Throwback Thursday – Testing Truth
Testing Truth is one of my lighter-in-tone cyborg romances.
Truth is a chaos-creating cyborg. He doesn’t take much seriously. Nancy, his human female, is a princess seeking to save her brother. Her entourage is…well…they are as chaotic as Truth is. (grins)
Testing Truth has some serious moments but it is fun. And don’t we all need more fun in our lives?
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 – Defying Death
Death and Tifara, the cyborg hero and human heroine of Defying Death, might seem, at first glance, to have tremendously different outlooks on life.
He’s a warrior. She’s a medic with a focus on infectious diseases.
He’s a cyborg. She’s a human.
But, when we get to know them, we realize they are more alike personality-wise than different.
Death is keenly focused on one task – finding and claiming his female. He is willing to give up his lifespan for one moment with Tifara.
Tifara is willing to give up her lifespan to find cures for infectious diseases, to save lives. She is very much focused on that task…to the point of obsession.
When she meets Death, for the first time in her lifespan, her attention is…diverted. (grins)
Defying Death
He’ll risk it all for one moment of happiness.
Cyborgs don’t show emotion. Death learned that lesson early in his long lifespan. To survive, he hides his fierce passions behind a stoic wall. He calls no warrior friend. He never admits to caring for any being.
Even the human female he’s destined to love.
Tifara is Death’s obsession, his sole opportunity for happiness, to express the all-consuming passion burning brightly inside him. He’ll do anything to obtain the curvaceous medic: defy a direct order, abduct Tifara from her battle station, and wage war on his fellow cyborgs.
To earn her love, he’ll have to risk much, much more.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Strength
I absolutely LOVE Balvan.
The HUGE green giant of a gatekeeper at the Refuge is complicated…as many beings are. He loves to crush the skulls of his enemies under his big boot heels. But he also loves to rescue and care for small wounded creatures. He is so very gentle with them.
As he is gentle with Elyce, his wounded yet small human female. They are wonderful together!
Dark Strength
The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall.
Balvan, the Refuge’s Gatekeeper, is huge, green, and has a reputation for crushing skulls. He’s a modified humanoid, genetically designed to be the ultimate warrior. One of a kind and considered monstrous by many, he never expects to find his mate, the one female meant for him.
Elyce, snatched from her home half a solar cycle ago, has finally escaped her brutal captors. She arrives at the Refuge barely alive. Only a blood transfusion from the largest male she has ever seen will save her life. But it will also bind her to him forever. Staring up, up, up at him, she wonders why she wants to be free. His gentle touch revives yearnings she thought dead. His lips set her skin ablaze. His massive muscles make her feel safe.
That feeling could be an illusion. Elyce’s captors want their slave back and they won’t stop until they have her. To give his mate her freedom, Balvan might be forced to give up everything he has – his role as the Gatekeeper, Elyce’s love, and his life.
Dark Strength is a STANDALONE Alien SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes violent universe.

Throwback Thursday – Crash And Burn
Crash And Burn is the toughest story I’ve ever written.
It was necessary for the series. The events in Raw Desires wouldn’t have happened if the events in Crash And Burn hadn’t occurred. Gap’s situation changed how every cyborg warrior viewed their lifespans and searched for their potential genetic matches.
But it is definitely a three tissue read.
In my stories, main couples (and more) will always receive their happy EVER afters. Other characters are at risk.
I hope never to write another story like Crash And Burn, however. I’m still recovering, years later, from the experience. (sheepish grin) It was…a LOT.
Crash was manufactured to be one of the best warriors in the universe. The cyborg has spent many human lifespans fighting the enemy. But, unlike his battle-loving brethren, he doesn’t enjoy killing. When he escapes the Humanoid Alliance, he vows to never end another life.
Then he meets Safyre, an infuriating human female, and he considers breaking his vow.
Safyre will do anything to save her friend, the being she loves like a sister. She’ll ravish a huge hunky cyborg, kiss his best friend, and invoke scorching hot desires the male never realized he could feel. Dark soulful eyes, a quick wit, and a tempestuous passion won’t divert her from her mission.
Love, and a planet-destroying weapon, however, might stop her permanently.

Throwback Thursday – Breathing Vapor
Breathing Vapor is the second story in my first published cyborg series and it has a bit of a different feel from Releasing Rage, the first story.
The main reason for this is…Rage is a C Model, one of the earliest cyborg models developed, and Vapor is a K Model, one of the most advanced cyborg models developed. They are at different ends of the evolutionary spectrum.
And I wanted to show that. I wanted to show the vast differences between the cyborg models.
I also love Vapor and I love Mira, his curvy human female target…and destined genetic match. They are awesome on their own but they are especially wonderful together.
Breathing Vapor
Vapor is the most advanced cyborg the Humanoid Alliance has ever developed. He’s a finely honed weapon, a warrior without parallel, half man and half machine. No lock can contain him. No being can stop him. Whatever he wants, he takes.
He wants Mira Breazeal, the Designer’s daughter.
She’s his one temptation, his sexy target. Vapor shouldn’t crave her caresses, steal her kisses, make her scream with ecstasy. The cyborgs want her dead and they would question his loyalty if he didn’t kill her. The humans would shoot him on sight if he dared to touch her.
Their love is forbidden. Their desire could be lethal. One human and one cyborg will risk everything for a moment of passion.

Throwback Thursday – B Free
B is a VERY old, VERY primitive warrior. He has known loss – loss of everyone he trained with, matured with, cared for. He is the last of his kind.
Or so he believes.
He intercepts a message that implies another B Model has been located.
When he tracks down the sender of that message, he discovers something even more miraculous – he has found his genetic match, a female who makes him feel like a newly manufactured cyborg.
Unfortunately, she is surrounded by the undead.
B Free
B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.
Or so he believes.
When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.
What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.
Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.
When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.
She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.
Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.
***
B Free is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features the sole surviving B Model cyborg warrior, a courageous researcher seeking to uncover the past, and an unplanned visit to a settlement ruled by an extremely scary all-knowing, all-powerful being.

Throwback Thursday – Baring Grudge
Cyborgs were often decommissioned, killed by the Humanoid Alliance, their manufacturers, if they weren’t fully functional, if they had any defects, including mismatched limbs.
Grudge is well aware of this reality. His limbs don’t match.
He lives life to the fullest, knowing if he is ever retaken by the Humanoid Alliance, he will die.
Then he meets a human female and her young humanoid female protégé. And they show him his faults are truly his greatest strengths.
Baring Grudge
No one in the universe is more determined than a cyborg warrior tracking his female.
***
Grudge, a C Model cyborg, has been assigned a mission – safeguard a Humanoid Alliance space station for his kind. Honor was once all he had, and he is determined to fulfill his duty.
That resolve is tested when a tiny human female enters the space station and sets the prettiest little explosives the warrior has ever seen. She is Grudge’s genetic match, the one being manufactured for him. He wants to touch her, kiss her, claim her in all ways, but first he has to stop her from blasting him into the next galaxy.
Taelyn has a self-appointed mission—to destroy every battle robot the Humanoid Alliance has ever manufactured. A huge gray-skinned, blue-eyed cyborg warrior with mismatched arms won’t prevent her from achieving her goal. She’ll escape him, leaving destruction in her wake.
Before she departs, she’ll experience one toe-curling moment of hatred-edged passion with her handsome foe. She’ll show him how skilled with detonations she truly is. He will have his universe rocked.
Then she’ll disappear.
Her cyborg, however, has no intention of ever letting her go.
***
Baring Grudge is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a determined, damaged warrior, an equally resolute human female, and an explosive game of predator and prey played across galaxies.

Throwback Thursday – Under Strain
Being enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance and forced to do terrible things has impacted the cyborgs. Some of them are broken and will likely never be fully functional.
Strain is one of those warriors. He has a cyborg version of PTSD and he doesn’t trust himself. He definitely doesn’t feel he’s safe to be around fragile humans.
Kamyelle isn’t fragile but she IS human. She is intent on rescuing him, not knowing that the real danger is Strain.
Under Strain
A damaged cyborg warrior is hunted by a peace-loving human female.
***
Strain is severely malfunctioning. The D Model cyborg was the sole survivor after a horrific decision was made by his cruel manufacturers. He hates all humans, and when he attacks one who is under his cyborg leader’s protection, he is reprimanded, stripped of his weapons, and told to watch and not actively participate in the next mission.
That mission takes place on a small remote planet. Its lush terrain should only be inhabited by the cyborgs they were sent to rescue, but Strain senses another presence on the surface. She is watching him, tracking him, hunting him.
A fully operational cyborg would end her lifespan.
Strain wants to claim her. Forever.
Kamyelle is the only one left of her kind. Warriors have killed the other nonviolent human inhabitants of her planet. She survived…barely…by hiding in the trees, observing her enemies, and covering herself with lifeform scan-concealing mud.
When a handsome, gray-skinned, brilliant-blue-eyed male arrives, surrounded by weapon-carrying warriors, she has to save him. Warriors harm and they kill. That is what they do.
She won’t allow them to hurt Strain.
***
Under Strain is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a broken warrior, a human female who thinks he’s perfect, and velociraptor-like dinosaurs who view them both as light, tasty snacks.

Throwback Thursday – Containing Malice
If I was to choose a newer cyborg romance release that was most similar to Releasing Rage, I’d pick Containing Malice.
Malice was transferred to an underground laboratory many human lifespans ago. He doesn’t know about the mass cyborg rebellion. He doesn’t know cyborg have genetic matches. He doesn’t know they can manufacture offspring with these genetic matches.
He doesn’t have hope.
Malice merely wants to free himself and his best buddy, Valor, from the torture they’ve been enduring.
At the hands of Illona, the human female he has confusing feelings around. She is another victim of the Humanoid Alliance but he doesn’t yet realize that.
All he knows is he wants to kill her.
He also wants to kiss her.
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.

Throwback Thursday – Testing Truth
I think of Testing Truth as a fairytale in space. (grins) There’s an unlikely human princess, Nancy, and an even more unlikely cyborg prince, Truth, and they undertake an extremely dangerous mission together.
This story is also very much about found family.
Truth has, of course, his brethren. And they ARE his brothers in every sense other than biological.
Princess Nancy has her entourage. They give her the love her Royal biological family can’t provide.
These two unique beings then find each other. (smiles)
I hope you know you are part of my found family. (big hugs) You aren’t alone this holiday season. I am merely an email away.
Testing Truth
A fun-loving cyborg gets serious about love.
