Book Description
Pilot Kira Jensen simply wanted to avoid being mindwiped by her own people. Developing feelings for Commander Tal Kaegen--the enemy she'd shot down--well, that was a complication she didn't need. When she tried to convince him to divulge the Net codes, Tal offered her his name. His name! There is nothing more sacred in Serrissian culture, and he offered it to her ... a Deridian pilot he didn't know, a woman with a history so heinous he'd never understand let alone look at her with desire again. Kira had no choice but to run--from the responsibility of that offering and her past, but mostly from the man who captivated her. Now, her superiors are forcing her to spy on Tal, on an isolationist, military-run world with outdated notions toward women and technology. No one wants her there, except one very frustrating and handsome Commander who tempts her beyond all reason. Tal trusts her implicitly--even though he shouldn't. When assassinations, infighting and a mole threaten his command, Kira puts everything on the line for him. She has nothing to lose, except her heart, the one part of her she's determined to keep as far from Tal as possible.

Book Description
Myfanwy Thomas awakens in a London park surrounded by dead bodies. With her memory gone, she must trust the instructions left by her former in order to survive. She quickly learns that she is a Rook, a high-level operative in a secret agency that protects the world from supernatural threats. But there is a mole inside the organization, and this person wants her dead. Battling to save herself, Myfanwy will encounter a person with four bodies, a woman who can enter her dreams, children transformed into deadly fighters, and terrifyingly vast conspiracy. Suspenseful and hilarious, The Rook is an outrageously imaginative thriller for readers who like their espionage with a dollop of purple slime. "Utterly convincing and engrossing -- -totally thought-through and frequently hilarious....Even this aging, jaded, attention-deficit-disordered critic was blown away."-Lev Grossman, Time

Book Description
The exciting end to The Poppy War trilogy, R. F. Kuang’s acclaimed, award-winning epic fantasy that combines the history of twentieth-century China with a gripping world of gods and monsters, to devastating, enthralling effect. After saving her nation of Nikan from foreign invaders and battling the evil Empress Su Daji in a brutal civil war, Fang Runin was betrayed by allies and left for dead. Despite her losses, Rin hasn’t given up on those for whom she has sacrificed so much—the people of the southern provinces and especially Tikany, the village that is her home. Returning to her roots, Rin meets difficult challenges—and unexpected opportunities. While her new allies in the Southern Coalition leadership are sly and untrustworthy, Rin quickly realizes that the real power in Nikan lies with the millions of common people who thirst for vengeance and revere her as a goddess of salvation. Backed by the masses and her Southern Army, Rin will use every weapon to defeat the Dragon Republic, the colonizing Hesperians, and all who threaten the shamanic arts and their practitioners. As her power and influence grows, though, will she be strong enough to resist the Phoenix’s intoxicating voice urging her to burn the world and everything in it?

Book Description
Seven stunning stories of speculative fiction by the author of A Boy and His Dog. In a post-apocalyptic world, four men and one woman are all that remain of the human race, brought to near extinction by an artificial intelligence. Programmed to wage war on behalf of its creators, the AI became self-aware and turned against humanity. The five survivors are prisoners, kept alive and subjected to brutal torture by the hateful and sadistic machine in an endless cycle of violence. This story and six more groundbreaking and inventive tales that probe the depths of mortal experience prove why Grand Master of Science Fiction Harlan Ellison has earned the many accolades to his credit and remains one of the most original voices in American literature. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream also includes “Big Sam Was My Friend,” “Eyes of Dust,” “World of the Myth,” “Lonelyache,” Hugo Award finalist “Delusion for a Dragon Slayer,” and Hugo and Nebula Award finalist “Pretty Maggie Moneyeyes.”

Book Description
A Mail Order Bride. An Assassination Plot. And one Warrior who's lost his way. Anya Anya left Earth for a better future. She never even had the chance of being matched to a husband. Lucky her, she was in a batch of women who got sold off as slaves. She'll fight with everything she has, though. Especially against the beast, a blue male with horns and a reputation for buying and selling women. Except he doesn't buy her. He steals her. Nothing about this guy adds up. He promises to release her after she helps him with a job. The beast, a.k.a. Azokk, is not what he seems. He pretends to be a trader in coalition space, but he's using her, in more ways than one. He plans to gift her to the king of Grudan. Hell no. Except he doesn't give her a choice. . .just another promise to take her with him when he leaves the planet of warmongers. He didn't tell her she'd be caught up in an assassination of their king first. Can she trust him enough to do as he asks, or is he just using her? Azokk Azokk changed more than his name when he left Zyan to join the Coalition after the war destroyed his family. He changed who he was. A necessity to blend in with the Coalition. After six years living among the coalition, he has a mission that requires the use of a human female. Now he's flying to Grudan with a stolen human on his ship. He plans to sacrifice her. This is not the behavior of a Zyanthan Warrior. Then again, he's no longer the male he used to be. And this female, Anya, stirs both of his c*cks. He has one shot at completing his mission. One shot at saving his sholani. And no chance of keeping her for himself. Except she seems to think otherwise. She's a fighter, a warrior in her own right. Maybe with her by his side, he'll find a way of surviving his mission after all. ◆◆◆ A Warrior For Every Bride Alien Stolen is a steamy Mail Order Bride Romance with a male who's lost his way and the woman who helps him re-discover what it means to be a Zyanthan Warrior. Prepare for hot romance, raw determination, love, and a lot of twists along the way. This book can be read as a stand-alone but is best enjoyed as part of the series. Each book in the series ends in a very Happy Ever After.
