Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale. And it is one of my favorite tropes.
In Provoking Odium, Briella, the human heroine, is the beast. She’s called that for a number of reasons. She’s a fearless fighter, flying into dangerous situations. And she’s scarred. Because navigating dangerous situations…and life leaves marks on our faces, our bodies.
Unless you’re a cyborg.
Odium, the cyborg hero, was designed to be handsome and to remain handsome. Briella’s scars enchant him. They are a physical representation of her warrior soul. He LOVES that.
He just has to convince his doubting human that is his truth.

Provoking Odium
A Beautiful Cyborg
While accompanying his leader on a mission, Odium, an E Model cyborg, hears a distress call over the communication lines. The voice on that message makes his circuits surge with energy and all his systems light up. He has to respond to the mysterious female, would risk his lifespan and the lifespans of everyone on board their ship to protect her.
A Human Female Others Call Beast
Briella gained her nickname due to her flying abilities, her fearlessness, and her scarred countenance. Her verbal-only relationship with the sexy cyborg who answers her distress call is a steamy yet short-lived fantasy. His kind is physically perfect, and she is…not. He will uncover that truth when…if they survive the attack upon her freighter.
Provoking Odium is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a human female intent on remaining mysterious, a cyborg warrior determined to uncover her identity, and an enemy seeking to destroy them both before they have the opportunity to meet.
