Craving the Heveians

Kora My nightmares didn't prepare me for this. Abducted off the space station where I teach the standard galactic language, I'm imprisoned with two other women in a cold, dirty cell on an alien ship. We're destined for something worse than death until a fierce, blue-haired alien male rescues us. We recover on his ship with his group of Heveian pirates. There, the attraction that formed when he first carried me in his arms grows into a force neither of us can deny. But something else has taken up residence on the ship. Something that will stop at nothing to destroy us all. Ryland I was trained from my royal youth to fight. Even here, as a rogue raider in exile with my rebellious friends, it's the role I play, until I hold Kora in my arms. She makes my fangs ache. She makes everything ache. My protective instincts roar as I vow to protect my mate against any who would harm her. But how can I protect her from an enemy so insidious that it can turn our crew against each other? I will keep Kora safe, even if it means the ultimate sacrifice. Contains mature themes.

Harp He's my boss on this ship, but not the boss of me. At least that's what I tell myself every time the gorgeous, icy-eyed-and hearted-Heveian warrior speaks to me. Or rather, growls at me. Despite his clear dislike of me, I have the dirtiest thoughts about the big guy. When he receives an invitation to visit an alien warlord's fancy space lair, he shocks me by asking me to come with him, posing as his mate. How can I refuse? Drave She has no idea the power she holds over me. Each time I'm in her presence, I feel things I don't want to feel. I want things I have no business wanting. No matter how harsh I am to her, Harp laughs it off. When I have to play nice with a warlord to get secret info vital to my species' survival, I can't resist the chance to bring her as my pretend mate. Maybe it will purge these feelings I have for her. But navigating the dark and lavish world of wealthy trade lords and alien nobility (of which I am), is more dangerous than I thought. Secrets run deep and the information I came here for comes at a steep price. When Harp's life is threatened, however, all bets are off. I will tear the station apart to keep her safe. Contains mature themes.

What's worse than waking up from a hibernation cell fifty-two years after being abducted? Nothing. No, wait, a wise-cracking alien hunk with a killer smile who doesn't let me out of his sight, that's what. Wulfrex knows every inch of his massive space cruiser and makes it impossible for me to steal it. When I try to "borrow" one of his shuttles to get home to Earth, I find myself outsmarted by him again and accidentally pulled into a mission with far-reaching implications I could never have foreseen. The beautiful human female makes my fangs and, eh, other things, ache. I know more about power converters and fusion drives than females, and Dani doesn't want to be anyone's mate-especially mine. Worse, she's an assassin, determined to get off our ship no matter what. Even if it means stealing aboard my shuttle as I embark on a dangerous rescue mission. She's capable with a blaster and hoards her secrets, but I will claim her heart. Contains mature themes.

So, I have the hots for my alien doctor. Kiki Jorok saved my life after being trapped in a filthy cell. He's gorgeous and way too serious for his own good. To get to know him better, I tag along on an errand, but we're kidnapped and forced to nurse an alien captain's sick crew. To avoid being sold, I pretend to be Jorok's mate (which isn't difficult). I thought things couldn't get worse from there. I was wrong. Jorok Kiki is utterly delectable. She's brilliant, amusing, and beautiful, but she's also my queen's sister and deserves someone who can devote more time to her. Which I can't, since I'm a physician to the ship's entire crew. When she and I travel to a merchant city for supplies, we're taken by a band of Gutturians who want me to cure their crew of a mystery sickness. A deathbed confession sets us off on a quest to uncover the source of the oppressive group, who is determined to wipe out my people... and hers. Kiki's intoxicating charms are the least of my problems... and one I can no longer resist. Contains mature themes.

"We were not supposed to come here." Claire He is my patient, my subject. The gorgeous cyborg who has fought so hard to regain the memories taken from him recalls most of his life, except his childhood. We journey to the village of his youth to be reunited with his family. The journey brings us closer, blurring lines I swore I would never cross. But Craal's resurfaced memories don't match what we find at his village, and I can't escape a sick feeling that we were not supposed to come here. Craal I was turned into a monster in order to destroy my own people. Slowly, I'm remembering who I am with the help of a human woman. Claire is beautiful, intelligent, and I'm powerfully drawn to her. When we arrive at my family's village, my memories don't line up with the behavior of the people there. A pulsing sound that can't be traced gives Claire headaches and is likely the root of the mystery. As we dig deeper, we uncover an explosive secret, and someone will stop at nothing to keep it hidden. Contains mature themes.

Axlos My people are fighting for their lives against a power determined to rip our planet apart for a valuable energy source. I am on the front lines, leading our forces. I knew this would be my fate if we went to war, and I don't expect to survive. My only regret? Not telling Arria, the shy little human we rescued, that I loved her. Now it's too late. I've taken my last steps on my home planet of Heveia. I'll fight to the end alongside my warriors to ensure that my people survive. That she survives. Arria I may be one small, quiet human, but I have a knack for a few things. One of them is seeing patterns that even computers miss. When I unlock an enemy command cipher, I know it can help our forces, but the algorithms disagree, and it's deemed too risky to send me out in the middle of battle. Instead, I do the riskiest thing I've ever done and steal a shuttle with the help of a friendly cybot. When we arrive on Axlos' ship, his feelings become crystal clear. Amid a battle that will end the war, one way or another, I learn if I can open my heart or if the scars of my past will determine my future. Contains mature themes.
