Between her work as a nurse and trying to keep her teenage sister from doing something stupid, Meg Cauthran has her hands full. Since the death of her parents from malfunctioning alien technology, Meg has lived with one simple truth: The aliens are nothing but trouble. And when she's assigned to a Karuvar medical facility, the impossibly sexy, incredibly possessive Verkiir proves just how right she is. As First Guardian, Verkiir fer Vel’a is entrusted with the very future of the Karuvar--protecting the Pathfinder’s only son. Despite his people's tales of fated mates, Verkiir only believes in one thing: His duty. But when he lays eyes on the feisty Meg, all he can think about is claiming all of her--heart, body, and soul--for his own. Their desire may burn brighter than the fiercest sun, but Verkiir wants more than one scorching hot night. Trying to convince Meg of their shared destiny is no easy feat, though. Especially when he has no idea what a human female even wants from a mate. When their charges go missing in the dangerous ruins of a decimated Earth city, Verkiir and Meg are forced to rely on each other and the bond they share. But is the world truly ready to accept a union between a human and a Karuvar? And can they learn to trust each other--to overcome their prejudices--or are they destined to be torn apart? Verkiir is the first novel in an exciting new sci fi romance series. It features a super sexy alpha alien hero, a confident, sassy heroine, and explicit scenes not suitable for the faint of heart! less

Addison Monroe has dedicated her life to studying the Karuvar, striving to bridge the gap between their longevity and that of her fellows humans. Work has always been her focus, and she refuses to let love come before scientific achievement the way her mother once did. But when she’s unable to place a life-sustaining implant in the first child born to human and Karuvar, Addison is forced to rely on the expertise of the most arrogant, infuriating Karuvar she’s ever met… who also happens to be her mate. Kor’ven is no stranger to the pitfalls of Karuvar science, and he has spent his life trying to make up for the costly mistakes of the past. Once involved in a flagship project to manipulate Karuvar genes, he’s spent every waking hour trying to prove that the Karuvar’s greatest strength--their ability to adapt--may be slowly killing them. The last thing he needs is the passionate, driven human scientist he so desperately wants to claim as his own. The force between them is magnetic, and collision is inevitable. But with time running out, Addison is forced to make a desperate choice between the future of Karuvar and humans… and her future with Kor’ven. Kor'ven is the second novel in the Warriors of the Karuvar sci-fi romance series. It can be read as a standalone, but it's recommended you read the first book, Verkiir, for the full experience. less

But as his mate, she might just destroy him first. Ren Alvarez doesn’t remember the last five years of her life. Taken hostage by an anti-alien terrorist organization and forced to write malicious code to target the Karuvar, she hasn’t been in control of her own destiny--or even her own mind--for a long time. When a massive, brutish, sexy-as-hell Karuvar warlord storms the base where she’s being held, she doesn’t know her salvation has arrived. After all, as far as he’s concerned, she’s the enemy. It doesn’t matter that he keeps saying she’s his mate. As Conqueror, Rhavos has spent his life eliminating threats to the Karuvar and bringing other, lesser species to heel. A group of rebel humans should be an easy problem to solve, but when he finds his mate among them, Rhavos does the one thing he swore he’d never do: He hesitates. To have any hope of bringing down a common foe, Rhavos and Ren are forced to trust each other. For the first time in her life, Ren learns to rely on someone other than herself, placing the protection of her mind and body in the very capable--and very talented--hands of an alpha male who would eviscerate anyone who even looks at her the wrong way. But even the strongest bonds will be tested as the Karuvar face a new threat. And when tragedy strikes, Ren and Rhavos are put to the ultimate test: Betray their people, or stand together no matter the consequences? Rhavos is the third novel in the Warriors of the Karuvar sci-fi romance series. It features a super-protective alpha alien hero, a badass hacker heroine, and explicit scenes not suitable for the feint of heart! less
