Taking Vengeance, the next cyborg romance, will be releasing April 17th!
While we wait, here is the first scene of the first chapter.
Humans were their enemies.
Vengeance glared along the horizontal support at Power, his nemesis on the cyborg council.
Some warriors had forgotten that. They had forgiven thousands of solar cycles of killing and abuse just because a handful of human females had given cyborgs offspring.
Offspring could be manufactured as he had been manufactured—in a vat. And they could never compensate for what had been done to his brethren.
Cyborgs had been created by the Humanoid Alliance to fight the humans’ wars. When they faltered, were injured, or were deemed obsolete—replaced by newer models, the humans had callously decommissioned them.
An early C Model, Vengeance had seen that death sentence given to almost every warrior he trained with, every male he cared for, every being he loved. He’d watched the humans laugh and chatter as they sliced his friends to pieces, dissecting the males while they were alive, removing every salvageable part. The humans had given the warriors prolongers. That prevented the cyborgs from losing consciousness due to the pain, ensuring they felt every cut.
Friend after friend had suffered the horrible fate, their deaths transmitted. He shared their horror as they watched their guts scooped out of their frames, heard their screams as their limbs were severed. The agony seemed endless, every sight and sound broadcasted.
While the humans smiled and joked.
He would never forget that, would never forgive the humans.
Power argued that the human females were different. They weren’t responsible for the deaths of cyborg brethren.
Vengeance’s lips twisted. The E Model was wrong.
All humans, male or female, were the same. They were cruel, couldn’t be trusted. Given the opportunity, they would betray his brethren, enslave them once more, sentencing them to endless torture and death.
He couldn’t allow that to happen.
“As we decided during our last meeting, ten levels will be added to Structure 539212,” Power relayed. “That space will be manufactured to accommodate human and humanoid females.”
“That was not decided.” Vengeance straightened. “The levels should be designed for cyborg usage only. Our warriors are the Homeland’s only permanent residents.”
Two council members nodded.
Five solar cycles ago, every representative would have agreed with him.
But the enemy had infiltrated their ranks, influenced the warriors. His gaze shifted to Death and that warrior’s human female.
Vengeance had earned his place on the council, had been awarded it after a lifespan of battle and a bloody escape from the Humanoid Alliance. The puny female had been given her spot. One of their enemy now sat at the horizontal support as though she were his equal.
He curled his top lip. It was a disgrace, dangerous and disrespectful to all of his fallen brethren.
“Human and humanoid females will soon be permanent residents, with full rights,” Power argued.
“Giving humans full rights will endanger every warrior on our planet.” He would fight that ruling with every resource he had. “The enemy should be expelled, not welcomed.”
“The females aren’t our enemies.” Power’s dark eyes flashed. “They’re our future.”
“They’ll destroy our future, a future we’ve fought hard to achieve.” Many of their brethren had given their lifespans for the freedom the survivors now enjoyed.
That sacrifice had to be honored, the cyborgs’ liberty protected.
“That is your projection.” Power tilted his head upward. “My model predicts a more optimistic result.”
The E Model’s processors were malfunctioning. The Humanoid Alliance had manufactured cyborgs to serve them. The humans would never forget that, would never allow him and his brethren to be truly free.
“The plans for the new levels have been transferred to you, Death.” Power returned to pandering to that warrior and his human female. “Give us your insights by sunrise.”
Death disappointed Vengeance. The warrior had been formidable on the battlefield. Once. Now, he was weak, a shadow of a cyborg, betraying their kind by bonding with the enemy.
He represented the human females, was aligned with them, ensuring their wishes and needs were taken into consideration when the cyborgs made decisions.
The humans had brutally killed their brethren, and now warriors worried about whether or not they were happy. The cyborg council had been taken over by the enemy. Vengeance looked around the chamber. Did no one else see that?
His gaze returned to Power. This was the emotional E Model’s doing. With the talk of offspring and companionship, he’d swayed many lonely warriors to his side, the side of the human females.
He would never sway Vengeance.

Taking Vengeance
The only force stronger than their hate is their love.
Vengeance hates all humans. They killed every being he ever cared about. When the huge C Model cyborg is told he’s genetically compatible with the enemy, he makes it his mission to capture the female and use her to expel all humans from his home planet. That should be disappointingly easy. She’s a weak, fragile human.
Then she blows up his ship, blasting to bits his preconceived notions about the enemy.
Astrid, aka the Buoir Berserker, hates all cyborgs. They killed her entire clan, including her baby sister. The warrior female has vowed to hunt down and destroy the enemy. When a savage cyborg arrogantly puts his hard, sexy body within her reach, she does the only thing a female can do—she peppers his muscular physique with projectiles.
The more passionately they fight, the stronger their attraction becomes. Neither of them will relent on their missions, yet they can’t keep their hands off each other. Their battle will either end in love to last an eternity or in death.
Taking Vengeance is Book 12 in the Cyborg Sizzle series and is a STAND-ALONE story.
It is also an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, often violent universe.
