Throwback Thursday – Doc’s Orders

By Cynthia Sax on April 23, 2026

Doc’s Orders deals with a pandemic on an alien planet caused by visitors to that planet.

It was written long before COVID happened.

I felt this key aspect of space travel, heck, of ANY travel had to be addressed. Visitors spread illness. And sometimes those illnesses are unique to the local population. That can cause a pandemic.

Thankfully, the locals on the alien planet in Doc’s Orders have Doc, a skilled cyborg medic, and Allinen, a local with an interest in healing, to help them deal with their pandemic.

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 April 9, 2026

It takes a special being to befriend a mini dragon.

Dragons are fierce and solitary and they don’t show affection to many folks.

Xareni, the human heroine of Warlord’s Return, is a special being. She’s tough. She’s honorable. And she’s a little bit broken.

As is Ariq, the alien warrior who is determined to win Xareni’s affections.

To do that, he has to convince her mini dragon he’s not their next meal.

(grins)

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 – Warlord’s Mercy

By Cynthia Sax on March 26, 2026

If you love a hot-as-summer-sands-under-your-bare-feet villain turned hero story, Warlord’s Mercy is the alien romance for you!

Tolui, the hero of Warlord’s Mercy, is the big baddie in the previous stories in the series. And he does some not-so-great things. He is truly trying to defeat the Warlord Brothers.

But he has a good reason, a heroic reason for trying to do this.

He more than earns his romantic happy ever after with Lea.

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.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Reunited

By Cynthia Sax on March 12, 2026

Berke, the alien Warlord hero of Warlord Reunited, is an eldest brother and he takes his responsibilities, especially the duty of protecting others, extremely seriously.

He willingly sacrifices his own happiness and health to ensure his gerel, his human fated mate, is safeguarded.

Elle, his gerel, doesn’t know this.

And she is very, VERY angry about the tactics he has undertaken to protect her.

Killing-levels of angry.

(grins)

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.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Unarmed

By Cynthia Sax on February 26, 2026

Gale, the human bounty hunter heroine of Warlord Unarmed, is…well…some unkind beings might call her a hoarder but she prefers to think of herself as a collector.

She collects broken items loved ones have discarded.

She was discarded as a child because she was ‘broken’ and doesn’t want that to happen to anything or anyone else.

Murad, the tech-loving alien barbarian hero, would be quite happy if Gale collected him.

(grins)

Warlord Unarmed

Protected by the Barbarian Warrior
* * *
Murad, a technology-loving Chamele Warlord, has to track down and eliminate a rogue warrior before that male ends Murad’s reign. Permanently.

When a pieced-together wreck of a ship enters the sector without authorization, Murad assumes it is piloted by an ally of his enemy and decides to blow the battered vessel out of open space.

Then he hears the voice of its sole occupant and his orders and his priorities immediately shift. The captain of the ship is his gerel, the one female he’s genetically compatible with—the light to his darkness, his future, his everything.

He will protect her…even if it costs him his life.

Bounty hunter Gale doesn’t want or need protection. She has entered Chamele space on a rescue mission. A tall, muscular, half-naked barbarian with humor-lit eyes and gentle hands won’t distract her from that purpose, no matter what he tries.

A broken ship and an enemy focused on revenge do interfere with her plans. Gale’s goal changes from saving a friend to saving herself. The only being who can increase her chances of survival is the one Warlord she can’t resist.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Bounty

By Cynthia Sax on February 12, 2026

All three of the Warlord brothers ruling the Chamele sector are skilled warriors.

Khan, the hero of Warlord’s Bounty, however is the best fighter on the battlefield. He is strong and fierce and he prefers action over words.

Zeta, the human heroine, is determined to collect the big bounty on his primitive head.

(grins)

Warlord’s Bounty

Wanted: One Barbarian Warrior.

The bigger the bounty, the more dangerous the target.

Khan, a Chamele Warlord, has a huge bounty on his head. His enemy wants him captured and is offering any being in the universe an outrageous number of credits to accomplish that.

Khan wants to be captured, but only if the being apprehending him is a tiny, brown-eyed female with wickedly sharp daggers and an even sharper tongue. His passion for the feisty human can’t be inhibited by restraints. He’ll allow her to subdue him…in a variety of enticing ways.

When she finally collects her credits, he’ll collect his revenge, killing his enemy and claiming his little bounty hunter forever.

Zeta doesn’t do forever. After a lifespan of chasing dangerous beings across galaxies, apprehending and trading them for credits, she doesn’t get involved emotionally…with anyone.

Khan might be fierce and sexy and the most dominant male she has ever encountered, but the barbarian is also her target, and once she sates herself with his body, she’ll betray him.

That’s her job.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Sky

By Cynthia Sax on January 29, 2026

Qulpa loves to fly. He is one of the best Chamele pilots and likely one of the best pilots ANYWHERE in the universe.

Until a tragic crash robs him of his ability to take the controls.

His only hope is Nayan, a brilliant engineer…and his in-deep-denial-of-their-destiny fated mate.

Warlord Sky

No one grounds a barbarian warrior.

Qulpa, a Chamele warrior, lost everyone he loved in the brutal Succession Wars. Flying is the only thing that brings him joy. Serving as his team’s pilot is the sole duty he has left. Then a horrific crash leaves him injured and unable to fly.

The one being who can help him is also his gerel, the female destined to be his. She insists she doesn’t feel their connection. Qulpa is certain his beautiful mate is lying and nothing will stop him from finding out why.

Nayan knows the injured barbarian is her warrior, her one chance at a forever bond. His dominance makes her feel safe. His gentle touch inflames her passion. His kisses scorch her very soul. The tall muscular male tempts her as no one else has.

But she has a deadly secret. If it’s exposed, her injured male will lose more than his ability to fly. Both of them will die. She can’t take that risk, not for him, not for them, not for a lifespan filled with love.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Cure

By Cynthia Sax on January 15, 2026

Gisella, the female human medic at the Refuge, works hard.

She decides, after one extremely frustrating and tiring day, to play equally hard by having a no-strings-attached hot-as-the-sand-dunes one night passionfest with a hunky visiting barbarian warrior.

Oghul, that hunky visiting barbarian warrior, wants more than one night with his little medic. And he wants strings. No, not simply strings. He wants to bind them together with all the force of the universe.

Gisella is his gerel, his fated mate, and he doesn’t plan to ever let her go.

Dark Cure Alien Romance

A warrior seeking forever faces a medic living in the moment.

Gisella, the Refuge’s medic, is dedicated to her role. She doesn’t have the space in her lifespan for love, a mate, or children. Healing is her entire focus.

But she’s also a female in her prime. She has needs, wants, cravings…especially for a scarred, long-haired barbarian warrior temporarily residing in the settlement. One fierce, soul-blasting, passion-filled encounter is all she is willing to give him before she returns to her duties.

Oghul, a Chamele Warlord’s Second-In-Command, has waited his entire lifespan to find his gerel, the being fated to be his. He’s thrilled to discover she wants him as savagely as he yearns for her.

His little human medic appeals to his primitive possessive side. Greatly. He wants to stamp his ownership all over her bountiful curves, take her back to his home planet, claim his fiery female permanently.

When Carinae E’s solitary sun rises, two determined beings with very different desires find their lifespans entwined. Their battle for emotional supremacy will span systems and alter destinies.

The universe will never be the same.

Lust By Moonbeam

Cathy arrives at Moonbeam, the Roswell of the North, with one goal—to prove the mysterious dead tree circles are not caused by UFOs. Meeting a devastatingly handsome lumberjack with unusual blue and green eyes is a bonus.

He thinks he’s an alien.

That doesn’t bother Cathy. She can tolerate a little strangeness in a one-night stand, especially since Rellec claims her body as no sane man ever has—with the hungry touch of forever.

Rellec arrives at Moonbeam with one goal—to retrieve his destined mate, ensuring the continuation of his species. Having trained long and hard for his passion-filled mission, he is determined to claim his tiny human.

Failure is not an option.

Ravished By Moonbeam

When Officer Danielle smacks a hunky alien with her police cruiser, she suspects her black-and-green perp is up to no good.

She shoots him. He grins.

She hunts him down. He captures her, seducing her on a bed of pine needles.

And she’s never felt so alive.

Krol is Sila’s best warrior. He’s rough and tough and he knows a fragile human female can’t handle his true nature.

To win his mate and ensure the continuation of his species, he attempts to be the gentle male he believes she needs.

Then his Danielle tries to terminate him, and he discovers Earth women aren’t as dainty as they appear.


In Ravished By Moonbeam, the heroine harbors VERY dark suspicions regarding the hero.

Plans For 2026

By Cynthia Sax on December 27, 2025

2026 is just around the corner.

That’s wild, isn’t it? (shakes head and grins) Time whizzes along.

2026, writing-wise, will be all about my Super Secret Project, which will be published under a different pen name. This will be my new writing. And it is all about having fun.

I might also republish a few more past Cynthia Sax stories, like the second Moonbeam 2 story collection and maybe some of my short stories.

But, mostly, my focus will be on non-writing projects.

There’s a lot happening in the world right now. And a lot of people need help.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I want to do more, especially regarding feeding people. We plan to volunteer at food banks, volunteer in community gardens, and take other actions.

What are your plans for 2026?
