Beauty and the Space Beast

2016

Beauty Mara Duport has always dreamed of home, a place where she belongs. She knows that she has one, but ever since she was a kid, her dad’s been keeping the secret of her origin locked away, refusing to give her any information. Dad’s been keeping more than one secret. He’s in debt—a lot of debt—and the ruthless pirates he borrowed the money from are coming to collect. The pirate captain is renowned the galaxy over for his brutishness and cruelty—but when Mara sees his stoic face, her heart races, her mouth goes dry… and she offers herself as payment. Space Beast Torak of Basniel has a fierce, uncaring, ruthless reputation to live up to. So when a beautiful, innocent woman offers herself up to him on a platter, Torak doesn’t think twice. What does he care about stealing away this man’s precious daughter? But Torak gets a more than he’s bargained for. Mara’s more than just innocent—she’s also intelligent, skilled, beautiful—and she can see right through him, past the thorny exterior, down to the heart he thought died long ago. Being vulnerable was never part of the plan. Love was never part of the plan. Torak knows he’s an irredeemable monster, but with Mara he feels different. He sees the opportunity to be more than what’s always been expected. Mara knows that there’s something beautiful and redeemable inside Torak, and she won’t leave him until he finds it. Not until she can tame the beast. Beauty and the Space Beast is 50,000 words of exciting, page-turning, romance with strong themes of self-discovery and adventure. This book contains NO harsh language, explicit violence, or graphic romance scenes. It is an adult romance, but is suitable for older YAs as well. I hope you enjoy!

Cinderstellar

2017

When you wish upon the stars… you might get more than you ever dreamed of. Clipped wings… Stella wants nothing more than to be a pilot like her mother, who died on a mission years ago. However, she doesn’t want to be like the arrogant “Aces” at Starforge Academy, especially that show-off Dax. But the Aces aren’t her biggest problem. Her father—the Commandant of Starforge Academy—and stepmother won’t even let her enroll. Stella has to sneak into the flight simulators late at night, when no one’s around, to get close to her dream. Reluctant royalty… Dax is like the prince of Starforge—not only the best pilot at the Academy, but the son of a famous general. No one knows his secret: Dax hates his superstar status, and he doesn’t want to go fight on the front lines when he graduates. The pressure to follow in his father’s footsteps has taken all the joy out of flying. When he discovers that someone at the school is beating all his scores on the simulators—and then hiding the evidence—he’s determined to find out who it is. Though he’s unable to discover his mysterious competitor’s identity, he learns enough to suspect that she just might be the girl of his dreams. Soaring ambitions... Stella learns that the Academy is holding a school-wide exhibition of flying talent, with the winner allowed to fast-track their pilot’s license. She has to find a way to enter, and show her father what she's capable of. But that will mean outing herself to the school—and the ever-more-intriguing Dax. Will her stepmother ruin everything, or can Stella and Dax finally meet outside the simulators… and achieve their heart’s desires?

Lady and the Space Tramp

2017

A woman trapped by duty… Melody is a woman bound by obligation. She loves her family, but can’t help dreaming of more. Exploring faraway lands, thrilling adventures, maybe even kissing strangers? Anything sounds better than caring for her sickly aunt and quiet, boring, small-town life. A man on the run… With quick wit, an easy smile, and that devilish twinkle in his eye, Konrad has always been able to charm his way out of every bad situation, and into every lady’s affections. His life is footloose, fancy free, and criminally funded—everything he wants it to be. He’s never slowed down long enough to consider any other possibilities. An Intergalactic Dating Agency… When a bizarre-looking alien from Celestial Mates knocks on Melody’s door, telling her that he’s found her perfect match, she thinks she may have stayed out in the sun too long. But after the cherub whisks her into a world of aliens, a tyrannical queen, and fearless rebels—not to mention the oh-so-charming thief who threatens to steal her heart—she’s just not sure she’s cut out for the life of grand adventures she’s dreamed about. If any woman had ever mentioned marriage or kids to him, Konrad would have been gone before she finished her sentence. But the longer he’s in Melody’s company—with her sharp wit and steel determination—the more his dreams are featuring picket fences and puppies. But Konrad can’t hide from his past forever and they’re both in grave danger as the evil Queen closes in. Will Melody give up her desires to go home, to live with him on the run? Will Konrad risk everything to settle down with the one woman who’s made him want to?

The Little Cyborg

2017

Dust and daydreams... Celine Velmann’s never seen the sky. Her entire life, she’s lived in the Wastelands, where brutal dust storms that fill the sky are a way of life. She’s always dreamed of the stars that she’s only seen in pictures, but even her infallible robotic arm can’t craft the technology to get into orbit, so she’s stuck on the ground. A Pampered Prince... Ben’s never been good at anything but flying, but in the air, he’s the best there ever was. When the King—Ben’s father—orders all flights in the city grounded, he’s left stir-crazy and starved for action. Crazy enough to steal a ship and volunteer for a desperate, doomed, last-resort mission straight into the gaping maw of the Wasteland. Two Worlds Collide... When she sees a ship crash, Celine’s drawn toward it like a magnet—maybe this is the chance she’s always hoped for, the chance to escape her dusty life for something more. But when the hatch opens to reveal a half-dead but handsome human, she thinks twice. After all, her father’s warned her that humans are dangerous. That, if they could, they’d kill every last one of Celine’s kind. A day later Ben wakes up in a hospital bed, broken and bruised. The only thing he can remember about the Wasteland is a beautiful woman with vivid eyes, a soothing voice... and a mechanical arm. Everyone knows cyborgs are just a legend, something parents tell their kids about to keep them in line. But when a strange, familiar woman shows up in the City, Ben finds her very intriguing. Things go off the rails quickly when Ben’s city is exposed to the punishing dust and Celine realizes her family is in the cross-hairs of a vengeful alien.

Welcome to Planet Neverland, where all your dreams become reality and responsibilities are a worry of the past. Wendy Darling has always been the dutiful, doting sister to her twin brothers, John and Michael, so wrapped up in protecting them from themselves that she’s put her life on hold, never experiencing any of the excitement the world has to offer for herself. Now adults, the boys are tired of being stifled by Wendy's smothering and long for freedom and adventure. They get more than they bargained for when they meet Peter, a street performer from another planet, on Earth seeking new additions to his show. Peter's in dire straits after most of his crew disappeared without a trace. He's desperate for more performers and happily accepts the twins into his crew—even if it means their bossy sister tags along. She insists. There’s more to Wendy than meets the eye; her biting wit and fierce protectiveness make her stand up against Peter like no one ever has—and he likes it. But Neverland isn't as worry-free as Peter promised. Performers are vanishing in droves and despite his burgeoning romance with Wendy, Peter knows he has a target on his back. It's only a matter of time before his past catches up to him.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarf Planets

2017

She's lost everything, but now she's come to take it back... Years ago, the Queen took everything from Snow White: her family, her home, and the throne that is rightfully hers. But the last straw came when the Queen killed the only person left in Snow’s life—the caretaker that helped her escape the palace as a young girl. Now, Snow wants more than revenge, she wants to take back what is hers. Hunter’s life has been ruined by the Queen, too. Forced to do her dirty work or meet his untimely end, Hunter’s been sent to capture the rebellious Princess and bring her to the Queen on charges of treason—a crime punishable by public execution. The task is harder than it seems. The Princess offers hope of a better future, one where Hunter wouldn’t have to fear for his life every day, but it’s clear that she can’t do this alone. Even clearer that she’s determined to try. Together, they must journey through the galaxy, following the breadcrumbs left by Snow’s father to find the means to bring down the Queen for good. Snow knows she shouldn’t trust anyone—especially not the handsome man who mysteriously attached himself to her cause—but Hunter soothes her constant self-doubt and makes her believe she has a shot. But whose side is he really on? The ruthless Queen with his life in her hands, or the stubborn inexperienced Princess without a plan? Regardless, Snow knows if she wants to end the Queen’s reign of terror she’ll have to become the ruler her people need, with or without Hunter’s help.

Thumbelalien

2018

It's a big Universe out there... Lina may only be three inches tall, but that doesn’t stop her from fixing any and everything in her path. That works out pretty well since she's got an experimental physicist as an adoptive mom—less well when one of those experiments runs haywire and flings her across the Universe to a strange planet with no way home. On the mysterious planet of Mabnoa, Lina meets an entire village of tiny people like her—including the unbearably cute and charming Prince Bain, who quickly sweeps her off her feet with his wide-eyed enthusiasm about traveling the stars and exploring the unknown. The Queen has other plans; Mabnoa has been isolated for generations for a reason and she’s not about to let her son put the entire planet at risk over an infatuation. Her opposition forces the pair to flee under the cover of night, but escaping the Queen’s overbearing protection soon becomes the least of their obstacles—malfunctioning ships, enemy aliens, and an age-old struggle all stand in the way of Bain and Lina’s happily ever after, putting their bond to the ultimate test. Thumbelalien is a sci-fi retelling of Thumbelina. It is over 90,000 words of sweet, clean romance, with NO explicit sexual or violent content, suitable for adult and YA audiences. Enjoy!
