Betting on the Barbarian: A Spicy SciFi Romance

Everything’s fair game when betting on love.

It’s love at first sight for Tanl’n Maher. Not so much for the woman of his dreams. With a glare and a warning flash of her scalpel, she orders him out of her medi-ward with barely a second glance.

His inner barbarian wants to toss his prize over his shoulder and carry her off to his lair, but as the territory’s new leader, that would erode the nascent trust he’s built with his people. Determined to properly win her heart, he sets about courting her through patience, gentle wooing, and all the medical equipment her understaffed clinic needs.

Overloaded with work and familial responsibilities, Doctor Sona Vedure has no time to spare for her tenacious suitor, no matter how tight his leather pants, how impressive his horns, or how big his… motorcycle. Luckily, his low-pressure approach makes it easy to keep him at arm’s length and far from her guarded heart.

Until she loses a bet, and he calls in the marker, dragging her on a much-needed adventure across the territory. But an explosive encounter derails the plan, leaving them stranded and far from home in a place with just one bed. What’s a woman to do, when trapped with the very barbarian who wants her heart as much as he craves her body?

A standalone novella set on an untamed desert planet in the Rogue Justice Universe, this spicy scifi romance features a headstrong heroine, the steadfast hero who’s soft only for her, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
