Throwback Thursday – Dark Fire

By Cynthia Sax on October 8, 2026

Dare, the hero of Dark Fire, is a dragon…of sorts. His species can shift into a still humanoid form that has scales and can breathe smoke and fire. Oh, and he has retractable claws!

This makes Dare a formidable warrior.

But it also means he requires a mate sturdy enough to handle him.

The mate he receives is Faylee, a small delicate-looking human.

Dark Fire Alien Romance

Dark Fire

What the Beast wants, the Beast gets.

Dare’s savage nature has made him an outcast among his kind. The silver-scaled Dracheon warrior can’t control his inner beast. It’s too strong. When his primitive instincts told him his destined mate was on Carinae E, he had no choice. He had to travel to the outlaw planet. There, he hoped to meet a female powerful enough to survive his Drache.

He finds Faylee, a delicate little human.

Faylee is the best thief on the planet. Everyone she encounters mistakes her for a young boy…except for a tall, shiny warrior from off-planet. When she gazes into Dare’s flame-filled eyes, he makes her feel, for the first time, like a desirable female. The fire-breathing male has her yearning for hot kisses, fierce embraces, and a future filled with love. She doesn’t realize mating with him might be the last thing she ever does.

Dare’s beast isn’t the only danger on the planet. An enemy from the past has returned and he’s determined to stop Dare and Faylee…permanently. They’ll need luck and the assistance of every warrior in the Refuge to stay alive.

Dark Fire is a STANDALONE SciFi Romance set in a gritty, dark world.

Throwback Thursday – Defying Death

By Cynthia Sax on October 1, 2026

I think it is extremely fitting that the first story I’m featuring on this site in October, a month I associate with ghosts and spooky things, has a cyborg hero who named himself Death.

(grins)

Death does view himself as a bringer of death. He was manufactured to kill and that is all he believes he can do.

Until he meets a curvaceous human medic. She is intent on healing everyone around her…including Death himself.

Defying Death

He’ll risk it all for one moment of happiness.

Cyborgs don’t show emotion. Death learned that lesson early in his long lifespan. To survive, he hides his fierce passions behind a stoic wall. He calls no warrior friend. He never admits to caring for any being.

Even the human female he’s destined to love.

Tifara is Death’s obsession, his sole opportunity for happiness, to express the all-consuming passion burning brightly inside him. He’ll do anything to obtain the curvaceous medic: defy a direct order, abduct Tifara from her battle station, and wage war on his fellow cyborgs.

To earn her love, he’ll have to risk much, much more.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Strength

By Cynthia Sax on September 24, 2026

He’s green, bald, the biggest male anyone has ever seen, and he enjoys crushing the skulls of his enemies under his massive boots. (He likes the sound that makes.)

He also rescues small vulnerable animals. And he is very gentle and kind and giving with the beings he loves.

Yep, Balvan, the hero of Dark Strength, is a complex being.

Which is good because Elyce, the human heroine, needs a complex being.

Dark Strength Alien Romance

Dark Strength

The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall.

Balvan, the Refuge’s Gatekeeper, is huge, green, and has a reputation for crushing skulls. He’s a modified humanoid, genetically designed to be the ultimate warrior. One of a kind and considered monstrous by many, he never expects to find his mate, the one female meant for him.

Elyce, snatched from her home half a solar cycle ago, has finally escaped her brutal captors. She arrives at the Refuge barely alive. Only a blood transfusion from the largest male she has ever seen will save her life. But it will also bind her to him forever. Staring up, up, up at him, she wonders why she wants to be free. His gentle touch revives yearnings she thought dead. His lips set her skin ablaze. His massive muscles make her feel safe.

That feeling could be an illusion. Elyce’s captors want their slave back and they won’t stop until they have her. To give his mate her freedom, Balvan might be forced to give up everything he has – his role as the Gatekeeper, Elyce’s love, and his life.

Dark Strength is a STANDALONE Alien SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes violent universe.

Throwback Thursday – Crash And Burn

By Cynthia Sax on September 17, 2026

Crash And Burn was more than a three hanky story to write. And readers have told me it is definitely a three hanky story or more to read. It is emotional. It is heartbreaking.

It is the reality of war.

Beings die in wars. All types of beings. Not merely warriors.

Save Crash And Burn for when you need a good cry, my friends.

Crash was manufactured to be one of the best warriors in the universe. The cyborg has spent many human lifespans fighting the enemy. But, unlike his battle-loving brethren, he doesn’t enjoy killing. When he escapes the Humanoid Alliance, he vows to never end another life.

Then he meets Safyre, an infuriating human female, and he considers breaking his vow.

Safyre will do anything to save her friend, the being she loves like a sister. She’ll ravish a huge hunky cyborg, kiss his best friend, and invoke scorching hot desires the male never realized he could feel. Dark soulful eyes, a quick wit, and a tempestuous passion won’t divert her from her mission.

Love, and a planet-destroying weapon, however, might stop her permanently.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Flight

By Cynthia Sax on September 10, 2026

Have you ever wished you could fly away from all your challenges?

Orol, the warrior hero of Dark Flight, can do that. Literally.

Yes, he has wings.

And he looks like a male angel.

But he certainly isn’t one.

(grins)

Dark Flight

His mission. His challenge. His forever.

Orol, the Refuge’s second-in-command, has been given what he believes is a simple mission—escort two human females to the settlement. The winged warrior arrives at the meeting site to find one of the females missing and the other aiming a gun at his head. To rescue the first, he must capture the second. Once he has Rhea in his talons, however, he realizes he never wants to let her go.

Her enemy. Her captor. Her everything.

Rhea doesn’t trust anyone. She certainly doesn’t follow commands issued by a gorgeous flying male with glittering eyes, a beautiful face, and a seductive touch. Orol is dominant, edged with darkness, and determined to find her sister. Rhea will do anything to prevent that, even if it means playing sensual games of submission with her powerful enemy, seducing him into forgetting everything except her.

Throwback Thursday – Breathing Vapor

By Cynthia Sax on September 3, 2026

Breathing Vapor is a true enemies-to-lovers romance.

Vapor, the assassin cyborg hero, has Mira, the human heroine, as his next self-assigned target.

He believes Mira, his genetic match, is planning to harm him and his cyborg brethren.

Mira, however, has other plans for this sexy cyborg.

(grins)

Breathing Vapor

Vapor is the most advanced cyborg the Humanoid Alliance has ever developed. He’s a finely honed weapon, a warrior without parallel, half man and half machine. No lock can contain him. No being can stop him. Whatever he wants, he takes.

He wants Mira Breazeal, the Designer’s daughter.

She’s his one temptation, his sexy target. Vapor shouldn’t crave her caresses, steal her kisses, make her scream with ecstasy. The cyborgs want her dead and they would question his loyalty if he didn’t kill her. The humans would shoot him on sight if he dared to touch her.

Their love is forbidden. Their desire could be lethal. One human and one cyborg will risk everything for a moment of passion.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Thoughts

By Cynthia Sax on August 27, 2026

Kralj, the hero of Dark Thoughts, first appeared in another story (Chasing Mayhem), as a very minor character.

He captured my attention and my heart and I knew I had to write his story.

He’s a self-professed monster. Created as a weapon in a laboratory, his creators almost immediately lost control of him and he was able to easily free himself and others. That’s how powerful Kralj is.

And how dangerous.

Dita looks human. But she will be the first being to admit she’s a monster also.

She recognizes who…what Kralj is. She knows provoking him will likely end in her death.

That doesn’t stop her.

(grins)

Can love redeem a monster?

The Refuge is home to some of the most violent beings in the universe. Kralj, its leader, reigns over the remote outpost with terrifying ease, ruthlessly squashing any rumors of rebellion, killing anyone who breaks his rules. Primitive, deadly, powerful, he’s a monster, scarred both on his face and his soul. He has never met a being he couldn’t control.

Until he meets her.

Dita has one mission—to kill the three targets claiming sanctuary within the Refuge. Or so she claims. For the first time in his long lifespan, Kralj isn’t certain of another being’s intentions. The tiny assassin is immune to his powers, her thoughts unreadable. He can’t predict her movements, can’t control her, can’t stop wanting her.

Dita is rare, as unique as he is, and, to keep the residents of the Refuge safe, Kralj will have to kill her. But first, he’ll touch her, taste her, show her how passionate the beast inside him can be.

Dark Thoughts is a STAND-ALONE SciFi Romance.
The hero might be tall, dark, and scarred but don’t be fooled by his appearance.
He’s truly a monster.
This story is not for readers with delicate sensibilities.

Throwback Thursday – Releasing Rage

By Cynthia Sax on August 20, 2026

I was a cyborg romance reader LONG before I was a cyborg romance writer. The reason I wrote Releasing Rage, my first published cyborg romance, is two of my long time favorite cyborg romance writers were taking a break from cyborg romance.

I wrote Releasing Rage for myself.

I liked it so much I thought other cyborg romance readers might enjoy this dark twist on cyborg romance.

And hundreds of thousands of you have.

(smiles)

Half Man. Half Machine. All Hers.

Rage, the Humanoid Alliance’s most primitive cyborg, has two goals—kill all of the humans on his battle station and escape to the Homeland. The warrior has seen the darkness in others and in himself. He believes that’s all he’s been programmed to experience.
Until he meets Joan.

Joan, the battle station’s first female engineer, has one goal—survive long enough to help the big sexy cyborg plotting to kill her. Rage might not trust her but he wants her. She sees the passion in his eyes, the caring in his battle-worn hands, the gruff emotion in his voice.

When Joan survives the unthinkable, Rage’s priorities are tested. Is there enough room in this cyborg’s heart for both love and revenge?

Throwback Thursday – Claiming Cure

By Cynthia Sax on August 13, 2026

Claiming Cure is the final story in the cyborg continuum…for now.

I definitely won’t be releasing any new stories in it this year. I don’t know about the future. But I hope to, some day, come back to it.

Because I love the cyborgs. I love their genetic matches. And I hope you love them also.

(smiles)

Claiming Cure

A proud cyborg medic meets his human match.

***

Cyra has tasks to complete before she dies.

There are patients to heal, a dangerous mission to undertake, and a world to save. She doesn’t have time to entertain uninvited guests.

Especially one coldhearted cyborg medic who thinks he’s better than her.

The male might be breathtakingly handsome. His sternly set lips might be extremely kissable. And his touch might draw out a passion she didn’t think she was capable of feeling.

But he’s also a distraction, one that might doom millions of innocent beings to a painful, horrible death.

Cure isn’t emotionless. He feels…greatly. Listening to that malfunction has caused other beings pain and suffering in the past.

He refuses to allow his desires to cloud his judgment now.

His resolve is tested when he’s forced to associate with the most provoking, alluring medic in the universe.

Cyra is his genetic match, the one being in the universe he is fated to protect, touch, claim. She’s clever and beautiful, and the need to hold her almost downs his systems.

But now is not the time to indulge his great wanting.

Cure has an assignment to complete.

If he fails to accomplish his goals, everyone he cares for, including his human female, will die.

***

Claiming Cure is a standalone Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features two skilled medics determined to ignore the toe-curling attraction between them, a perilous impossible mission, and foes seeking to ensure they never heal another being ever again.
