Intergalactic Officers Series by Mara Jaye

I'm not supposed to be on Earth. But, I had to come here after my young son's life was threatened. Sixth world Earth is the last place anyone should or even could come to look for me. My goal was to live here with a small detachment, let my brother rule for me, and find out who is trying to take my place on Ghar as Emperor of the Intergalactic Alliance. Except, when it's time to come home, I find I don't want to leave Earth and Pax behind.

I wake up under a pile of dead people. After pulling my way free, I see them in front of the space ship. Two men with smashed in faces, not human at all. I stay still until they’re gone, and then begin taking care of the bodies. A month goes by and I’ve turned the discarded vessel into a home of sorts. I explore the area, finding abandoned buildings among the carnivorous plant life... moreI wake up under a pile of dead people. After pulling my way free, I see them in front of the space ship. Two men with smashed in faces, not human at all. I stay still until they’re gone, and then begin taking care of the bodies. A month goes by and I’ve turned the discarded vessel into a home of sorts. I explore the area, finding abandoned buildings among the carnivorous plant life. Almost too late, alien tech in a stone temple tells me far more than I ever wanted to know about this deathtrap of a planet. Still, there’s nothing to do but eke out life alone until I see them arrive on my planet’s surface. Two bronze gods, tall, dark, and handsome, are searching around my home. I find cover in the flora, watching as they talk back and forth. Until one turns and stares straight at me. He smiles, taking several steps towards my hiding spot. Like a mouse mesmerized by a snake, I can’t run. less

As a law enforcement officer, I'd been prepared to subdue attackers by any means necessary. Killing anyone was never my goal, but now? I'm expected to engage in a fight to the death every week for unseen watchers. The Vahdmoshi, aliens who are neither little green or gray men, abducted me and several others to star in their twisted reality show. Armed drones film us in the arena when they're not keeping us in line elsewhere... moreAs a law enforcement officer, I'd been prepared to subdue attackers by any means necessary. Killing anyone was never my goal, but now? I'm expected to engage in a fight to the death every week for unseen watchers. The Vahdmoshi, aliens who are neither little green or gray men, abducted me and several others to star in their twisted reality show. Armed drones film us in the arena when they're not keeping us in line elsewhere. Every fight brings me one week closer to dying in front of beings I never expected existed. So speaking of people I don't expect? When a tall, bronze, and handsome man walks into the common area, he's a pleasant surprise. The guy is not only the best looking person I've ever met, but he's also protective and beyond interested in me. I've avoided anything but the most superficial friendships until now. I can't resist loving Decron even if I know we'll never make it out of here alive. less

One Earth woman, one Gharian man, a galaxy of trouble.SammyI'm sort of "claimed" by the best-looking, biggest-hearted man in the galaxy, so why am I on edge? Oh, right, because I'm pregnant with my now ex-husband's child, and Rawl doesn't know. He's fussing over my every need, determined to keep me happy. But how can I be when we're planet-shopping for three, not two? I can't help but wonder where will he abandon us when he finds out about the baby... moreOne Earth woman, one Gharian man, a galaxy of trouble.SammyI'm sort of "claimed" by the best-looking, biggest-hearted man in the galaxy, so why am I on edge?
