Her. Me. Handcuffs. You think you know what we’re up to, don’t you? I’m Archer. I’ve been in trouble plenty, but I got these bad boys from home. Emily looks so good handcuffed to me. This is the only way I could think to stop her. She found out her mom was in danger, and she ran away. She wants to save her, but we’re at war. Her brother, my best friend, told me I have to keep her safe. He trusts me. Unlike every woman I’ve ever met. Maybe it’s because I don’t kiss. On the mouth anyway. But Emily’s the only woman who’s ever stood up to me.

No one asked me if this was what I wanted. To be a harbinger of change. To motivate those around me to join a rebellion. To become a symbol of hope and rebirth in a war that's not my own. Yet, the duty has been thrust upon me, and it's not one I can refuse. Challenged from all sides, I'm forced to make increasingly harder choices as I learn to trust my gut and the powers that burn within me. As my past and my future collide, Damien, Ryder, Theo, Killian, Hiro, and I are all pushed to step up and take on responsibilities that none of us have prepared for.

I thought waking up on a spaceship was traumatic. That's got nothing on returning to consciousness while shackled in a cell. The kicker? I'm supposed to be a breeder for the alien in the cell next to me. My mother always told me I had birthing hips, but I don't think she meant they were for pushing out blue extraterrestrials. I want to hate my cellmate, but he's a prisoner, too, and so far he's taken a few beatings to protect me....

Fight or flight only works when you know who you're up against. There's no running from an enemy who is constantly several steps ahead. The best you can do is stand and face them. Finding my mate should have been a time to rejoice, not the catalyst for disaster. The closer we become, the more danger we find ourselves in. Shocking revelations and buried secrets surface, only reinforcing the truth that Griffin and I are in big trouble. One thing is clear, we can’t win if we don’t even know who we’re up against. I’m not quite sure if we’ll be able to make it out alive.

I've spent years raising my sister. Starting a billion-dollar company to keep her secure. That's all that's ever mattered. Now she's at college, and I take one night for myself...a little wild freedom. Guess what happens? It was only supposed to be one night - but she left me desperate for more. Searching for the girl with the sparkling blue eyes and wild passion. Ava Lockley. The one who danced and kissed and cried out with total abandon in my arms. When she walked out in the middle of the night, I thought I'd never find her again.

I know why my mom moved us around every three months and acted like we were on the most-wanted list. We've been running from the man that should have protected us, a man that decided he wanted my mother to himself and all the power that came with her. A man that is probably my father. Keeping me a secret from the Infinity community can't last much longer. I've already bonded with half of my Infinity. Our lives are changing, and my powers are growing as is my acceptance of who I really am.

Nope, I'm in a whole new galaxy on a foreign planet and some body-builder-looking blue horned aliens with lots of piercings have decided I'm their new play thing. And not in a good way. Until one alien decides he's not going to share, and maybe I have a concussion from the crash, because I'm all about the possessive way he protects me. But there's no way he'll fight his whole clan for me . . . right?
