      <image:title>Galactic Courtship - Deceiving the Alien</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fire, drought, crop failure. Ever since they landed on this planet, it’s been one crisis after another. Now, with no fresh food and supplies running low, Maggie and her fellow colonists are forced to move underground with the alien race residing on the planet. Although the two groups have achieved a certain peace between themselves, not all of the human colonists are happy with the arrangement, and it doesn’t take long before Maggie finds herself involved with a small group of humans who believe they can run the combined colony better than their alien hosts. Kraeven, like most of the Aeci, is more than willing to make space in the vast underground caverns for the human colonists. After all, his own ancestors struggled to survive on this harsh and merciless planet until they made their way underground. He even finds himself making space in his own bed for a bold and dazzling human woman...But generosity soon turns to suspicion when Kraeven learns of a faction of humans planning a coup. As he investigates, he fears that his new lover may be involved. Is the passion he shares with Maggie real, or has she been playing him the entire time?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Galactic Courtship - Her Desert Alien</image:title>
      <image:caption>People wouldn’t call Hazel Clarke a particularly impressive woman. She isn’t a brilliant scientist, a skilled fighter, or a silver-tongued legislator. Still, she’s a hard worker, and she’s determined to help her father’s new colony succeed. It’s a task that’s become particularly difficult since discovering that the planet they settled already hosts a large population of cavern-dwelling aliens. As tensions grow between their people and Hazel attempts to broker some kind of peace, she’ll find herself facing a different kind of tension altogether – the desire between a man and a woman on opposite sides of a conflict.   The Aeci left their home centuries ago to escape persecution, and Drakkein is proud of the life his ancestors created below the surface of this desert planet. He's decided to look out for their well-being by becoming a member of the leadership council, an especially important role now that a group of 'humans' have invaded their world and appear ready to force the Aeci out. When he encounters a lovely woman from the surface, she claims she wants to establish a truce. But is her offer - and her apparent desire for him - too good to be true? As the dispute between their people escalates, Drakkein finds himself putting his life in the hands of the humans so he can obtain peace, and hopefully, the human who's caught his eye, but that might be easier said than done.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Brenda's an ER doctor and accustomed to the high level of stress that comes with the job, but when she accepts a position with the army, she begins to fear for her life. The war with the Sri'thaens is heating up, and she is on the front lines aiding the injured. Just when she believes her time is up, a Kellian soldier sweeps her off her feet and shows her there might be some hope left in this war. The last place Ryrth thought he'd encounter his mate was on a war-torn human colony, but now that he has her, he's reluctant to let go. Unfortunately, a soldier has to follow orders, and when he leaves her side, it nearly leads to her death. Now he wants her far from this war, but she's more headstrong than he'd initially thought, and now he's fighting two wars.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Galactic Courtship - Xacier's Queen</image:title>
      <image:caption>After a year of mated-bliss with Xacier, Samantha only has one last matter to resolve – bringing water to the Kellian people. Thrust into the role of queen, she feels the need to prove herself worthy of her people. Just as her atmospheric generators get up and running, someone plants a bomb in the facility. Suddenly, they are thrown into the Sri’thaen-human war, and she never would have guessed how her idealistic life would be turned upside down. Xacier, the king of the Kell Empire, has put his Friren arena past behind him, but when he sides with the humans in the Sri’thaen war, he finds out just how far the Sri'thaens will go to win. After a mysterious bomber takes out Samantha’s water facility, she is abducted along with his sister, Bria. Now he’s on a mission to save them both, while reliving the memories of the arena as he fears her being lost to him forever. Can the Kell Empire continue to support the humans in their war, or will Xacier and Samantha need to take a step back to save their love and lives?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Galactic Courtship - Taken By The Mobster</image:title>
      <image:caption>As an officer of the law, Isla’s seen the viciousness of crime, but when Haldon, a Vrak’rir mobster, is sent to prison, all hell lets loose around Guit’re. Crime rates spike all over the planet, and surrounding space as wannabe mobsters fight to fill Haldon’s shoes. When Haldon breaks out of prison, Isla and several of her fellow officers are assigned to find, capture, and bring Haldon back to prison. She never could have predicted the adventure this simple mission will send her on, and in the end, she fears Haldon might capture her heart before she can get him back to prison. Known as insane, it comes as no surprise when Haldon vows revenge on all who put him in prison. He is violent, unpredictable, and lives life with brute strength and a scary intelligence. When he breaks free of prison, he only has one thing on his mind – killing Vivian and Valdohn. What he didn’t plan on was running into his mate… a sexy, strong-willed, human female whose job it is to put him right back in prison. He resists the pressing urge of his instinct. She will be safer without him. Not only would his enemies use her against him, but he can’t trust himself around her. One moment of rage, and he might just shove her out an airlock. Can Isla tame the Vrak’rir mobster, or will he show her just how much fun the dark side is?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Galactic Courtship - Seducing the Alien King</image:title>
      <image:caption>Valeria molds herself to fit any mission, making her the perfect spy and assassin. When Earth hires her to infiltrate the Sri'thaen homeworld, she jumps at the chance. The assignment is most likely a suicide mission. The type of mission she can't resist. It will be the ultimate test of her skills - cause chaos for the Sri'thaen government by killing those in power or gather intel. When she finally becomes one of the king's concubines, she sees her mission coming together perfectly. As Valeria grows close to the king, her heart slowly grows attached to a man who should be her enemy. With danger breathing down her neck, she knows it's only a matter of time until her deception is revealed. Known as a bit of a playboy, Akkon has yet to claim the throne. He is king, but he hasn't participated in a single council meeting. Instead, he allows his councilors to create laws and guide their people. When a human sneaks into his bathing chamber, he sees a pretty face. Little does he know the human, Valeria, will infiltrate his mind and heart. She guides him to the throne and helps him become the king he always needed to be, but when her secret is revealed, can he get past it, or will it forever separate them?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Galactic Courtship - Taking His Fallen Star</image:title>
      <image:caption>After Brooklyn and her crewmates settle down in the Feosua village, it doesn't take long for her to realize she's on the receiving end of some strange looks. When she brings it up, she's told of a prophecy that explains why the Feosua mistrust her. Now she's stranded on a planet with primitive aliens who believe in prophecies over science. Nothing could be worse... until she gets lost during a hunting trip and finds herself in the hands of an alien who doesn't appear to have a village of his own. Now Brooklyn needs to find her way back or wait for a rescue. Isax was banished from his clan the moment he was old enough to fend for his own due to a prophecy. It doesn't stop him from visiting his village now and then. As long as he lives apart from them, he is tolerated for small visits. Fearing a life alone, Isax can't believe his luck when he stumbles onto a female who looks similar to him. A female who he can't speak with but who is his mate. Now he needs to find a way to convince her to stay with him when she seems determined to leave.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Galactic Courtship - Mated In The Stars</image:title>
      <image:caption>In the vast, unforgiving depths of space, survival is more than just a game—it's a deadly dance of wit, strength, and love. Captain Sara is a seasoned scavenger, navigating the treacherous debris fields and black markets of the galaxy to keep her crew alive. But when her ship stumbles upon the wreckage of a massive warship and a mysterious, battered Vrak’rir named Ak’kel Drokenal, her world turns upside down. Ak’kel is no ordinary prisoner. He’s a fierce and proud Vrak’rir, a creature of raw power and dangerous beauty, who claims Sara as his mate after a tense encounter. Now, with space pirates, and an ex stalking her, Sara must decide whether to trust her instincts and her heart, or risk losing everything. As passions ignite among the stars, Sara finds herself caught between the life she’s built and a destiny she never expected, one that could bind her forever to Ak’kel. But in a universe where mates can be a strength or a weakness, can love truly survive the chaos of space?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Galactic Courtship - The Spy and the Alien</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ever since joining the Sri’thaens on their mission to destroy the human race, Adira has finally found her place in the universe. She fits in well with the Sri’thaens because of her beyond human strength and speed. The only problem? The Chief is still out there. Somewhere.

      <image:caption>Sophia is part of a group of anthropologists who were forced to land on a primitive alien planet when their space station begins to vent atmosphere into the dark of space. Now, they must leave behind the technology they once knew and start a new life among the aliens they’d been studying. The good part? The aliens are slowly finding mates out of the human women. The bad part? Sophia seems to be stuck with the grumpiest of them all.  Zro’eq watches from the sidelines as his clan accepts these strange women into their village. He knows it’s a bad idea, but no one seems to be listening to him. The last time they encountered human males, they’d shot blue balls of searing light at the clan. Now he worries what will happen when more of their people show. When they’re forced together to find a couple of missing humans, will they tear each other apart or join forces like a dynamic duo?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jessica isn't a tough gladiator from the Friren arenas or a genetically enhanced assassin with years of combat training. So how in the cosmos did a simple human with a fondness for animals end up getting selected as prey for the Hennian's sadistic hunting parties? It seems the universe has a twisted sense of humor, especially when Jessica's survival comes to depend on a devastatingly handsome Sri'thaen politician who should want to see her dead. With no other options, she's got to convince him to help her - and avoid getting her heart stolen or ripped out in the process.  Bruyx Ar’ewth can't believe he was captured and placed on a Hennian planet. How demeaning to be hunted, like some weak species! He doesn't belong here, and he's got a plan to strike back at his kidnappers and return to his people. When an opportunity finally presents itself, though, his plans could be thwarted by the infuriatingly tempting human. Thrust together by circumstance, Bruyx must move past his disdain and discover that strength hides within his newfound ally, perhaps even enough to consider a permanent partnership.</image:caption>

Her life is overshadowed with the fear of failing the Chief, the man who made her what she is - and who can destroy her with a single order. Adira has few options. She will either succeed in her current mission or die trying. She must infiltrate the Sri’thaen threat and expose their defenses. No one will be able to stand in her way, not even a Sri'thaen general whose touch awakens something within her that she's never felt before...  Rakshasas Sa’ri is the accomplished general of the Sri’thaen forces. Known for his cunning and finesse in battle among a race of strategic warriors, he’s been selected to lead the eradication of the human population. It will clearly be a difficult task.

Although she's a spy from his hated enemy, he’s intrigued by her inhuman strength and drawn to the pain she’s suffered at the hands of her own government. Will she let him save her, or will she die with the rest of her people?</image:caption>

When they take on a few Vrak’rir prisoners, and those prisoners riot, she starts to wonder if the captain was right about her. Does she side with the attractive Vrak’rir prisoner who doesn’t treat her like an invalid or her captain who has no respect for her?  Kruhn Zerofe and his men got themselves arrested, so they could hijack a human prison ship for their Sri’thaen clients.

      <image:caption>When Tor finds his mate in a pronghorn shifter, he can’t believe his luck. Despite his best efforts to win her over, she only rejects him. Frustrated with her refusals, he leaves everything he knows behind. If his mate didn’t wish to set eyes on him, then he was all too happy to oblige. When he is delivered a severe wound, he returns to his village once more. Can he win over his mate, or will she only drive him insane once more? Ezi is traumatized when neighboring sabertooths brutally slaughter her clan. To make it worse, her mate, Drakk, is killed. When she and Aiyre, a fellow pronghorn shifter, are taken in by the same sabertooth clan that destroyed her happiness, she finds herself the mate of a fierce sabertooth. Can she learn to love a sabertooth, or will the past continue to haunt her when she learns Drakk left a piece of himself with her?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ice Age Alphas - The Sabertooth's Promise</image:title>
      <image:caption>The days are getting colder, and food is growing more scarce for Aiyre, a pronghorn shapeshifter, and her clan as they prepare for another long, hard winter. To make matters worse, a neighboring clan of shapeshifting sabertooths is causing problems and encroaching on their hunting grounds. When tragedy strikes her village, Aiyre will find herself turning for help to the most unlikely of places. But can she ever really trust the word of a sabertooth? Daerk knows that the pressure between the sabertooth and pronghorn clan is coming to a head, but he's hesitant to challenge his leader without the backing of his people. His plans change after he meets a woman from the pronghorn clan whose tantalizing scent leaves him with a sneaking suspicion that she's his mate. He'll do anything to protect her, even tear his own clan in two. There's only one problem he can't face. Will she ever love him in return?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Roxanne is a well-bred lady of the Arcaerian court, more familiar with the cut of words than the cut of a dagger. Unfortunately, her father's involvement in the fire giant conflict has put her at risk, and without warning she finds herself abducted by their dangerous enemy. Roxanne knows she is only a tool that will be used to break her father. She must remain strong until she can be rescued. But every touch, every kiss and burning caress from her captor is slowly igniting a flame within her that threatens to blaze out of control. And when Roxanne learns the truth about her father, nothing will remain among the ashes. Daerrin can't believe his luck. After witnessing countless atrocities performed by General Johnston and his men, he now has the general's own daughter in his hands. A very beautiful daughter, at that. Meting out revenge will be a true pleasure, greater than he even imagined. But as Daerrin exacts his vengeance, he's unable to ignore the fire that flares between them. Will he be able to keep his distance from this human woman? Or will his passion betray the memory of those who died?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Tensions persist between the giants and the humans, but after years [months? not sure how long the fighting has lasted] of fighting, a tentative truce has finally been struck. For Lady Sybil, though, that doesn't mean the war is over. Her brother remains a captive of the enemy giant forces, and his release isn't a priority in the negotiations. Determined not to let him rot away in a nameless prison camp, Sybil uses her skills with bow and arrow to secure a place in the human army. She knows that military patrols will continue while the peace talks progress, and it will only be a matter of time before she finds the chance to slip into giant territory and rescue her brother. That is, as long as one particularly sexy rock giant doesn't stand in her way... General Raziur of the rock giants commands the forces responsible for ensuring that the humans uphold their end of the peace treaty. When his troops stumble upon a human woman, he feels obligated to protect her, even if he doesn't entirely trust her intentions. He wants to believe that her loyalty to her brother is genuine, but his own family experiences leave him doubtful that this human woman could care enough for her brother to put herself in such a dangerous situation. It's far more likely that she has an ulterior motive that he has yet to uncover. Should he play along and help her with her ambitious plan? Or will Lady Sybil play him instead and leave him with a broken heart?</image:caption>
