Throwback Thursday – Dark Cure

By Cynthia Sax on January 15, 2026

Gisella, the female human medic at the Refuge, works hard.

She decides, after one extremely frustrating and tiring day, to play equally hard by having a no-strings-attached hot-as-the-sand-dunes one night passionfest with a hunky visiting barbarian warrior.

Oghul, that hunky visiting barbarian warrior, wants more than one night with his little medic. And he wants strings. No, not simply strings. He wants to bind them together with all the force of the universe.

Gisella is his gerel, his fated mate, and he doesn’t plan to ever let her go.

Dark Cure Alien Romance

A warrior seeking forever faces a medic living in the moment.

Gisella, the Refuge’s medic, is dedicated to her role. She doesn’t have the space in her lifespan for love, a mate, or children. Healing is her entire focus.

But she’s also a female in her prime. She has needs, wants, cravings…especially for a scarred, long-haired barbarian warrior temporarily residing in the settlement. One fierce, soul-blasting, passion-filled encounter is all she is willing to give him before she returns to her duties.

Oghul, a Chamele Warlord’s Second-In-Command, has waited his entire lifespan to find his gerel, the being fated to be his. He’s thrilled to discover she wants him as savagely as he yearns for her.

His little human medic appeals to his primitive possessive side. Greatly. He wants to stamp his ownership all over her bountiful curves, take her back to his home planet, claim his fiery female permanently.

When Carinae E’s solitary sun rises, two determined beings with very different desires find their lifespans entwined. Their battle for emotional supremacy will span systems and alter destinies.

The universe will never be the same.

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

Throwback Thursday – Defying Death

By Cynthia Sax on January 8, 2026

Cyborgs are assigned a model letter and number. They give themselves names.

The cyborg hero of Defying Death gave himself the rather grim name of Death.

Because that is how he perceives himself – as the bringer of death.

And that is all he ever expects to experience – seeing death, delivering death, his own death ultimately in battle.

Until he meets Tifara, a human medic determined to keep all those around her alive.

And to bring a heart-dead cyborg back to life.

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 Cure

By Cynthia Sax on April 17, 2025

Top Medic Gisella’s lifespan consists of work and duty and always being extremely professional.

One evening, she decides to mix it up a bit, to break loose. She has a wild one night stand with a sexy barbarian alien warrior.

Except her barbarian isn’t looking for merely a one night stand. She is his fated mate and he is determined to extend their time together into…forever.

Throwback Thursday – Defying Death

By Cynthia Sax on March 27, 2025

Cyborgs were manufactured to wage battles and win wars. They were designed to deliver death.

And that is all most of them have ever processed.

They kill or they are killed.

Death, the cyborg hero of Defying Death, is no exception.

Until he meets Tifara, a curvy human medic, the one being he was created to care for, protect, LIVE for.

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.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Cure

By Cynthia Sax on July 11, 2024

It is apt that this week’s Throwback Thursday pick is Dark Cure as Claiming Cure is my next release.

Cure, the cyborg, doesn’t appear in Dark Cure.

I chose the title, Dark Cure, before I met him.

And I never thought Cure, the cyborg, would have his own story.

But he DOES have his own story.

And now the two titles are super confusing. Oops! Sorry about that!

Dark Cure is not directly connected to Claiming Cure.

Throwback Thursday – Defying Death

By Cynthia Sax on June 20, 2024

Facing death changes a being. And the cyborgs have faced so much death they won’t ever be ‘normal’ by human standards.

Death, the hero of Defying Death, is no exception to that. He has faced death and delivered death so many times he chose to call himself Death.

Death is all he has ever known.

Until he meets the curvy human female destined to be his.

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.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Cure

By Cynthia Sax on November 9, 2023

I write quite a few stories with warrior heroes and heroines. Warriors tend to get injured.

Which means I also write quite a few stories with medic heroes and heroines. (grins)

Dark Cure is one such story. The heroine is a human medic, who believes she’s having a wild one rest cycle (night) stand with a hunky stranger. The hero is an alien warrior (a Chamele), who is determined to claim her. Forever.

Throwback Thursday – Defying Death

By Cynthia Sax on October 19, 2023

Cyborgs choose their own names and I find it fascinating that Death chose…well…Death. That is the only contribution he believes he’s allowed to make to the universe. He delivers death. He ends lifespans. He is the source of pain and suffering.

That changes when he meets Tifara.

Defying Death

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

Throwback Thursday – Dark Cure

By Cynthia Sax on April 6, 2023

Dark Cure is the final story in the Refuge (Dark Thoughts) series. I think of it as a bridge story to the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series.

Because the hero is a Chamele warrior. Oghul has claws and has a barbarian feel to him. And he is destined to have one genetic match.

His match is Gisella, the Refuge’s human medic. Gisella doesn’t believe in forever. She knows, very well, that everything ends so she lives in the moment.

Oghul is determined to change her view. (grins)

Throwback Thursday – Defying Death

By Cynthia Sax on March 16, 2023

Death and Tifara, the cyborg hero and human heroine of Defying Death, might seem, at first glance, to have tremendously different outlooks on life.

He’s a warrior. She’s a medic with a focus on infectious diseases.

He’s a cyborg. She’s a human.

But, when we get to know them, we realize they are more alike personality-wise than different.

Death is keenly focused on one task – finding and claiming his female. He is willing to give up his lifespan for one moment with Tifara.

Tifara is willing to give up her lifespan to find cures for infectious diseases, to save lives. She is very much focused on that task…to the point of obsession.

When she meets Death, for the first time in her lifespan, her attention is…diverted. (grins)

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.
