Under Strain And The Heroine’s Name

By Cynthia Sax on April 28, 2021

The human heroine in Under Strain, the next Rebel Cyborgs story (releasing soon!), is named Kamyelle.

As happens with many of the heroines in my stories, she was named after a beloved reader. If you reach out to me and you have a cool name, beware! I will likely steal it (letting you know first) and I’ll use it in a story. Your namesake will be paired with a sexy cyborg or alien. (grins) That is the price of being my buddy!

I didn’t find much information on Kamyelle on name sites. There was conflicting information about its origins and about the name’s meaning…which I thought was very apt for Strain’s female. Kamyelle in Under Strain has been forced to hide for solar cycles. She has ‘disappeared.’ For safety reasons, she tells other beings as little about herself and her kind as possible.

Until Strain arrives. (smiles)

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.
