In the future, The League of Planets forbids contact with humans. But when five women take a space cruise and get abducted by aliens, they become a formidable force for change. Forbidden Bonds Collection One is a science fiction romance containing the first three books of the series: Alien With Benefits, Alien Incognito, Alien Undone. Alien With Benefits (Forbidden Bonds 1) A space cruise with her bestie seems like the vacation of a lifetime until Holly Winter gets abducted by aliens and finds herself on a slave ship. She’s rescued by an alien who claims to be the prince of Araset but who acts more like a royal jerk. At odds at first, Holly and Aeon quickly discover that working together offers more benefits than fighting. But when friendship turns passionate, emotions remain guarded because both know they are loving on borrowed time. Holly must return to New Terra, and Aeon must bond with a royal of his species to inherit the throne. Can two lovers from different worlds defeat the forces against them and find happiness together? Alien Incognito (Forbidden Bonds 2) Being freed from a slave ship by a tall, muscular furry alien with large curling horns is enough for Giselle Cartier to think she’s found a hero. Having him deliver her back into the clutches of the same traffickers shatters her trust and the belief that anything she’d felt was real. But just as she is rescued by the League of Planets, Joule reappears with the devastating news that Giselle’s sister has been taken. He promises to help find her if she’ll team up with him. He’s already betrayed her once; what’s to stop him from doing it again? Regardless of the risks, he’s her only hope for saving her sister so she agrees to go with him. This time, however, she won’t make the mistake of falling in love with him. Alien Undone (Forbidden Bonds 3) Getting abducted by aliens is not the worst thing to befall Millie Rogers. The lowest point in her life comes after the rescue when she’s forced to deal with him—Nadir, the alien man tasked with ensuring the abducted humans get home to New Terra. He’s made his contempt of humans blatantly obvious. She can’t wait to see the last of his muscular backside. Unfortunately, the king’s son goes missing and her repatriation is put on hold so Nadir can find him. Things go from bad to worse when she accidentally stows away on Nadir’s shuttle pod, and their craft crashes in a war zone. Forced to trust one another, Millie and Nadir set aside their differences to battle insurgents and unexpected threats in a dash for safety. But as desire flares, will their forbidden bond prove to be the biggest danger of all?

The New Routledge Companion to Science Fiction provides an overview of the study of science fiction across multiple academic fields. It offers a new conceptualisation of the field today, marking the significant changes that have taken place in sf studies over the past 15 years. Building on the pioneering research in the first edition, the collection reorganises historical coverage of the genre to emphasise new geographical areas of cultural production and the growing importance of media beyond print. It also updates and expands the range of frameworks that are relevant to the study of science fiction. The periodisation has been reframed to include new chapters focusing on science fiction produced outside the Anglophone context, including South Asian, Latin American, Chinese and African diasporic science fiction. The contributors use both well- established critical and theoretical approaches and embrace a range of new ones, including biopolitics, climate crisis, critical ethnic studies, disability studies, energy humanities, game studies, medical humanities, new materialisms and sonic studies. This book is an invaluable resource for students and established scholars seeking to understand the vast range of engagements with science fiction in scholarship today.

Hell hath no fury like a woman abducted by aliens…twice. The space cruise is supposed to be the vacation of a lifetime. Instead, Jessie Sayles gets abducted by aliens. After the rescue, she’s determined to sound the alarm that humans have been targeted by a galactic slave cartel. But upon returning home, she discovers her apartment has been burglarized, her cat is freaked out, her boss doubts everything she says, and she gets kidnapped again by a horned, amber-eyed alien who claims he’s with the galactic government. She doesn’t know what to believe, but she’s sure of one thing—she won’t allow anyone to interfere with her crusade to warn her fellow New Terrans of the threat, no matter how persuasive—or sexy—he is. Maxx, an agent with the League of Planets, has three years invested in a mission to crush the slave cartel, and he’s about to close in on the mastermind behind it all—until Jessie barrels into middle of his operation. He has to stop her before she unwittingly ruins everything, so he takes her into protective custody. With Jessie in lockdown, the sparks that fly ignite a heated desire, followed by a grudging, mutual respect as they come to realize they’re on the same side. But just as Maxx is about to capture the cartel mastermind, unresolved trust issues threaten to destroy everything he and Jessie are fighting for. And they soon discover the stakes are greater than either of them imagined.
