"Lost to the madness of a witch's curse, the Orc King advances on the castle at Pontheugh. His heart pulls him in one direction while magic drags him in another. All the while, fate is at work, bringing two lonely souls ever nearer.
Alba . . . her heart breaking day by day. She's driven to her own kind of madness. A raid on her village should have been devasting and yet, she finds herself saved—free to start anew. But her deepest desire is unchanging and she finds herself so easily Captured by the Orc King."
"Desperate to find answers to the whereabouts of her niece, Ellyn does the unthinkable and releases a criminal brought in from the Perished Woods. Believing him to be nothing more than a man caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, she enlists his aid as a tracker. But the dark night can only shield his true form from her view for so long and when Ellyn finally looks into Ash's ghostly eyes, she knows exactly what type of monster she's released. An orc . . . the same fearsome beast responsible for the burning of her niece’s village. Forced into the cursed woods with a traveling companion he never meant to keep, Ash wants nothing more than to lose the girl, but the longer he walks with Ellyn at his side, he realizes he's more apt to lose himself."
"Tess didn't have much to miss when she was stolen from Earth. She left behind a lackluster job and a piece of trash, cheating boyfriend. It was tragic really, to lose her life before it had ever begun. Kidnapped and sold into slavery, she quickly found herself with a one-way ticket to prison. All hope of escape was lost. At that point, it was about survival and never once did she imagine that in the depths of an alien prison ship, her life would finally take shape.
Hope was a thing of the past for Crius as well. Years had gone by, each chipping away at his soul. He no longer felt like the man he once was. He felt more like a monster, pushed to the brink in order to protect a dorm that didn't care one way or another. Then she walked in, a ray of light in a dark life. She saw past the beast. After everything, she could still see him.
And what do you do when you find a reason for living? You fight. You fight for love, and you fight for family. When you know what real loss is, you can't bear to lose that which counts. When push comes to shove, Crius and Tess draw a line in the sand and they plot an escape from Alien Prison."
"Once the belle of her village, life took a dark turn for Adelaide upon her parent's death. Plagued by lingering grief, there was not a soul who didn't turn their back on her. They called her angry and spiteful . . . Hell, they called her a monster.
One fateful day Adelaide finds herself alone, lingering on the edge of the Perished Woods—a cursed and evil place. Without warning, an orc army attacks.
Her village ablaze, Adelaide races into the Perished Woods, seeking refuge in a place of nightmares. With orcs at her heels, she's desperate to escape. But when the young woman crosses an aging stone bridge in the middle of the cursed forest she's met with an even more fearsome enemy. A troll . . . one who is determined to save her."
"It's Christmastime on Elysia. The weather is as wintery as one can expect in a rain forest and our annual secret Santa game is in full swing. Yet for me, something's missing. My heart aches whenever I think of mi familia back home. Still, I'm determined to make this Christmas a special one and when I meet a Grinchy, green alien living high on a mountain above our village I've suddenly got a project.
For years this guy has been living in solitude—that ends now. No one should be alone, especially at Christmas. Family is the dearest thing to my heart and I'm going to make this Grinch a part of mine whether he likes it or not. But the one thing I didn't plan on, was falling in love in the process."
"Clark
Sometimes you meet people in life that draw you in like a magnet. The two of you align so perfectly there isn't anything you can do to stop the attraction. That's what it was like for me and Tennir. Only, this is an attraction that isn't meant to be and now I must do everything in my power to fight those feelings, because unfortunately, he's the one alien I can't fall in love with.
Tennir
I don't know when it happened, but it happened nonetheless. I fell for a human. One day in the lab our eyes met, and it dawned on me: she'd become my best friend in the world. I realized right then that I wanted more. I wanted all of her. But what is there to do if she fights the attraction we both feel? I have to find a way to convince Clark that no matter what world we're on, she and I belong together."
"Da'vi, the relentless. Da'vi, the cold and harsh. The alien who keeps his distance, yet never fails to bicker with me over the smallest details. Tension between us is coiled so tight it's bound to snap . . . and I'm bound to do what I always do—leave. There are a hundred different reasons I should go, yet I'm drawn in by the only thing that matters to me anymore—and it's certainly NOT Da'vi's friendship. I'm talking about saving humans.
One last mission and I'm done jumping through everyone's hoops, Da'vi's especially. Only, this lead we're following . . . it brings us closer than I ever thought we could be. And once Da'vi and I cross that line, there's no going back. I've got two choices: fight this bond . . . or SURRENDER.
Too bad for Da'vi I’m not the type of girl who goes down without a fight."
"My life on Earth was falling apart. I had just lost my mother to a short and sudden battle with cancer and was still struggling to recover when my husband decided to inform me that he was leaving me for another woman. Couldn't get much worse than that, right? Wrong. Because then I was abducted by aliens.
I got lucky though, my story had a happy ending. Me and the other girls, we got rescued and taken to a beautiful planet to live deep in an uninhabited rainforest. As far as alien abductions go, it was all fairly picturesque. And that's how I got a fresh start in life. Fresh except for my baggage, of course. But I'm an optimist and this time around I'm determined to get things right, to find my own happiness in life . . . Hell, maybe I'll even find a little romance.
When one sexy, golden alien takes notice of me I think I've found what I'm looking for. But then his brother becomes smitten as well and that's when things start to get messy. I'm not looking to enter a love triangle. I know the pain of a broken heart and I refuse to be the cause of one—or two, as the case may be. The only thing? Sharing my affection doesn't seem to bother these guys. As a matter of fact, sharing seems to be their goal."
