"I live on pain . . . but for her, I only want to cause pleasure.
Penelope: One minute I'm conducting important research on a distant planet, and the next, I've fallen through a crack in the surface and am transported to an underground world with terrifying fanged creatures who want to eat me, an army of feathered warriors who rescue me, and a massive horned demon leader who gains power through pain . . . except he's only giving me pleasure.
He wants to keep me, and I have to admit, I don't hate the flaming underworld anymore. But I can't stay—my air filter will only last so long down here, and as for my demon? He can't survive on the surface. We are from two different worlds that never should have collided . . . what kind of future is there for a hot, alien demon and a human woman?
Claimed by the Demon Alien is a standalone sci-fi romance featuring a horned alien who used to torture his enemies and now spends his time picking flowers for his botanist human girlfriend.

"If I save him . . . maybe he'll save me.
After finding my apartment ransacked for the third time, I'm done being stalked. I'm just some nameless orphan who's only trying to survive in this broken city. I shouldn't matter. I shouldn't be a target. I shouldn't have to live on the run. But here I am, trying to find a hideout when living beyond the city without a permit is punishable by death. I'm desperate. But I'm scrappy too, and soon I'm surviving off the land with only the rodents for company.
Everything's fine. Until he shows up. Injured and distrustful, he needs to hide too. But this space is mine, and I'll fight for it. Except in his wounded delirium, this stranger calls my name with a familiarity that makes my heart pound.
When our sanctuary is invaded, I learn I'm not just hiding from a stalker, but it turns out I'm the center of a family war and the battle for a planet. And the only thing standing between me and the monsters who want me dead is the stranger on my doorstep . . . and he's got wings.

"'She's my match . . . in more ways than one.'
Sherif: Although my brother disappeared many cycles ago, I've never given up hope that he's alive. I get word about a human who has seen him, but she's evading me. When I finally come face to face with her, the situation becomes a whole lot more complicated, because I can't deny the pull toward the female with the smart mouth. She doesn't know it yet, but she'll be by my side as I rule over my people.
Zuri: I heard about the Kaluma looking for me, and I'm not interested. No way. It's bad enough he knows I'm human, but if he finds out the reason I'm free from my captors, he'll surely lop my head off with his deadly blades.
But he's hard to shake, and when we finally meet, I realize there's a whole other problem—he's claiming me as his mate, and I'm not sure I can resist.

"Instead of a white knight, I got a bronze alien . . .
Rain: My life has never been my own, and that's never been more true than in the Rinian Galaxy. I've always had dreams that led me to believe my life is bigger than being the servant to some snake alien queen, but as each year goes by, I'm beginning to think my subconscious is lying to me. Until he shows up . . . the Kaluma with one blue eye who I've never forgotten. But he's not who I remember, and it seems this galaxy has broken another soul.
Kazel: I will rescue Rain, and I refuse to die trying. She's the reason I'm alive, and I always repay my debts, even if it means pretending to be someone I'm not to infiltrate the enemy's stronghold.
But this won't be easy. As I embark on the mission of my life, I know it will take all of my wits to rescue the beautiful, strong human and then convince her I'm her future . . . as her fated mate.

"I've never met him before . . . so why do I feel as if I've known him all my life?
Scoring a job at the exclusive and secretive Hotel Castle Verna is exactly what I need to pay off my debt and avoid a punishment I might not survive. The guests are a little eccentric, but they are great tippers. All I have to do is ignore the strange sights, smells, and sounds coming from the guest rooms, and I can remain gainfully employed. Simple, right?
Except there's one guest at the hotel who's always watching me with his mismatched black and white eyes. Half his face is covered with a black mask, and his stare sets my skin on fire. I don't know him . . . and yet I feel known with every stolen glance.
Strange happenings are going on at the hotel, and each day, I fall deeper into a world I never knew existed. And the guest who's watching me? He isn't who I thought he was . . . but then again, neither am I.

"I'll earn her trust and then I'll make her mine . . .
Mouse: I have no memory or what or who I am, all I know is that everyone and everything is out to hurt me. Hands slap, teeth bite, and boots kick. So when I meet a big, bronzed warrior with blue eyes whose hands are gentle and voice is kind, I don't trust him. And when he starts showing up in my dreams, a part of me I long thought was dead awakens with a passion.
Cravus: When I'm hired to protect the small female on a cross-planet journey, I'm told she's a new, unintelligent species. I can't get close enough to her without her snapping her blunt teeth at me, but underneath the dirty hair and clean rags, I could swear she's clever.
When a nasty attack has us on the run, I know the only way to keep ourselves alive is to get her to trust me. And only then do I learn she's human and not only that—she's my mate too.

"I don't want to be a princess . . . I want to fight too.
Bazel: All my life I've been treated with kid gloves, and I'm tired of it. I want to live up to the legacy of the proud Drixonian females with which I share half of my DNA. There's one thing in my way—a young warrior who knows my secret and threatens to tell my father. So I make a deal with him, and soon his annoying presence at my side changes into something more . . .
Trapt: From the first moment I see Bazel, my entire world changes. The sun rises and sets with her. I can never be her equal—her father would never allow it—but I'll do what I can to keep her safe from the enemies closing around our borders. Even if that means teaching her everything I know. Even if that means risking everything.

"I don't play by the rules . . . until her.
Maisie: I'm tired of being scared, but fear is like a constant companion these days. Some big blue alien stole the last of my friends, and now I'm alone as a prisoner on a spaceship on my way back to the planet that stole everything from me.
I thought I'd seen the last of the blue aliens, until suddenly I'm staring into the eyes of one as he gets ready to fire a laser right into the cockpit where I sit. And at this point in my life, I'm thinking this might be the best way to go.
Maddic: I'm minding my own business when an enemy aircraft tries to shoot me out of the sky. Of course I'm going to retaliate, and as I line up my final shot, something from inside the enemies cockpit catches my eye—the face of a terrified human female.
Now I'm trying to save both of us from hurtling to the ground and going splat. I figure that's my most difficult task yet. I don't factor in learning that this human is my mate, and if I don't get her to trust me, we're never getting home.

"I know I have to chase her… but what happens when I catch her?
Neve: I was odd even before the evil aliens kidnapped me and messed with my brain. Now? I'm even more of a weirdo. I never minded being alone until I found a group of friends who accepted me and who never made me feel like an outcast, even if I had never fully told them the truth about myself. They were stolen, and I'd do anything to find them again and keep them safe, even if it means searching this entire planet. Now if I only I can shake this creepy, silent blue alien who's been hunting me for days.
Relk: This isn't her territory. It's mine, and I've protected it longer than I can remember. The weather is cold, the food is scarce, and who cares if I'm alone? She's got enemies following her, and I have to catch her before she causes any more problems. The easiest thing to do would be to end her myself, but some locked recesses of my mind tell me I'm not supposed to kill her . . . I'm supposed to protect her.

"I always take out my target . . . until her.
Bosa: I have many talents and they're all for hire. My best skill is hunting the dregs of the galaxy, and when I find my prey . . . let's say no one ever hears from them again. My latest target is a human trafficker, and the kicker is . . . she's human. Selling her own kind? I'll relish this. But when I find there's more to her story than I've been told, suddenly I'm not sure who's hunting who.
Karina: I've heard of the big Kaluma with a spiked bat, so I know evading him won't be a cake walk. As my assassin, he's ruthless. Until he finds out my truth. Now he's sticking by my side, claiming me as his mate, and I can't believe it but . . . I think I'm falling for the cocky alien with glowing blue eyes.

"I offer myself as bait . . . but am I really just a pawn?
Trix: The red aliens make me a deal I can't refuse—help them fight their enemies and they'll rescue my friends. I agree to act as bait to lure the blue Drixonian leader. But the heated, knowing look in his violet eyes makes me suspect I made a bargain with the wrong aliens . . .
Kutzal: This female isn't like the others. She's prickly, cold, and shot me with an arrow. I want her. But she thinks I'm the enemy, and unless I can find a way to communicate despite our language barrier, her friends will be the ones at risk. I never back down from a battle, so this is one I will win. And then I'll claim my mate.

"She's something I didn't want, but everything I crave.
Lu: This planet is the pits. I'm being handed off to different aliens one after another like I'm a dog-eared novel. My latest captors are about to take me off planet when a big blue alien botches the rescue mission. Now we're both prisoners of a fierce lizard species who will let us free on one condition, and I think our life span is looking bleak.
Axton: I know my way around swords, enemies, and blood, but this human is something else. She never stops talking, asks too many questions, and makes my blood hot. All we need to do is find the missing offspring of the lizard king. Between my muscles and her sporadic ability to tell the future, I figure we might just make it out alive.
While battling for our lives, I'm also fighting to keep my hands off the fiery human. But time is running out, and if I want a future with her, I have to complete the hardest hunt of my life.
