Shut underground for the last 22 years due to a harsh nuclear winter, Mia Sheehan hasn't seen the sun since the doors to the bunker had closed behind her. For their own survival, over a thousand of her town's citizens shared the space with her, and together they had built a society that Mia, as the colony's investigator, had felt was secure and stable.
Until the day the alarms sounded for the first time, and a fiery red-headed young women was grabbed from outside and pulled into the bunker...
Terra McKinnon claims she lives on the surface, having stumbled onto the bunker during a solo hiking trip. The idea of survivors living in the outer world shakes their people to the core, and cements the idea in the head of Mia's boss that Terra is a dangerous spy from another colony. But Mia is curious about Terra, and the believable story she tells.
In an effort to rescue the woman she is drawn to, Mia puts her life and career on the line. She never expected to come to care for the woman, or be taken on the roller coaster ride of her life. But, It wasn't long before the colony turned toxic, and saving Terra meant she had to save herself as well.

Forged To Hunt - Book 1 Of Wold And Dragon Trilogy
Book 1 of The Wolf and Dragon Trilogy Series So often the balance of control is a fragile thing, and power can be usurped by a monster you once held in shackles. Creating the perfect weapon does not ensure your control of it. In order to stay in the game, you should always be on the lookout for what bigger fish lay in the depths of water you cannot see. Much like a lone wolf Elena keeps everyone and everything at a distance. To survive she'll throw away every last shred of her humanity and embody what her captors want. Her journey to power would have been far simpler, if not for Diego. The hostile environment she had dominated through brutality and an in-depth understanding of human psychology. He danced between both worlds, with a grace and charisma that came from innate natural talent. Pulling strings without ever revealing his true intentions. Would he be the undoing of all the power she had accumulated or did his eyes tell a different story? That he never hungered for her throne to begin with, perhaps he desired something else.
ARC10
[Book 1 of the ARC10 Trilogy] **Winner of the 2017 Watty Storysmith award** The President created an underground safe-haven for the survivors of the alien invasion. He built it to save them all from total annihilation. He protects them, feeds them, keeps them under his ever-watchful gaze so they can live. All he asks is that they obey. Captain Janika Lorn doesn't want to obey. Not if it means spreading her legs and contributing to the President's precious eugenics program. As a perfect candidate for the Human Hope Project, she is obligated by law to make more citizens for the dying society. But all she wants is her freedom to fight the Invaders and protect the people who already exist. If the mandated program wasn't bad enough, the worst part is trying to fulfill it with Captain Dean Freyer, her scientifically matched partner and best friend of sixteen years. Just as Captain Lorn is about to succumb to her fate, another opportunity arises. A mysterious commanding officer asks her to lead a human refugee ship--to save humanity by evacuating the destroyed Earth and shuttling the remaining population to a new habitable exoplanet 400 light years away. The mission is perilous. Especially because now, standing between her and her freedom is the hostile alien hosts of her ship, the ARC10, a sister returned from the dead, an array of impossibly confusing alien tech, a rekindled heat between her and Dean, and a sexy militia chief she can't seem to keep her hands off of. ARC10 is a romance-heavy sci-fi with the speculative horror of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the military action of Battle: Los Angeles. Cover art by @FayLane Copyright © 2016 by LL MontezComplete
