Throwback Thursday – Containing Malice

By Cynthia Sax on November 21, 2024

If one of your favorite cyborg romances is Releasing Rage, I suspect you’ll love Containing Malice also.

Malice has been trapped in an underground Humanoid Alliance laboratory. He doesn’t realize his cyborg brethren are free. He doesn’t realize cyborgs have genetic matches. He doesn’t realize they can have kids.

And he definitely doesn’t believe in hope.

He’s angry and frustrated and in pain and a significant portion of that emotional turmoil is directed at the human female forced to experiment on him.

Containing Malice

This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.

***

Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.

His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.

He wants her. He also seeks retribution.

Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.

Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.

The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.

Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.

***

Containing Malice is a STANDALONE enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It is the first of five core stories in the Rebel Cyborgs Series.

Book 1: Containing Malice
Book 2: Under Strain
Book 3: Baring Grudge
Book 4: B Free
Book 5: Seizing Power

Throwback Thursday – Testing Truth

By Cynthia Sax on November 14, 2024

If you’re looking for a lighter (for me – grins) story with a fairytale feel, Testing Truth is the story for you!

Truth is a sh*t disturbing cyborg I can’t help but love. His female is a PRINCESS! Sure, she’s not the heir to the throne but she is royalty and she has the big gowns and tiaras to prove it.

They team up for a dangerous mission that will change the universe forever.

Testing Truth

A fun-loving cyborg gets serious about love.

***

Truth lives each moment as though it were his last. The cyborg warrior rushes into danger, teases beings he shouldn’t provoke, accepts every call of adventure he encounters.

When a prissy little human princess floats into the Rebel structure Truth is occupying, seeking a mercenary to assist her and her unusual entourage, he volunteers to be her warrior. She claims their assignment is dangerous, warns him he might not survive the task.

That is exactly the type of fun he has been seeking.

Princess Nanette of the planet Royaume must rescue her estranged brother from an enemy prison ship. That is her duty, and she has been trained to always place the needs of her planet and her subjects before her own. Nancy doesn’t have the freedom to indulge her passions for a certain dark-haired, gray-skinned cyborg. Not permanently and not publicly.

But she is unable to resist the warrior. Truth, with his laughing eyes, smiling lips, and rough hands, tempts her as no one else ever has. He could be her one fleeting act of rebellion before she’s matched with the powerful ruler her planet requires.

If they survive their current mission.

Their love is doomed. Their lifespans are at risk. This cyborg and his princess will need the help of every ally they have if they wish to see another sunrise.

Throwback Thursday – North Bound

By Cynthia Sax on November 7, 2024

North Bound features one of my all time favorite secondary characters – Steve, the male-eating plant ruler of an entire fraggin’ planet.

Steve doesn’t speak. At least not to humans, humanoids and cyborgs.

But he certainly can get his message across. And that message is everyone should respect him.

North, the cyborg hero of North Bound, believes beings should respect HIM also.

When these two alpha males meet…well…beings will die.

North Bound

A mission-focused cyborg battles a captivating and dramatic distraction.

***

North, the second-in-command of a cyborg crew, has two priorities—he has to explore and collect data on Balazoid Minor, a small planet in their sector, and he must bring his three-being team back to the ship alive and fully functional.

When he encounters his brash, bravado-wielding female, the one being genetically designed for him, he recognizes her for what she is—a distraction that might get him and his brethren killed. He WILL claim her, but only on his terms, when his mission is complete and everyone he is responsible for protecting is safe.

Myrina the Magnificent is the best warrior on her planet and possibly the universe. She has captured an unparalleled fourteen males for her all-female tribe. Once she has secured the fifteenth male, she will be a legend. Her name will live forever. She’ll earn the undying adoration of her sisters. Glory will be hers.

The male in her sights—and in her snare—is a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed cyborg with a skill for war and lips designed for kissing. One emotionally charged battle is all it takes for Myrina to realize she wants North for herself. She won’t share his caresses with anyone.

Their forbidden love might be destined to be, but it won’t be easy to maintain. Myrina will have to fight her sisters, an all-powerful male-eating plant, and her cyborg’s unbending will to make North hers and hers alone.

***

North Bound is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

Throwback Thursday – Dominance And Dissent

By Cynthia Sax on October 24, 2024

Dissent is a big tough cyborg…with a weakness for rescuing helpless creatures. He could crush a boulder with his bare hands yet he’s gentle and careful with the little beings he frees.

He is as gentle and careful with Greer, a human female, he has also freed. She is his genetic match and he would do anything to give her all that she wants.

She wants to travel far, far away from him and everyone else.

Dominance And Dissent

To earn the love of his curvy human, this cyborg will have to set her free.
***
Dissent has one primary mission—to find his female and protect her.

He doesn’t know who she is, where she’s situated, or what she looks like. That doesn’t stop him from searching the universe for her. He’s a cyborg and he’s determined. He WILL track her down.

While the J Model warrior is exploring a settlement on a merchant planet, he hears a defiant scream. Dissent has finally located the one being he’s genetically compatible with. He rushes to his little human’s side, ready and willing to defend her, eager to claim his female…forever.

Greer has only one dream—to be free. She’s been a slave her entire lifespan, has been subjected to soul-crushing abuse and pride-shredding humiliation. When an opportunity to escape presents itself, she takes it. Steps away from independence, she’s apprehended.

As she looks death in the face, waiting for the final strike, a tall, handsome cyborg warrior saves her. He exudes power, makes her tremble with desire, is unlike any of the males she’s ever known…except in one heartbreaking way.

He wants to own her.

As Dissent and Greer battle for dominance, danger looms. An enemy from the past has returned. He’s heavily armed, he’s not alone, and his sole goal is to kill both of them.
***
Dominance And Dissent is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features an overprotective cyborg, a defiant slave, and a ravenous baby creature who is determined to eat his way through an entire settlement.

Throwback Thursday – Doc’s Orders

By Cynthia Sax on October 17, 2024

Doc’s Orders is a tough story to read right now because it deals with a pandemic on an isolated planet and we’re currently living through a pandemic (or more than one) here on Earth.

Doc’s Orders was written before COVID. But that wasn’t due to me predicting COVID would happen.

I had merely done my research.

Pandemics, unfortunately, happen. Often.

They especially happen when isolated populations are exposed to travelers. Explorers killed millions of beings by exposing them to germs and viruses and other things they had never before that contact experienced.

This would happen with space travel also. And it DOES happen…in Doc’s Orders.

Doc’s Orders

She wants both sides of her cyborg—the medic AND the beast.


A fully functional cyborg is balanced. His machine half and his organic half work together to produce the perfect warrior.

Doc isn’t fully functional.

The G Model operates at the two extremes. When his machine is in complete control, he’s the logic-driven medic, saving lifespans. Once his organics take charge, he becomes the savage beast…and beings die.

Both sides of Doc want to be the first to claim his female.

Allinen is one of the few beings in her small settlement who wasn’t born with a fated mate. Determined to belong somewhere, she has crafted a plan to leave the planet.

That plan doesn’t involve a huge stormy-eyed male who alternates between cool seduction and out-of-control ravishment. Doc isn’t her fated mate. Allinen knows that. But his dual nature and forbidden embraces tempt her to forget forever and indulge in more immediate delights.

Neither side of Doc views their relationship as being temporary. Her conflicted cyborg is prepared to battle her family, her planet and death itself to keep her.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Return

By Cynthia Sax on October 10, 2024

I originally thought Ariq, the hero of Warlord’s Return, would fall in love with a very different being, a medic who practiced in the Refuge, the settlement featured in the Dark Thoughts/Refuge series.

Ariq wasn’t having any of that. (grins) His attention was immediately snagged by Xareni.

Because…of course, it was. SHE IS AWESOME. Frag. A mini dragon has adopted her. That’s how amazing she is.

Warlord’s Return

Ariq is a barbarian warrior seeking a war.

He locates that battle when he meets Xareni.

* * *

Ariq is one of Chamele’s top warriors. A genetic predisposition to fighting, paired with intensive training and experience, has honed the scarred male into an effective killing machine. He loves war, can’t live without combat.

The Succession Wars, however, have finally ended and the Chamele sector is now at peace. Seeking excitement and purpose, the barbarian warrior accompanies his Second to the Refuge, an outlaw settlement on Carinae E. He hopes to locate the battle he’s been craving there.

Ariq finds that conflict and more when he meets his fated mate.

Xareni owes the Ruler of the Refuge a favor. That’s the only reason she has returned to the settlement. She doesn’t like crowds or structures or a certain barbarian warrior who insists on following her everywhere. It doesn’t matter that there’s a connection between them, that he makes her burn with desire, that he looks at her with heat in his dark eyes.

She’s a monster and monsters don’t need anyone.

* * *

Warlord’s Return is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance featuring a determined barbarian warrior, an equally resolute human female, and an eyeball-eating mini dragon.

Throwback Thursday – Choosing Chuckles

By Cynthia Sax on October 3, 2024

If you like the grumpy/sunshine trope, Choosing Chuckles is the cyborg romance for you!

(grins)

Chuckles is a surly wounded warrior who secretly…cares. About almost everyone and especially the beings on the ship he serves on.

Bettina, aka Bait, uses her bubbly sunshine personae to trap baddies. She thinks Chuckles is one of those baddies.

Hmmm… I guess this is more of a grumpy/sunshine enemies to lovers story.

Choosing Chuckles

A Cynical Cyborg Meets A Bad, Bad Female.

Chuckles hates all humans. In the past, humans betrayed him. That treachery caused permanent damage to his muscular form, resulting in a lifespan of pain. 

When the primitive D Model cyborg answers a distress call sent by a pink-and-blue haired, sparkly human female, he knows it’s a trap. He still has to respond to her fake cry for help. She belongs to him, is the one being genetically fabricated for him. But he plans to be her captor, not her captive.

Bettina, aka Bait, works with a team of females, snaring sexual predators in space, seizing their ships and transporting them to primitive planets. As soon as she speaks with Chuckles, she knows he’s not like the others. He has honor, is a being worthy of respect, of caring. 

But she can’t let him go. She has to trap him. His dominance thrills her. His deep voice evokes desires she’d never experienced in the past. She’ll risk it all, breaking every rule for one wild encounter with the male she calls Sir.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Mercy

By Cynthia Sax on September 26, 2024

When I started writing The Chamele Barbarian Warlords series, I thought it would end after the third brother found romantic happiness. I thought they would defeat Tolui, the big baddie…permanently. He was slated to die.

I’m SO glad he wasn’t killed because he’s one of my favorite heroes I’ve ever written. He has valid reasons for doing what he’s doing. And he has his own sense of honor.

I love him. And I suspect you might love him also. (smiles)

Other Chameles view him as the enemy.

She sees the warrior hero he never believed he could be.

* * *

Tolui is a Warlord in search of a planet to rule. He has been leading his fellow clones in a stealth battle, fighting for both control of the Chamele sector and the right to exist. The brave warriors he commands warrant respect, and they deserve the best.

That best isn’t the barren, dangerous terrain on Chamele 4. When Tolui crashes on that planet’s surface, he’s determined to leave it as soon as possible. The tiny human female rescuing him might be as beautiful and as wild as the land she inhabits, but her flowing words, trusting gaze, and enthralling submission won’t stop him from rejoining the war.

After many solar cycles of living alone, Lea is overjoyed when a tall, scarred, muscular warrior falls from the sky. Her savage stranger is strong and severe, and he makes her feel safe, an emotion she hasn’t experienced in a long, long time.

He also insists they must part. Before they do, she’ll show him the splendor of her home, and she’ll enjoy his big form, collecting passionate moments she can revisit when she’s solitary once more.

Every additional moment Lea and Tolui spend together increases the chance they’ll both die. Lea is being chased by female-hating fiends. Tolui is being hunted by the best bounty hunters in the universe. War will soon arrive on their threshold, and the blood spilled might be their own.

* * *

Warlord’s Mercy is based on a much shorter story sharing the same title.

It is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance featuring a villain turned hero and a brave, chatty heroine set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

Warlord’s Mercy is the fifth of six core stories in the Chamele Barbarian Warlord series.

Throwback Thursday – The Cyborg’s Secret Baby

By Cynthia Sax on September 19, 2024

The action in The Cyborg’s Secret Baby starts before the action in Releasing Rage.

Stealth doesn’t realize cyborgs have genetic matches, beings they’re destined to love. All he processes is he would die for his human female.

And, after they are parted, Zebrina believes he has done exactly that. She thinks the love of her life has perished in battle, leaving her with a gift she would do anything to protect.

The Cyborgs Secret Baby Cyborg Romance


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 – Warlord Reunited

By Cynthia Sax on September 12, 2024

Fated mates, couples (or more) destined to be together, rarely part after they meet. They are compelled to be together. They’re happiest when they’re situated near each other. They have no interest in being with other beings.

It would take an extreme situation for them to go their separate ways.

Many solar cycles ago, Berke faced an extreme situation. He parted from Elle, his fated mate, with no warning and no explanation.

Now, Elle has decided to make that parting permanent. She plans to end their relationship…and Berke’s lifespan.

Warlord Reunited

This barbarian warrior’s cold demeanor hides the warmest of hearts.
* * *
Solar cycles ago, Berke, a savage Chamele Warlord, found his gerel, the one being he is destined to be with for all time…except he couldn’t embrace that fate. He was fighting a series of brutal wars.

To protect his little human female, he conveyed her far from the Chamele sector. He then returned to the endless battles, concealing his pain, his anguish, his need, under a thick layer of ice.

His gerel was safe. That was all that mattered to him.

When Elle was a young bounty hunter, she bonded with an arrogant warrior on a distant planet. She was deliriously happy…for a while. Then he dumped her in a strange settlement far from his home and left, never to return.

Their parting caused her excruciating pain—both physical and emotional. She endured it, earned the esteemed role of head bounty hunter of an academy, salvaged a bit of a life from the disaster her primitive warrior had made of it.

Now, two of her bounty hunters have made the same terrible mistake. Elle is determined to rescue her friends and break their connections with their Chamele Warlords.

While she is in the sector, she plans to kill the warrior she’d once considered hers. Elle is ending her relationship with Berke…permanently.
