In a hidden underground shelter beneath her clinic, Dr. Mercy Wallace is waiting out the end of the world. The year is 2070, and after an ill-advised attack on the inhabited, technologically advanced planet of Toria, Earth is facing an all-out invasion. As the war unfolds on both worlds, Mercy struggles to survive and keep morale as she finishes up her second week in complete isolation. Worried that she may be the last surviving human in her area—or the world—she is shocked one night when she discovers a wounded man has broken into her clinic upstairs and collapsed. She rushes to his aid—only to discover that she has saved the life of a Torian warrior. Zarun saw his planet's capitol reduced to rubble in the humans' initial attack, and entered the war to end the threat to his world. But he soon found himself embroiled, not in a standing war with trained soldiers, but in the occupation and destruction of a town filled with innocent civilians. When he resisted the order to kill, his vicious squad commander put him on potentially deadly scouting detail as punishment. Badly injured by an improvised bomb, he was left for dead by his squad—and crawled his way to shelter, acting on pure instinct. Now, tended to by a traumatized but kind human healer, he awakens in her shelter—and quickly realizes that he has imprinted on her as his lifelong mate. What should be a genetic impossibility becomes hope for a new future for both races as Mercy and Zarun struggle to survive together and support each other. As trust barriers fall between them, they become lovers, solidifying their bond and pledging to each other. But when Zarun's old squad discovers their shelter and threatens Mercy's life, the alien warrior must chose between loyalty to his own people, and love for the mate who saved his life when his own left him for dead.

     After viewing ancient data and seeing the massive size of stoneshifters, Mila decides to rescue Tiana. Her sister is blood and she'd rather not see her tied to the sacrifice table and turned into jam. Everything goes wrong, of course. Lord Zarblu, stoneshifter and owner of the enormous black fortress looming over the city, turns his gaze upon Mila. Like a giant cat with a teensy mouse, Zarblu plays with Mila. Catch...release...catch. Gentle and caring are words that no stone-beast monster should claim, surely? Desiring something that might kill you is insane yet the sacrifice table begins to look attractive. Zarblu is a big, strong, determined male who's had a thousand, thousand years to contemplate life.

This is the dark you reach for when you're all darked out and one step from seeing your therapist. Some of this story is FUN. Dark twisted fun, but fun nevertheless.

    Feeling lost and hopeless, she volunteers for a paid study being conducted by Professor William Ashworth on the topic of young women who lack a strong father figure in their lives. William’s interest in this particular subject is not merely academic, and he is instantly intrigued by Ellie. He has always hoped to one day find a woman who would benefit from being nurtured and dominated by a loving daddy, and from the moment she steps into his office it is obvious that she is in desperate need of exactly the kind of attention and affection he would offer, not to mention the firm but loving correction he would apply to her bare bottom as often as necessary. Ellie is shocked when she learns the details of William’s planned research, but with her attempts to hold down a job going awry one after another, she is ultimately left with little choice but to accept the arrangement the handsome professor proposes. He will take on the role of her daddy for the duration of his research, and over that time she will live with him as his ward, subject to his rules and the consequences of breaking those rules. William quickly proves more than ready to take his ward over his knee and spank her bare bottom whenever she misbehaves, but Ellie soon discovers that her new daddy’s strict discipline makes her feel safe and loved in a way nothing else ever has. Before long she finds herself aching for William to claim her completely, but can she really trust that he will always be there for her, or will their relationship be torn apart by her daddy issues?
