When you're stranded on an alien planet with over a dozen hot aliens who want to claim you, there's only one thing to do: get a bigger bed. When Celeste Ballatine took this government job, the last thing she expected was to crash on an uninhabited planet, leaving her separated from her crew and left for dead on the black sand beaches of Artaxa Prime. A primitive alien-lion hybrid finds her, and he speaks her language, but that's the least concerning thing. His chief demands she takes an alien mate, and Celeste doesn't do committed relationships. Not after last time. Ta'alo rescued the beautiful alien female when she crashed from the sky and fell to their planet. Torn between his loyalty and honor when the chief refuses to let her leave, Ta'alo hatches a plan to help her escape this fate. Though technically she's his, Ta'alo won't let Celeste pay back his kindness with her body out of obligation. Celeste is driven to find the crewmates she lost—the only permanent fixtures in her life. The only solution to the chief's demands is a fake relationship with this dangerous yet honorable kitty, but this game of cat and mouse will turn into something more if they're not careful. The Marvel-ous Mates of Artaxa Prime series is a slow-build "collection of multiple mates" / "menagerie" / R H, and Celeste's mate list will only grow larger with each subsequent book. The series should be read in order so that you can better understand all the surrounding elements of the plot.

Celeste's menagerie is growing, but her males don't mind sharing. Will there be enough of her to go around when another captures her heart between his talons? With crewmates Jax and Yuri still missing, Celeste and her furry feline mate journey deep into the heart of Aivarian territory. Ta'alo insists Hakai is the answer to her missing crewmate problem. Hakai is reserved, treated like a pariah, and seems to come with a lot of secrets. So when Ta'alo shows up with a Terran female in tow, looking very much like the cat that ate the canary, Hakai is wary of how much this favor will cost him. Celeste ruffles Hakai's feathers at every turn, and he can't help but take the bait. Just as the two of them start to warm to each other, an Aivarian patrol drags a weary and roughed up Jax into camp. Torn between her new alien mate, one of the crewmates she's been searching for, and a male ostracized for his colors—and his association with her—Celeste is forced to make a decision: leave Hakai behind, or insist he joins her flock. Celeste's situation is as tangled as the vines that creep up the tree Hakai lives in, but even he is not immune to the way her very existence draws males in—him included. He will help track down her other missing male, but when her use for him is gone, will she still want the hunky hawk around? The Marvel-ous Mates of Artaxa Prime series is a slow-build menagerie R H, and Celeste's collection of alien mates will only grow larger with each subsequent book. The series should be read in order, to better understand all the surrounding elements of the plot.

When you're stranded on an alien planet, it's a relief to see a familiar face. Unless, of course, that face is in bed with two intimidating alien males. After putting the dense, tropical forest of Hakai's people behind her, Celeste is on the move once again with three males in tow—one of them human. Jax surviving the crash was damn near a miracle, leaving her even more determined to find the last member of their crew, Yuri—not to mention a way off this planet. The last thing Jax expected to find after being dragged into the alien camp is Celeste, safe and spoiled in the arms of two strange males. His temper has always been hot, but hers is hotter, and their happy reunion turns sour when he tries to stake his claim on her. Now, he's forced to put differences aside, pining from afar for the woman who's secretly always owned his heart as they search for the last missing member of their crew. It doesn't matter that these natives have already laid claim to Celeste; Jax will have her, come hell or high water. Even if that means sharing her heart with two protective alien males. The Marvel-ous Mates of Artaxa Prime series is a slow-build menagerie R H, and Celeste's collection of alien mates will only grow larger with each subsequent book.
