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.

So You Want To Marry A Prince

By Cynthia Sax on January 25, 2022

Recently, I dreamed I was a character on So You Want To Marry A Prince, a Bachelor-type reality show where women vie for the attention of multiple prince/royalty-type men from various countries.

The heroine (my character) is tall, blonde, pretty and…quiet. Her sister signed her up for the show and that sister was so excited about the heroine being selected; the heroine didn’t have the heart to back out.

The heroine doesn’t expect to find love and when she peeks through the curtains, she isn’t attracted to any of the princes she first sees. The men are young and handsome (it IS a dream – grins) but she isn’t drawn to any of them.

Then she sees…him. The prince is sitting on one of the made-for-TV thrones with a resigned look on his handsome face.

And she knows. He is HER prince.

When the contestants enter the room, not every prince stands but he does…even though this is a struggle for him. She would find out later he has a chronic condition similar to MS.

Some of the other contestants gasp and say unkind things. He must have heard them. Yet he raises his chin, his expression so proud and regal, and he says nothing.

The heroine admires his strength, his courage. He is HERS. She knows this in her heart.

The first date card she receives, she chooses him. She finds out his younger brother signed him up for the show. They have a lot in common, have similar dry senses of humor, the same loyalty to family, sense of duty, etc.

Her prince is technically the crown prince but he plans to step aside and allow his brother become the next king. He has decided never to marry and never to have children, has already decided to choose no one on the show.

Our heroine tries to change her prince’s mind but he is so blasted noble and proud. He doesn’t want to ‘inflict’ his condition on anyone else. He tries to dissuade her and goes on dates with other contestants.

The heroine realizes he feels he has little to offer a potential partner. She changes tactics. She confronts him, points out that the show is called So You Want To Marry A Prince, that the primary goal of many contestants is to become a princess, that they aren’t looking for love or ‘normal’ relationships.

SHE is looking for love and doesn’t care about marrying a prince. I think both of them realize this but she gives him a reason to justify what he perceives as a selfish act-to indulge in his caring for her and seek happiness for himself.

Decision day comes. More and more contestants are eliminated until our heroine is sitting by herself. She feels awkward, uncomfortable.

Her prince sees that, makes the great (and highly visible to the cameras) effort to change seats to sit beside her, ensuring she isn’t alone.

He takes her hand.

And she knows she has been chosen. She has found her Prince, love, and a royal happy ever after.

Seizing Power

This cyborg believes he’s in control.

Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council. Other members might debate situations. He makes the ultimate decisions.

When a threat to the Homeland is revealed, he takes command of a fleet and ventures to the edge of cyborg-controlled space to investigate. He finds a rebellion led by a mysterious upstart he calls Cadet.

The plan Power derives is simple—he’ll quickly quash the uprising and teach its leader a lesson the warrior will never forget.

NO ONE challenges his authority.

Eirene Ours might have been called a cadet by Power but she is NOT his subordinate. She is the arrogant E Model’s genetic match.

For much of her mature lifespan, she has desired the male, yearning for his dark-eyed gaze, craving his sure hands, longing for his respect.

That esteem was never granted. And Eirene Ours can no longer wait to earn it. There’s an external threat to their kind, a danger that might destroy them all.

Having lured Power to her home terrain, she now plans to use everything within her means – her fists, her daggers, her ship-destroying missiles – to pound that truth into her stubborn warrior’s thick metal skull.

The future of every cyborg is at stake. She can’t fail them.

Power will believe her. Or he will die.

Seizing Power is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features an epic battle between two equally strong cyborg leaders, plans that go terribly yet passionately wrong, and a love that will shake the entire universe.

Warlord’s Mercy Teaser

By Cynthia Sax on June 24, 2020

Here is a teaser from Warlord’s Mercy, my most recent release.

***

Her height and size brought out his protective side. The universe was a dangerous place for someone so fragile, so exquisite, so beautiful. The daggers secured in her garment’s built-in sheaths weren’t enough to safeguard her.

And she was alone.

He shifted his weight from his right booted foot to his left. The wound in his right thigh throbbed, the pain reminding him of the last time he’d shown a human female mercy.

Berke’s gerel, his enemy’s human female, had stabbed him with a dagger.

The ungrateful male had left her alone in the midst of danger. Tolui had grabbed her, had planned to take her with him before he blew up Berke’s ship,

She had been…unappreciative.

This new female might be unappreciative also, but he couldn’t walk away from her, not until he was certain of her situation.

Chameles looked unfavorably on humans, didn’t appreciate differences as he did. They discarded unmated females and orphaned children, forcing them into isolation, treating them as though they were worthless, a drain on their resources.

He shook his head. Berke and his kind also valued strength, a characteristic the little female didn’t have.

She was tiny and different. The female had likely been abandoned…as he had been. His lips flattened. He would ensure she wasn’t harmed, would offer her a home.

The arrangement would have to be platonic. Although he wanted her…badly, she was too small for his usage. His needs were too dark and twisted for her. He would break her into pieces.

And that would be his greatest transgression in a long lifespan of wrongdoing.

Other Chameles view him as the enemy.

She sees the warrior hero he never believed he could be.

* * *

Tolui is a Warlord in search of a planet to rule. He has been leading his fellow clones in a stealth battle, fighting for both control of the Chamele sector and the right to exist. The brave warriors he commands warrant respect, and they deserve the best.

That best isn’t the barren, dangerous terrain on Chamele 4. When Tolui crashes on that planet’s surface, he’s determined to leave it as soon as possible. The tiny human female rescuing him might be as beautiful and as wild as the land she inhabits, but her flowing words, trusting gaze, and enthralling submission won’t stop him from rejoining the war.

After many solar cycles of living alone, Lea is overjoyed when a tall, scarred, muscular warrior falls from the sky. Her savage stranger is strong and severe, and he makes her feel safe, an emotion she hasn’t experienced in a long, long time.

He also insists they must part. Before they do, she’ll show him the splendor of her home, and she’ll enjoy his big form, collecting passionate moments she can revisit when she’s solitary once more.

Every additional moment Lea and Tolui spend together increases the chance they’ll both die. Lea is being chased by female-hating fiends. Tolui is being hunted by the best bounty hunters in the universe. War will soon arrive on their threshold, and the blood spilled might be their own.
