By the time we meet up with Cadet in Containing Malice, the leader of the Rebel Cyborgs and her warriors have rescued thousands of their cyborg brethren.
There ARE other rescue teams at this point in time. As ships are obtained, more rescue teams are formed. That expediates the retrievals of their trapped brethren.
But there’s only one team led by Cadet. It was the first of its kind and it is perceived as the best. Every warrior on the team has a special connection to its leader.
In Under Strain, we find out why Strain, a fairly new member of the team, was chosen for a coveted role on Cadet’s team. He reminds her of someone she dearly loves.
Cadet has a soft spot for the severely damaged warrior. She believes he’s skilled. She wouldn’t place the rest of her team in danger by adding someone who wasn’t skilled. But she also cares for him.
As she cares for every member of her team.

Under Strain
A damaged cyborg warrior is hunted by a peace-loving human female.
***
Strain is severely malfunctioning. The D Model cyborg was the sole survivor after a horrific decision was made by his cruel manufacturers. He hates all humans, and when he attacks one who is under his cyborg leader’s protection, he is reprimanded, stripped of his weapons, and told to watch and not actively participate in the next mission.
That mission takes place on a small remote planet. Its lush terrain should only be inhabited by the cyborgs they were sent to rescue, but Strain senses another presence on the surface. She is watching him, tracking him, hunting him.
A fully operational cyborg would end her lifespan.
Strain wants to claim her. Forever.
Kamyelle is the only one left of her kind. Warriors have killed the other nonviolent human inhabitants of her planet. She survived…barely…by hiding in the trees, observing her enemies, and covering herself with lifeform scan-concealing mud.
When a handsome, gray-skinned, brilliant-blue-eyed male arrives, surrounded by weapon-carrying warriors, she has to save him. Warriors harm and they kill. That is what they do.
She won’t allow them to hurt Strain.

Under Strain is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a broken warrior, a human female who thinks he’s perfect, and velociraptor-like dinosaurs who view them both as light, tasty snacks.
