Her Alien Cyborgs

The only thing that ever came easy for her was trouble.

 After a lifetime of busting her ass and bending the law just to scrape by, Hezza is running on fumes. Her ship is even older than she is, and both are feeling their age. Is she ready to retire? Hell no. Hanging up her flight suit is the last thing she wants, even if it’s the smart thing to do.

Before she can make that choice, trouble finds her again… and this time it comes with a double order of hard muscles, sinful smiles, and alpha attitude.

They had nothing. No past. No future. No names. Then she appeared… and everything changed.

Subjects Six and Seven are failed experiments. Created in secret using banned technology and stolen DNA, they were created as weapons for a not-so-distant war. Too stubborn to be controlled and too valuable to terminate, they exist only to serve… and to dream of freedom.

Fate brought three battered hearts together, but it will take more than luck to survive the coming storm. Hezza is their key to happiness, and they’re her first rays of hope in a life spent in the shadows. Together, they’re going to change the galaxy… or die trying.

 

Her Cyborg Commander – Bonus Epilogue

River opened the front door of her home and was greeted by a hint of smoke and something that smelled delicious.

“Please tell me dinner is almost ready. I’m famished!” she called out.

Edge stuck his head out of the kitchen, his expression stormy. “My first attempt failed. There has got to be something wrong with the oven in this place. It keeps burning everything!”

She had to bite her lip to keep from laughing. They both knew there was nothing wrong with the appliance.

“Or did you try to speed up the cooking time by increasing the temperature again?” She asked as innocently as she could manage.

He skewered her with a glower that could have sent an army running in the other direction and growled before asking, “Are you making fun of me, minx?”

“Oh, no. If I mocked my commander, he’d punish me. I’d never do that.” Even as she spoke, she turned and bolted for the back door.

“Someone is getting a spanking!” He called after her, already in pursuit.

Veth, she hoped so. After a long, hard day of flight training, she wanted nothing more than to let go of all her responsibilities and submit to the male she loved so much.

He caught her before she made more than partway across the backyard. They went down together in a tangle of limbs. He growled threats. She laughed, and soon they both had exactly what they needed.

Later, they curled up together on the swing Edge had commissioned upon their return to Haven. Axe had turned what could have been a simple, sturdy structure into a work of art. Carvings flowed along every available surface. Faces, places, and memories forever captured in wood, they collectively told a story. Their story.

River nestled closer to Edge, careful not to put too much weight on her still-tender backside. From the deck, they watched the river flow by as the sky deepened to the colors of sunset. Their clothes were still scattered across the grass, but neither of them wanted to move and break the spell of pure contentment that had ensnared them both.

Edge bowed his head to nuzzle her hair. “How did training go?”

“You’d think that since I had already uploaded and reviewed all the training materials, I should know what I was doing.” River sighed and leaned into her lover’s strong arms. “But there’s still a lot I need to learn the slow, old-fashioned way.”

“There’s an old saying about experience being the best teacher,” Edge said. “But I understand. It feels like we have mountains of work still to do, and not enough time to do it.”

“Exactly.” River indulged in a luxurious, full-body stretch before continuing. “Even after Chance said Haven was relatively safe, I just can’t shake the feeling that something is coming for us. All of us.”

“Me too. But we’re doing everything we can. Hell, Haven is more ready now than we’ve ever been. You and the other cyborg pilots are training to fly fighter craft. The Rangers have ramped up recruitment, and every day I’m seeing new faces at the practice arena. The multi-discipline training classes are so popular we’re going to need more instructors soon.”

“You say instructor like it’s a job title and not an excuse for you to tell other beings what to do. Only now you’re yelling at cyborgs and Vardarians,” she teased.

“And humans,” he reminded her. “The Earth-born females are honestly a little terrifying. I always thought of them as small and fragile.”

River laughed. “Don’t let any of them hear you say that. They’ll take those newly learned combat skills and put you on your ass.”

“They could try,” he muttered. “But I’m not easy to beat.”

Her laughter grew louder. “Really? Because I managed to do it with a battery and an electrified plate.” She flared out her fingers and made a noise buzzing noise. “Bzzt.”

“You cheated,” he stated.

“You trespassed,” she shot back.

He reached down to pinch the soft curve of one butt cheek. “Behave.”

In response, she stuck out her tongue. “Make me.”

“With pleasure,” he growled.

As his mouth slammed down on hers, the smoke detector went off inside the house.

“Dinner’s burning,” she whispered.

“Let it burn.” Edge raised his head to stare down at her, his ice-blue eyes burning with desire. “You’re all that matters to me, minx. Now, and forever more. So long as I have you, I have everything I need.”

“You’ll always have me,” she said as she cupped his bearded cheek in one hand. “And I will always have you. My love, my protector…” she brushed her thumb across his lips. “My commander.”

Her Cyborg Commander

Coming to Haven colony should have marked the start of her new life, but the past isn’t done with her, yet.

River had negotiated the agreement that brought the survivors of Reamus Station to Haven. Back then, she’d dreamed it would be a sanctuary for her cyborg brethren, somewhere out of reach from those who had created and tormented them. She’d been wrong.

Now her home, her friends, and the future she worked so hard for are all in danger… because of her.

 

He’d vowed to protect every cyborg in Haven… but he’d take on the galaxy to keep her safe.

Edge doesn’t have any illusions about who or what he is–a weapon forged in the heat of battle and quenched in the blood of his kills.

As happy as he is for the rest of his brethren to settle into new lives, he can’t see himself doing the same. It’s enough for him to watch over them from a distance, especially when it comes to River. She’s beautiful, frustratingly stubborn, and far too good for him.

When an old enemy threatens their new home, these broken souls will have to decide which rules are worth breaking, and which chances are worth taking.

Her Cyborg Lumberjack

Birds were her only passion… until she met him.

 Rin has dedicated her life to the study of birds. When the military uncovers a lost project that results in a new avian species, they hire Rin to investigate what they’ve created… and how to best use their newest assets.

Rin wants more for her subjects than a life of risk and servitude, but keeping secrets from the military is a dangerous game… especially when playing alone.

This cyborg thought he was better off on his own… then he found her.

 Infantry scout. Prisoner. Unwilling test subject. Axe has been many things in his life, but most of it he spent alone. Freedom hasn’t changed that. He protects the colony from a distance—patrolling the wild places others avoid.

He thought he had everything he needed until a chance encounter changes everything. Now he’s got a psychic hawk in his head and a bright and cheerful scientist sneaking into his heart.

She needs his protection. The psy-hawks need his help. And Axe is about to discover that a life of solitude isn’t what he wants after all.

Cyborgs, aliens, intrigue, and romance… Welcome to Haven Colony.

Her Alien Mates

 She dreamed of being free to make her own decisions. When it comes to a mate, why must she pick just one?

Haven colony has everything a newly freed cyborg could hope for. After a life of violence and forced obedience, Shadow can finally make her own choices. But freedom comes with its own challenges – and hers includes a pair of sexy as fraxx aliens who both lay claim to her heart.

 

Her Cyborg Champion

She risked everything to escape from Earth - but her new life came with a cost.

Haven colony is Maggie’s new home and her one chance at freedom. Clean water, free air... As far as she’s concerned, it’s paradise. But getting here meant leaving her best friend behind.

It doesn’t take long for her to learn Haven is surrounded by hidden dangers—and the most dangerous of all is a sexy, scarred cyborg named Striker.

Her Alien Forgemasters

She doesn’t do mornings, cardio, or long-term relationships. Then her mates walked into her bar…

  Anya couldn’t be happier. Her tavern is packed every night, her staff is amazing, and her nosy mother is busy hauling cargo on the far side of the galaxy. It’s taken her years of work to reach this moment, and she’s ready to relax and enjoy the ride.

The last thing she needs is a romance to mess up her plans. She’s managed quite well without a man in her life, so why did the universe send her two?
