Product: The Captive (Revised Edition): A Sci-Fi Alien Romance (Betania Breed Book 1)
Description: Cassie Burnett

I’m one of the few people who has yet to give up the fight against the Sethari.
I would rather die than surrender to the aliens who have enslaved us humans for more than one hundred years.

Then the unthinkable happens: a different race of aliens land on Earth and offer a trade to the humans. In exchange for healthy women, they will destroy the tyrants.

The leader of the aliens claims me as his to bear him healthy, viable children.

He’s strong. Powerful. Terrifying.

I saw how he destroyed the Sethari, and I’m prepared for anything.

Khazaar Drasurq

A life for a life—that’s the agreement.
We fought and won.

Now I’m taking the reward our people deserve: healthy human women who will give us children to save my people from extinction. The exchange brings Cassie into my possession. She is one of many who will bear my people viable children.

But when my spaceship crashes on hostile territory, she becomes desirable prey in the eyes of my enemies. I won't let anything happen to her. Nothing and no one will stop me—I will defend what belongs to me.

Even if I have to destroy the entire planet.

She is mine.

Product: The Commander's Fated Mate: A Sci-Fi Alien Romance: The Warriors of Debiraan Book One
Description: Ezon

He is a Commander of the Debir Forces. One with countless accolades behind him.

Now, he’s been relegated to oversee the Debiraan Embassy on Earth, a planet whose humans are ungrateful and ignorant of the risk they’d faced had he and his people not saved them from the threat of the Baza.

The only good that had come of it, and he used that term loosely, was that these humans were reproductively compatible with his species, offering his fellow Debir’s hope that whatever the Baza had done to dwindle their population could be overcome.

Still, he has no desire for such things, or worse...to find his huerta -his other half-, something all Debirs long for and cherish above all else.

He isn’t sure what’s worse: that he found his huerta...or that she’s human.

Such a thing should not be possible. Yet, the more he tries to deny it, the stronger the pull towards her, and he’s losing the battle to keep himself away.

Leila

The Debir had invaded Earth. Well, that’s what people said anyways. Leila wasn’t so sure, although she’d been one of the lucky ones who didn’t have her life upheaved at the revelation that aliens do exist.

A chance walk has her coming to the aid of a Debir in need, an event that all but turns her life completely upside down.

Suddenly, she can’t get a certain seven-foot tall, gray-skinned and golden-eyed Debir Commander out of her thoughts. What’s worse, there’s a song in her head that is apparently known as the Calling. Like some sort of guaranteed biological match-making service.

No thank you.

There is no love at first sight or instant compatibility, and she certainly had no need for a husband or partner. If only fate would cooperate.

A security threat now has her stuck with a bunch of other humans. On a ship. In space. His ship.

She isn’t sure what’s worse: that she’s experiencing the Calling for a man she doesn’t even know...or that he’s just as frustrated about being Called to her as she is.

This is the first novel-length story in The Warriors of Debiraan series. All future novels in the series can be read as a stand-alone but will still be inter-connected. HEA guaranteed.

If you’re looking for a semi slow-burn steamy story about strong, independent women and the sexy alien men, then you will not be disappointed.

Product: Power Fantasy: Chronicles of the Shattered Earth Volume 2
Description: Scott Ambrose fought the good fight, but with his life stuck on an unending repeat of death and frustration, he has chosen to break the cycle. In order to save his friends from the zombie plague that kills them with each reload of the world, he has chosen to journey into a new fantastical parody world to get the help and resources he needed. It is a world of sorcery and steel. A place he refers to affectionately as, Fantasy Australia.

With the help of a non-union parody equivalent to a certain goddess of uselessness, an overly amorous and masochistic crusader, and a strangely attractive lich, he seeks the answer to the puzzle that haunts his mind. Can he cure the zombie plague? Can he save his friends?

This story is a work of parody. It borrows only as much from the source as is needed to tell the tale and nothing more. It contains adult situations, sexual situations, gore, and a useless goddess who is mostly her own worst enemy.

Product: Alien Hunter's Claim: An Alien Sci-fi Romance (Alien's Frozen Mate Book 1)
Description: She’s the last human in the galaxy, and no Cygnian can resist a human.

After six long years of hunting, Helios has finally found his prize. She’s a perfectly preserved human from the 21st century. Or not so perfectly preserved⁠—her cryochamber cracks while he’s stealing her, and he’s forced to wake her up.

Her human scent fills his ship, and every cell in his body screams out for him to take hold of her delicate, feminine shape. But she’s worth more than an entire planet, and he knows if he touches her, he’ll never be able to let go.

Just before Kara was hit by a truck, she’d sworn to herself she was done with all of humanity for the next hundred years, especially men. So when she wakes up over 1,000 years in the future in an alien’s arms, it’s like fate is taunting her.

Helios swears he’s going to sell her⁠—that her stay on his ship is temporary. That’s too bad, because his body is cut like a Greek god, and his alien scent is like a drug she doesn’t want to quit. He says he hates humans, but the looks he gives her with those glowing blue eyes tell an entirely different story.

He could take her if he wanted and she couldn’t resist. He claims he just wants the money, but she knows there’s a deeper reason, one that drives him to ignore the most powerful and primal of urges in the galaxy. Will his resolve hold, or will he give in to what his heart truly wants and claim her as his own?

Alien Hunter's Claim is a full-length, standalone alien sci-fi romance. It features a possessive, alpha alien with his human mate. There are no cliffhangers or cheating, and a happily ever after is guaranteed!

Product: Seeker
Description: A breathtaking near-future thriller. From the New York Times bestselling author whose books have sold over a million copies.
A small alien spacecraft with extraordinary secrets. And a mad scramble to get to it first.
When an interstellar probe lands in the heart of the Amazon Jungle, powerful nations around the world will stop at nothing to retrieve it. Because the unoccupied alien craft is sure to contain revolutionary technology. Technology that will allow the country that controls it to dominate the globe.
With the probe hidden within the densest rainforest on Earth, traditional military power is useless. So the US chooses to send in a single operative, a man who's been enhanced to the limits of current technology. He'll be greatly outnumbered, and with so much on the line, not even the closest of allies can be trusted.
But the true stakes are higher than anyone could possibly know. Because all is not what it seems.
And the alien spacecraft has plans of its own . . .
Seeker is a fast-paced, roller-coaster ride of a thriller. One that explores actual human enhancements being worked on today, along with mind-blowing concepts that readers will be pondering long after they've read the last page.
