Giselle didn't know how long she lay near catatonic willing the terrible headache to go away. She sat up as one of the reptilian aliens entered. Giselle backed up and looked around realizing she was alone in a gilded cage. "What's going on? " She stammered. "If you're wise you'll keep quiet, pets don't speak on this planet.

Giselle backed up and looked around realizing she was alone in a gilded cage. "What's going on? " She stammered. "If you're wise you'll keep quiet, pets don't speak on this planet. " The creature admonished. A pet? Giselle's eyes widened. She hadn't misheard. Her cage was moved into a large tent. There were hundreds of aliens gathered for the auction, and these creatures were the largest yet. Their flesh was red like some kind of demon might be, with hair a uniform dark black. From what Giselle could see their eyes were a stone cold obsidian hue. Giselle noticed the fearsome creatures had long tails that rose out from what looked like chain mail kilts. Giselle shrunk back when she saw the creatures also had sharp fangs. How in the hell could she get out of this and if she did how could she possibly survive on an alien planet? Kagan beheld his pet. Nothing like her kind had ever set foot on Cadi. Kagan wondered where in the universe her unique species hailed from. Giselle refused to behave and even enjoyed his attempts to rebuke her, reveling in the rough handling a male usually held back with females. Giselle was brave instead of meek, standing up for herself in a sea of foreigners. Kagan had at first insisted that Giselle understand her place in Cadi society. But something more valuable than precious metal or jewels would be lost if Giselle was forced into the role everyone thought she belonged. Can Giselle find acceptance and love on an alien planet or will she always be nothing more than a warrior's pet? less

Riley was sick of constantly getting the short end of the stick. If it wasn’t enough that she’d been sent to prison for her brother’s crimes, then got abducted by aliens; being hauled onto the auction block certainly took the cake. “You know what, fine, bring it on! ”. Unwittingly, Riley goaded Fate into throwing everything it could at her, and it did... moreRiley was sick of constantly getting the short end of the stick. If it wasn’t enough that she’d been sent to prison for her brother’s crimes, then got abducted by aliens; being hauled onto the auction block certainly took the cake. “You know what, fine, bring it on! ”. Unwittingly, Riley goaded Fate into throwing everything it could at her, and it did. The sadistic b****, Destiny, put not only the lives of thousands into her trembling hands, but then it twisted the knife, making Riley fall for a man who was untouchable. “Life isn’t fair,” Riley gave a slight bitter laugh, her chin quivering. “It culls the sick and the weak from the herd with cruel efficiency. It doesn’t care if you can’t handle the avalanche that it rains down on you. It doesn’t know the meaning of mercy. It takes and takes, till you have nothing left to give, then casts you aside. ”. But Riley refused to break under the weight of it all. She couldn’t. The human colony, and Earth itself, depended on her. Riley just wished she could trust her instincts about the massive red-skinned alien who showed up at the auction to buy her. Unfortunately, she’d been hurt one too many times to take the risk, and the secrets she kept were more important than the suffering of a lone individual. Cyprian turned his back on his family’s less than honorable legacy, choosing instead to dedicate his life to serving the people of Cadi. It was that dogged focus on his duty, that led Cyprian to the off-world auction, playing the part of a traitor. His mission was to find who was behind a series of abductions, and bring everyone safely back home. Except rescuing the tattooed, dark haired human didn’t happen the way it should have. With her unbreakable spirit and hot body, Riley stripped Cyprian of the control he fought so hard to maintain. Yet the warrior found he couldn’t live without the pain in the a**. “You are mine. I never lied about that,” Cyprian growled at Riley. “You know it’s true. Stop lying to yourself. Don’t force me to tie you up, because you know I will. I may not be able to get you to spill all your secrets, but there’s one thing I’ll force from your lips. ” It wasn’t an idle threat. Cyprian would seduce Riley till she admitted she was his. Discover how Riley and Cyprian drive each other mad and fall madly in love, while putting it all on the line to save their people, in Warrior’s Pain. less

He awoke to find himself imprisoned in a human stronghold, fighting against the drugs they used to subdue him. That’s where he found her, his enemy and his only salvation. Working for a secret branch of the government had taken its toll on Maya, but there was no way out, not if she wanted to hold back Armageddon and protect everyone she loved. The beast of a red man from an unknown race who showed up on her operating table only highlighted what she’d fought to repress – she couldn’t spend another day in this living hell.

Aculus, a bone-armored warrior, proved to be her lifeline. He saved her more than once, and assured her he had the ability to heal her dad on his home world... moreAfter the week Nadzia had, she was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Learning aliens exist was freaky enough, let alone being chased and imprisoned by her own paranoid government. Then her baby sister decided to go live on a foreign planet, and her dad was nearly killed by a missile strike. It was enough to bring her to her knees. Aculus, a bone-armored warrior, proved to be her lifeline. He saved her more than once, and assured her he had the ability to heal her dad on his home world. Aculus even reunited her with the sister she thought died in a plane crash. Putting up with the hopeless flirt and total bonehead as they traveled across the cosmos was a small price to pay for such miracles. When Aculus met the delicate beauty, she was wounded and afraid, instantly inciting his protective side. But Nadzia swiftly put him in his place, making him laugh with her spirited retorts. Then he discovered she was the only one who could strip away his armor, revealing the male within. He should’ve been overjoyed to find the female every Osivoire male hunts for, his weakness; except the timing couldn’t be worse. Nadzia was courageous, but she’d need more than her brazen wit to survive, if the Conclave discovered she was his mate. Somewhere between Earth and Osi, amidst their sarcastic banter, Nadzia falls in love with Aculus. Is she brave enough to take a chance on love? Can she prove to Aculus and everyone else she’s more than some weak human? To hold onto the man she loves, Nadzia will have to dig deep and unleash her inner warrior.

For two long years she’d been struggling on the baked and barren hellish planet, forced to survive all alone. The only thing that keeps her going is watching over her fellow humans, still in stasis and blissfully unaware of the nightmare all around. Then one day all that changes. She should’ve known better than to follow the crashing ship, because what she found in the wrecked cruiser is the devil himself. The alien is huge, muscles for days, with blood red skin, a tail, and fangs. It doesn’t matter that he’s built like a god and she is so very, very alone, she can’t afford to put her faith in the devil. Payim’s whole body is sore as he regains consciousness, though not as sore as his pride. This was supposed to be a simple reconnaissance mission. Go in, look for wreckage from the colony ship or proof the vile Jurou Biljana are building an outpost, then get out. He couldn’t believe he crashed. When his vision clears, he spots the petite human and her big brown eyes filled with terror. Before he can get out of his seat, she runs. As much as he hates chasing the frightened little survivor, he’s here to help. Elena has been lost for years, Payim lost for a lifetime, but love finds them both in Warrior Rescued.
