Sasha Robinson is a low-level engineer in Earth’s Starfleet, sent to repair satellites alone in deep space. When her little ship is sucked into a wormhole, on the other side is a new and unfamiliar galaxy—and a smuggling operation that salvages her ship and tosses her into a cage.

And when a cat man approaches her cage door… Ardalon Bavara is a Kursh Peacekeeper, working undercover in an illegal animal trafficking operation. When the crew he’s infiltrated pick up a strange new sentient lifeform—one that seems to be trying to communicate with him—his plans are instantly turned upside-down. He’s determined to help the hairless creature and still bring down the smugglers in the process. But can he do it and still protect the alluring new captive? Chaos erupts as Sasha makes a break for it, and she and Ardalon must work together to survive and complete his mission. Navigating the perils of new planets, Sasha soon discovers that the smugglers may have been the least of her worries… Can a low-level engineer swept away into a completely new galaxy navigate the political intrigue surrounding three alien species on the brink of war? \\\* Engineering Fate is an action packed sci-fi novel with dark themes, political intrigue, language barriers, first contact, and a slow burn alien romance.

Doctoring Fate

2022

Aliens desperately want what’s in her blood, and it’s up to him to get it—but all he wants is her heart. Darcy has wanted to be a doctor for as long as she can remember. Working as a combat medic in the military and eventually entering medical school, it’s right within her grasp—until her exposure to a deadly toxin leaves her bedbound. Her world shrinks to a single room, one forgotten by the military, school, and her family. Until the day General Amato comes knocking with the deal of a lifetime: the military’s blood nano Vaccine, a cure, in exchange for willing participation on a dangerous mission. They must travel straight into the unknown heart of the wormhole in search of the missing Sasha Robinson. All goes surprisingly well until she and her team crash land on an alien world hellbent on killing them. Carnivorous flowers, ambulatory trees, fantastic creatures straight out of fairy tales… and two green-scaled lizardmen offering a helping hand? Maddox is the Raxion planet’s ambassador, and he is given one crucial task: gain the stranded humans’ cooperation at any cost. His people are desperate to uncover the secret of Sasha Robinson’s mysterious blood nanos—what better opportunity than four marooned soldiers? He’s used to this work, lived and breathed espionage and subterfuge since long ago. And to avoid another Carthas massacre, he is willing to do anything, even woo the beautiful human medic named Darcy. Show her the local sights, appeal to her sense of adventure, maybe even steal a kiss… Falling in love with her wasn’t intended. And when the Raxion Prime General demands results, it all may come tumbling down. The highly anticipated sequel to Engineering Fate, Doctoring Fate is book 2 in the Outer Limits Quadrant series.

Interpreting Fate

2023

She’s been human trafficked to aliens, but a dashing space pirate captain has other plans for her when he robs her abductors. Delilah’s linguistic abilities have gotten her far in Starfleet. As far as an alien planet full of new languages and cultures to learn. But she never expected to be human trafficked by one of her own. Captain Lucien has been sailing space since he was a boy. Re-kidnapping an already kidnapped human female is child’s play for him and the crew of the Lusty Maiden. But he’s never been around females, especially not in close quarters nor for any long stretches of time. Are they all this soft, this curvy? Or this feisty? So infuriating? As Delilah and Lucien learn to communicate, what goes unsaid looms even larger for these two. Silent concerns, unvoiced feelings. Unfamiliar desires. With three alien species on the brink of war, this human catalyst is primed to accidentally light the fuse. The one thing she wants most is the only thing he can’t give her. Freedom. Interpreting Fate is a gritty action packed sci-fi novel with dark themes, political intrigue, language barriers, alien first contact, piracy, abduction, and a slow burn alien romance. Readers with triggers should check the content guide found at the beginning of the book. A HEA is guaranteed. All books in the Outer Limits Quadrant series follow a different couple but are best read in order.
