I've spent most of my time on this alien planet alone in the wrecked human ship. Now that I'm living with the other girls and the barbarian warriors at the Cliffs of Uruzai, I'm finding it hard to adjust. These Sea Sand guys are just so... alien. They're nothing compared to the beast that comes stalking out of the shadows of the cliffs one night. He has a snout, claws, and a massive spiked tail. He's more monster than a man, and even worse than that, he claims he has a human mate. When his dark eyes settle on me, I know with a sinking feeling exactly who it is he's been looking for.

Help isn’t coming. When Carise wakes up on an alien planet, running is her only chance at escape, even if being caught means death. She’d rather die than face whatever her captors plan to do to her. Guerran is no safe place for healing, and every moment is fear. Until Jaek, a gentle giant of an alien, makes himself her protector. But when their fragile bond is tested, Carise knows she must find strength within herself to become brave enough to survive Guerran. This time she won’t let herself be taken. And she’s not leaving her mate behind.

When her search puts her in Mad's path, she isn't sure whether she should kiss him or stab him. He's as handsome as the devil, and practically a giant with a huge...axe. The aliens on Guerran are criminals and she can't trust him. But she needs a guide and Mad is her only hope. She certainly can't fall for him. No matter how much he makes her yearn. Guerran is the dumping ground for Kru'dari criminals and Mad has been ekeing out a life there for six years. But when Kenzie appears, suddenly he's thinking about the future, and one word keeps ringing in his head. Mate.

Two sisters. Two irresistible aliens. One deadly planet where love is the most dangerous risk of all. Kenzie will do anything to save her sister—even if it means trusting Mad, a sinfully gorgeous but dangerous alien who makes her heart pound and her body burn. He’s as much a criminal as anyone on Guerran, a planet full of exiles and outlaws, but he’s also her only hope. Their attraction is instant, and impossible to ignore. But while Kenzie dreams of escaping with her sister, Mad is trapped on this world forever.

I'm caught between two alien warriors, sworn enemies intent on destroying each other. The one thing they agree on: I’m their mate. The prison planet is a dumpster fire. War is coming. The Draekons are on high-alert. I’m freaking out. The Zorahn soldiers are looking for the nine human women that crash-landed on the prison planet, and whether we like it or not, they intend to send us back home. Then I get captured by two hot hunky alien warriors.... Cax, leader of the fabled lost city of the Draekons. Hurux, the commander who wants to send me back to Earth.

It took less than 90 days for my happy ending to fall apart. Stuck on an alien planet? I can deal. Abducted by rogue prisoners? No problem. Mated to two powerful, sexy Draekons? Let’s be real. It’s not a hardship. After three months on the prison planet, I think I’m finally free of my demons. But my mates have been plotting to escape the prison planet. Without me.

How to fail as an intergalactic spy: 1. Crash spaceship on wrong planet. 2. Break leg. 3. Get abducted by rogue prisoners. 4. End up with two pairs of dragon-shifters claiming I’m their mate. They intend to court me until I choose between them. Secret mission or not, I’m gonna end up with two Draekon mates.

For thousands of years, the Sollirians abducted children from their homeworlds to fuel their magic. Inez would know. She was one of them. Like other star-maids, she was tethered to an archlord, Rylec. Unlike other star-maids, she fell for him, and he helped her escape. Three years later, Inez can’t forget Rylec or the other star-maids she left behind. Unable to return to Earth, she’s spent her time smuggling others out on unsuspecting intergalactic cruise ships.

When mutants from civilization’s end come roaring back from exile, telepath Langston Wheeler must confront assassination, interstellar intrigue, and a woman he can’t resist. Once, telepaths almost wiped out humanity. Years later, a brotherhood called the Gentle Hand lives to keep it from happening again. But sometimes a telepath is born outside their order.

There might be a way out of the prison planet. The only problem? I don’t want to go. Back on Earth is a man who wants to kill me. Back on Earth, I slept with a knife under my pillow to be safe. There’s no coffee on the prison planet. No pizza. No chocolate. I should be thrilled that there might be a way back home. Except I don’t want to return. Here, I feel safe. Because Mike isn’t here. And because Thrax and Zorux are. But I’ve sworn off guys. No matter how hot they are.
