Aria's Awakening

2019

A deadly alien arena isn’t the place to fall in love… For the last three years, Special Agent Aria Taylor’s nights have been filled with images of battling alien beings in a foreign land with purple skies and two suns. She thought they were just strange nightmares, but when a therapist suggests lucid dreaming, she wakes to find herself trapped in an alien arena, forced to fight in gruesome tournaments as one of their gladiators. She needs to escape that place, but if she’s going to have any chance of success, she needs help. Hazy memories push her to find two males. She doesn’t know their names, or where they’re from, but she recognizes them the moment she sees them, and her heart tells her they are hers just as much as she is theirs. Together Aria, Tirox, and Kix fight to free the beings enslaved with them and take down the Overlord, all while trying to understand the soul-deep bond they share. A deadly alien arena isn’t the place to fall in love, but Aria isn’t sure she can help herself. Aria's Awakening is a full-length SFR novel that was previously published as Taken. It kicks off a brand new series set in the universe of the Chosen Series by Stacy Jones.

Aria's Ascension

2020

They should’ve never taken her. Now, she’s going to show them just what happens when you get between a woman and her mates. After being caught by the Overlord, Aria is sent back to Earth with her memory wiped. But, the mental suppression isn’t strong enough to control her forever. Bit by bit, it begins to crack. Until, finally, she remembers… The arena. Her mates. The hundreds of slaves she’d sworn to free. She remembers everything. With the suppression constantly trying to drag her under, she struggles to distinguish what’s real and what isn’t. But one thing she knows for sure: she must find a way to leave Earth and get back to the alien slave planet. The Overlord should’ve killed her when he had the chance because nothing will keep her from returning to Tirox and Kix. When she gets back, she’s going to take him down, claim her mates, then take over the planet. Who said plotting world domination was only for the bad guys? Sometimes, to be the hero, you have to get your hands dirty. But, not everything is as it seems. And when she finds out the truth, it could change everything… Aria's Ascension is a full-length SFR novel that was previously published as Taken. Please do not repurchase if you've already purchased Taken. It is the second book in a new series set in the same universe as the Chosen Series by Stacy Jones

Victoria's Discovery

2020

Turns out getting abducted by aliens isn’t the worst thing ever. Terrifying at first, of course, because Victoria doesn’t know why she and the rest of the captives have been taken, but when they aren’t immediately set upon with probes and horrible experimentation, it’s not looking so awful. That is, until something goes wrong. Crash landing is bad. Finding out it’s on an alien slave planet is worse. But Victoria has the giant alien Vikings she’d been caged with, the hot green guy from the cell across from hers, and an invisible little space beastie by her sides to help her navigate this new world. Even better, the beginnings of a slave uprising are happening at the gladiator arena in which they landed. Seems like the start to a pretty incredible adventure, right? But unrequited infatuations for her alien friends, trying to find a place for herself amid the slave revolt, and adjusting to life on an alien planet aren’t Victoria’s only problems. Not everyone at the complex is who they seem. When Victoria stumbles upon a nefarious plot, it may be too late to save not just herself and the guys she’s maybe—definitely—fallen in love with, but all the inhabitants she’s supposed to be looking after. Will Victoria and her guys discover the culprit in time? Or will the cost of realizing just how treacherous life can be on an alien slave planet be their lives?

Victoria's Embrace

2020

With explosive trackers embedded in their arms, a psychopath in control of the gladiator arena they’ve come to call home, and slavers closing in, time is running out for Victoria and her guys… They managed to escape a slaver transport, only to find themselves trapped outside the walls of the arena and on the run in a dangerous alien city. Sounds harrowing, right? But Victoria’s got her guys—playful Thegan, scowly Thorn, and enigmatic Vi’kail—by her sides. Together, they’ll kick butt, free slaves, fall madly in love, and return to the arena just in time to save the day. Except not all adventures play out like they do in the movies… They’ll have to fight through unending obstacles, confront long-buried secrets, and test just how far they’re willing to go for one another to have any chance at their happily ever after. This is the third book in the Taken Series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone but is best enjoyed after reading Aria's Awakening (Taken Series 1) and Aria's Ascension (Taken Series 2).

An invitation to a hidden alien Queendom. Forced proximity with two males she can’t resist. Assassination attempts. Secrets exposed. And an alliance that could change the world. Aria Taylor’s hands are full leading a slave uprising, taking over an alien planet, and loving her two incredible mates.

When an emissary from one of the hidden Queendoms shows up at the complex with the promise of an alliance, it’s too good an opportunity to pass. But when Tirox and Kix suggest Rellik and Sin pose as her mates while they scope out the castle in secret, Aria’s tactic of avoiding the dangerously tempting males is about to be thrown out the window. Amid palace intrigue, assassination attempts, inescapable sexual tension, and shocking revelations from her mates, buried feelings are about to come to light. Can Aria grab the chance for a happily ever after? Or will everything come crumbling down around her? Either way, this is about to be one hell of a trip…
