Ixceramenops is a Menops bounty hunter in search of something vital, but what he finds when he reunites with Tarin is far more than he bargained for. Even though she's small and weak and disgustingly human, he still finds her fascinating and can't keep his antennas from straining in her direction. He craves the chance to spend more time with her, but time is not on his side. He's made a deal with the mysterious and calculating Halian, an Iriduan traitor he believes will save him from his own nature, but it involves lying to Tarin and her friends. When something goes awry while Ixcera is carrying out his end of the bargain, he and Tarin are teleported to another world-one that is inhospitable to them both. A deadly encounter forces Ixcera to undergo a metamorphosis, leaving his body altered in a way that makes it impossible for him to ignore his growing feelings for Tarin. But secrets, lies, and a past he can't change form a seemingly insurmountable obstacle between them. Hunter must prove he's worthy of his queen and earn her forgiveness for his past mistakes, but the consequences of those mistakes have yet to fully manifest-and when they do, no one will be safe. ***This book is the fifth book in the Iriduan Test Subjects series.

Claire has never really fit in with everyone around her, but she's carved out a life for herself using her own unique style and artistic ability to support herself on the Internet. The last thing she expects is to be abducted by aliens and dropped into a research facility, where a genetically-engineered alien soldier chooses her as his life-mate. Thrax's pheromones are compelling, and his status as a fellow unwilling test subject makes them allies, but Claire isn't certain she can trust someone who is convinced she belongs to him, when all she wants to do is find a way to return home to Earth-a place that her devoted alien can never follow, because there's no way the scorpion-like alien would ever be able to pass for human. Still, she'll accept help where she can find it, so she doesn't hesitate to escape with Thrax from the facility, though their time running from their pursuers in the warrens beneath the research facility will forever change Claire, and could make it impossible for her to return to Earth. But will there be anywhere else in the galaxy they can go where their love will be accepted?This alien romance features an alien hero who actually looks alien, strong language, violence, and open door intimate scenes.

Joanie I escaped an alien research facility, but my troubles are far from over. The Iriduans who experimented on me did something to me that changed me. I'm sure of it. Why else would I feel so strongly drawn to the monstrous Nemon, the alien test subject who helped all of us captives escape from the clutches of the Iriduans? It's true that Nemon's face and upper body are so handsome that he could be mistaken for a Greek god, but below his waist, tentacles writhe constantly, and they're always twisting in my direction like he can barely resist wrapping them around me. Yet, I feel safer with Nemon than I've ever felt in my life, and I can't help thinking about how it would feel to surrender to his truly alien embrace. What did the Iriduans do to me? More importantly, what kind of monster lurks behind the sweet and deceptively innocent mask of the male I want to make my own? ***This book is the second book in the Iriduan Test Subjects series.

He isn't prepared when he suddenly imprints on a human female that he rescues during a raid on a pirate colony. Now, he's stuck with her, because if he isn't exposed to his mate's scent on a regular basis, he will die. The fact that his body craves her as much as it needs her fills him with resentment, but when he realizes that the Iriduan Empire will do anything to keep her under their control because of what she means to him, he doesn't hesitate to protect his mate-even if it means betraying his people. ***This book is the third book in the Iriduan Test Subjects series.

Theresa Five years ago, I was abducted by aliens. After escaping an Iriduan research facility with the help of the reptilian Akrellians, I found myself entranced by their leader, Prime Commander Tirel. I was so strongly drawn to him that I didn't trust my feelings. Fearing that my powerful emotions for him were the result of Iriduan experimentation on me, I turned my back on his offer of marriage and returned to my ordinary life on Earth. Now, Tirel haunts my dreams and thoughts of him fill my every waking moment. I miss him so much that I sleepwalk every night as my dreaming mind tries to go to him. I would gladly return to him and beg him to give me that same proposal, kicking myself for turning it down the first time. Unfortunately, I'm stuck on Earth, surrounded by humans who don't even believe in the existence of aliens. I have no one who can help me find Tirel. Until a mysterious and potentially dangerous Iriduan shows up on Earth with a claim that my beloved Akrellian is in terrible danger-and that I'm the only one who can help him. ***This book is the fourth book in the Iriduan Test Subjects series.
