Bridal Pact

2015

Poppy is bored to tears with her dead-end job and dull life, so when a species of alien warlords arrives on Earth, seeking women to help repopulate their race, why wouldn’t she sign up? She doesn’t care who she’s matched with—until she meets him. Sexy, long-haired and leather-pants-wearing Wheaton. Diplomat Wheaton expected a cultured Earthling to help in his mission, not some crazy-haired woman named after a flower and whose speech baffles his translator. Pardon my French? Knock it off? But Wheaton is soon smitten and eager to turn Poppy’s good-morning kisses into an all-day affair. Doing the nasty? Bring it on! But Poppy must do battle with the slimy councilor Demascus, and an extremist group opposed to the Pact. And that’s before a glitch in the Bridal Pact program makes all existing matches invalid, and glossy Hannah, the perfect politician’s wife, arrives on board. Her match: Wheaton. Reader Advisory: This story has graphic sexual language and scenes—no closed bedroom doors (or other rooms) here! An adult science fiction romance from Ellora’s Cave

Bridal Bonds

2016

RE-PUBLISHED by the author, this is Book Two of the Warriors of Phaeton series. Andi signed up for the Bridal Pact, but what with having to dissolve her possibly sabotaged mismatch and being kidnapped by extremists determined to wreck the Earth-Phaeton warrior alliance, her space adventure sucks big-time. But before she can catch the next shuttle back to Earth, she’s claimed by two new suitors, the dominant Rodin and the happy-to-try-it Tamin. The doctors come as a pair, one warrior providing the discipline she didn’t know she craved and the other lightening her bruised heart. But bonding to not one but two alien warriors? If only Andi dares to try. Reader Advisory: This story has graphic sexual language and scenes—no closed bedroom doors (or other rooms) here! Note: this book is a RE-RELEASE of a work previously published by Ellora's Cave (both standalone and as part of their Alien anthology). The Warriors of Phaeton series is now self-published independently by the author, Leora Gonzales.

Dathrow

2016

RE-PUBLISHED by the author, this is Book Three of the Warriors of Phaeton series. Contains characters introduced in Bridal Pact and Bridal Bonds. Can be read as a standalone although reading the series gives more understanding of the characters. Warrior Dathrow has been waiting for a human bride for eons. When his first match falls for one of his warrior brothers, Dathrow’s anxious to find her replacement. Discovering he not only has a match, but one almost identical to his original bride, Dathrow counts himself lucky. Pixie has the perfect life on Earth—until everything falls apart. And her sister Poppy is living in marital bliss with her space husband in a galaxy far far away. Why not join up? In the bridal program and matched with Dathrow, Pixie can’t believe her luck. Tall, gorgeous, and the way he fills out his leathers? Wow. But discovering Dathrow’s original match was Poppy, and worse, finding evidence he’s still in love with her threatens everything.

Finch

2018

Claudia is living every single mom’s dream… well, not really, but she’s the type to see the glass half-full. Working the night shift to make ends meet, Claudia barely gets by with help from her best friend and her steady cleaning job. She can’t complain though. There’s food on the table and diapers on her baby’s butt, so she keeps chugging along. Her job at the Intake Center not only pays her bills, but also feeds her fantasies whenever she catches sight of the gorgeous Phaetons coming down to Earth to collect their brides under the Bridal Pact. Finch knew that he would eventually get a bride…he just didn’t expect that it would start with a kidnapping. Finch spotted Claudia long before she ever laid eyes on him, and he’s not about to let her out of his sight. After watching his friends and fellow warriors come to heel for the human women in their lives, Finch can’t help but wonder what the big deal is with getting a bride. One thing he does know is that he can’t keep the curvy Claudia out of his head, especially when he craves the feeling of her under his battle-hardened body every time he goes to bed. When Finch is given the chance to save Claudia from an unseen threat, he takes charge and hustles her right off planet Earth without asking for her permission or that of the Phaeton council. His actions have consequences, but the big question is: who will pay for them?

Hix

2018

The gal with the worst luck in the world... Maggie never had any intention of getting mixed up with the Bridal Pact, the Phaeton's, or all the crap that came with volunteering for the government's mail-order bride program. She was perfectly content inside her little bubble. She had her handmade jewelry business and her beloved rescue dog, and she was the honorary auntie to the cutest kid in existence. There is no way she was about to rock the boat by getting involved in any Phaeton business. None whatsoever. Unfortunately, the Verge didn't get that memo. Thinking she knows more than she actually does about the recent attack on the Bridal Pact’s Intake Center, they took it upon themselves to tie her up as one of their loose ends. Literally. A glaring testament to her rotten luck. A warrior who only wanted to right his wrongs.... Hix, a newly christened Verge warrior, realized he made a mistake the minute he left his Phaeton brothers behind when he defected. With regrets heavy in his chest, he tries to make the best of a bad situation while struggling with his new identity. Plans change, however, when he’s tricked into participating into the abduction of an innocent human female. Enthralled with the raspy-voiced captive, Hix knows that he will do anything to keep her safe. Working to save not only themselves, but others, Hix and Maggie are unable to deny the chemistry between them. As a firm believer in fate, Hix knows that they are exactly where they are supposed to be...now he must convince his future bride that she belongs with him. Trigger Warning: This book contains the abuse and death of a pet dog. Although I tried to minimize the scene as much possible for my readers, the content may be too much for some. Please be advised.

Paine And Rowe

2020

Signing up for the Phaeton Bridal Pact has been the worst decision of Indigo’s life. Never ending nightmares of what her selfishness almost cost her, replay in her mind on an endless loop. She’s certain the only thing that will set her free is going home, to Earth. Skrammon berserkers, Paine and Rowe had no idea what they were missing. Indulging in pleasure... but never getting attached. Their lives had one purpose. Serve the Phaeton race without question. Until they wanted a wife to call their own. When they finally are gifted with one, nothing can keep them away. Not even the fact that she’s under the protection of a neighboring alien race. Minor detail. Paine and Rowe are nothing like Indigo expected, but everything she needs. She thought returning to Earth was her only choice, but she was wrong. Indigo had two options... and she wanted them. Both.

Axis

2020

As the Phaeton’s master interrogator, Axis was often called upon to handle the most difficult missions. His natural ability to sniff out lies, plus his intense training, had never let him down. Until it did. Questioning his place amongst the brethren he’d failed, the Skrammon warrior has been living on the planet Euphoria in the Pleasure Sector trying to work through his mistakes. Although technically on leave, the Phaeton Council requested one small favor in exchange for the free time he’d been granted. Keep an eye out for anything unusual. Nova Rodriguez is more than a little unusual, and that’s not counting the fact that she’s a human imprisoned in a space brothel. The details on how she ended up in a whorehouse versus her original destination are more than a little murky, but one thing is completely clear: she needs to get the f$#% off this planet before Cruum, the gross alien master with a penchant for torture, sells her off to the highest bidder. With sheer determination, the help of a couple of sex kittens, and a list of rules to live by, Nova comes up with a plan: find a Phaeton—preferably the one she’d seen in the market and can’t stop thinking about—and convince him to help her. Not only does her life depend on it, so do the lives of the other two women Cruum has already sold.

Kaine

2022

Kaine's place on the Phaeton council may have changed his title, but it didn't weaken his warrior instincts. When his human bride is threatened, he doesn't hesitate to take off his robes and go back to his roots...and Phaeton Prime.

I had a rather short area here telling a little about me but then I had more than a few people ask me to expand it so... here goes. LOL. I'm a full time home 'supervisor' which is a nice word for saying I'm a housewife. I'm married happily, I met my dream guy 20 years ago, and we have 4 children. I live in Southern California and I can't function without iced coffee. I believe in romance, I've always been a daydreamer, and I'm a HUGE fan of books, always have been. No, I didn't know that I always wanted to write. I inhaled books as a child. I read entire series (Pippi Longstocking, Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys, Trixie Beldon, The Borrowers, etc) in a matter of days at a time. By the time I was nine years old I had an adult library card where I visited often. I moved on to John Saul, Stephen King, Richard Laymon, Agatha Christie, and then found romance. I was hooked. I wrote poetry in my teens and then moved on to short stories. My first book was started after I read a real bomb of a book that ticked me off with really horrible characters and a plot that was shabby at best and I thought... I could do better. LOL. I wrote my first book which will probably never see the light of day in the early 90's. I wrote a series of a few books from it. I'm a series fan! I kept writing for fun, wrote MANY books and then in 2009 I decided to try to get published. I wrote my first Sci Fi romance and Ral's Woman came to be. I submitted it and with a little tweaking, Ellorascave sent me an acceptance letter. It was kind of a 'Cinderella' experience for me. It's been a terrific ride so far and I'm really happy that I finally had the time to commit to writing full time. It's a dream come true.
