Some love stories are born in a galaxy far away. Others are forged in dragon fire.

Turi is destined to be given to a bondmate she’s never met. Life in Settlement 112-1 is hard enough without forced matings, but when an abduction goes awry, she’s brought to live in the fortress of the overseer who rules her settlement. There, she discovers that he’s not only capable of kindness, but he’s as much a prisoner as she is. As Turi falls for the powerful zaruxian male, she uncovers dark secrets about her people’s past and the true nature of the Axis—the entity that controls their world. But can she convince her people that everything they believe is a lie?

Ellion has been the overseer of the terian settlements for centuries, but he remembers nothing before taking the role. When he saves a compassionate female from raiders, his carefully structured world begins to crack. As his feelings for her grow and forgotten memories surface, he realizes he has a choice to make: continue serving the Axis as their puppet, or fight for the female he loves. But would choosing love mean losing his mind to the Axis once again?

For years I kept my desire for her hidden. Until now.

Lashe

Piloting Ambassador Anna Abel’s transport shuttle from earth to my home, the living Destran space station, has been my assignment for five earth years. My orders are clear—operate the transport and leave her alone. When the shuttle is damaged, I’m forced to crash land on an uncharted moon. Now, we’re stranded on a storm-ridden planet with no chance of rescue. I may not be able to hide my desire in such close proximity, but I will find a way to keep her alive.

He’s quiet, strong and untouchable. Until now.

Anna

Being earth’s ambassador to the Destran people is a dream job, but terrible for relationships. Once again, I’m alone for the holidays, so when I’m invited to spend them on Destra, I accept. Lashe, my attractive transport pilot, is competent, polite, and has barely spoken to me in the five years he’s been ferrying me to and from the Destran station. When he admits to having secret feelings for me, our attraction blooms. But none of it matters if we can’t repair our ship and get out of here before a storm tears the ship (and us) to space dust.

(Lashe is a standalone story that takes place in the Lords of Destra world.)

Lise

When I'm assigned to report on the alien bride program, I'm thrilled to get a break from the crowded city. No noisy apartment building. No synthesized food. But Mitra is nothing like I thought it would be. It's beautiful, yes, but it's also a rugged land on the border of enemy territory. It all changes when the warlord rescues me from being trampled by a ugris. Adrik is big and gruff and everything I never wanted in a man, but he's all I can think about.

Adrik

Only one of the females from Earth interests me and it's the one who isn't here to find a mate. While the lovely journalist is busy writing and taking pictures, our enemies to the north are consolidating their forces along the border I defend. When the females at our Thrail fall ill and our communications are cut off, I need Lise's technology and wits to win a battle that could devastate the Thrail. But I need Lise in other ways, and I am determined to show her that she belongs with me.

Sabine

As the top medical expert on human-Mitran offspring, I'm excited to be sent to the alien planet to help deliver babies, but my shuttle goes down on Mitra and leaves me stranded. When a gorgeous warlord finds me, I think I'm rescued, but my hopes are dashed. We're both trapped inside a mysterious forcefield with dangerous creatures and poisonous flora. Worse, Warlord Dakkan can't stand me and I must put my life in his hands to survive.

Dakkan

My dislike of Dr. Sabine Mecon isn't personal—I just distrust her species' advanced medical techniques. It's only because the human females living in my Thrail demanded a human doctor that I invite Sabine to my domain. But now we're trapped in a sort of contained habitat far from my Thrail with no communication with the outside world. Keeping this beautiful and headstrong female safe is my top priority, but soon I want to do much more than protect her. If our love has any chance to survive, we must learn who created this hidden place and escape before its many dangers consume us.

I might be a killing machine. I just don't know it, yet.

Siroc: My mountain domain operates as smoothly as the sleek machines that mine for ore in the caves, but when a human female is found in the snow, every alarm bell rings—literally. It's Jane, a volunteer of the human-Mitran breeding program, who had disappeared six months earlier, but not willingly. It's clear she was abducted and surgically “enhanced” with implants to improve her senses and strength, and she has no recollection of what happened to her. The mystery of unlocking those memories is nearly as intriguing as the female herself, until acts of sabotage make me question whether Jane is hiding a secret that could destroy thousands of lives under my protection.

Jane: I am rebuilding my life after waking up in a Mitran infirmary with abilities I shouldn't have and scars to go with them. But I have no memory of my past. The alien warlord, Siroc, is always nearby. Always watching. Gaps in my memory coincide with “accidents” and strange occurrences. As we grow closer, I desperately want to know—what if something inside of me will kill everyone I care about, including the warlord who has my heart?
