Darkstar Mercenaries

Lodan Vorkan has been called many things in his lifetime - perfectionist, control-freak, monster. As one of the Kordolian Military's infamous First Division, he's one of the most feared warriors in the Nine Galaxies. As a pilot, his skill is unmatched. He doesn't like the unpredictable, and humans are exactly that. One by one, he's seen his brothers fall to these confounding creatures. Even the most battle-hardened and ruthless of them have succumbed to the Mating Fever. Humans are trouble. Humans bring chaos. Always. When he encounters the strange human called Tasha, all his warning alarms go off. She isn't anything like the other humans. She's faster, stronger - artificially so. She has secrets, she tells lies. A trail of blood-scent lingers around her. She is not the kind of human he would imagine as his mate. But Lodan's control is about to be sorely tested - in more ways than one. Contains mature themes.

When Kora Williams wakes up inside the dark alien warship called Silence, fate has spun completely out of her control. She doesn't understand why she was abducted by a vicious, depraved Kordolian, and she can't believe she was rescued by an even more dangerous one. A big, armor-clad brute of a warrior, who lifted her into his arms far too easily, as if she weighed next to nothing. She should be dead, or at the very least, doomed to a terrible life as a slave. But she's been saved, and now she's on a ship full of dangerous silver-skinned aliens and their surprisingly human mates. She wants nothing to do with this strange new reality. She doesn't want to dwell on her horrific ordeal. All she wants to do is return to a normal life on Earth; to her cozy little house, her job, her son . . . But these Kordolians have other ideas. To her dismay, it turns out there's a reason she was taken. And the big, lethal warrior who rescued her? He's been assigned to protect her. Contains mature themes.

Arkan Kythelian is the last man standing. He's well aware of that fact. The rest of his First Division brothers have succumbed to the Mating Fever, falling for those gentle, alluring creatures-humans. He should probably be more bothered by it, but he's a little preoccupied right now. See, he's just detected the presence of a group of terrified humans onboard a Kordolian slave-trader ship. He has to go after them. It's a matter of principle. Earth is theirs now, and he and his battle-brothers have sworn to protect the vulnerable beings that inhabit it. Their enemies-Kordolians that yearn for the resurgence of the Old Empire-keep trying to steal human females for their infernal breeding programs. Not on his watch. Amidst the darkness and chaos, a soft female voice invades his consciousness. Given the circumstances, she's impressively calm. There's something in her voice. Something he can't quite put his finger on. It calls to him. Nothing is going to stand between him and the ones he has sworn to protect. His enemies won't know what hit them. And sooner or later, he will take what is his. Contains mature themes.

Since the accident, Jade's world has become so loud. Something's wrong. The voices of hundreds of souls echo loudly inside her head. The doctors, the administrators, and even those closest to her are convinced she has a condition. They say she needs to be under the care of the authorities. Nobody listens to her. Nobody believes her. She has no choice but to run. Her once-predictable life is in tatters. All she knows is chaos and fear. They'll catch her soon. She has nowhere to go. Until she encounters a stranger in her dreams. Not just any stranger, but an alien. A Kordolian. Silver-and-dark. Honed like a weapon. So obviously dangerous. One of the very beings that threatens the future of the entire human species. Or so she's been told. But what if salvation comes in the most unexpected form? Contains mature themes.
