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.
* * *
Warlord’s Bounty is based on a much shorter story sharing the same title.
(If you already have the shorter story, please contact me.)
It is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes violent universe.

Books That Need A Prequel
Today’s blogging challenge from Long and Short Reviews is to talk about books we feel need a prequel i.e. another book set BEFORE the book we’d enjoyed. (See all of the blog posts on this subject here – http://www.longandshortreviews.com/category/miscellaneous-musings/ )
I’ll start with my own books. Of all of my books, I think Dark Thoughts deserves a prequel…except it wouldn’t be romance (and that is all I write). I’d love to write more about Kralj and the other modified humanoids’ time with the Humanoid Alliance, how they all met (can you imagine other modified humanoids meeting Kralj for the first time, not knowing anything about his powers?), how they escaped. There would be humor and action and, I suspect, quite a bit of blood (and, in Balvan’s case, skull crushing).
I think the prequel to Laurann Dohner’s Ral’s Woman would be very similar. Ral and his brethren are skilled warriors. The battle to enslave them must have been fierce. There COULD have been a tragic romantic storyline. Perhaps a paired warrior was separated from his female, forced to leave her, to spend years not knowing what she was doing, if she was alive. The likelihood of that happening is quite high.
Loretta Chase’s Lord Of Scoundrels, my benchmark book (and yes, a historical romance – benchmark books don’t have to be within the same subgenre), definitely warrants a prequel. Jess’ Grandmother is a firecracker, very much like Jess. We get hints in the book about the vivid life she is leading and must have led in the past, the men she had charmed, the unconventional things she had done. Again, her story might not be a romance but wow, it would be fascinating.
I’d read the heck out of any vampire novel’s prequel. Anne Rice has shown us how fascinating those can be. Vampires have lived such long, action-filled lives. Cyborgs and other near-immortals are similar. The cyborgs in my stories were manufactured for battle. They have huge databases filled with war stories.
What books do you think need a prequel? Would that prequel be in the same genre or niche?

Can love redeem a monster?
The Refuge is home to some of the most violent beings in the universe. Kralj, its leader, reigns over the remote outpost with terrifying ease, ruthlessly squashing any rumors of rebellion, killing anyone who breaks his rules. Primitive, deadly, powerful, he’s a monster, scarred both on his face and his soul. He has never met a being he couldn’t control.
Until he meets her.
Dita has one mission—to kill the three targets claiming sanctuary within the Refuge. Or so she claims. For the first time in his long lifespan, Kralj isn’t certain of another being’s intentions. The tiny assassin is immune to his powers, her thoughts unreadable. He can’t predict her movements, can’t control her, can’t stop wanting her.
Dita is rare, as unique as he is, and, to keep the residents of the Refuge safe, Kralj will have to kill her. But first, he’ll touch her, taste her, show her how passionate the beast inside him can be.
Dark Thoughts is a STAND-ALONE SciFi Romance.
The hero might be tall, dark, and scarred but don’t be fooled by his appearance.
He’s truly a monster.
This story is not for readers with delicate sensibilities.

Dark Fire
What the Beast wants, the Beast gets.
Dare’s savage nature has made him an outcast among his kind. The silver-scaled Dracheon warrior can’t control his inner beast. It’s too strong. When his primitive instincts told him his destined mate was on Carinae E, he had no choice. He had to travel to the outlaw planet. There, he hoped to meet a female powerful enough to survive his Drache.
He finds Faylee, a delicate little human.
Faylee is the best thief on the planet. Everyone she encounters mistakes her for a young boy…except for a tall, shiny warrior from off-planet. When she gazes into Dare’s flame-filled eyes, he makes her feel, for the first time, like a desirable female. The fire-breathing male has her yearning for hot kisses, fierce embraces, and a future filled with love. She doesn’t realize mating with him might be the last thing she ever does.
Dare’s beast isn’t the only danger on the planet. An enemy from the past has returned and he’s determined to stop Dare and Faylee…permanently. They’ll need luck and the assistance of every warrior in the Refuge to stay alive.
Dark Fire is a STANDALONE SciFi Romance set in a gritty, dark world.

Dark Thoughts – Violent, bloody, gory, and … cute?
Woot!
Monique at Fresh Fiction reviewed Dark Thoughts and she loved it!
Here’s a snippet…
“DARK THOUGHTS is extremely dark: after all, we’re talking about two killers here, and yet, because of Dita, it is fun, light, sweet, because she truly is. Nothing fazes her, and she is one of the most innovative literary creations I have ever read.”

Dark Thoughts And Regency Dukes
I’m talking about Dark Thoughts, Heroes Who EAT Their Enemies, Ral From Laurann Dohner’s Ral’s Woman, and Regency Dukes at Kayelle Allen’s online home today.
https://romancelivesforever.blogspot.ca/2017/04/cynthia-sax.html
Here’s a snippet…
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m writing the follow up story to Dark Thoughts (releasing in July). The hero will be Orol, Kralj’s winged second-in-command. He has been given a solo mission. His heroine, of course, isn’t cooperating with that mission. (grins) It is never easy for our heroes, is it?

Why I Read SciFi Romance
I’m talking about why I love SciFi Romance at Imogene Nix’s online home!
http://www.imogenenix.net/the-blog/have-you-considered-trying-why-you-should-try-new-romance-genres
Here’s a snippet…
“Then there’s the blowing up of spaceships and planets. Nothing is more relaxing after a long stressful day than fictional destruction. (grins) I can’t think of another subgenre that allows a reader to experience a planet being blasted to bits. A hero killing a baddie is satisfying. Sure. A hero killing and EATING his enemies (as Kralj does in Dark Thoughts) is glorious.”
