The Department of Homeworld Security, Book 2 Kira excels in her role as a planetary observer, but two years is a long time to be alone on the listening station orbiting Earth. In a moment of weakness, she answers one of the many voices reaching for deep space. Brendan Sloan never thought he’d get a response to his transmissions. He suspects Kira is simply a government lackey keeping an eye on him between his top-secret communications projects. Still, her sultry voice is a geeky dream come true. He’s stunned when an escape pod lands in his back yard, even more so when the alien who emerges removes her helmet and opens her luscious lips to speak. He knows that voice. It’s Kira, and she’s had to destroy her station to keep it out of enemy hands. Their meeting of the minds—and of the flesh—is beyond anything they ever dreamed. But when they discover what the Tau Ceti are really after, they may not have a nanite’s chance in hell of saving Earth, much less their love. Warning: Contains a hot geeky billionaire, an alien just learning what she can do with her lady parts, and vampire space frogs. Yeah, you heard me. less

Buddy never meant to stow away on an alien warship. He just wanted to surprise Nika, the girl of his dreams, with a holiday dinner she’d never forget. But now, he’s stuck aboard the Reckoning with his dog, of all things, headed to a star system far from Earth and the Christmas dinner where he planned to introduce Nika to his family.

With a war going on throughout the galaxy, it’s up to her to create sanctuaries for sentients who have lost their homeworlds. When she’s called aboard the Reckoning to track down odd system errors—and pulled from a holiday dinner with Buddy—she knows something’s gone very wrong. It goes from bad to worse when she finds Buddy and his dog on board. Now, they have to work together to figure out how to fix the ship for good, keep Buddy and his dog hidden, and forge an alliance with a planet full of super strong warriors with impulse control issues. For a galaxy at war, can a chef, his dog, and a little holiday four-part-harmony pave the way to peace? Contains an excerpt from Gray Card, book one of The Department of Homeworld Security. less
