Interview With Chandra Ryan
I sat down (virtually) with Chandra Ryan for a short interview. Chandra Ryan writes hot erotic romances and her latest release is Ulterior Motives, a sexy SciFi Romance.
Cynthia Sax: What makes Jasper sexy?
Chandra Ryan: Jasper is sexy because he’s an ordinary guy who is dropped into an extraordinary situation that shapes him into a hero. He doesn’t start out as an alpha. He’s just a lawyer who wants to help people. That’s his passion. But when helping Kat gets hard, and even a little dangerous, he stands his ground to protect the woman he loves. Does it get sexier than that?
Cynthia Sax: Where does Ulterior Motives start?
Chandra Ryan: Life as a rancher on a settler planet is hard and lonely for my heroine, Kat. So, resourceful woman that she is, she placed an ad for a husband. She doesn’t expect to fall in love with or feel passion toward the man who responded to the ad. But she does want a partner.
My story starts at the space port where she meets her future husband for the first time. Or, at least, the man she believes is going to be her future husband. I picked that moment because that’s where it all starts for them. We get to see their first impressions and also witness how those assumptions frame their relationship. She immediately thinks he’s too soft for the harsh life of a remote planet and he only sees her as a tough, practical businesswoman. As they get to know each other, though, they discover how wrong those initial impressions were.
Cynthia Sax: Where is Ulterior Motives set?
Chandra Ryan: Ulterior Motives is set on a remote settler planet some time in the distant future. Which is exciting and sexy because it’s like the wild west only with space travel and modern technology. You get to have the best of both worlds. The rough and gritty dangers of the past but with good hygiene and coffee on demand.
Cynthia Sax: Does anyone in Ulterior Motives have a secret?
Chandra Ryan: Oh, yes. Jasper has a secret. Actually, he has more than one. It starts with him being there under false pretenses. Kat thinks he’s there to marry her but he’s actually there to investigate a claim against her land. His second secret is revealed when you find out his father is… Oh, wait, maybe I should let you discover that one on your own.
Thank you, Chandra Ryan, for joining us today!

*****************************************************************************
Universal Defiance, Book One
On a rural settler planet, Kat must resort to putting out an ad to find a husband. She doesn’t expect to find love—that’s a dream in these parts—just a partner to help work her ranch. Then the devastatingly handsome Jasper answers her ad and turns her on in ways she never dreamed possible. Too bad he’s not who he says he is.
Jasper doesn’t know what he’s getting into when he ventures undercover to investigate a legal claim against Kat’s ranch. But after a toe-curling night under her roof and in her bed, he’s willing to do anything to stay there. He can’t say no to the tough-as-nails businesswoman who makes his body come alive.
When people start getting hurt, though, both Kat and Jasper have to decide how valuable one piece of land is. And the ranch that brought them together might be the very thing standing between them.

When Murad, a powerful and deadly Warlord, arrives to repair Gale’s beloved ship, she doesn’t like it one bit. She sees the danger lurking behind his wide, sexy smile and the temptation in his coarse touch. He stands too close. He smells too good. He muddles her mind with erotic thoughts no bounty hunter should ever entertain.
Murad is known for being lighthearted…until he meets Gale. He’s deadly serious about seducing his curvaceous bounty hunter. With one blast of her stun gun, she captures his attention, and starts his lust burning. To claim Gale for his mate, Murad will brave his cautious female’s itchy trigger finger, his overbearing older brother and Gale’s sense of duty.

Cover Reveal For Warlord Reunited!
I received the cover for Warlord Reunited!
Warlord Reunited is the romance between Berke, the eldest Warlord, and Elle (or Ellie as he calls her), the bounty hunter boss lady (grins). Solar cycles ago, they bonded. Then Berke had a I-must-protect-my-gerel-at-all-costs macho meltdown and they parted. (shakes head) You know Berke. He doesn’t understand women… at all.
I don’t yet have a release date for Warlord Reunited. We’re still completing edits.

talking about billionaire tiger shifters, curvaceous rebel hackers and body-splitting aliens.
Remember to enter the contest (top left hand corner)! The odds of winning four Changeling stories are VERY good.
By Cynthia Sax
Now Available From Changeling Press
Billionaire tiger shifter Nikhil Baagh has learned to subdue his savage nature. He no longer chases enemies through the city streets, maintaining justice with his teeth and claws. The exotic CEO follows human laws now, laying a sophisticated trap for the curvaceous hacker daring to illegally access his technological empire.
Nikhil then takes one sniff of Violet’s delectable scent and all of his most animalistic instincts stir. The plus-sized rebel isn’t merely his prey. She’s his mate, and he hunts her — tracking Violet through the social jungle, intent on claiming her permanently.
When an uptight tiger shifter meets a no-rules hacker, chaos reigns, empires fall, and old enemies resurface. Can Nikhil embrace his wild side and risk everything for love?

Jayla, the ship’s botanist, would never ask Reisen to turn his back on duty, not even to save her life. During an attack on her laboratory, all she asks of the impressively large male is that he take care of her beloved plants should she die… and that he remember the one stolen kiss they shared in a darkened alcove.
Reisen will never forget that kiss. Jayla is his mate, the sole being he is meant to spend his life with, and if she dies, his dreams will die with her. But he is honor-bound to protect his captain, and a Dracheon warrior never breaks his vows.

Skies On Fire Releases
Skies On Fire releases today! This is the third installment in the fabulous Operation Bliss series (the first two installments were written by the wonderful Ashlynn Monroe ).
The hero in Skies On Fire is dragon like but he isn’t a dragon shifter. He doesn’t fully shift. However, I do share some of fun ‘science’ behind dragon shifters.
Lieutenant Reisen, a grim Dracheon warrior, would die for honor and duty. He has sworn to protect the captain of the Bliss. When an alien attacks the ship, seeking to harm the captain, Reisen maintains his post by her side, ready to defend her with his life.

Trapped on a plant-dominated planet, Mirian hasn’t seen another humanoid in five years. She has never seen humanoids resembling Furu and Xan, a beautiful aristocrat and his beastly warrior lover. Watching their shared passion makes her burn with desire and ache for companionship.
Mirian wants to experience the ecstasy of their touch. She eagerly trades the only thing she owns—her body—for what she believes to be a breathtakingly ardent casual affair.
Furu and Xan don’t engage in casual affairs. They want Mirian permanently as their breeder and they’ll break every rule, battling their unnatural female, a male-eating plant and the entire Balazoid army to claim her.
