THE NAGA EXILE’S FROZEN MATE (SERPENTS OF SERANT BOOK 10) by Robin O’Connor

Felicia – They said deep space was lonely. They never warned me it could ache. After years in stasis, I wake to a dying ship, a broken world, and a man—or not quite a man—watching me like I’m oxygen after a lifetime of drowning. Levant’s voice slides through me like heat in the cold, his eyes promise sin, and when his tail brushes my skin, I forget how to breathe. He calls me his. Says the bond between us is written in the stars. I should fight him, focus on fixing my ship before it tears Serant apart. But every time he touches me, I want to shatter. The wind howls beyond the hull, but the real storm is the one he’s stirring beneath my skin. Levant – I was sent to the pole as punishment. Alone. Exiled. Then I found her. Human. Fire-willed. Fragile in a way that makes my pulse burn. When I found her sleeping in the ice, the bond struck like lightning through my veins. My exile doesn’t matter now. Only her. The Council watches. The ice moans with the waking Revenants below. Her ship is unraveling, and the planet trembles with it. To protect her, I must bind her to me. To save her world, I may have to sacrifice my own. The longer I’m near her, the more I know, I’d let the universe fall if it meant keeping her in my arms.       AmazonKU

THE CRIME LORD’S PROPERTY: A VAHIRI PRIME DARK SCIFI MAFIA ROMANCE by Charmaine Ross

I traded myself to save my brother. One life for another. Simple math. The male who owns my contract is anything but simple. Drazex Draven is seven feet of charcoal skin, silver eyes, and barely contained violence. Chief enforcer of the most dangerous crime family on Vahiri Prime. The male they send when an example needs to be made. He could crush me without effort. Sell me without consequence. Use me without remorse. Instead, he brings me food when I forget to eat. Gives me access to parts of his compound no property should ever see. Watches me with a hunger he refuses to act on as though wanting me is a war he’s losing, and winning scares him more. When his enforcers start dying, I’m the only one with the skills to uncover why. The investigation drags us closer. Every stolen glance. Every accidental touch. Every night the space between us shrinks. He calls me property. A debt with a pulse. He says this is business. His body tells a different story. But someone inside House Draven is killing from the shadows, and the conspiracy climbs higher than either of us expected. If I’m right about who’s behind it, the truth won’t set us free. It could bring down House Draven entirely. And me with it.      AmazonKU

STITCHED (BLOOD AND STARDUST) by Y D La Mar

I devoted my life to Project Oryx. As a geneticist, I told myself it was about discovery, about pushing the boundaries of what life could become. I never expected my greatest creation to change me in return. What began as an obsession blurred into something far more dangerous and profound—an attachment I couldn’t explain away with logic, an unconventional love that rewrote everything I thought I knew. When militaries set their sights on Oryx as the ultimate weapon and intergalactic coalitions hunted us to steal what I’d created, we became fugitives overnight. Bounties followed us from system to system, and every encounter reminded me that the universe measures worth in power and conquest. Yet in the midst of pursuit and fear, we found something rarer than victory. We found trust. We found family. And as the walls closed in, I realized we weren’t just fighting to survive—we were fighting for our right to remain human, and for a love strong enough to change the course of everything. A slow-burn sci-fi space opera inspired by Frankenstein and Flowers for Algernon, dusted with a glimmer of The Wizard of Oz—where the Monster isn’t destroyed, loves, and finally finds home.      AmazonKU

HEART OF THE DEEP: AN ALIEN ROMANCE SHORT by Adrian Blue

Shannon Cooper has spent three years falling in love with a world she’s never seen — a planet of endless ocean, bioluminescent cities, and a king who has turned away every human diplomat who dared to meet his gaze. She will be the eighth. As a xenolinguist, Shannon knows the Thalassian negotiation protocols better than anyone. She knows the sacred pools are designed to make lies impossible. She knows that trust must be earned through touch — skin against tentacle, mind pressed open to mind. She knows exactly what she’s agreeing to. What she doesn’t know is Kael’thar. Scarred by centuries of betrayal, the king of Thalassia has learned to read humans one way: with cold efficiency, searching for the disgust or greed hiding beneath every polished smile. But when he reaches into Shannon’s mind and finds neither, something long-fortified begins, for the first time, to crack. The negotiations demand they go deeper — into the water, into vulnerability, into a closeness that has no name in either of their languages. But the greatest depths between them have nothing to do with the ocean floor. They have everything to do with daring to be known.     AmazonKU

I’m stranded on a deadly alien planet called Xren. Dinosaur-like monsters prowl the jungle around me, and the flying saucer that got me here will never fly again. Well, it’s not like I needed more reasons for my anxiety. One night I slip out for air—only to be snatched from the beach by Crat’ax, a towering, hyper-intense caveman alien who believes the ocean has gifted me to him, making me his to protect and claim. He takes me to his stilted ocean village of striped, virgin cavemen who seem to think that I am there to destroy them. Still, every glance from Crat’ax sparks heat I can’t ignore—his massive hands, the way his loincloth moves, how his purple stripes seem to light up when he looks at me. He makes me forget my worries, and that is both dangerous and addictive. I fight the pull, insisting I’m no one’s gift and no one’s mate. I’m just a captive plotting my escape, and trying to get away from a chilling presence I sense at the edge of the village, but which nobody wants to talk about. But as Crat’ax and I fight jungle beasts, defy suspicious tribesmen, and try to resist the fated bond we both feel, the line between captive and cherished blurs. I tell myself I’ll outwit him, outlast him, run when the time’s right… until the moment he finally touches me like I’m something sacred, chasing the old darkness out of my mind. But I can’t stay. Because that secret right outside the village is ancient, and angry, and has been watching me since the moment I arrived. And somehow it knows exactly who I am.     AmazonKU

POSSESSED BY THE ALIEN (iMANIFEST BOOK NINE) by Jessie Knight

Anna – The moment I step onto university grounds, I feel the hostility. I fight for every inch of space I occupy. Running is the only place I feel powerful. Until the storm rips that away from me. One second I’m sprinting along the cliffs. The next, the wind tears me off the edge. I should have died. Instead, I wake on my cottage sofa. Nearly naked. My clothes folded with careful precision in the bathroom. No memory of how I survived. There’s a bruise on my thigh shaped like a massive hand. A scent in the air that doesn’t belong to me. And on my doorstep, a rare flower that doesn’t grow anywhere near these cliffs. Someone caught me. Someone carried me home. Someone undressed me. The dreams start after that. Not dreams of a man. Dreams of something watching me from the dark. When I’m alone, I feel it. A presence. Close. Breathing when I breathe. I tell myself I’m imagining it. But I lock my doors now. Aryx – Interfering with humans is forbidden. Watching her isn’t. I’ve been observing her for weeks. Cataloging her habits. Measuring her pulse from the sky. Defiant. Alive. Reckless enough to run into a storm. When the wind drags her over the edge, I don’t hesitate. I break protocol. I break law. I break the barrier between our worlds. I catch her before her body shatters on the rocks. She fits against me like something designed to. I should have left her there after I erased her memory. I didn’t. I held her longer than necessary. Memorized the weight of her. The sound of her breathing. Now I watch her constantly. Other men look at her. They don’t know how close they are to crossing a line they can’t see. She thinks she’s being followed. She’s right. And soon, watching won’t be enough. I will step into her world. In human form. Not to observe. To claim. The question isn’t whether she will learn what I am. It’s whether she will forgive me for what I’ve already done.   AmazonKU

Before I can help her, she’s dragged away by the Protectorate… by Fletcher. A Siphon. The Republic’s most ruthless enforcer. The man who’s always watched me like I’m something to be controlled or culled. What he doesn’t know is that the woman left something behind. Old-world technology. Impossible. And proof that Eden has been lying to us all. As I dig deeper, my gift begins to show me what the Republic never wanted me to see. The more I uncover, the more dangerous my existence becomes. Because Eden doesn’t protect its people. It cages them.        AmazonKU

TRIAL BY FIRE (LEGENDARY BOOK THREE) by Christine Pope

Some guardians are born. Some are forged in fire. Sidney Lowell has accepted her role as the guardian of Silver Hollow, but she’s far from prepared when an electromagnetic pulse rips through the town at dawn, plunging everything into darkness. The distress signal she senses through her inherited abilities isn’t just any creature dying in the forest — it’s a phoenix, and its corruption could collapse the dimensional portal forever, trapping her mother and grandmother on the other side. Ben Sanders came to Silver Hollow as a cryptozoologist chasing legends. Now he’s the most important person in Sidney’s life, his bioelectric field amplifying her powers in ways neither of them fully understands. When his equipment registers readings consistent with a solar flare — but localized to a two-mile radius — they both know this is no natural phenomenon. What they discover in the forest clearing is worse than either imagined: the phoenix’s fire is tainted with shadows, its natural death-and-rebirth cycle sabotaged by an artificial electromagnetic signal. And the government agency responsible has been watching Sidney all along, engineering her relationship with Ben to weaponize her abilities. As the phoenix’s corruption spreads past the point of no return, Sidney faces an impossible situation — she must merge her consciousness completely with the dying creature to cleanse the fire, risking the loss of her own humanity in the process. With DAPI closing in and the portal network on the verge of cascade failure, Sidney must decide how much of herself she’s willing to sacrifice. Because saving the phoenix might destroy the artificial portal and reunite her family…or it might cost Sidney everything she is, leaving behind only fire and ash.

Instead, my stepfather tosses me out into the freezing cold, left to face the elements before my first shift, and leaves me there to die. My polar bear refuses to give up, pushing my shift early and saving my life. He keeps me alive. Keeps me fighting. Helps me find safety in the embrace of a small wolf pack. While the den forgets me, I prepare. I study business management, train in mixed martial arts, and learn to survive among humans. I wait for the right time to return and take back what’s mine. When I hear about a human scientist coming north to tag and track polar bears and examine why we settled so far away from most of our kind, my timeline shifts. It doesn’t matter if I’m ready or not, my den doesn’t understand how dangerous humans can be. Despite my past, protecting them is my duty… even if they never wanted me. I don’t expect the scientist to be a hot nerd with a heart filled with kindness and a true desire to help wildlife. And I certainly don’t expect my bear to scent him as mine. Now I have to find a way to save my kind without losing the one person fate put on this planet just for me.      AmazonKU
