporate boardrooms, and secret realm rifts. As Damon spirals into paranoid madness and Lancelot unleashes dark cultivation syndicates to harvest the city's spiritual veins, Lucas dismantles every enemy layer by layer without a single step back. When ancient corrupted ancestors breach dimensional portals to drain the continent, the silent victim of the past stands at the peak of the modern world. Armed with god-tier techniques, a fully awakened bloodline, and an evolving System, Lucas will crush the betrayers, protect those who stood by him, and ascend as the ultimate Overlord of both mortal and immortal realms.

“Don’t make a scene, Marcus.” Quinn’s eyes, always so cold, flicked over him as if he were an unwanted stain. “A Saintess can’t be sullied by a man like you. Keep your distance.” For three years, Marcus Steel was a ghost in his own marriage. His wife, worshipped for her holy power, never let him near—not even a touch, not a night together. Yet every gathering, she let Alexander—her so-called ‘brother,’ his former best friend—rest his head in her lap, her hand stroking his hair, their laughter intimate and careless for the world to see. “Does it ever bother you?” Marcus whispered one night, desperation thick in his voice. “That you give him what you never gave me?” Sophia only smiled, distant as ever. “Alexander needs me. You… you’re just my duty.” When the earthquake shattered the banquet hall, Marcus reached for her through the falling debris. “Quinn! Please! Just take my hand—help me!” But her golden barrier was already around Alexander. She didn’t even look at Marcus as he screamed, “I’m your husband! Don’t leave me—” “I can’t save everyone,” she said, voice like ice. “Alex is injured. I promised to protect him.” As rubble crushed his body and hope faded, something ancient awoke in Marcus. Flames danced in his blood, power surging from the pain, the betrayal. From the ashes of humiliation and heartbreak, a dragon roared to life. Marcus Steel is dead. The Dragon King rises—and the Saintess will beg for mercy she never showed. DRAGON BOOK PART 2- THE PRIESTESS'S WORTHLESS HUSBAND IS A DRAGON

For four years, Pervis Howard was the perfect victim. A human blood bank for his wife's "best friend's brother." A walking ATM for Anna's designer lifestyle. A doormat who apologized for breathing too loudly. When Anna needed Noah's monthly transfusion, Pervis rolled up his sleeve. When Noah needed a place to "recover," Pervis gave up his bed. When Anna wanted to humiliate him in public, Pervis smiled and took it. But every dog has its day. After catching his wife in bed with her precious Noah, after being locked in a basement like an animal, after watching his dying grandmother thrown into the street—Pervis Howard died. In his place rose something far more dangerous: the lost heir to the Coleman octomillionaire empire. Three adopted sisters spent fifteen years searching for him. Three brilliant women raised with one mission: find the Coleman family's missing son. When Aria finally tracked down the broken man in that hospital bed, she didn't just save his life—she awakened a sleeping giant. Now the blood bank has become a war chest worth $800 million. Now the doormat commands armies of lawyers, doctors, and enforcers. Now the pathetic husband owns the very hospital where his wife plays Florence Nightingale. Now three lethal sisters stand ready to help him burn down everyone who ever wronged him. Anna wanted a divorce? She'll get papers served by federal agents. Noah needed medical care? He'll get it—on the battlefield as a combat medic. They wanted Pervis gone? They should have killed him when they had the chance. Because when an Zillionaire heir and God of War decides to collect his debts—with three vengeful sisters at his side—bankruptcy is just the beginning.

--- Title: After My Murder I Returned Blurb: I died once. Like, actually died. Knife in my ribs. Parking garage. My girlfriend, Melanie Rivers, watching while the guy she was sleeping with — Adonis Daniels — did it. All for money. Money I gave her. So, uh, imagine my surprise when I wake up... ten years earlier. Two weeks before I ever meet Melanie. I remember everything. Every bad choice. Every dollar I wasted. Every call from my dad, Damien Reed, that I ignored. Every time my mom, Sophia, cried and I wasn’t there. Every time my best friend, Jonah Carter, tried to save me and I told him to stay out of it. This time? I’m not making the same mistakes. I put the 2M into NexPay — the startup I screwed over last time. Now I’m the youngest self-made billionaire in the country. CEO of Reed Capital Group. Forbes cover. The whole thing. And Melanie? Adonis? Her stepdad Douglas who, uh, ordered the hit? They’re broke. And I own their debt. But it’s not just revenge. It’s Damien, who’s secretly sick and I only have one chance to save him. It’s Sophia, who I lost for seven years because I was too proud to come home. It’s Jonah, who drank himself to death cleaning up my messes last time. It’s... Amber Evans. An ER doctor who’s nothing like Melanie, and I have no idea how to be normal around someone who’s actually good for me. So yeah. Second life. Second pulse. Last time, I died for love. This time? I’m making them earn it. Tags: #Rebirth #Revenge #Billionaire #FamilyDrama #SecondChance #FaceSlap #Urban #MaleLead #NoHarem
