Serenity Hughes is a 24 year old Yellowstone National Park ranger---brave, fierce, and endlessly curious. She's more comfortable navigating the deep woods than navigating people, and she prefers the wild's chaos to the mess of emotions. But her quiet life is shattered when she is violently abducted by alien slavers in a flash of violet light that splits the Montana sky.
She awakens imprisoned on a Varkari slaver ship, light-years from Earth and surrounded by strange creatures and brutal captors. In the cell across from hers is Kaelith, a striking, humanoid alien with haunting silver eyes and skin like twilight. Bound in chains and cloaked in mystery, Kaelith is no ordinary prisoner---he's the exiled prince of a fallen galactic empire, betrayed by his own blood and sold to slavers with his powers locked behind psychic restraints.
From the moment their eyes meet, something ancient awakens between them: Suhkai'len, a rare and sacred soul-bond that transcends species and logic. Their connection is immediate, undeniable, and dangerous. As Serenity's presence begins to unravel the shackles around Kaelith's mind, his powers stir---and so do emotions neither of them can control.
Together, the must navigate their captivity, facing brutal slavers, alien politics, and their own growing bond. Serenity's dominant nature clashes and entangles with Kaelith's restrained intensity, creating a magnetic push-pull of control, trust, and vulnerability.
Their escape from the ship is only the beginning.
Crash-landing ona hostile alien planet in another galaxy, Serenity and Kaelith must survive harsh environments, hunted by mercenaries, haunted by Kaelith's political enemies, and drawn deeper into a web of intergalactic war and prophecy. As their connection deepens---emotionally and physically---they uncover that their bond is not only romantic... it may be the key to restoring balance to Kaelith's world.
But soulmates don't come without sacrifice.
And fate always demands a price.

Maroli Tango
Nobody expects the Sasquatch Intervention! A Vedic text tells of ancient gods who cast a shadow upon the Earth, shielding humanity from an angry sun. Or, as history books will soon report: when Sol last went micro-nova, Mercury, Venus, and the Anye migration fleet were positioned in eclipse, the latter on purpose. Earth was scorched - but not destroyed. The event is cyclical, coming around again, and fortunately, Vidura's furry pilgrims are still living in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, the fleet is in mothballs. The planets will not be lining up to help. Two million light years away on the planet of the Unseen, a potentially hostile race of bird-folk have demonstrated the ability to get here from there. The natives will have to dig in, hands on Anye technology, with President of the United States Carmen Benequista leading Earth's ruling elite into an age of service to humanity. It's a dicey proposition, at best. Meanwhile, Carmen - sixty, widowed - is in late-life crisis. She has a suitor; human, Filipino/American, 15 years younger, recently associated with the Anye Space Mafia. Good for her, maybe. Entering stage left, the elevated maroli. Labor appliances of the nightmare variety. Egg-shaped grav-lift chassis. Bio-engineered tentacles strong enough to pull your arms off.

The Lycan's Bargain
"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor. In a desperate bargain, she trades her freedom for her mother's life. But as she becomes the king's unwilling companion, Aira discovers a terrifying truth-Kael is cursed, unable to die, unable to feel the mate bond that should tie them together. As dark forces conspire against them and Kael spirals further into self-destruction, Aira must decide: escape and save herself, or risk everything for the beast who might never love her back. In a world where fate is both a gift and a curse, can she break the chains of destiny before it's too late? 1 in Kael on 24/4/2025 1 in Captive on 26/4/2025 2 in dreamlandbooks on 26/4/2025 1 in beautyandthebeast on 27/5/2025 1 in historicalromance on 30/5/2025 1 in werewolf on 05/10/2025Complete

Declared anomalies by the Tharions, an advanced and war-forged alien race, the humans are placed under guarded observation. Assigned to watch over them is Kael Vel'Sar: heir to the throne, commander of the Royal Forces of Tharion Accord, and a figure whispered about more for his battlefield legend than his compassion. As Lyra begins to adjust to the new reality, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Kael, whose loyalty to his people runs as deep as the scars of war across his skin.
