Conquered World

He shattered her world. Can she trust him with her heart? Giant spiders, walking trees, bloodthirsty vines. For Jeneva, it's just another day trying to survive in the jungles of Ankau. Until the sky ripped open, and the true monsters came through. Now her world is under attack, and the only place of safety may be at the side of a rock-hard scaled alien. But he's filled with secrets — how can she trust him? Vrehx cares for nothing other than the destruction of the Xathi hordes who burned his home and killed his family.

Her heart is closed, safe behind walls of ice. Can a berserker alien with a dark past shatter her defenses? Brilliant chemist Leena guards her heart with a sharp tongue and steely focus on her work. A battle-happy jock would be the last traveling companion she ever picked — even if he was human. One of the alien warriors? Not a chance. But there's more to Axtin than his green skin and interesting stripes. His strong arms will protect her from attackers, but as her emotions start to thaw, who will save her from him?

When you know you’re going to die young, you can react in a few ways. Harden your heart. Fight destiny. Or roll with the hand you’re dealt and enjoy what time you have. Archivist Mariella thought all hope of a cure for her disease had been lost long before the Xathi invaded. The war sped up her timeline, nothing more. The warriors of the Vengeance? Friends only. Even if one of them calls to her heart and sparks new desires within her… Tu’ver and the rest of the K’ver people esteem logic and order above all. He has a function. To fight with the crew of the Vengeance. To kill the Xathi.

Dr. Evangeline Parr lost it all when the Xathi attacked Fraga. When she's asked to establish a clinic in the devastated town of Einhiv, she jumps at the chance to help. The only problem? A smart ass, joking Skotan warrior. He's a terrible patient. Impossible. Refuses to take anything seriously. Until they're caught in an explosive situation, and a new side of him emerges. Protective. Efficient. And very intriguing. Sakev joined the Skotan fleet after an... unusual career.

You’d be a bit of a b *tch, too. If everyone has left you, died on you, and laughed at your dreams, you might have a few issues. And then to have your planet invaded right when you’re about to follow through on the one thing you have left? Done. Amira’s not particularly interested in making friends. When she hears a rumor that the alien war ship may soon depart, she’s done. This time she’ll be the one doing the leaving. But no matter how hard she makes her heart, she can’t help but want to help the refugees sheltering in the Vengeance.

Discipline. Duty. Desire. Skotan General Rouhr will destroy the Xathi on Ankau, whatever the cost. It's the only honorable solution for allowing the war to infect the human colony world. As soon as their ship is repaired, he and his men will be gone, back to the battle raging in the homeworlds. But the smiling eyes of one brave human leader set fire to his soul, the touch of her soft skin against his scales becomes an addiction. Needing her may be a distraction from his mission, but he can't stop. Not now. Vidia knows her time with Rouhr is limited.

The focus of K'ver soldiers is legendary. But the bright eyes of one human female threaten to distract Iq'her from his mission. A rising tide of anti-alien sentiment threatens to destroy the fragile steps towards peace. Iq'her's assignment is to infiltrate one of the breakaway groups and try to keep them from doing too much damage. But Stasia's sharp will and lush curves make his blood boil. And when she's in danger? All bets are off. Stasia knows she isn't anyone important. Nobody special. Just one of the thousands of survivors trying to build a new life.

Nosy, undisciplined humans aren't high on his list. Not until a brilliant, beautiful doctor sets all his senses on fire. Living with his brother Rokul and his human mate Tella was quite enough for Takar. A life in the military taught him to be controlled. Restrained. Rules were there for a reason, even if the humans never seemed to understand. But when a curious human woman bursts into his duty station, he can't get escape his thoughts of her. And when she plunges into danger, he'll ignore his own rules to keep his mate safe. Scientist Daphne is terrible with mysteries.

She's only a mission. Until she becomes his everything. Zarik would do anything to regain his honor. Even step out of the shadows to try to help one of the frail human females regain her memory. But with every clue, he's less interested in righting the wrongs of his own past, and more about keeping her safe. Keeping her at his side. Just keeping her. Miri has no past. Waking alone in the forest, she stumbles into a strange new world, with giant alien warriors living along side humans. And a devastating war that somehow she missed. Or did she?

He's a giant green muscled warrior. And he might be the most exciting risk she ever takes. Tyehn is a rare Valorni warrior. Steady. Dependable. Not typically prone to violent rages. So when he's matched with a risk-taking, impulsive human scientist he's shocked to discover every last ounce of his self-control is out the window... Maki loves adventure. Taking risks. Pushing the limits. Being chased by a new form of hybrids through a frozen jungle? That's pushing it a little too far. Probably. The big, sexy warrior at her side makes her heart race in all sorts of new ways. And she likes it.
