BOOKS
All of the stories in blue take place in the same universe, but there is no reading order for these. Some are light and fun, others are darker and lean more towards action or horror. Others are just really, really spicy. All are romances, and all have happy endings. I hope you find something in a flavor you like. Happy reading!
Brutes & BARGAINS SERIES
A series of extra spicy novellas featuring Harkurians, an orc-like alien hailing from the planet Harkur, and the Humans they make their famous bargains with.
Brutes & Bargains
#1: Thon
Krista is not having a good week. For starters, her father pawns her off to a guy three times her age and calls it a marriage, then she's exiled and left to die when the whole thing falls apart. Now she's lost, she can't feel her fingers, her stomach is steadily devouring itself, and she has no resources or connections.
Oh. And it's raining.
Freezing in the wilderness, a chance encounter brings Krista face-to-face with Thon, a massive Harkurian hunter, and his brothers, who offer dinner and a bargain. They will provide safe passage off-world and a life-long stipend to cover Krista's expenses on a new planet. Thon only wants one thing in exchange.
A child.
