Throwback Thursday – The Cyborg’s Secret Baby
Mother’s Day is on Sunday in North America and I can’t think of a better mother-themed story of mine to feature than The Cyborg’s Secret Baby.
Zebrina, the human heroine in this standalone romance set in the Cyborg World, is the mother of a rapidly maturing cyborg son. She believes her son’s father, the love of her lifespan, Stealth, died in battle.
That belief is blown to bits when her K Model shows up on her doorstep.
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.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Strength
Today is St. Patrick’s Day! And since it is lucky to wear green on this day, I figure it is also lucky to read romances with green covers and/or with green heroes.
My favorite green hero whose story I’ve written is Balvan, the great green gatekeeper of the Refuge and the hero of Dark Strength. He isn’t exactly a gentle giant. (grins) Balvan is a warrior and he enjoys crunching skulls under his big boots. But he does love caring for wounded little creatures.
Elyce, the heroine, is definitely wounded and compared to Balvan, she’s little. (Anyone compared to Balvan is little.) She also deserves someone who will care for her and she finds that someone in the Refuge’s great green gatekeeper.
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.

Throwback Thursday – Defying Death
Death, the hero of Defying Death, will do ANYTHING for one moment of happiness, one chance at experiencing love, companionship, caring.
That touched me when I first wrote his story. It resonates with me even more now, after two years of being in a pandemic, often under lockdown, separated from some of the people I love most in this universe (like my Awesome Mom).
Tifara, the heroine, wants to understand what is impacting her, why she feels this tremendous attraction toward Death, the big, tough, stern warrior male who is her genetic match. Her expertise is viruses so, of course, she perceives their out-of-this-universe chemistry as a virus.
The discoveries in Defying Death are KEY to many future events in the cyborg world. Tifara is mentioned in Seizing Power, for example.
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 Strength
Most of the characters I write about are complex. They have different sides, different layers to their personalities.
Balvan, the huge green gatekeeper hero of Dark Strength, is no exception. He delights in crushing his enemies’ skulls with his big boots yet is super gentle when tending to the small creatures he rescues. Some beings believe him to be a monster yet he protects the residents of the Refuge and the beings he loves.
Elyce, the heroine of Dark Strength, sees Balvan’s complexities. She has survived her horrid past by carefully observing the beings around her. When she meets Balvan, she knows, deep in her heart, she will be safe with him. It takes more time for her to trust that knowing.

Throwback Thursday – Crash And Burn
Crash And Burn is a three-tissue read so ensure you’re in the mood for a good cry (that’s me every day lately – grins) when you read it.
This was the toughest story I’ve ever written but it had to be told because it impacts all cyborgs everywhere. The actions in Crash And Burn ripple throughout the universe.
Crash was manufactured to be one of the best warriors in the universe. The cyborg has spent many human lifespans fighting the enemy. But, unlike his battle-loving brethren, he doesn’t enjoy killing. When he escapes the Humanoid Alliance, he vows to never end another life.
Then he meets Safyre, an infuriating human female, and he considers breaking his vow.
Safyre will do anything to save her friend, the being she loves like a sister. She’ll ravish a huge hunky cyborg, kiss his best friend, and invoke scorching hot desires the male never realized he could feel. Dark soulful eyes, a quick wit, and a tempestuous passion won’t divert her from her mission.
Love, and a planet-destroying weapon, however, might stop her permanently.

Do I Read Reviews?
Reviews are important. They help readers find the best stories for them. And some booksellers reward stories that have reviews by giving them extra visibility on their sites.
But they are NOT meant for writers. Some writers don’t read any of their reviews. Some writers read only reviews other people filter for them. Writers are advised never to respond to reviews.
I read ALL the reviews on my stories. I have rhino skin, have built up a tolerance for criticism. And I don’t read reviews until my fresh writing for the day is done. I also don’t read reviews when I’m feeling fragile.
I see your comments about which cyborgs you would like to read about next. (smiles) I see your questions and concerns. I see your requests for updates on existing couples (and more).
I try to address your feedback here, on this blog. If you don’t see an answer to any of your questions, email me!

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.

Throwback Thursday – Breathing Vapor
Breathing Vapor is story two in the cyborg saga but, timewise, it occurs over the same duration as Releasing Rage, the first story in the series.
The two stories, when read one after another, show the range of the cyborg experience. Rage is an older model, has seen many human lifespans of battle. Vapor is a newer model, hasn’t seen any battle outside the brutal training rings.
Mira, his human heroine, reveals there IS resistance within the Humanoid Alliance. Not everyone who is perceived as being loyal is truly loyal…as Vapor will soon uncover.
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 – December 26th
I received a gazillion romance novels as gifts from my eldest brother. Reading those books and spending time with the Dear Wonderful Hubby are the only two items on my to-do list this upcoming week. (grins) Yep, life is good.
This past week, I wrote a few more chapters in the first draft of Provoking Odium, the first story in the upcoming Cyborg Unity series (releasing in June). I’m excited about this story. I think you’ll enjoy it.
Have a great week, my friends. (big hugs) Think about all the wonderful moments you’ve experienced in 2021—the great books you’ve read, the awesome conversations you’ve had (in person, text, email, social media, etc), the hugs both virtual and in person you’ve received. You are loved.

Cyborg Unity
I’ve decided upon a series name for the next part of the cyborg saga (starting with Provoking Odium in June).
The name of the new series will be Cyborg Unity. (grins)
Yes, that’s a hint as to what will happen in Seizing Power (releasing in February) between the two cyborg factions.
Amanda Kelsey, my amazing cover artist, has designed the above symbol for this series. I love it. It has a balanced, yin and yang feel to it, yet is very much SciFi. This symbol will appear on the covers of the books in this series.

Cynthia Sax Upcoming Releases
I have a tentative release schedule for 2022. It is tentative because that alien romance idea is still floating around my brain and I might write it between two of the cyborg romances. That means release dates might change but the order of the new series will remain the same.
I am SUPER excited about these upcoming releases. I can’t wait for you to read Seizing Power in February. I love this story and I think you’ll enjoy it also.
I’m getting excited about Odium’s story also. I suspected Odium had some hidden damage but I didn’t realize the depth of this cyborg warrior. He constantly surprises me…in a good way.
February 2022 – Seizing Power (In Edits)
New Series!
Cyborg Unity
June but hoping for May 2022 – Provoking Odium (First Draft Is Being Written Now)
August 2022 – Grin And Bare Him
November 2022 – Raw Desires
February 2023 – Strive For Forever
May 2023 – Intrepid Encounters
