I write fated to mate/instalove/love at first sight stories because that’s the only type of romantic love I know. I fell in love with the (now) Dear Wonderful Hubby at first sight and decades later, we’re still very much in love. He’s my best friend. I can’t imagine life without him.
But I also truly believe there has to be more than that first rush of ‘knowing’. I fell in love with Dear Wonderful Hubby at first sight. THEN I found out our stances on major life issues were aligned and that solidified our relationship.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby was working multiple jobs while going through school when I met him, for example. I was also working multiple jobs while going through school. We were both dedicated to our family and we were both extremely loyal, honest people. We believed in giving back to the world. We didn’t believe in wasting…well…anything (he drove a very old yet well maintained car). The list went on and on.
I try to show this type of alignment also in my stories. The love interests might not seem like a match at first but when we dig deeper, we see, at their cores, they hold the same values.
That’s the ‘Ever After’ in the Romantic Happy Ever After. (grins)

Seizing Power
This cyborg believes he’s in control.
Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council. Other members might debate situations. He makes the ultimate decisions.
When a threat to Homeland is revealed, he takes command of a fleet and ventures to the edge of cyborg-controlled space to investigate. He finds a rebellion led by a mysterious upstart he calls Cadet.
The plan Power derives is simple—he’ll quickly quash the uprising and teach its leader a lesson the warrior will never forget.
NO ONE challenges his authority.
Eirene Ours might be called a cadet by Power but she is NOT his subordinate. She is the arrogant E Model’s genetic match.
For much of her mature lifespan, she has desired the male, yearning for his dark-eyed gaze, craving his sure hands, longing for his respect.
That esteem was never granted. And Eirene Ours can no longer wait to earn it. There’s an external threat to their kind, a danger that might destroy them all.
Having lured Power to her home terrain, she now plans to use everything within her means — her fists, her daggers, her ship-destroying missiles — to pound that truth into her stubborn warrior’s thick metal skull.
The future of every cyborg is at stake. She can’t fail them.
Power will believe her. Or he will die.
