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.

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 – 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 – Dark Cure

By Cynthia Sax on September 1, 2022

Dark Cure could have easily resided in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series. The hero, Oghul, is a Chamele warrior. He is one of the Warlords’ second-in-command.

I placed it in the Refuge (Dark Thoughts) series because Oghul’s brother lives in the Refuge. The story starts in the Refuge. And the heroine, Gisella, is the Refuge’s head medic.

There are also many appearances by other individuals in the Refuge, including Kralj and Dita.

I view Dark Cure as a bridge story between the Refuge (Dark Thoughts) series and the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series. Oghul, the hero is a Chamele and he reports to Khan, one of his sector’s Warlords.

When Oghul’s gerel, his fated mate, steps into a beverage outlet and picks him to have sexy times with, he is definitely not saying no. (grins) He plans to claim her. Forever.

Gisella, the settlement’s medic, wants one rest cycle of fun with a hunky barbarian warrior. She doesn’t know she has bonded with the alien for a lifetime.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Cure

By Cynthia Sax on August 12, 2021

I often think of Dark Cure as the final story in the Refuge/Dark Thoughts series and the first story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series. The story officially resides with Dark Thoughts as it starts in the Refuge but it ends in the Chamele Sector.

Gisella, the heroine, is the Refuge’s Medic. She scares the sh*t out of many of the modified humanoids. (grins) They don’t mess with her.

Oghul, the heroine, however, can’t resist messing with her. She is his gerel, his fated mate. And he is determined to talk with her, touch her, claim her.

That doesn’t exactly go smoothly. (grins) But Oghul kind of likes that. He loves a challenge and Gisella is definitely that.

Dark Cure is a bridge story between the Refuge (Dark Thoughts) series and the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series. It can be read on its own but it does straddle these two series.

Oghul, the hero, is a Chamele warrior. He is Khan’s second-in-command (Khan is the Warlord hero of Warlord’s Bounty) and he is Qulpa’s leader (Qulpa is the pilot hero in Warlord Sky).

Oghul’s brother, however, is stationed in the Refuge, the settlement Kralj (the hero of Dark Thoughts) rules. We first meet Oghul’s brother in Dark Thoughts.

Gisella, the medic heroine of Dark Cure, is also stationed in the Refuge and that is where this awesome power couple meets. She is dedicated to her role, doesn’t realize her one-night-stand with Oghul will have long lasting consequences. (grins)

Throwback Thursday – Dark Cure

By Cynthia Sax on October 1, 2020

I remembered it was Thursday! Yay! Go, me! LOL This is especially impressive as I’m 6 chapters into the first draft of Containing Malice (releasing in February 2021) and I’m completely sucked into this cyborg romance. I love it thus far.

Dark Cure is the last official story in the Refuge series but it could very easily be the first story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series. These two series are entwined. The last story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series, Warlord’s Return (releasing in November), brings us back to the Refuge, closing that circle.

Why are they entwined?

A Chamele, Oghul’s brother, lives in Kralj and Dita’s settlement. Oghul, the hero of Dark Cure, visits that brother and meets his gerel, Gisella, there. She’s the Refuge’s top medic and is a female no one messes with…except for our hero. (grins) He messes with her in some delightful ways.

Dark Cure has sexy times and humor, explosions and tenderness, all the stuff I love to write. Oghul and Gisella are wonderful together. And we get to visit with many of the previous couples in the Refuge series.

Talking Medics In Space With Delilah Devlin

By Cynthia Sax on July 23, 2019

I’m at Delilah Devlin’s online home, talking about Doc’s Orders and medics in space.

Here is a snippet…

“I’ve also written quite a few equally awesome medic characters. Why? Because every ship, every team, every settlement usually has at least one medic. It is an essential role. Warriors often become injured and require healing. Beings might visit a settlement for the sole purpose of seeing a medic. If a ship crashes, a medic is likely to be one of the first beings arriving at the site.

Medics in SciFi Romances see plenty of action.”

Doc’s Orders

She wants both sides of her cyborg—the medic AND the beast.


A fully functional cyborg is balanced. His machine half and his organic half work together to produce the perfect warrior.

Doc isn’t fully functional.

The G Model operates at the two extremes. When his machine is in complete control, he’s the logic-driven medic, saving lifespans. Once his organics take charge, he becomes the savage beast…and beings die.

Both sides of Doc want to be the first to claim his female.

Allinen is one of the few beings in her small settlement who wasn’t born with a fated mate. Determined to belong somewhere, she has crafted a plan to leave the planet.

That plan doesn’t involve a huge stormy-eyed male who alternates between cool seduction and out-of-control ravishment. Doc isn’t her fated mate. Allinen knows that. But his dual nature and forbidden embraces tempt her to forget forever and indulge in more immediate delights.

Neither side of Doc views their relationship as being temporary. Her conflicted cyborg is prepared to battle her family, her planet and death itself to keep her.

Dark Cure – A Sci-Fi Romance Best Bet

By Cynthia Sax on November 25, 2018

Woot! Dark Cure was named a Sci-Fi Romance Best Bet at Love In Panels!

Here’s a snippet…

“Immovable Gisella meets irresistible force in Oghul, a fierce alien warrior, second-in-command to a warlord of his people, the Chamele. Oghul and his squad are in the Refuge temporarily but he immediately recognizes Gisella as his gerel or life mate. Her toughness is an added attraction for him. “You’re intelligent for a barbarian,” she says. “You’re very savage for a medic,” is his answer.”
