Throwback Thursday – Dark Strength
If you like your heroes HUGE and green and bald, Balvan in Dark Strength is the modified humanoid for you!
(grins)
I can’t call him a gentle giant (although he is VERY gentle with his human heroine and the small furry creatures he rescues), however, because he’s very much a warrior and he loves stomping on the skulls of his enemies, crushing them under his boots.
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.

Assassin’s Haiku And Art In A Time Of Peril
Assassin’s Haiku is a dystopian romance. The world in this story is very dark, very grim.
Yet the heroine, Haiku, is a poet. She frequents a poetry-sex bar.
Because art is ALWAYS needed. Wherever there are human beings, there will likely be art. Our ancestors painted on cave walls. Soldiers wrote poems while they were in the trenches during war. Rebels passed messages through song. Last thoughts were embroidered beautifully on remnants of clothing.
Art is something our hearts crave and our souls need…to flourish and to survive.
Write your stories. Sing your songs. Crochet your scarves. Paint your walls.
This is necessary for you to remain you.
(smiles)
Assassin’s Haiku
C.S. Sax
Twice a week, every week, Haiku sits beside Dante in the dimly-lit underground poetry bar. As they listen to the poets read, she basks in the warmth of her genetically-enhanced assassin’s body, and longs for the smack of large, leather-clad hands against bare skin. No other male, human or otherwise, makes her tremble like Dante can with one dark look.
Her heart, body and soul are his, if only he’d ask.
Dante won’t ask, because he knows a killer doesn’t deserve love. Instead, he sits in silent torment, watching Haiku, wanting Haiku, yet unable to touch her.
She is poetry and light, embodying all that he fights for, and when Agency operatives attack the bar, putting Haiku in danger, he must protect her. He takes her to the safest place on the planet, his underground bunker, and then realizes he has made a deadly mistake.
Haiku may now be safe, but Dante’s heart has been put in jeopardy.

Assassin’s Haiku And C.S. Sax
I debated long and hard about whether I should re-release Assassin’s Haiku under the Cynthia Sax name or the C.S. Sax name.
I love this dystopian romance and I really wanted it to be available to reading buddies.
The world is dark like the cyborg world. Our heroes and heroines are battling an authoritarian government like the heroes and heroines in the cyborg world are. The hero is a genetically modified assassin, very similar to the modified humanoids in the Dark Thoughts/Refuge Series world.
I think reading buddies who love those two worlds will love Assassin’s Haiku.
But it IS a re-release. And it isn’t technically a SciFi Romance (or Contemporary Romance).
So I decided to release it under C.S. Sax.

Throwback Thursday – Breathing Vapor
I love cyborgs. I love assassin heroes.
The hero of Breathing Vapor is both and I love him SO much.
His next target is Mira, a human female and his genetic match.
This is a true enemies to lovers romance.
(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.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – October 19
I continue to have fun with my super secret project. It gives me so much joy and that’s a gift on its own. (smiles)
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Write your to-do list or other notes to yourself in a different colored ink. Research shows writing in different colors stimulates different parts of our brains. So this is like a little workout for your gray matter. (grins)
Containing Malice
This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.
***
Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.
His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.
He wants her. He also seeks retribution.
Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.
Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.
The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.
Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.
***
Containing Malice is a STANDALONE enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It is the first of five core stories in the Rebel Cyborgs Series.
Book 1: Containing Malice
Book 2: Under Strain

I continue to have fun with my secret writing project. (smiles) It is giving me so much joy.
I’m also working on re-releasing some previously published stories. I like the idea of having them once again out there in the world. Hopefully they’ll give reading buddies some joy. They certainly gave me joy rereading them.
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Listen to a song from one of the happiest periods of your life. Remember that joy, that love, that awesomeness. Dance in your chair a little. Sing off tune.
Have fun, my friends. You deserve fun.
B Free
B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.
Or so he believes.
When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.
What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.
Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.
When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.
She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.
Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.

B Free is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features the sole surviving B Model cyborg warrior, a courageous researcher seeking to uncover the past, and an unplanned visit to a settlement ruled by an extremely scary all-knowing, all-powerful being.

Assassin’s Haiku: A Dystopian Romance From C.S. Sax Is ReReleased
Assassin’s Haiku is one of my favorite early stories. It features a genetically enhanced assassin hero and a very human poet heroine.
I republished Assassin’s Haiku because I really wanted it out there in the world. It is SUCH a good story.
And I republished it under the C.S. Sax name because it isn’t technically SciFi Romance (or Contemporary Romance).
But I think reading buddies who enjoyed Breathing Vapor (or Releasing Rage) will likely enjoy Assassin’s Haiku.
