Unexpected


Annalise Alexis - 2019
    Grouchy. Mine. That is, if we don't die a horrible death first.  Working on the fringes of space wasn't exactly how I pictured my life, but it paid the bills. My days were routine. Safe even. Until they weren't. When I'm rudely awakened because an incoming ship won't answer our comms, the last thing I expect to find is a race of aliens long assumed extinct. No one's seen the Illusians for over a century, and yet here they are. Bruised. Battered. And threatening to kick my butt. I broke the rules and let them in. So sue me. You'd have done the same thing if you'd seen their smoking hot leader. They're vicious, beautiful, and running from an enemy hell bent on enslaving them. I should walk away. But my boss is planning something that's almost certainly illegal, and besides…what else am I supposed to do when Ren of Illusia claims me as his mate? Just let him go without a fight? Hell no. This book is intended for mature audiences only.  For the grown and sexy only. This book contains strong language, sexual content and mention of sexual abuse.

A Galactic Coming of Age


Krystyn Dean - 2017
    Races operating within their own planetary systems are to be left alone until they begin to develop the ability to travel at FTL (faster than light speeds). When the ability to travel at FTL becomes apparent, one of the members of the Federation is nominated to help ease the newcomer through the Galactic citizenship process. Unfortunately, not all the galaxies systems belong to the Federation, and some of those systems are much less than friendly. The last several decades have seen the development of war like societies that systematically loot developing planets. They take the water, and other precious resources, including slaves, leaving the remaining native inhabitants a barren planet. Without resources the population simply dies a slow death. The Egolari are here because we, meaning the people of Earth, happen to possess a skill set and an aptitude that is critical to the needs of the Federation. The major problem within the Federation is that virtually all the members have, for centuries been living in peace. They have developed a society that is not well suited to counter the growing violence presented by the nonaligned races. In short, they have no way to protect themselves, let alone protect the fledgling races just arriving on the galactic scene. Enter Earth. Of all the emerging races to become future galactic members, one has a superior potential to face the violence threatened by the nonaligned races. You guessed it, Humanity. The Federation realized that to continue to function as an organized galactic society, they would have to develop a military arm that could provide the Federation and emerging systems the protection of a fleet of space vessels and marines. Humanity was the race most capable of leading the development of that military organization because we had not progressed so far that our war like tendencies had begun to erode. Although we were not yet ready for galactic membership, we were a necessity that could fill the need, thus we were getting a crash course in how to travel the galaxy, protecting ourselves and the Federation with the full expectation that we would go where no human has gone before, and kick some alien ass.

    Gabrielle LaPlante, when an accident of fate had forced her to spend the night in the ceremonial chamber of Anka in an ancient city she'd been helping to unearth on a dig in South America. What Gaby didn't know was that she had helped to unearth much more than the city that had been buried so long it lingered in no living memory . . . she'd awoken an alien being. Anka is enthralled by the modern woman the moment he awakens and discovers her, but he had determined long ago that he would never allow himself to be moved by one of them to help again unless he found that they were truly worthy. Was she worthy of the gift he was inclined to give her? Would she cherish it as it should be cherished? And would he be able to escape their encounter with his heart in tact? In all the time he had interacted with her kind, no one, not one had asked him for the gift she had demanded of him. They had begged for riches. They had asked for power. They had pleaded for fruitfulness. They had wanted all manner of ‘things’ and petitioned him for those gifts they thought would bring them happiness and fulfillment. And yet when he asked her to tell him her heart’s desire, offered to give her whatever that was, she had not asked for what he had expected. She had said ‘you’. Gaby had done much more than awaken him, she'd aroused something within him that he had long forgotten … hunger. He follows her back to the U.S. and decides to take her as his concubine—the chosen one to bear his child. He discovers, however, that it is an honor she does not seem to fully appreciate.
