Into the Black Hole by EricaABlair

In the near future, humans have colonized Mars, joined pirates in space, and divided Earth into two vastly different nations: The United Empires and Liansa. When a mission to Mars goes awry, Ailee Chambers---a Sergeant in Earth's Interstellar Force---is left for dead in a spaceship with no life support, and an alien contraption wrapped around her neck. She is rescued, but there's no cause for celebration, because her saviors are pirates, disgusting monsters who kill Martians and Earthers for sport. Yet, when the Captain of the pirates' ship, Felix Oringo, enlists her help to unravel the plans of Boss---the leader of all pirates---Ailee begins sympathizing with her snarky captor. Boss claims he will liberate Liansans from their dictatorship, but Ailee remains unconvinced. After all, what do men in power want? More power. However, in her quest to unveil the leader's plans, the irresistible Boss falls for her, complicating her relationship with Felix, her loyalty to the United Empires, and matters of the heart. For the first time in history, Mars and Earth combine forces to eliminate Boss and retrieve Ailee---why is she so important?---and it's a toss up as to who makes it out alive. * * * Ranking: #5 in femmefatale

Starlit Boundaries by bluesparkles2

Dahlia Vega never thought her defiance would lead to disaster. Grounded after a heated argument with her teacher about the existence of aliens, she finds herself alone-until a spaceship crashes into her backyard. Inside is Kael, an alien unlike anything she imagined. His glowing skin and piercing lavender eyes are otherworldly, but his detached, emotionless demeanor makes him infuriating. Kael's people don't believe in love or emotion-they pair only for survival. To him, Dahlia is just another variable in a complex mission. But when her father-Earth's most ruthless alien hunter-discovers their connection, Kael has no choice but to protect her, even if it means risking his life. Thrown into a deadly game of pursuit across the galaxy, Dahlia and Kael must rely on each other to survive. But their differences run deeper than species: where Dahlia's fiery emotions burn bright, Kael's cold logic dominates. secrets unfold and truths about Kael's mission are revealed, Dahlia must decide: Can she trust someone who doesn't feel? With galactic enemies on their tail and her father's relentless pursuit threatening their every move, Dahlia and Kael are forced to confront not only the universe's dangers but also their growing, impossible bond. In a battle of reason versus emotion, survival versus connection, and loyalty versus betrayal, they'll discover that the heart doesn't obey logic. Starlit Boundaries is a heart-pounding romantic sci-fi adventure filled with breathtaking twists, star-crossed tension, and a love that defies both worlds.

Karshok by noozaster

Enslaved under alien rule, I've forgotten what kindness feels like-until my choices deliver me to the Zohra. Towering, horned, and unreadable, they are nothing like my past captors. And Karshok... he is nothing like the monsters I've known. He is fierce yet protective, distant yet impossibly gentle with me. I should fear him. I should resist him. But just as I stopped believing in salvation, he appeared-and with him, a warmth I thought I'd lost forever.

Star Kissed by LizzyFord

When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.
