"This 3-in-1 bundle of spicy space operas collects books seven through nine of the Xiveri Mates saga: Taken by the Pikosa Warlord, Taken to Evernor, and Taken to Sky.
Taken by the Pikosa Warlord
Welcome back to Earth—what's left of it, that is, after an attack by a dark and gritty barbarian warlord. He has no idea I can speak his language, or that I know he calls me mine.
Taken to Evernor
The alien gladiator is going to win…and I'm the prize. But the more time I spend with him, the more I think he's my ticket off this planet.
Taken to Sky
The Quadrant's most renowned assassin has been hunting me for rotations. Now, it’s time to return the favor. I'm going to crack through his armored flesh if it kills me."
"Instant USA Today bestseller.
He’s a villain looking for a hero rebrand. She’s the marketing genius who can make it happen in this fantastical romantic comedy by the author of the Beasts of Gatamora series.
Over two decades ago, forty-eight young, gifted superheroes fell to Earth and were eventually marketed as opposing brands: heroes and villains. Now, one exceptionally gruff bad guy is looking to hop teams. Hello, PR director Vanessa Theriot.
His real name is Roland Casteel a.k.a. the Pyro. First, swap that with the less incinerating the Wyvern. Next, put him in spandex to highlight that near-godlike body. Finally, give that hero in training a heroine—if Vanessa will play the part in a pretend romance guaranteed to make the city swoon. She’s game. As shy as Vanessa is, it’s her job to be Roland’s very own Lois Lane. Who knew that fake dating would change their worlds?
But falling head over heels for real makes for a dangerous shift in the narrative. A monstrous supervillain is bringing out Roland’s bad side again. This time, it’s to save a woman who, against all the odds, is becoming the human love of his superhero life."
"He’s got claws, tusks, a tail and… is he also breathing fire? Oh my.
Crash-landed on an alien planet where everything seems to want to kill me, I've got no choice but to rely on the hunter, Grizz, to help me survive, steer clear of the awful male I crashed with, and find my family missing somewhere on the island.
Huge, green-skinned, with a tail, tusks, and claws, Grizz seems so hot and cold. Could it be cultural differences? Why else would he be so reluctant to help me? Or…
… could it be that I've unlocked a fire-breathing monster within him that wants me, not just once, but to keep?
Eh, seems unlikely.
Set in the Xiveri Mates Universe, Taken to Revatu is a 50k-word orc shifter romance that can be read as a standalone at any point in the series—complete with an HEA.
Content warnings: threats of sexual assault, sleep play, fully shifted dragon-human mating, and battles."
"They call him the bone king.
A massive, beast of a male who worships the gods and is all too willing to provide them their sacrifices. Human sacrifices. He and his warriors have come to visit Winterbren, a poor little village on the outskirts of Wrath and my home.
I’ve never been more grateful to be a thrall, for my low status will ensure that I remain outside of his notice. But when he requests — nay, requires — a willing female to warm his furs for the duration of his stay, his selection falls to me. All I can do is pray to the gods that I survive the night…
And beg the bone king for mercy.
This book contains dark themes, including a Black woman in the position of thrall, graphic depictions of torture, non-con, and discussions of early childhood abuse. A full list of warnings can be found on my website."
"The final, full-length installment in the Xiveri Mates saga awaits, along with the Eshmiri reaver you love to hate and the assassin her soul is bound to.
He’s been hunting me for rotations. Now, it’s time to return the favor.
I knows things have gone ecking south when the Sky sends its full army to hunt me down. Now, I'm stranded on an adorably violent little planet with only Jerrock to rely on — and he hates me.
Jerrock. Sky assassin. The Quadrants’ most renowned killer. He wasn't always, though. I remember who he used to be before and I want him to remember, too, but he wants eck all to do with me.
He thinks I'm just an addict, a fool, a reaver with no instincts for self preservation. He says that reavers like me can't be trusted. He says that assassins like him can’t love.
But as we crash through the cosmos together with an army on our trail, I'm going crack through his armored flesh if it kills me—and it just might—but I'll prove him wrong.
Ashmara, you really think I could forget? My soul remembers who you are.
Taken to Sky is the ninth and final full-length book in the Xiveri Mates series and features two damaged antiheroes finding each other and their place in the cosmos. This book can be read as a standalone and will feature familiar faces from previous books before ending with an HEA.
Content warning: look out for darker themes, including overcoming addiction, battles, and spice, as well as a dub-con/CNC scene."
"The alien gladiator is going to win… and I'm the prize.
What's got four arms, huge spikes shooting out of his spine, and is utterly insane? Oh yeah, that's right. It's the freaking alien gladiator who's fighting in the games—for me—because I'm the prize he's geared to win.
How I ended up here is just as much of a mystery as is how I lost my memory. I've got no idea who I am, where I'm from, or why no other species on this diverse and chaotic planet look anything like me.
But as the gladiator and I spend more time together, I'm starting to realize… yeah, he might be crazy, but so am I. And we may just need to put our crazies together if we've got any shot at getting off of this rock and out of this arena alive.
Welcome to the gladiator games of Evernor in Xiveri Mates Book 8! This alien romance contains brutal battles and a lot of spice—including a full shekurr—before reaching its HEA. With crazy world-building abounding, it is also best enjoyed after previous books in the series."
"I'm awoken after a thousand's year sleep to a brutal world ruled by a male who may be the devil himself—Ero. Strange that, though so much has changed, language hasn't lost its roots. Because of that, I'm able to interpret his tongue—the only one who can. I plan to use my strengths to free the captive tribes from Ero's brutality or, better yet, teach Ero that we can be stronger by working together. If I do that, I won't just change the warlord himself, I'll change everything. Too bad he's vowed to kill me first.
Welcome back to Earth—what's left of it, that is, in Xiveri Mates book seven. This barbarian warlord romance is gritty and by far the darkest in the Xiveri Mates universe, containing multiple violent scenes—including acts by the hero against the heroine. It is a complete standalone that can be read at any point and, as ever, features a fighting heroine who ensnares the villain and a guaranteed HEA."
"Book 4, Taken to Heimo:
He hates me and all humans. But he still calls me his.
This full-length space-opera romance features an angry alien and a head-scarf-wearing human heroine who is far too polite to meet anger with anger… most of the time.
Book 5, Taken to Kor:
Roses are red, violets are blue, Rhork's a psycho and he's a space pirate, too.
Meet the possessive space pirate of Kor in this adrenaline-filled romp through space featuring a four-armed alien and a plus-sized human heroine.
Book 6, Taken to Lemora:
He's the wealthiest male in the quadrants and I make his horns…itch.
Somewhere within a distant constellation, a grumpy alien meets a hybrid human female who's just discovering freedom and is eager to grab it by the horns—literally."
"He's the oldest of his kind. Terrifying. I'm human, insignificant, scared, and scarred. It shouldn't be too hard to escape his notice. But wait… why is he walking over here? He… wants to dine with me. No. He must want more…
Justice dealer of the seven regions, Lahve is tasked with maintaining order. His focus should be on that, not on a female who is too young for him by several hundred lifetimes.
She has been scarred by this world, and Lahve cannot undo her past. She wants to be left alone, but he cannot do that, either because when enemy gangs move to overtake their community, he needs her help to track them into Population and cut them off.
She fears recapture. How can he make her understand that he is the most powerful creature in this world and he will slaughter any who venture too close? Because she is the only human who has ever made him feel what he's never felt: Human.
If she does not agree to help him hunt down their shared enemies, humanity itself may be lost.
He looks at me like I'm crazy when I show up to dinner with... expectations, because he has expectations, too... like helping him save the world.
Immortal with Scars is book three in the Population series and features a scarred human heroine and a 3000-year-old inhuman hero with fangs. This book can be enjoyed as a standalone. Expect a dark romance with medium-high heat for mature listeners."
"He's the wealthiest male in the quadrants and I make his horns… itch.
I'm a hybrid from an unknown planet and a pleasure female up for auction. He's a Lemoran clan chief, among the wealthiest in all the quadrants.
With horns that shoot to the ceiling, the male shaped like a mountain is not one of the bidders supposed to purchase me. But he's here and he doesn't seem to want to leave.
Instead, he'd rather shout at me, the grump that he is and, when other males come to place their bids, he offers something I don't expect:
To fight them to the death.
Author's Note: Taken to Lemora is book six in the Xiveri Mates series and features a grumpy alien and a hybrid human female just discovering freedom and eager to grab it by the horns. Literally. Lemora is the not-too-distant neighbor of Voraxia, and while this book cameos a couple familiar faces, it focuses on a new couple in a new constellation and can easily be read as a standalone."
"I can see his scars, but he thinks all I can see are his scars.
I see more. The fighter, the sword, the shield, and I'm convinced that the only monstrous thing about him is the way he watches me like I'm something to be devoured.
Surviving the brutality of Population wasn't on Diego's f***ing bucket list. But when a merry band of scavengers peels him off of the side of the road, patches him up, and insists he join their mixed human-Other community, he's got no choice.
Well, he had a choice, but that was before he followed the prettiest d**n human he'd ever seen into the woods, fought her, and... lost. When she gives him the choice of hurting her, hunting her, or helping her, he finds it inexplicably difficult to do the first two, even though that's all Population ever taught him.
Gangs are after her, and out here in the ruins, there are no guardian angels. So he'll help her. He'll be her guardian monster. In Population, all monsters are born with claws.
I'm going to free him from his demons. I just have to escape the demons who want to use me for their ritual sacrifice first.
Monster in the Oasis is book two in the Population series and picks up directly where Lord of Population left off. It features a new couple with their own HEA and has medium-high heat levels and dark themes. Intended for mature listeners."
"I thought he liked me. He's been my only source of company for the past rotation that I've been held captive. But when he rejects me in front of everyone, I get the shrov out, determined to find humans on another satellite far far away from this mess that is my life. Except I don't exactly receive the warm homecoming I expect. Instead this homecoming is more of the dangerous stabby stabby variety . . . and to get out of the new mess I've found myself in, I might just need a space pirate's help. But what will I have to trade him for it?
Taken to Kor is the fifth book in the Xiveri Mates series! This is an adrenaline-filled romp through space with a four-armed alien and a plus-sized human heroine. Best read after the fourth book, this is a romance with lots of blasters and battles—and one where the villain gets the girl."
