Olrun, the heroine of Intrepid Encounter, is a Valkyrie. Valkyries can live forever. They stop aging when they hit 25 solar cycles (years).
Why 25 solar cycles?
Because humans, on average, hit their potential for top physical strength at age 25. And Valkyries are warriors. They loved to fight with swords and other blades. And they would value physical strength.
Is 25 when humans are at their peak?
Not in all things. We peak for different things at different ages.
We feel best about our bodies, for example, after the age of 70.
Our vocabularies peak in our late 60s/early 70s.
Life satisfaction peaks, on average, at 23 but then again at 69. (LOL I can never write 69 without laughing.)
You are likely at or near your best in one aspect of your life right now. And isn’t that a wonderful thing?

Intrepid Encounter
Cyborg vs. Valkyrie
Blood will be spilled and hearts will be captured.
Intrepid and his crew on the Dauntless guard the border to the cyborg sector. The D Model cyborg captain has dedicated his lifespan to protecting their homeland. He’ll do anything to secure the space and keep his brethren safe.
That includes confronting a Valkyrie intent on vengeance.
The female warrior is beautiful, brave, strong…and Intrepid’s genetic match. She’s the one being he is fated to claim. Her voice causes his circuits to hum. Her touch produces a passion he struggles to control.
But if he has to stop her…permanently…to protect his kind, he will make that sacrifice.
Olrun has been tracking the whereabouts of a one-of-a-kind object. The stolen item is critical to the safety of her Valkyrie sisters, and she’ll do anything to retrieve it.
That includes waging war on a tall, broad-shouldered cyborg warrior sporting brilliant-blue eyes and grimly set lips.
The male might…just might…have battle skills matching her own. And that excites the immortal fighter. She craves his rough handling, his punishing embrace, his stern words.
But Olrun’s desire for the cyborg won’t distract her from achieving her goal. She will shield her fellow Valkyries from danger, even if that means ending Intrepid’s lifespan in the process.
Intrepid Encounter is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a protective cyborg, a vengeful Valkyrie, and a destiny neither of them can predict.
