## Synopsis

### Part 1 - Stolen

"You'd think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you'd be wrong. Because now, the aliens are having ship trouble, and they've left their cargo of human women - including me - on an ice planet.

And the only native inhabitant I've met? He's big, horned, blue, and really, really has a thing for me..."

### Part 2 - Captive

"My new alien friend has claimed me for his own. Which is good, because he's feeding me and making sure I don't turn into a human-shaped popsicle...

...and bad, because I need to rescue my friends and he seems happy to carry me off to his love nest. So now I have to pick: survival or rescue? Problem is, this big, sexy, and possessive alien male has ideas of his own..."

### Part 3 - Lost

"Frying pan, meet fire! Everything on this alien planet's out to kill me. My delicious alien barbarian, Vektal? He thinks I'm his mate. Which wouldn't be a bad thing, except that I don't plan on staying on this ice planet. But I can't tell him that, because I need him, and not just for survival.

And okay, maybe being an alien barbarian's love-bunny isn't the worst thing in the world, but can I convince him to save my friends? Or am I too late?"

### Part 4 - Found

"I've convinced my big alien barbarian that he needs to help my friends, but of course there's a problem. Not only is this planet cold and dangerous, it's killing us slowly. My alien offers to mount a rescue with his people, but I'm afraid that a 'rescue' means they're going to try and claim all the human women as mates.

I'm having a hard time remembering why that's a bad thing, though..."

### Part 5 - Truth

"Now that I've learned the alien barbarian's language, all the holes are filling in. Ahem. Not like that. Okay, like that, too.

The problems are mounting. The alien abductors are coming back. My fellow human captives are dying as we speak. And the alien hunks? When they claim, it's forever. We've got to decide how to proceed, and soon, because whatever path we choose?"

### Part 6 - Resonance

"I've fallen in love with my alien barbarian. But there's a tiny complication with our 'mating' that I've just been made aware of. The timing is awful, because I have to decide - do I stay, or do I go? Staying means a life with him...and an awful, *awful* side-effect. But is the alternative even worse?

Am I brave enough to claim a strange new life on this planet with the man I've grown to love? Or should I keep my sights set on Earth?"

"Twelve humans are left stranded on a wintry alien planet. I’m one of them. Yay, me.

In order to survive, we have to take on a symbiont that wants to rewire our bodies to live in this brutal place. I like to call it a cootie. And my cootie’s a jerk, because it also thinks I’m the mate to the biggest, surliest alien of the group."

### Part 2 - Broken

"Kidnapped by my alien ‘mate’, I’m struggling with the sensations in my body as well as silent Raahosh’s moods. We don’t get along…but I can’t help but want the guy.

I blame the alien symbiont I'm forced to have in order to stay alive. It must be the reason why looking at the big, delicious alien gets me so hot and bothered, right?"

### Part 3 - Asunder

"My alien and I have reached a truce, sort of. He treats me like an equal, and I lick him everywhere I can. Well, okay, so that's not the exact terms of the truce, but it's what I'm going with. I'm not falling for the big guy.

I'm not.

Really.

But when he saves my life, I regret not giving in to my body's demands. And now it might be too late..."

### Part 4 - Reborn

"If Raahosh lives, I’m going to smother him with loving. Maybe this ‘mated’ thing isn’t so bad after all. But just when I’m coming around to the big guy…

Someone else shows up to the party."

### Part 5 - Claimed

"I've claimed my alien for my mate, just in time for both of us to be dragged back to the tribal caves. I'm reunited with my human friends but it's not a happy occasion.

Raahosh has broken the laws of his people...and now they want to take him from me."

### Part 6 - Forever

"Everything seems to be piling on at once: I'm pregnant, the aliens are revolting against my mate, and not even my human friends have my back. It's time for me to buck the system to get what I want. But can I go against everything to claim the guy as mine?

Even if it means exile with him?"
