Security

2007

A dark corner of a seedy bar on the edge of nowhere. A woman who's seen too much. A man who moves through the shadows with the grace of a cat. She's on his tail, and he's determined to find out why. Once he might have been flattered to have her checking out his ass. Now he knows women are dangerous. And far, far too expensive. But Commander Kala Decoltéir always gets her man, and she wants the space pirate they call Dancer—no matter who—or what—he is. This time, Dancer has no escape.

Reckoning

2008

Vihlok Torral is a dashing, though somewhat unscrupulous, "contractor" forced into exile on Spaceport Adana. He offers a variety of less than legal services for outlandish fees. When an anonymous client asks him to kidnap a young woman during her wedding and sully her reputation so badly the groom will no longer want her, he's intrigued. A past indiscretion leaves Rana Jabulayni little choice but to accept an unwanted marriage. Yet one night alone with her fiancé convinces Rana overthrowing her mother is better than being bartered as part of a trade agreement. Needing time to stage a political coup, Rana arranges her own kidnapping. Vihlok has dreamed of repaying the corrupt House of Jabulayni for their utter indifference to his people ever since the war ended. A quirk of fate has left his enemy at his mercy and the day of reckoning is long overdue. Knowing the uninhibited people of Adana will shock and scandalize the sheltered princess, Vihlok agrees to kidnap/rescue her. But Princess Rana is not nearly as sheltered as Vihlok presumes and erotic adventures await them both down the corridors of Spaceport Adana.

Bite

2008

The last thing Dryson expects when he takes his latest shipment of smuggled goods to Spaceport Adana is to end up with a Rajian sex slave, Sasha. Sure, he planned a little R & R, but the impulsive buy is proving to be more than he bargained for. Sasha is a force to be reckoned with, and her bite is definitely worse than her bark. Something else Dryson doesn’t expect is to find himself face to face with an assassin sent to kill him. Belin, the large and very experienced killer, has other plans. Instead of killing Dryson, Belin wants to recruit him to smuggle much-needed goods to his home planet. Unfortunately, the Interplanetary Alliance Council has strong objections to letting Dryson live. When Dryson is taken hostage, Belin and Sasha must keep their cool and use all their cunning if they’re going to rescue him. Keeping a level head is not something a Rajian is capable of when her mate is in danger. Either of them.

Highest Bidder

2008

Ezelain Dream-Invader Dreylan Tarq was once the IAC’s most decorated Peace-Keeper—until he found his wife in his boss’s arms and his boss’s hands on his wife’s ass. Now Dreylan works only for himself—or for whoever’s brave enough to pay him the chits. Sent to Spaceport Adana by the one man he despises the most, Dreylan must buy the Terran slave, Naya Kistara, whatever the cost. Naya is a reiphia, a rare and valuable empathic mesomorph who permanently and irreversibly becomes her first sexual partner’s ideal mate in every way. She is also Old Earth’s only hope of becoming a member of the Interplanetary Alliance Council. Without her, the planet’s vulnerable, neglected people will surely perish. What Dreylan finds on ’Port Adana, however, is not just a virgin being sold into slavery, but a woman of fire and passion and strength. A woman who stirs his body like no other. A woman with a secret. Revenge is a powerful motivator. But then, so is desire.

Drop Zone

2008

Roen Decks gave up life as a space pirate to mine uralium—the red ore of Adana’s asteroids which can be turned into fuel. His enhanced senses ensure him of success, allowing him a sensitivity to his environment. And when he meets Kamura Shard, his enhanced senses drive him mad from the potent, rich scent of her arousal. Except Kam Shard turns out to be his supply runner—the one responsible for the suspicious string of accidents that undermine his mining operation. And when she shows up at his ship, livid to be accused of sabotaging equipment to ensure repeat customers, Decks lets her join his mining crew to repay the damage she’d caused. He needs to keep his hands off her. But with her scent teasing his senses, Decks isn’t sure he’ll be able to resist.

Incognito

2008

Jal is a bounty hunter. Kali is his quarry. When he finds the former socialite disguised as a cheap whore, turning tricks on Spaceport Adana, he can't believe his luck. All he has to do is return her to her fiancé, and he's rich. So what if he's sampling the wares on the trip home? It's not as if it's the first time she's traded in sex. Except that there's a reason why Kali ran from her privileged background, and once Jal hears it, he's faced with a dilemma. Previously, knowing his skip was facing certain death would never have bothered him, but this time all the money in the 'verse won't compensate for it. Can he send her home, knowing she'll be instantly killed, or should he believe her story and help with her mission—which might end up getting them both killed? Besides, it's very possible that Kali knows the secret to finding the one thing Jal has been searching for all his life?

Mary Winter

Author · 26 books

Mary commutes between her dream home near the Mark Twain national forest in Missouri and her current residence in Iowa. She lives with a menagerie of animals including an opinionated horse and a cat who was a dog in past life. When not writing spicy tales of erotic romance, she enjoys writing science fiction and fantasy, spending time with her horse, and enjoying the outdoors. Lucky for her, her partner (hero) shares these same passions, and usually both of them can be found in their respective dens writing. And it’s not far from the truth. Mary began writing in high school after she discovered Silhouette Desire romance novels and realized that she wanted to be the one to write stories that carried readers away from their oh-so-boring lives. She has a deep appreciation and love of the natural, the spirtual, and the metaphysical, which has led to her running Jupiter Gardens and writing for new age and pagan magazines. She is attuned to Reiki II and reads tarot cards. Right now her household includes six cats, ranging in age from less than six months (Tenzin, former feral kitten) to seventeen years (Tigger, diabetic kitty), her horse, two parrots, a finch flight, a geriatric parakeet flight, and her partner, the hero of her own personal romance story. Her favorite television shows are Torchwood, Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dr. Who (new), Battlestar Galactica (new), Babylon 5, Farscape, and Sex in the City. Her favorite movies are Spaceballs, The Cutting Edge, Serenity, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, the LoTR trilogy, and probably a few others she’s forgetting. Her musical tastes range from Enya, Clannad, David Arkenstone, David & Steve Gordon, Scott McDonald, and AfroCelt Sound System to Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, and others.

Lexxie Couper

Author · 69 books

Lexxie’s not a deviant. She just has a deviant’s imagination and a desire to entertain readers with her words. Add the two together and you get darkly erotic romances with a twist of horror, sci-fi and the paranormal. When she’s not submerged in the worlds she creates, Lexxie’s life revolves around her family, a husband who thinks she’s insane, a indoor cat who likes to stalk shadows, two yabbies hell-bent on destroying their tank and her daughters, who both utterly captured her heart and changed her life forever. Having no idea how old she really is, Lexxie decided to go with 27 and has been that age for quite some time now. It's the best of both worlds - old enough to act mature, young enough to be silly. And silly she can be. Just ask her husband who frequently has to endure her bursting into song whenever the mood strikes her, feeling him up in public (one of her favorite pastimes), or rolling around in the sand with their dog - a large mutt of dubious origins who causes almost as much havoc around the neighborhood as Lexxie herself. Or squealing her way down the slide at the local park with her daughter! Lexxie lives by two simple rules - measure your success not by how much money you have, but by how often you laugh, and always try everything at least once. As a consequence, she's laughed her way through many an eyebrow raising adventure.
