The Cillidan Artifacts have long been considered to be treasures by the inhabitants of the planet Aldara. Of course, it doesn't help that they were scattered across the galaxy, buried in rubble and otherwise hidden from them, hundreds of years before any of them were born. When Plintos becomes king of the Leothian, he vows that he will reunite the Artifacts for the good of the people, to give them something to hope for, and he sends Draco, one of his best and most trusted friends to look for them. Draco finds two of the three Artifacts with little trouble, but the third is nowhere to be found. When a feed from Earth shows that something resembling the last item has been discovered on the far away planet, Draco is sent there to see what can be done to recover it. There he meets Stephanie, a brilliant young intern at the museum where the artifact is being kept. If anyone should understand the importance of the find, it's her, but can he convince her that she should help him get the artifact back to where it belongs? And even if he can, can he bring himself to leave her once the finds himself falling for her mind as well as the rest? Unfortunately, the choice may be taken from him when the real reason for Plintos' almost frantic need for all three Artifacts to be together rears its ugly head.

Alien Protector

In contrast to most of the other elemental warriors, the water loving people of Lin-Vayel are also lovers of peace. They aren't reclusive, but they don't value combat the way others do, and they live their lives exploring their planet and others, seeking out knowledge and treasure. Focused on learning more about the ways of those who came before them.Still, their warriors are well trained, and when a cargo ship crash lands on their planet, they're ready to fight if need be. Fortunately, those piloting the ship are dead, and the cargo is undamaged. Unfortunately the cargo turns out to be contraband, stolen merchandise, and one human woman by the name of Alanna. There's much discussion over what should be done with this woman, and eventually it's decided that one of their strongest and bravest will escort her home. It should be a simple mission: fly to Earth, leave her there, come home, but the growing bond between them makes it hard for either of them to want to say goodbye.That's the least of their problems when it turns out that Alanna's crash landing on Luther's planet was no accident, and was in fact masterminded by someone with a dastardly plan for Luther and his powers.

Elemental Warriors (a Sci-Fi Alien Warrior Paranormal Romance)

Drenched

Alinsoth is, for all intents and purposes, a scrap yard. It’s an abandoned moon, floating in the middle of space, where refuse and other discarded things seem to collect. It’s also the base of the Amakari, barbarian people who use their weapons to speak for them and, occasionally, work as warriors for hire. They are a rough and tumble bunch, trying to keep out of sight of the Imperials, who rule most of the planets around them. It keeps them isolated, but this suits them fine. Galen, one of the barbarians, has no problems with his life. He likes the fighting, and he tries not to remember his life before he came to Alinsoth. He’s brash and reckless and rude, which is perfect since he’s also one of the best fighters they have. But when something crash lands on their little moon and it turns out to be a human woman who can’t remember who she is or how she got there, Galen will find out that he has a softer side, once he learns to trust her, that is. He has no idea who she is or why she’s so far from home, but the answers don’t stay hidden for long. In fact, eventually they come calling in the form of a giant warship, and the Amakari way of life, along with the woman Galen has come to care for, are heavily threatened.

Galen: Barbarian Mates

No one is quite sure who launched the app at first, but it is wildly successful. Human women are as fascinated with alien warriors as warriors are with human women. A system is set up so that they can match and meet, either on Earth or on neutral planets by mutual agreement. Aside from a few minor incidents (dates going poorly, some xenophobia, a couple of people/ aliens going missing), it’s a hit. Anise, a young woman fresh out of college, gets signed up for the app by her meddling friends, and finds herself on a date with Silas, a dragon shifter warrior, who is unlike anyone she’s ever met before. He’s kind and thoughtful and considerate, and definitely the sort of person she could fall for. Too bad he’s being hunted, and Anise is caught in the crossfire. Now Silas must protect himself and the woman he loves while hiding from his hunters. A seemingly impossible task….

A Science Fiction Romance

The Dragon's Mate

Atlas has long watched his friends and fellow warriors find their mates. He’s heard all about how it’s supposedly the most magical thing that can happen, how you feel complete and happy and whole, and he’s tried not to be bitter over the fact that he still hasn’t found his mate. It hasn’t been for lack of trying, either. With his skill on the battlefield, he’s highly sought after by the females of his kind and other kinds as well, but there has never been that spark. When he’s chosen to accompany the princess of their people to Earth, he thinks nothing of it. It’ll be a good distraction from things that aren’t going the way he wants them to, if anything. Certainly he doesn’t anticipate any kind of foul plot afoot with consequences that reach far beyond their own kind. He definitely doesn’t expect to meet Katlyn Pierce, bartender by night, student by day, with her sharp eyes and sharper tongue. By the end of his escort duty, Atlas is honestly not sure which is more surprising: that he’s fighting his own people to save a planet he barely understands or that he’s fairly sure he’s found the other half of his soul. But the princess isn’t above exploiting his newfound connection, and Atlas just might find himself fighting to save his mate as well as the rest of the world.

Defender of Earth

Malachi

Seven years ago, Alister and Samson watched everything they had ever loved or tried to protect burn. They’d been too young, too inexperienced to save their people, and so they’d ended up hiding, running away and leaving rather than face being killed with the rest. The shame of that haunts them still, but they don’t talk about it. Instead, the twin brothers work as traders and explorers, finding rare things on far off planets and bringing them to people who are willing to pay high prices for them. When their business is slow, they sometimes accept bounties, hunting down criminals or rare animals and other creatures for those too lazy to hunt for themselves. When a bounty for more money than either of them has ever seen comes in, they can’t turn it down, even when it turns out that the collector they’d be hunting for wants a human woman for his collection. In order to find a human woman, they have to go to Earth, and when they get there, it’s nothing like they expected. For one, the planet is under attack. For another, there are human women everywhere, and none of them are easy to catch. Samson is all for grabbing one and getting the hell out of there, but Alister seems to want to stay. The more they learn about Earth, the more they end up wanting to save it, but neither of them have fought in seven years, and they’re terrified of letting down the people of Earth the same way they failed their own people. They don’t even have an army, but it turns out that they might be able to borrow one. If they fulfill the bounty they came to Earth for, anyway…

A Science Fiction Alien Invasion Romance

The Arrival

Ten years ago, the Calphesians, a warrior race from far beyond our stars, invaded Earth with the intention to kill everyone they found and take the planet's resources for themselves. In order to prevent the destruction of the human race, a treaty was set, allowing the Calphesians to remain on Earth and use its resources as long as they didn't kill anyone or hurt the people. In addition, they would be able to pick and choose from a selection of human women to marry and have children with, in order to keep their kind from dying out. Every five years, three women are randomly selected and married off to the strongest warriors of the Calphesians, and this year Roxanne has been chosen. She's angry and bitter about having her life decided for her, and nothing changes when she meets Aedian, her husband to be. He's boorish and crude, and treats her like she's insignificant most of the time, and all they do is fight. But when another race of aliens seeks to destroy the Earth and everyone on it, everyone will have to band together to fight them off, and both Aedian and Roxanne will realize there's more to each other than they'd thought.

Her Imperial Majesty’s Army is made up of some the best fighters in the entire Shenandril Quadrant. Their training is rigorous, and most people drop out before they ever see a real fight. Silas knew from a young age that he wanted nothing more than to serve his Empress and his planet, and he has worked his way up to Captain. A gifted pilot, fighter, and hunter, Silas is on the first line of defense when the remnants of the Fremeri race think to try to overtake planet Gathra. He ends up in a fight with them, chasing them through space, and when his ship goes down, he ends up being sent through a wormhole like path and can only hope he comes out somewhere safe. He crash lands on Earth with his communications down and no way to get back to where he’s meant to be. It’s there that he meets Katia, the bright and cheery owner of an Inn, who’s coming back from work when she finds Silas bleeding and in need of help. She’s never seen anyone who looks like him before, and when he explains who he is, she’s stunned. All the military knowledge in the universe won’t help Silas with his growing feelings for the human woman, and when the Fremeri set their sights on Earth, his heart and his duty will collide.

Silas: Alien Warrior

Khaos has been fighting in the arena since he was old enough to hold a war axe and not hurt himself with it. He has risen through the ranks with a speed otherwise unheard of, and after winning enough consecutive battles to catch the eye of the leader of his kind, he is now the champion. But the fights aren't just to prove the skill and strength of one warrior over another or to provide entertainment for the people. The truth, Khaos comes to find out, is that his people are dying at an alarming rate. Infants, males, females, whatever is in their blood that has stricken them is killing them off faster than the Vekosh rebels. As champion Khaos proves that he's vital enough to be a savior to his people. To scour the galaxy and others for some hope of a cure. When his search takes him to earth, he meets Kayla Abernathy, a young doctor with a quick mind and not much of a life outside of her work. She's never studied anything like the plague wiping out Khaos' people, or Khaos himself even, but for some reason she can't say no to his request for help, or the romance blooming between them, even if it means getting caught up with the Vekosh who want to stop her from completing her cure at any cost.
