  She raised her head, and he saw the worry in her eyes. “What?” She tugged away a little, and he felt the distance which might so easily come between them.

  “C’mere.” He pulled her against his body so her head lay on his shoulder. “I need to ask a serious question.”

  She frowned but snuggled back against him.

  “I need to ask...” He stopped. Is this the right time? He didn’t remember ever experiencing nerves like this, but he needed her, and he had to be sure she felt the same need.

  “Gustav?” He could hear the concern in her voice. Looking at the ceiling, he took a deep breath before plunging forward.

  “Kera, I know you Communed once before. But would you consider doing so with me?” He breathed deeply, hoping she would accept. He’d pushed her away once and—

  “It’s about time you asked. Of course I will.”

  His heart stopped for an instant, and he closed his eyes. His heart restarted, this time beating hard and fast. He was so full of love for the woman in his arms.

  “Good. Then no more leaving me. Ever. You’ll stay here, in my arms.” With that, he pulled her closer, letting his mouth descend on hers.

  Can two damaged hearts overcome the past and find a love that’s endless?

  The first time Elara laid eyes on Grayson was when he rescued her from the clutches of a madman and his scientists who were kidnapping humans and conducting horrific experiments on them. That was years ago. In spite of her attempts to deepen their relationship, they remained nothing more than close friends.

  Now Elara is a medic with the Admiralty, and she knows what she wants. It’s been Grayson since the beginning. When Elara is stationed on the Star of Ishtar, she arrives with a plan to further her career. But this time her plan has an added bonus—to finally get her man.

  Grayson’s spent years fighting the connection between himself and Elara. He’s certain it only exist because he saved her life. But his will is failing, and he fears he just might give in to temptation.

  Starline

  Warriors of the Elector, Book 2

  One man, one woman, one psychotic alien. The race is on to save humanity. Past, present, and future.

  Mellissa Davis is your average bookstore owner and aspiring romance author until one day an electronic bookpad slides through the mail slot of her small store. Now all she has to worry about is a sexy, time-traveling stealth ship captain, staying out of the way of the bad guy, and saving the universe. Not much to ask…

  Duvall McCord, an up-and-coming space captain, travels to the past to stop the Ru’Edan leader’s plans to destroy the Earth Empire before it can be formed. His mission? Retrieve the handbook for the Elector. He doesn’t count on saving a woman who intrigues him or having to bring her back to his time in order to keep her safe.

  Time is running out. They must do whatever they can to stop the plot, but will it be enough?

  Content Warning: Space and time travel, violence, and evil aliens abound

  Starfire

  Warriors of the Elector, Book 3

  Jemma and Raven find forever on the eve of war.

  Jemma Cardnew is hard-nosed and determined. Her life consisted of growing up in an orphanage, only to be kidnapped and dumped at the academy without choice by those in charge of the Elector. She deems anyone telling her how to live her life to be high-handed. That includes Raven, the ship’s gorgeous engineer, no matter how much she feels emotionally drawn to him.

  Raven Fraser has a multitude of problems: the power matrix of the Elector is leaving the ship unprotected and afloat in space while Crick Sur Banden taunts the Empire, leaving them on the verge of war. And the woman he dreams of is avoiding him, playing havoc with his concentration.

  Thrust together under trying circumstances, the promise of explosive passion consumes them both as they attempt to save the Empire.
