These three beings will have the chance to get everything they’ve ever wanted…but to keep it, they’ll have to go to war. less

Coming to Haven colony should have marked the start of her new life, but the past isn’t done with her, yet. River had negotiated the agreement that brought the survivors of Reamus Station to Haven. Back then, she’d dreamed it would be a sanctuary for her cyborg brethren, somewhere out of reach from those who had created and tormented them. She’d been wrong. Now her home, her friends, and the future she worked so hard for are all in danger… because of her... moreComing to Haven colony should have marked the start of her new life, but the past isn’t done with her, yet.

Back then, she’d dreamed it would be a sanctuary for her cyborg brethren, somewhere out of reach from those who had created and tormented them. She’d been wrong. Now her home, her friends, and the future she worked so hard for are all in danger… because of her. He’d vowed to protect every cyborg in Haven… but he’d take on the galaxy to keep her safe. Edge doesn’t have any illusions about who or what he is–a weapon forged in the heat of battle and quenched in the blood of his kills. As happy as he is for the rest of his brethren to settle into new lives, he can’t see himself doing the same. It’s enough for him to watch over them from a distance, especially when it comes to River. She’s beautiful, frustratingly stubborn, and far too good for him. When an old enemy threatens their new home, these broken souls will have to decide which rules are worth breaking, and which chances are worth taking. less

The only thing that ever came easy for her was trouble. After a lifetime of busting her ass and bending the law just to scrape by, Hezza is running on fumes. Her ship is even older than she is, and both are feeling their age. Is she ready to retire? Hell no. Hanging up her flight suit is the last thing she wants, even if it’s the smart thing to do... moreThe only thing that ever came easy for her was trouble. After a lifetime of busting her ass and bending the law just to scrape by, Hezza is running on fumes. Her ship is even older than she is, and both are feeling their age. Is she ready to retire? Hell no. Hanging up her flight suit is the last thing she wants, even if it’s the smart thing to do. Before she can make that choice, though, trouble finds her again… and this time it comes with a double order of hard muscles, sinful smiles, and alpha attitude. They had nothing. No past. No future. No names. Then she appeared… and everything changed. Subjects Six and Seven are failed experiments. Created in secret using banned technology and stolen DNA, they were crafted as weapons for a not-so-distant war. Too stubborn to be controlled and too valuable to terminate, they exist only to serve… and to dream of freedom. Fate brought three battered hearts together, but it will take more than luck to survive the coming storm. Hezza is their key to happiness, and the cyborgs are her first rays of hope in a life spent in the shadows. Together, they’re going to change the galaxy… or die trying. less
