Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Return
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 – Warlord’s Mercy
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.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Reunited
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.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Unarmed
The Chamele Barbarian Warlords series features…you guessed it… barbarian warlords. You wouldn’t think barbarians would be skilled with technology.
But, of course, if they are traveling by spaceship from planet to planet, a feat humans haven’t yet accomplished, they WOULD be skilled in technology.
And Murad, the hero of Warlord Unarmed, is EXTREMELY skilled in all things technical.
That doesn’t help him much when he crashes on a planet with his human female, however.
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
Khan, the alien Warlord hero of Warlord’s Bounty, is the character that inspired the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series. He is named, of course, after perhaps the most famous warlord in history – Genghis Khan. The Chamele language is a nod to Mongolian also.
Zeta, the human bounty hunter heroine, is a worthy match for a warlord. (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
I think of Warlord Sky as my bot story.
Nayan, the heroine, is a gifted engineer and she has designed some of the cutest bots in the universe. They all have unique personalities and quirks and I love them so much.
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
It is apt that this week’s Throwback Thursday pick is Dark Cure as Claiming Cure is my next release.
Cure, the cyborg, doesn’t appear in Dark Cure.
I chose the title, Dark Cure, before I met him.
And I never thought Cure, the cyborg, would have his own story.
But he DOES have his own story.
And now the two titles are super confusing. Oops! Sorry about that!
Dark Cure is not directly connected to Claiming Cure.
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.
Dark Cure is a STANDALONE SciFi Romance set in a gritty, dark world.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Mercy
Tolui is the baddie of the first four stories in the Chamele Barbarian Warlords series. He does and is responsible for some bad things. He and his warriors are waging war against the Chameles.
They have a good reason for doing this.
In Warlord’s Mercy, we uncover that reason. And we realize that…
Some villains deserve love also.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Reunited
I haven’t written many second chance at love romances.
The reason for this is my heroes and heroines all fall in love at first sight or are fated to mate.
Because that’s the type of love I know. The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I fell in love at first sight and over two decades later, we’re still very much in love. (smiles)
Berke and Elle, the alien hero and human heroine of Warlord Reunited, are also fated mates. Berke recognizes Elle as his gerel immediately. She is the light to his darkness.
Then he sends her away. He has, he believes, a good reason for doing this. But, to ensure she stays away, he allows her to think he doesn’t care about her anymore.
This angers Elle as in she-wants-to-literally-kill-him levels of angry. And when she’s given a reason to return to Berke’s planet, she decides she’ll act on that fury.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord Unarmed
Murad, the barbarian hero of Warlord Unarmed, is a skilled warrior. That’s merely not the thing he does best. He’s gifted in wielding technology. He loves it and he uses it to protect his planet.
When he crashes with his human female on an isolated part of the planet, however, he can’t use technology to keep them alive.
I loved seeing this tech-focused hero struggle and then thrive in tech-empty terrain!
