Throwback Thursday – Warlord Unarmed

By Cynthia Sax on May 18, 2023

Murad, the barbarian hero of Warlord Unarmed, is likely the most beta hero I’ve ever written. He IS a leader. He is the Warlord of an entire planet. But his leadership skills revolve around technology and leveraging the skills of other beings.

Gale, his gerel, is the admin component of a bounty hunting organization. When she believes her friend is in trouble, she goes from supply ordering wonder female to action heroine. (grins)

Warlord Unarmed

Protected by the Barbarian Warrior
* * *
Murad, a technology-loving Chamele Warlord, has to track down and eliminate a rogue warrior before that male ends Murad’s reign. Permanently.

When a pieced-together wreck of a ship enters the sector without authorization, Murad assumes it is piloted by an ally of his enemy and decides to blow the battered vessel out of open space.

Then he hears the voice of its sole occupant and his orders and his priorities immediately shift. The captain of the ship is his gerel, the one female he’s genetically compatible with—the light to his darkness, his future, his everything.

He will protect her…even if it costs him his life.

Bounty hunter Gale doesn’t want or need protection. She has entered Chamele space on a rescue mission. A tall, muscular, half-naked barbarian with humor-lit eyes and gentle hands won’t distract her from that purpose, no matter what he tries.

A broken ship and an enemy focused on revenge do interfere with her plans. Gale’s goal changes from saving a friend to saving herself. The only being who can increase her chances of survival is the one Warlord she can’t resist.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Bounty

By Cynthia Sax on May 4, 2023

Warlord’s Bounty was originally the first story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series. It inspired the entire series.

Of the three Warlord brothers, Khan is the most battle-happy. He is skilled at fighting and he loves the physical nature and the challenge of it.

Zeta is the most action-loving bounty hunter in her group. She is daring and brave and a skilled survivor.

When these two warriors meet, it is magical!

Warlord’s Bounty

Wanted: One Barbarian Warrior.

The bigger the bounty, the more dangerous the target.

Khan, a Chamele Warlord, has a huge bounty on his head. His enemy wants him captured and is offering any being in the universe an outrageous number of credits to accomplish that.

Khan wants to be captured, but only if the being apprehending him is a tiny, brown-eyed female with wickedly sharp daggers and an even sharper tongue. His passion for the feisty human can’t be inhibited by restraints. He’ll allow her to subdue him…in a variety of enticing ways.

When she finally collects her credits, he’ll collect his revenge, killing his enemy and claiming his little bounty hunter forever.

Zeta doesn’t do forever. After a lifespan of chasing dangerous beings across galaxies, apprehending and trading them for credits, she doesn’t get involved emotionally…with anyone.

Khan might be fierce and sexy and the most dominant male she has ever encountered, but the barbarian is also her target, and once she sates herself with his body, she’ll betray him.

That’s her job.

* * *

Warlord’s Bounty is based on a much shorter story sharing the same title.
It is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes violent universe.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Sky

By Cynthia Sax on April 20, 2023

Warlord Sky, the first story in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series, is a story of two very injured beings.

Qulpa’s injuries are obvious. His fingers were severed in a crash. And he’s worried he’ll never be able to fly again.

Nayan’s injuries are hidden. They are both emotional AND physical and they have been with her for a very long time.

Warlord Sky

No one grounds a barbarian warrior.

Qulpa, a Chamele warrior, lost everyone he loved in the brutal Succession Wars. Flying is the only thing that brings him joy. Serving as his team’s pilot is the sole duty he has left. Then a horrific crash leaves him injured and unable to fly.

The one being who can help him is also his gerel, the female destined to be his. She insists she doesn’t feel their connection. Qulpa is certain his beautiful mate is lying and nothing will stop him from finding out why.

Nayan knows the injured barbarian is her warrior, her one chance at a forever bond. His dominance makes her feel safe. His gentle touch inflames her passion. His kisses scorch her very soul. The tall muscular male tempts her as no one else has.

But she has a deadly secret. If it’s exposed, her injured male will lose more than his ability to fly. Both of them will die. She can’t take that risk, not for him, not for them, not for a lifespan filled with love.

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)

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 Thoughts

By Cynthia Sax on February 9, 2023

Dark Thoughts is one of my favorite stories I’ve ever told.

Kralj is tall, dark and scarred. He is a bit…menacing. He likes to literally EAT his enemies and not in a sexy way. His powers are off the chart. He is definitely at the top of the universe’s food chain.

Dita, his destined mate, is absolutely fearless. She is human, is not at all immortal like Kralj is yet she’s not afraid of him or of dying. She is the light to his darkness.

And they work. They’re magical together.

Can love redeem a monster?

The Refuge is home to some of the most violent beings in the universe. Kralj, its leader, reigns over the remote outpost with terrifying ease, ruthlessly squashing any rumors of rebellion, killing anyone who breaks his rules. Primitive, deadly, powerful, he’s a monster, scarred both on his face and his soul. He has never met a being he couldn’t control.

Until he meets her.

Dita has one mission—to kill the three targets claiming sanctuary within the Refuge. Or so she claims. For the first time in his long lifespan, Kralj isn’t certain of another being’s intentions. The tiny assassin is immune to his powers, her thoughts unreadable. He can’t predict her movements, can’t control her, can’t stop wanting her.

Dita is rare, as unique as he is, and, to keep the residents of the Refuge safe, Kralj will have to kill her. But first, he’ll touch her, taste her, show her how passionate the beast inside him can be.

Dark Thoughts is a STAND-ALONE SciFi Romance.
The hero might be tall, dark, and scarred but don’t be fooled by his appearance.
He’s truly a monster.
This story is not for readers with delicate sensibilities.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Return

By Cynthia Sax on November 24, 2022

One of the many things I love about Warlord’s Return is… it takes us full circle.

The first story in the series, Warlord Sky, begins with the Chamele warriors returning to their home planet after a visit to the Refuge.

This final story in the series begins with the Chamele warriors leaving their home planet for a visit to the Refuge.

This story also bridges series. The Refuge is the home of the heroes and heroines from the Refuge/Dark Thoughts series. The Chamele stories reside in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series.

And Warlord’s Return features a mini-dragon. (grins) I LOVE dragons.

Warlord’s Return

Ariq is a barbarian warrior seeking a war.

He locates that battle when he meets Xareni.

* * *

Ariq is one of Chamele’s top warriors. A genetic predisposition to fighting, paired with intensive training and experience, has honed the scarred male into an effective killing machine. He loves war, can’t live without combat.

The Succession Wars, however, have finally ended and the Chamele sector is now at peace. Seeking excitement and purpose, the barbarian warrior accompanies his Second to the Refuge, an outlaw settlement on Carinae E. He hopes to locate the battle he’s been craving there.

Ariq finds that conflict and more when he meets his fated mate.

Xareni owes the Ruler of the Refuge a favor. That’s the only reason she has returned to the settlement. She doesn’t like crowds or structures or a certain barbarian warrior who insists on following her everywhere. It doesn’t matter that there’s a connection between them, that he makes her burn with desire, that he looks at her with heat in his dark eyes.

She’s a monster and monsters don’t need anyone.

* * *

Warlord’s Return is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance featuring a determined barbarian warrior, an equally resolute human female, and an eyeball-eating mini dragon.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Mercy

By Cynthia Sax on November 10, 2022

I’m a pantser, a writer who writes by the seat of her pants, someone who doesn’t have any idea where a story is going when she sits down to write.

I didn’t know how the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series would end, but I assumed, Tolui, the big baddie, would eventually die…because that is what big baddies do in romance novels – they die. I assumed the Warlord brothers would work together to defeat him. Permanently.

I was as surprised as many reading buddies were to find out Tolui would be the hero of his own story. The dang male refused to die. His mission was noble. He is deserving of a love to last forever.

And he is one of my all time favorite heroes.

Other Chameles view him as the enemy.

She sees the warrior hero he never believed he could be.

* * *

Tolui is a Warlord in search of a planet to rule. He has been leading his fellow clones in a stealth battle, fighting for both control of the Chamele sector and the right to exist. The brave warriors he commands warrant respect, and they deserve the best.

That best isn’t the barren, dangerous terrain on Chamele 4. When Tolui crashes on that planet’s surface, he’s determined to leave it as soon as possible. The tiny human female rescuing him might be as beautiful and as wild as the land she inhabits, but her flowing words, trusting gaze, and enthralling submission won’t stop him from rejoining the war.

After many solar cycles of living alone, Lea is overjoyed when a tall, scarred, muscular warrior falls from the sky. Her savage stranger is strong and severe, and he makes her feel safe, an emotion she hasn’t experienced in a long, long time.

He also insists they must part. Before they do, she’ll show him the splendor of her home, and she’ll enjoy his big form, collecting passionate moments she can revisit when she’s solitary once more.

Every additional moment Lea and Tolui spend together increases the chance they’ll both die. Lea is being chased by female-hating fiends. Tolui is being hunted by the best bounty hunters in the universe. War will soon arrive on their threshold, and the blood spilled might be their own.

* * *

Warlord’s Mercy is based on a much shorter story sharing the same title.

It is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance featuring a villain turned hero and a brave, chatty heroine set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Reunited

By Cynthia Sax on October 27, 2022

If I was to recommend one of my stories to a lover of Second Chance Romances, that story would be Warlord Reunited.

Alien Warlord Berke and Human Bounty Hunter Elle have history. Wowsers, do they have history! (shakes head) They fought. They loved. They broke up. BADLY. Now, Elle plans to sever their connection…permanently. With her daggers.

Warlord Reunited

This barbarian warrior’s cold demeanor hides the warmest of hearts.
* * *
Solar cycles ago, Berke, a savage Chamele Warlord, found his gerel, the one being he is destined to be with for all time…except he couldn’t embrace that fate. He was fighting a series of brutal wars.

To protect his little human female, he conveyed her far from the Chamele sector. He then returned to the endless battles, concealing his pain, his anguish, his need, under a thick layer of ice.

His gerel was safe. That was all that mattered to him.

When Elle was a young bounty hunter, she bonded with an arrogant warrior on a distant planet. She was deliriously happy…for a while. Then he dumped her in a strange settlement far from his home and left, never to return.

Their parting caused her excruciating pain—both physical and emotional. She endured it, earned the esteemed role of head bounty hunter of an academy, salvaged a bit of a life from the disaster her primitive warrior had made of it.

Now, two of her bounty hunters have made the same terrible mistake. Elle is determined to rescue her friends and break their connections with their Chamele Warlords.

While she is in the sector, she plans to kill the warrior she’d once considered hers. Elle is ending her relationship with Berke…permanently.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Unarmed

By Cynthia Sax on October 13, 2022

Murad, the hero of Warlord Unarmed, is a different type of Warlord. While his brothers rely on battle strategy or fighting skills to defend their planets, Murad relies on the technology he and his Chameles design to keep his kind safe.

Murad is one of the most beta heroes I’ve written. He is secure in his intelligence and he doesn’t need to speak loudly or rattle swords to convince beings to follow him.

Which works for Gale, his gerel or mate. (grins) She values that quiet strength.

Warlord Unarmed

Protected by the Barbarian Warrior
* * *
Murad, a technology-loving Chamele Warlord, has to track down and eliminate a rogue warrior before that male ends Murad’s reign. Permanently.

When a pieced-together wreck of a ship enters the sector without authorization, Murad assumes it is piloted by an ally of his enemy and decides to blow the battered vessel out of open space.

Then he hears the voice of its sole occupant and his orders and his priorities immediately shift. The captain of the ship is his gerel, the one female he’s genetically compatible with—the light to his darkness, his future, his everything.

He will protect her…even if it costs him his life.

Bounty hunter Gale doesn’t want or need protection. She has entered Chamele space on a rescue mission. A tall, muscular, half-naked barbarian with humor-lit eyes and gentle hands won’t distract her from that purpose, no matter what he tries.

A broken ship and an enemy focused on revenge do interfere with her plans. Gale’s goal changes from saving a friend to saving herself. The only being who can increase her chances of survival is the one Warlord she can’t resist.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Bounty

By Cynthia Sax on September 29, 2022

The last Throwback Thursday pick of September 2022 is…

Warlord’s Bounty.

This is the story that started the series. I wrote it before any of the others because…well… Khan. (bites fist) I love him.

Khan is an over the top alpha alien warrior who believes battle is all he’ll truly have. Chameles have fated mates or gerels and he knows he doesn’t have such a match in his sector.

His fated mate is an equally battle-happy human bounty hunter from a distant sector. (grins) Zeta is kick a$$ and driven and she has no time for romance with the big sexy barbarian she’s tracking.

Warlord’s Bounty

Wanted: One Barbarian Warrior.

The bigger the bounty, the more dangerous the target.

Khan, a Chamele Warlord, has a huge bounty on his head. His enemy wants him captured and is offering any being in the universe an outrageous number of credits to accomplish that.

Khan wants to be captured, but only if the being apprehending him is a tiny, brown-eyed female with wickedly sharp daggers and an even sharper tongue. His passion for the feisty human can’t be inhibited by restraints. He’ll allow her to subdue him…in a variety of enticing ways.

When she finally collects her credits, he’ll collect his revenge, killing his enemy and claiming his little bounty hunter forever.

Zeta doesn’t do forever. After a lifespan of chasing dangerous beings across galaxies, apprehending and trading them for credits, she doesn’t get involved emotionally…with anyone.

Khan might be fierce and sexy and the most dominant male she has ever encountered, but the barbarian is also her target, and once she sates herself with his body, she’ll betray him.

That’s her job.
