The Cyborg’s Secret Baby And Wartime Single Moms
The Cyborg’s Secret Baby is a nod to all of those brides and wives during World War I and II and other early wars who sent their men off to war, unaware they’d soon have new additions to their families.
I think of their stories as being the original secret baby romances. There wasn’t a big misunderstanding. There was a man and a woman separated by battle, by distance and lack of effective communication. Letters got lost or were extremely delayed. Maybe the woman didn’t want to distract or worry her love while he was fighting so she kept the news to herself.
She wasn’t alone. People banded together to help during those times of crisis. But she was temporarily (and perhaps permanently) a single mother. Their new baby was HER responsibility. She was raising the child.
And, like Zebrina, the heroine in The Cyborg’s Secret Baby, she didn’t know when or if the man she loved would return. She had to be strong for their baby while she worried and missed him.
THAT is a kick a$$ heroine deserving of love.

The Cyborg’s Secret Baby
A fierce cyborg warrior and his curvy human female share a no-longer-so-little secret.
Stealth, a K Model cyborg, knows his passion for Zebrina, the commander’s human daughter, is forbidden, yet he can’t resist the curvy female. He craves her touch, cherishes her sounds of pleasure, would do anything to keep her safe.
When he’s faced with the choice of protecting his fragile human or living to see the next sunrise, he chooses her, always her, sending Zebrina halfway across the universe to safety. He doesn’t realize their stolen moments had consequences neither of them believed possible.
After hearing her warrior died in battle, Zebrina focuses on the last gift he gave her. Doing what is right for their child is her sole priority. She will put their son’s happiness first, even if that means choosing another male over the love of her life.
The Cyborg’s Secret Baby is a STAND-ALONE story loosely connected to the Cyborg Sizzle series.
It is also a Second Chance Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, often-violent universe.

Why I Wrote The Cyborg’s Secret Baby Now
I’ve read many Secret Baby Romances. Often the stories start AFTER the Secret Baby is born, usually when the child is a toddler. Then we slowly find out about the couple’s relationship prior to the birth.
With The Cyborg’s Secret Baby, I felt it important to start with Stealth and Zebrina’s prior relationship. So much happens and it is so emotional. I felt I would be cheating you if I didn’t show those scenes right away.
This means Chapter One of The Cyborg’s Secret Baby is set BEFORE the cyborgs mass rebel. In the series timeline, that would place it before Hers To Command, Story 8.
Why then did I write it now and not many stories ago?
Because the second half of the story occurs AFTER Taking Vengeance, the last story released in the series. Vengeance and Astrid make an appearance in The Cyborg’s Secret Baby. They are important for the plot.
It sounds complicated but it works! I promise you!
The Cyborg’s Secret Baby could only be written now, in this place in the series. (The split timeline is one of the reasons I’ve written it outside the core series.)

The Cyborg’s Secret Baby And A Cyborg Shortage
The Cyborg’s Secret Baby (releasing in September) is designed to be read on its own. You don’t have to read any of the previous cyborg stories to enjoy it. Any information you need to know is contained in the story.
However, if you HAVE read the other cyborg stories, you’ll gleam additional insights about the world. You’ll have inside information about why some points are important.
You’ll also better understand why Tau Ceti is key to our hero’s dire situation in Chapter One.
The story starts before the cyborgs mass rebel. Stealth, our hero, and his cyborg brethren, are fighting for the Humanoid Alliance. They’re in a battle they can’t win.
The reason they can’t win it is they will soon be outnumbered. Why are they outnumbered?
Because the Humanoid Alliance blew up Tau Ceti.
Tau Ceti was the site of the cyborg manufacturing facility. Blowing up the planet destroyed the facility. This means no new cyborgs can be created until that facility is replaced.
This causes a shortage. Cyborgs who are killed in battle or decommissioned because they were ‘malfunctioning’ or managed to escape aren’t being replaced.
Cyborgs are difficult to kill and very few of them can escape without drawing the Humanoid Alliance’s attention. The lack of replacement cyborgs wouldn’t be a huge issue except blowing up Tau Ceti caused another key thing to happen.
Other species have joined the war against the Humanoid Alliance.
The Humanoid Alliance blew up a rare life-supporting planet, killed every being on the surface. Species who looked the other way during the previous atrocities could no longer ignore their activities. They are adding their fighting forces, their military resources to the Rebel’s war efforts.
The Rebel forces are expanding while the Humanoid Alliance cyborg forces are dwindling. The disparity in numbers is growing larger with every passing planet rotation.
Our cyborg hero and his friends are doomed and they know it.

The Cyborg’s Secret Baby And Reading Order
I’m received some questions about where in the cyborg series The Cyborg’s Secret Baby (releasing September 25th) belongs. DOES it belong in the cyborg series?
The Cyborg’s Secret Baby is written very much as a standalone. There’s only one recurring couple (Vengeance and Astrid). You don’t need to know about that couple to enjoy the story. Anything that has happened in the series that you need to know for The Cyborg’s Secret Baby is explained. I assume this will be the first story some folks will read.
But it belongs in the cyborg world and it could have been part of the series. The reason I wrote this outside the series is, being a secret baby romance, part of the story happens before the mass cyborg rebellion and part of the story happens after the mass cyborg rebellion.
If you’re already a cyborg series reader, I recommend reading it after Taking Vengeance (i.e. in the order the stories are released). If you’re brand new to the series, you can read it first with no difficulties.

Taking Vengeance – A Sci-Fi Romance Best Bet
Woot! Taking Vengeance was named a Sci-Fi Romance Best Best at Love In Panels!
Here’s a snippet…
“I loved the way these two total enemies began to respect each other and moved from there to falling in love. Each had to abandon strongly held beliefs about the other, and forgive past atrocities. Vengeance makes the mistakes you’d expect from a hard headed Model C but Astrid is a pretty cool customer and figures out how to bring him along to the truth of what they share. She definitely holds her own.”

Taking Vengeance
The only force stronger than their hate is their love.
Vengeance hates all humans. They killed every being he ever cared about. When the huge C Model cyborg is told he’s genetically compatible with the enemy, he makes it his mission to capture the female and use her to expel all humans from his home planet. That should be disappointingly easy. She’s a weak, fragile human.
Then she blows up his ship, blasting to bits his preconceived notions about the enemy.
Astrid, aka the Buoir Berserker, hates all cyborgs. They killed her entire clan, including her baby sister. The warrior female has vowed to hunt down and destroy the enemy. When a savage cyborg arrogantly puts his hard, sexy body within her reach, she does the only thing a female can do—she peppers his muscular physique with projectiles.
The more passionately they fight, the stronger their attraction becomes. Neither of them will relent on their missions, yet they can’t keep their hands off each other. Their battle will either end in love to last an eternity or in death.
Taking Vengeance is Book 12 in the Cyborg Sizzle series and is a STAND-ALONE story.
It is also an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, often violent universe.

Breathing Vapor – Mother’s Day Snippet
Mother’s Day in North America is on Sunday. I thought we’d celebrate this week by looking back at some of the Mother-themed moments in my stories.
Today’s excerpt is from Breathing Vapor and is a nod to all of the wonderful adopted Moms in Romanceland.
“Some of the cyborgs will be freed from planets besieged by war.” Vapor’s voice grew gruff with emotion. “There could be humanoid offspring on these planets. They might not have parents to care for them.”
Mira lifted her head. “That’s possible.”
What was he suggesting? It couldn’t be what she thought, hoped, dreamed. Her heart beat faster. They hadn’t discussed offspring since they left Tau Ceti. She’d accepted that she might never be a mother, had concentrated on the two of them, on helping all cyborgs escape.
Vapor set her feet on the floor. He slipped his right hand into one of his holsters, scooped out some cloth, and pressed it into her palms.
Mira smoothed the fabric and her breath hitched. It was a doll, constructed of scrap material, formed with binding. The face was crudely drawn, the eyes lopsided, the smile uneven.
Her rough tough warrior had crafted this toy. He was talking about offspring. Hope unfurled in Mira’s chest.
“What is this?” She had to be certain she wasn’t misunderstanding his meaning.
“It’s an Ulu.” Vapor shifted his weight from his right foot to his left. He looked down at the doll, not meeting her gaze. “We’ll give it to the offspring.”
“To the offspring?”
“To our offspring.” He touched the doll’s garment. His fingers shook. Her normally confident cyborg was nervous. That’s how much this conversation meant to him.

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.

Seeking Vector
A cyborg with a secret… A female seeking the truth…
Vector, the C Model captain of the Freedom, is a cyborg many warriors wish to emulate. He fights fiercely, leads with honor, has earned the respect and loyalty of his crew. But no being, not even a cyborg, is perfect. Since arriving at the Homeland, Vector has been hiding a dark truth about his past. If his secret is exposed, he could lose everything – his position, his ship, and his life.
Kasia excels at uncovering secrets. Half a lifespan ago, her curiosity placed her on the Humanoid Alliance’s kill list. Now she has accessed information the cyborg council would prefer remain hidden. Their warriors are hunting her and won’t rest until she’s dead.
When Vector arrives on her battle station, all grim determination, gray skin, and bulging muscles, Kasia knows he has been sent to kill her. That doesn’t stop her from wanting the dominant cyborg. She senses the savage nature under the male’s controlled exterior, sees the mysteries in his brilliant blue eyes, craves the roughness of his touch. She will risk all she has to experience his embrace.
Kasia braved the cyborg council’s ire for a reason. If she doesn’t convince Vector to act on the information she uncovered, the enemy could destroy his home planet and render every cyborg in the universe immobile.
Can a doubting C Model warrior learn to trust and to love before it is too late?
Seeking Vector is Book 10 in the Cyborg Sizzle series and is a STAND-ALONE story.
It is also a Cyborg SciFi Romance.

Taking Vengeance And Scanning Second Buoir
Some reading buddies have asked about scanning on Second Buoir. Astrid, the heroine of Taking Vengeance, has to search for her family’s remains on foot because the terrain is unscannable yet Vengeance, our hero, completes a lifeform scan of the planet.
How is this possible? It sounds like a continuity error.
I DO make errors in my stories. (sheepish smile) Every book ever written has a few mistakes in it. But this isn’t one of them.
A lifeform scanner is useless to find remains. There’s no life left in the bodies. But other scanners are as ineffective.
Astrid knows her family’s remains are buried. The soil is what makes Second Buoir unscannable or, to be more exact, unscannable for Astrid’s purpose – which is to pinpoint the location of human remains hidden under the soil.
On Earth today, ground-penetrating radar ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-penetrating_radar#Limitations) is often used to locate buried bodies. BUT GPR isn’t effective with all soils. Soils with a high clay content, for example, are often unreadable (soils with a high clay content can also cause natural mummification of bodies – grins).
Although GPR’s capabilities will improve in the future, Second Buoir is a unique planet, has its own unique soil. I suspect the technology would have to be farther tweaked for Astrid’s usage and she doesn’t have those resources.
A different type of heroine might use the unique soil as a way to block lifeform scans. She would ‘hide’ in an underground bunker or cave.
Astrid isn’t the hiding type. She lives defiantly on the surface, where she can be scanned. I love that about her!
