Ein Blick, eine Ber hrung, und schon ist es um sie geschehen... Alexis Lopez, einundzwanzig und Single, kann mit M nnern nicht viel anfangen und meldet sich beim Programm f r interstellare Br ute, um dieses Dilemma zu l sen. Als sie mit einem gro en, dominanten und besitzergreifenden Alien in Ber hrung kommt, geht ihr K rper in Flammen auf. Und als er ihr dann auch noch ausf hrlich erkl rt auf welche Arten er sie erobern wird, m chte sie sich ihrem Partner mit Leib und Seele hingeben. Vron vom Planeten Everis ist ein gnadenloser, hoch angesehener J ger und er hat jahrelang gegen die Hive gek mpft. Aber sein Bett wie auch sein Dasein sind leer--bis Alexis zu ihm st t. Ein einziger Blick auf seine unschuldige, zierliche Braut gen gt und er wei , dass sie ihm geh rt. Alles ganz einfach, oder? Falsch. Einer der meist-gef rchteten Krieger des Planeten stellt ihr Match infrage und weder gestohlene K sse noch atemberaubendes Vergn gen k nnen Vron vor einem t dlichen Duell bewahren. Vron ist ein J ger, ein Krieger und jemand will sich nehmen, was ihm geh rt. Er ist zu allem bereit, um seine unber hrte Braut zu besch tzen und zu erobern.

Als Danielle auf Everis eintrifft, kann sie es kaum erwarten ihren neuen Partner kennenzulernen. Sie sieht zu, wie ihre Freundinnen die wahre Liebe finden, ihr eigener Partner aber weigert sich zu ihr zu kommen und sie zu erobern; obwohl sie voneinander getr umt haben. Irgendetwas stimmt nicht. Die Tr ume werden immer dunkler. Qualvoller. Ihr Partner leidet und nichts wird sie davon abhalten, ihn zu finden--schon gar nicht seine eindringlichen Worte, dass sie einen anderen w hlen und ihr eigenes Leben und Wohlergehen ber seines stellen soll. Gage von Everis ist Erbe zu einem Sitz im Rat der Sieben, dem Regierungsrat der K nigsfamilien, die seit Jahrtausenden auf Everis die Macht aus ben. Er ist der letzte Prinz seiner Linie, der letzte berlebende Erbe und jemand m chte verhindern, dass er seinen Platz im Regierungsrat einnimmt. Verraten, gefoltert und alleingelassen besteht sein einziger Trost aus der Gewissheit, dass er seine markierte Partnerin vor demselben Schicksal bewahren konnte. Seine sture Braut aber weigert sich auf die Vernunft zu h ren.

After two of her brothers are killed in battle with the relentless alien menace that threatens the entire Interstellar Coalition, Sarah Mills volunteers to join the fight in an effort to bring home her last surviving brother. When she is mistakenly processed as a bride rather than a soldier, however, she rejects the match. But her mate has other ideas....Dax is an Atlan warlord, and like all the men of his race, a primal beast lurks within him, ready to emerge in the fury of battle or the heat of the mating fever. When he learns that his bride has chosen to fight on the front lines rather than share his bed, he sets out to track her down and take what the beast demands.Sarah is none too pleased when a massive brute claiming to be her mate arrives suddenly in the midst of a battle, and her displeasure turns to fury when Dax's presence disrupts her mission and leads to the capture of her brother. But after her commanding officer refuses to authorize a rescue mission, Sarah's best hope of saving the only family she has left is to accept Dax's offer to help, even if that means giving herself to him in return.Though he is thrilled to have located his wayward bride, Dax quickly discovers that Sarah is nothing like the meek, submissive women of his world. If he wants her, he will have to tame her, with a firm hand applied to her bare bottom if necessary. But Dax doesn't just want Sarah, he needs her. Can she satisfy the fearsome beast within him before he loses control completely?

After being set up and found guilty of a crime she didn't commit, Jessica volunteers for the Interstellar Bride Program to avoid a lengthy prison sentence. She is assigned to a prince, the heir to the throne of the powerful planet Prillon, but her future is left in doubt when the match is rejected by Prillon's current ruler. When his own father seeks to banish him and deny him his right to a mate, Prince Nial takes matters into his own hands. Accompanied by a battle-tested warrior who volunteers as his second, he sets out for Earth to take what is his, but upon his arrival he quickly discovers that the same horrifying enemies who once took him captive now hunt his mate as well. Though believing she has been rejected by a mate she never even met stings more deeply than she would like to admit, Jessica does her best to focus on the dangerous task of bringing down the people who framed her. But before long, her world is turned upside down all over again when two huge, handsome aliens save her life and then inform her that she is their matched mate and they have come to Earth to claim her. Jessica is far from ready to meekly submit, but she soon learns that her new mates expect to be obeyed and defiance will result in a painful, embarrassing spanking on her bare bottom. Despite her fury at such treatment, however, she cannot hide her arousal as she is stripped bare and thoroughly mastered by the fierce, dominant warriors. But when Prince Nial is forced to defend his birthright, will Jessica do what must be done to aid him, even if that means allowing his entire world to bear witness as she is taken by her mates?

Desperate to escape a powerful man set on making an example of her for daring to defy him, Leah's only option is to volunteer for the Interstellar Bride Program. She is assigned to the planet Viken, but upon her arrival she is shocked to discover that she has been matched to not one huge, handsome warrior, but three of them. Drogan, Tor, and Lev were born as identical triplets to the royal family of Viken, but they were separated at birth in a last ditch effort to prevent a catastrophic war. In the years since a fragile peace has held, but now a terrible threat from deep space is growing more pressing by the day and there is only one way for the three brothers to save their people. They must take a mate and produce a sole heir to the throne as soon as possible. Though being shared by three men is far from what she expected when she left Earth, Leah cannot hide her intense arousal as the brothers begin to teach her what it means to be mastered by warriors of Viken. It isn't long before her hesitance to fully submit to her dominant husbands earns Leah a sound spanking on her bare bottom, yet even that shameful chastisement merely increases her desire for them. With her own future and that of the planet at stake, will she stubbornly resist her body's demands, or will she surrender herself to be claimed by her mates?

When circumstances leave her with little choice but to volunteer for the Interstellar Bride Program, Hannah Johnson finds herself matched with not one but two mates. Her soon-to-be husbands are warriors of the planet Prillon, a world whose men are known far and wide for their prowess both in battle and in bed. Following her transport to a starship halfway across the galaxy, Hannah awakens in the presence of Zane Deston, the huge, fiercely handsome commander of the Prillon fleet. After informing her that she is now his mate, as well as the mate of his second, Zane takes it upon himself to supervise as Hannah is thoroughly and intimately examined. Her failure to properly cooperate with the ship's doctor earns her a painful, embarrassing spanking on her bare bottom, but it is her body's response to the exam which truly leaves her blushing. Though Hannah is shocked by the prospect of being shared by Zane and his second, the equally handsome warrior Dare, she cannot hide her arousal as her two dominant mates take their time in mastering her body. As the day of the claiming ceremony approaches, Hannah begins to long for the moment when Zane and Dare will make her fully theirs, but can she risk giving her heart to men who might die in battle any day?

When a potential threat against her life forces Eva Daily to seek shelter on another world, she has only one option available to her. She must offer herself to the Interstellar Bride Program. After a deeply humiliating assessment of her suitability, Eva will be assigned a mate and transported to his world to become his bride. Upon arriving on the desert planet Trion, Eva soon learns that things are quite different than she is used to on Earth. Her assigned mate, the powerful, handsome High Councilor Tark, makes it clear that she will be expected to submit to him completely, and she quickly discovers that disobedience will earn her a painful, embarrassing spanking on her bare bottom. An intimate examination from her new mate leaves Eva blushing crimson, but to her surprise Tark's mastery of her body arouses her beyond anything she could have ever imagined. Soon enough she finds herself naked, bound, and unable to resist the urge to beg for more as his skillful lovemaking brings her to one shattering climax after another. It doesn't take long, however, for Eva to realize that there is much more to Tark than just a dominant brute who will not hesitate to take his misbehaving wife over his knee and redden her bare bottom thoroughly. But just as her passion for him begins to blossom into love, events back on Earth threaten to tear her away from him forever. Can Eva find a way to remain at Tark's side and in his bed, or will she be left with nothing but memories of the man who has claimed both her body and her heart?

My dark soul. I begin to understand exactly what my enemies have stolen from me-and realize there is no limit to what a heartless warrior will sacrifice for love.

Adrian Davis thought getting on a real-life, 'beam me up, Scotty', transport pad was adventure enough. Visiting her mother-and the Atlan beast her mom had chosen as a mate-on another planet? Setting foot in an Atlan prison? Completely crazy. Like totally, bat-shit, what-the-hell-was-she-doing-with-her-life crazy.

The trip was supposed to be a much needed break from the hectic schedule she was keeping in school. She was only nineteen. She had plans. Finish college. Medical school. Husband. House. Two-point-five perfect kids and a golden retriever named Buddy. All that changed with one roar of pain. She heard him. A beast. He was out of control, locked behind an impenetrable wall, alone. Suffering the agony of mating fever. Ready to die. Forsaken. Adrian can't let him go. She will have to fight a centuries old system, warlords on another world, and the beast himself to get what she wants. To save him.To keep him for herself.
