Go on a star cruise, they said. See the galaxy. Get inspired. How’s this for inspiration? Sonia signed up for a two year-long galactic star cruise and now the ship is on literal fire. Her best chance of surviving this disaster is trusting the one alien she despises. Nothing about the older alien is real, including his silver hair and gray horns. So how can she believe him when he says his heart belongs to her? Call him a romantic. Some say he's a traitor. Others say he is useful. Caldar is used to being distrusted, but when it comes from the female he intends to claim as his own, it hurts. He’ll win her heart yet, but first he has to make sure they survive long enough to enjoy their Happily Ever After. He’s just a romantic at the center of his duplicitous heart.
Paax never wanted to be matched to a mate. The situation in his clan was dangerous for a hardened warrior, let alone a soft Human female without fangs or claws to defend herself. Sending her back to Earth was the only way to keep her safe. However, the moment the curvaceous woman stepped off the transporter, his tattoo burned with a passionate intensity he’d never experienced before. Paax knew he would do anything to protect her, to claim her, even challenge the clan’s violent Warlord. No force in the universe would take his mate from him. Matched to an alien warrior in the Draft, Mercy swore she’d do whatever it took to get out of the marriage contract. She liked her life on Earth and her independence. No one would take it away, not even the ridiculously hot warrior who demanded she call him husband. Why is being claimed by the horned muscular alien the only thing she can think about? She didn’t want to stay, did she?

He won't let her run away. The chase is on.

You can’t trust an alien. Penny is having the worst year. First the pretty lizard aliens show up and start murdering people. Then the “good aliens” arrive and claim they’ll defend Earth and save humanity… for a price. She knows a protection racket when she sees one. And the price? Married to an alien? No thank you. Kol has one mission: destroy the Suhlik. He’s not interested in this new planet, Earth, or the strange soft-skinned inhabitants. On a scouting mission, he catches the luscious scent of his mate and must find her in the rubble of a ruined city and bring her to the safe zone. When Kol is wounded protecting Penny, she just can’t leave him to freeze to death in a blizzard. Besides, no one is asking her to marry him, just keep him from becoming a popsicle. She doesn’t trust him and all this nonsense about being his mate could be hypothermia talking. The more time she spends with the brawny alien warrior, the more she can’t deny the heat between them. Once she is safe in his powerful embrace, being married to an alien is looking better by the minute. The Warlord Bride Index is a series of standalone stories set in the Warlord Brides universe. Stand Alone, HEA, No Cheating and No Cliffhangers.

He's made it clear that we aren't going to get along, but I see the hungry way his eyes roam over my curves, like he would love to devour me.
