Instead, she found adventure with a sexy alien seeking his mate and a once-in-a-lifetime chance for a cosmic love… Recovering from a traumatic concussion, Zoe Nazario fears she’ll never trust her own senses again. So when she stumbles over a shiny chrome cube, she laughs off its chirpy announcement that she’s the lucky bride of an alien prince. Aliens? Love? Yeah, no. Better to be dazed and confused—and alone—than desperately delusional. Sinclarion “Sin” Fifth-Moon Jax feels most at home roaming the infinite stars with his cybernetic enhancements and princely privilege to protect his misfit spaceship crew. But his imperial great-grandmother, despairing of his free-flying ways, demands he settle down to claim his solar system inheritance—and the Big Sky Intergalactic Dating Agency has already identified his perfect match in Sunset Falls, Montana, Earth! Grudgingly resigned to seizing the woman of his destiny, Sin instead gets an innocent Earther girl—who rejects him utterly. But when he realizes an interstellar menace is stalking his reluctant bride, he can’t just leave her behind…even if his five mating rings threaten to lock with desire when she’s near. The small-town Earther girl and the arrogant alien prince must join forces to survive a vast and treacherous universe, but what happens when they find that Sin’s inheritance might be a lie—and so is his perfect match with Zoe? RED SHIFT Unmated drakling shifters are one of the hottest threats in the universe, as everyone knows…everyone except this one drakling with amnesia and the innocent Earther girl trapped with him! Banished from his homeworld for refusing a mate that would tame his fiery beast, Honey the drakling followed his wandering prince into battle and then—more terrifying yet—into courtship. But then espresso-induced amnesia leaves him marooned in the backwater wilds of Big Sky Country, Montana, Earth, lost and alone but for a female with hair as dark as the night skies and hidden sparks in her eyes. Tisha Beauchamp just wanted a weekend in her granny’s remote cabin with her girlfriends to figure out her life plan. No one said a thing about an early snowstorm or invading aliens! And now she’s stuck in the mountains by herself—until her one-woman pity party gets crashed by a wild, red-haired man with no memories, strange dragon-ish tattoos, and a scorching touch… Though he has forgotten his name, his beast, and the freedom of space, the feverish urge to claim Tisha grows stronger with every night under the pale light of Earth’s solitary moon. But if he finds his way back to his ship and himself, how can he burn forever with his bold, bright Earther girl? DARK MATTER While it is a verifiable reality that the universe is vast and strange, no one in all those lightyears could ever love an emotionless, soul-sucking space vampire. Unless there are deeper truths out there somewhere… The secretive, ancient species of the vrykoly were designed to pilot the deathly cold distances of space, and Ivan has never known anything else; even his dreams have always been black and empty. Though he guides the Sinner’s Prayer to a neglected little planet to find brides from the Intergalactic Dating Agency, Ivan dispassionately considers bonding and mating to be irrational pursuits. But when his captain and first officer find incandescent love with the extraordinary females of Earth, this vrykoly is forced to wonder if he was—dare he say it?—wrong. After the tragic death of her first love, Montana river guide Delaney Nazario thought she’d be alone forevermore. So she quietly signed up with the Big Sky matchmaking outpost in Sunset Falls, hoping an alien will whisk her away. Instead it was her two roommates who found their mates—also staving off an attack by interstellar mercenaries trying to kidnap Earth women. Now Del is being guarded by a silent, hulking, scary vrykoly—who might be the only being in the universe she could never, ever date. But while there are deeper truths in the universe, there is also secret menace. And Big Sky’s only hope is a space vampire who’s never felt anything and an Earther girl who feels too much.

Rayna Quaye, hard-headed, hard-working Earth girl, wouldn't have believed it. But when she wakes up on an abandoned space station orbiting a black hole many, lightyears from home, she gets a crash course in such extraterrestrial inconveniences. Speaking of inconveniences… His Grace, Aelazar Amrazal Thorkonos, Duke of Azthronos, has enough problems on his interplanetary plate. His inherited solar system is in debt, his mother wants to marry him off, and now Raz has to rescue some baffled back-world female. But then the Black Holes Brides are bequeathed the salvaged space station. Faster than light, Rayna has fortune hunters after her. Conveniently, the Duke of Azthronos has an engaging idea… THE INTERSTELLAR RAKE’S IRRESISTIBLE KISS Imprisoned on an abandoned space station, Trixie Boudreaux prayed for just one chance to escape…and she failed. When she and the other Black Hole Brides are rescued, she’s left adrift between the coward she was and the new universe ahead of her. If only she had a guide she could trust… Nor irThorkonos paid good galactic credits for his captain’s commission on the flagship dreadnaught, and how many erstwhile interplanetary pirates have come as far? If he has a secret that the Azthrnos nobles mustn’t discover, well, certainly one skittish Earther girl won’t be the one to find him out. But when interstellar imprisonment can’t hold an old evil, Trixie and Nor must save not only the worlds of Azthronos but each other. THE INTERDIMENSIONAL LORD’S EARTHLY DELIGHT After a bad divorce, Lishelle Lewis was finally ready to put herself out there. She just had no idea how far out there.

At least she has a big wedding where she’s a bridesmaid to distract her. Now she just needs a date for the wedding… But there are more powerful forces at play in the universe than quantum entanglement and buttercream frosting. And Lishelle, who has always kept a piece of her heart locked away, will have to open herself—mind, body, and soul—to the chance of a love bigger than galaxies, deeper than space, and more consuming than any black hole.

The Great Space Race: Team Prism FREE FALL Scarred by life, Amy Long finally found peace in quiet Sunset Falls, Montana…until a malfunctioning popcorn popper transports her across the universe to the Great Space Race. Now if she ever wants to return to Earth, she has to pretend to be the famous intergalactic explorer who was supposed to be half of Team Prism, searching for the legendary Firestorm Queen’s Prism. Can this unsuspecting Earther wrap her head around a universe of aliens and adventure? Maybe by wrapping her arms around the uptight but sexy drakling male who is her teammate? Luc Amaveo of the Flamewalker Clan just needs a treasure. Any treasure, even the imaginary one teased by the Great Space Race. Every drakling needs a treasure to prove himself, and being a respectable transgalactic accountant doesn’t count with his raucous clan. If he can take the Great Space Race prize to his twelve older brothers’ mating ceremonies, maybe they’ll finally stop trying to make him into something he’s not: a ferocious, fiery, bold beast. But he might need to do some pretending of his own if he’s going to keep his innocent Earther girl alive, even if the real danger is facing their own fears…and the risk that they might be falling in love.
