Earth and the alien race known as the Vaari have lived in peace for 300 years.
But when world-conquering enemies return, one wounded Vaari general holds the key to survival.
Zeyna, a gifted human doctor, is assigned to heal him-but Thae'len Sorran's body reacts to her like she's his biological mate. His instincts say bond. Hers say run.
As tension builds and biology betrays them, the war outside may be nothing compared to the war within.
One forbidden bond. One explosive desire. And one rule they can't break:
Never fall for your patient.

Bound by Stars
In a galaxy far from Earth, where stars sparkle like jewels in the sky and vast alien worlds pulse with life, two species stand on the brink of conflict. The Z'hara, majestic winged beings who thrive among the skies of a lush, vibrant world, and the Thalirians, aquatic creatures of unmatched grace who live beneath the surface of distant oceans, have always lived in parallel, separated by the vastness of space and their very different environments. But the delicate peace between them is now threatened by an emerging danger-an unknown cosmic force has begun to tear the fabric of their worlds apart, endangering both their people and the natural resources they rely on to survive. When a cataclysmic event forces the two species to confront the reality of their impending destruction, two individuals from opposite sides of the galaxy are thrown together. Ciela, a brave Z'hara warrior whose wings carry her high above the clouds, is sent to the depths of the ocean on a mission to save her planet's future. Kaelen, a mysterious and gentle Thalarian, is tasked with safeguarding the fragile ecosystems of his world. Though they come from different realms, neither can deny the pull of something greater than their responsibilities-a connection forged by fate and, perhaps, something even older than the stars themselves. As danger looms closer, Ciela and Kaelen's growing bond, despite the overwhelming odds, begins to transcend the boundaries of their species and cultures. But as their feelings deepen, so too does the resistance from their peoples-unwilling to accept such an unprecedented union. In a galaxy torn by ancient prejudices, will love be enough to bridge the divide, or will they be forced to sacrifice everything for the survival of their worlds?Complete

Ben and Aaron Cooper's life had never been one of ease. Deserted by their mother and raised by a drunken father, they fought to survive on the Kansas farm where their father worked. Life deals them a horrendous twist when they are kidnapped by an alien trader and sold. Ben, the oldest by sixteen months, convinces the aliens who enslave them that he and Aaron will die if they are separated. It is the only way he can think of to keep them together and protect his younger brother. The next fifteen years prove to be the most challenging of their lives. They do what they have to in order to survive. They are convinced their time has come to an end when the freighter they are on is attacked by a species known for their lust for blood and killing. Evetta and Hanine Marquette are Marastin Dow; a species whose leaders thrive on living in the old ways where only the strongest, most ruthless are allowed to live. The life expectancy for most Marastin Dow is short, especially on one of the warships that all Marastin Dow, male or female, are expected to serve a mandatory service. Advancement usually comes by murder. Evetta and Hanine want a different life and work together to stay alive in the hopes of finding a life away from the constant threat of death. Life changes for them when they encounter two strange and unusual alien males. When the males' lives are endangered, there is only one thing these warrior women can do to save them... run!Complete
Star Kissed
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.Complete
Nohvara
Yara has nothing left to lose. When Earth offered a one-way mission to the alien world of Nohvara, she volunteered-expecting to donate genetic material and fade into quiet luxury on a cleaner, quieter planet. But what was promised as a scientific partnership quickly reveals itself to be something far more intimate-and far more dangerous. Nohvara is breathtaking, a world of twin moons, glowing forests, and the powerful Eshorim-an ancient race on the brink of extinction. Yara finds herself entangled in an empathic link with a high-ranking warrior. But their connection threatens to unravel centuries of political balance. As tensions rise between castes, and a purist rebellion brews beneath the surface, Yara must navigate a world of rituals, courtship, and secrets. Love was never part of the plan. But on a planet where feelings can't be hidden and desire is a language of its own, her heart may be the one thing that decides the fate of two species.

Of course, small adorable cubs usually couldn't shapeshift or burst into flame whenever it suited them. Tusca hired a teenager on a whim, and a doctor because they were old friends. Unfortunately, nothing is ever simple when a Red Baron is at the helm.Complete
