Tara Being abducted and sold into slavery with aliens wasn’t as farfetched as it might seem at first glance. With Earth’s ozone layer depleted a solar flare made the surface of the planet uninhabitable for the missions that survived the tragic event. The newly formed Earth Gov had welcomed the alien traders with open arms.

With Earth’s ozone layer depleted a solar flare made the surface of the planet uninhabitable for the missions that survived the tragic event. The newly formed Earth Gov had welcomed the alien traders with open arms. The thing that Tara couldn’t get over was being abducted by her own kind. The first push into deep space by a small group of former soldiers was launched with the intent to sell over a hundred abductees to any alien with enough credits for the purchase. Tara despised Connor and his filthy space pirates. There were around fifteen of them and her grand plan to get the women to riot then send out a distress call, got her a swift boot the face. Lucky for her the foolish pirates couldn’t resist attacking vulnerable ships. After one of many attacks a Maruvian vessel caught up with them and things turned ugly. Arac Being Queen Kabelda’s breeder for two solar cycles had taught him one thing. Females were not to be trusted. They lured you in with sweet promises of tenderness then turn on a drone with terrifying speed. He’d suffered much under Kabelda’s claw and had no intention of allowing another queen to capture his heart. He’d done his service and no one could fault him for it. After being starved, beaten, deprived of seeing his young and humiliated in every way possible, he just wanted peace and solitude with his young. Once he arrived on the new Maruvian home world, Queen Carolyn had promised him that he would be left alone. His fury knew no bounds when she sent her sentinel to fetch him and his young. Doing her bidding was not part of the arrangement, nor was meeting a beautifully lush queen who made him long for the romance he’d sworn never to embrace. She’s strong, independent, funny and so very delightful to be around. Just as he is becoming attached to her, a dark figure from her past comes to lay claim to her. With her sentinel laid slain on the tarmac, he is the only protector she had left. Can he step up and be the male she needs him to be? less

Ember Being trapped on a dying Earth was quickly becoming a daily fight to stay alive. Ember and her brother Dark are losing the battle and her big brother is willing to give his life to give her a chance to survive. After researching all the aliens, he selects the insectoids. They are the only ones who don’t buy or trade for brides. They simply accept all who wish to come. Dark senses she might not be considered property on the new Maruvian home world... moreEmber Being trapped on a dying Earth was quickly becoming a daily fight to stay alive.

They are the only ones who don’t buy or trade for brides. They simply accept all who wish to come. Dark senses she might not be considered property on the new Maruvian home world. After his sacrifice, Ember feels compelled to do as she’s told to get along. Unfortunately, she’s never been the docile type. Feeling like a she’s been forged in crucible of pain and suffering, Ember hopes to finally get some peace on her new home world. When an insectoid training ship attacks their vessel, it looks like peace might not be in the cards after all. Haroc and Valic These two Maruvian warriors compose an elite fighting unit. Their assignment is to retrieve a large group of human queens from Earth. They are shocked to find the humans in the midst of conflict over the bride trade. The protestors shoot at some queens who try to escape and that is not acceptable to this team. Daring death, they rush out to protect one on the battle ground. Arriving a moment too late, her brother is shot shielding her with his own body. With his dying breath, he asks that they take her to their home world and keep her safe. Shocked at being gifted with a queen, the fly away with her before the other can harm her. Protecting their new queen becomes exponentially more difficult when their vessel is attacked expectantly. When it comes down to making the ultimate sacrifice, they’re willing. But what will losing her only living relative and new mates, all in the span of a few days, do the beautiful redhead? less

Venice Having been on her own from an early age, Venice knew quite a bit about blending in and going unnoticed. Being homeless on a post-apocalyptic Earth was a difficult and dangerous way to live. She’s survived by flying under the radar, scoping out her surroundings and being careful who she trusted. Her best chance at a better life was relocating to the Maruvian home world... moreVenice Having been on her own from an early age, Venice knew quite a bit about blending in and going unnoticed. Being homeless on a post-apocalyptic Earth was a difficult and dangerous way to live. She’s survived by flying under the radar, scoping out her surroundings and being careful who she trusted. Her best chance at a better life was relocating to the Maruvian home world. The insectoid warriors were hot, respectful to females and offering an all-expense paid ride aboard their battle cruiser. Hitching a ride seemed like a no-brainer. Her talent for spinning an interesting story gained her quick popularity among the drones aboard the Maruvian vessel. Unfortunately, the only drone who really piqued her interest seemed too emotionally scarred to pursue a relationship. Haden After being controlled and abused by their vicious former queen, Haden no longer trusted his instincts and abilities as a warrior. Their former queen fitted him with a transponder that robbed him of his own free will. He became a pawn in her quest to defeat the human queens who had freed him and his brethren. Forcing him to kill fellow warriors he thought of as brothers left him feeling helpless and dispirited. Haden had problems even a bright, beautiful storyteller could not fix. This queen was not like all the rest. Her short spikey hair and large blue eyes warmed his soul. With her his awkwardness evaporated and he felt like a male falling in love. A tragic accident leaves him more convinced than ever that those he around him are destined for destruction. However, when the human queens begin to fall sick with a virus that causes them to act like the evil queens of old, can he save them and in doing so save himself? less
