Ian Foley is not a good man. At least, that's what he thinks. He's on his way to Alaska, looking for something to save his soul. On the way, he runs into a boy in need of a savior-or at the very least, a friend. But appearances aren't everything they seem. The mysterious Sam has secrets of his own, and soon Ian realizes he's in well over his head, on a ride that's out of control. It might be just the opportunity Ian needs to prove he's changed, or it might the final thing that tips the scales towards his ultimate ruin. [This story is a spin-off of "Heart's Blood."

When Lauren Everhart and his former high school bully, Peter Ducane, are thrown together in the chaos of an alien invasion, the last thing either expects is to rely on the other to survive. As Earth falls under attack, Lauren suddenly manifests dangerous psychic abilities, drawing the attention of the Lyriascan Empire and its ruthless ruler, Adamas Son'Raul, a conqueror determined to claim Lauren as his future mate. Hunted across a collapsing world, Lauren and Peter are forced into an uneasy alliance, confronting buried resentment, unresolved attraction, and heated hostility. But as Lauren's powers grow and the enemy closes in, their unchecked desires threaten to become just as dangerous as the invasion itself. With Earth's future hanging in the balance, can Lauren and Peter stay one step ahead of their pursuers, and their explosive attraction, long enough to stop the Emperor determined to take the planet, and Lauren, by force?
