Wrax
Thanika Hearth - 2017
Wrax is undefeated in the Firosan arena; the king of deathmatches on his home planet. When he comes up against a man with everything to lose, he knows his winning streak will soon come to an end. Is there any way to win against a cheater without a conscience? And how does he explain this to his new bride, teleported all the way from Earth to reluctantly bear his offspring? I trusted my instincts before, and I got burned. Cara is a junior lawyer with a past riddled with wrong decisions and bad luck. A family who leeches off her, friends who take advantage, and an ex who won’t leave her alone. When the opportunity to be matched with a feral warlord presents itself, it’s not the impossibly strong alien who draws her — it’s the thought of a new beginning. Wrax’s time is running out, and only Cara stands a chance to save him … can she see past his gruff demeanor and the backwards Firosan customs long enough to be his salvation? *Note to readers: This book contains scenes of an adult nature, as well as some gladiatorial violence, a beautiful faraway planet populated mostly by growling shirtless warlords, and one sassy AI.*
Rykhan
J.A. Hornbuckle - 2015
After the other two planets in the Picari star system adamantly denied to supply help, there had been no other choice but to launch a handful of droids programmed to discover sentient humanoid life in the far flung corners of the universe.After one droid sent back streaming videos of a tiny blue world in a star system light years away, hope grew. And rejoicing exploded throughout both planets when their programmers discovered thousands and thousands of females seeking a mates on Earth’s global communication system. With no time to lose, the finest scientists and engineers scrambled to build and outfit a star cruiser to carry a conclave of chosen warriors to the new planet called ‘Earth’.The goals of the first quest were simple: within six months of landing each warrior would find and secure a mate, pair with the female before returning to the Picari system.As one of the six warriors selected for the initial mission, Rykhan Nillr was the perfect choice. He was a loyal officer of the Picari Protectorate, a confident peace-keeper and had the ability to adapt to new worlds and new situations. But none of his skills and training prepared him for meeting Leah, during his very first foray on the planet’s surface. Even after only spending a few minutes in her company, Rykhan was convinced he’d found his life mate.When Leah, accompanied by her best friend Pam, attended her first speed-dating event, she didn’t have much hope in meeting someone, much less connecting with a gorgeous, foreign hunk of a guy who made no bones about his interest in her. But his courtship was slow, and when he still hadn’t made a move by their sixth date, Leah challenged him to kiss her.Their lip joining was the catalyst for a chain of events that turned Leah’s life upside down. Whether it was the surprising metal bracelet that grew out of her arm, her assisting Rykhan’s group in their search for suitable partners or her fear of Rykhan’s long term goals, each issue only enriched their relationship, bringing the couple closer. And it was their deep connection that revealed the original Picari mission was a ruse, hiding the Quest Committee’s true nefarious goals for the quest.
