Master Sergeant Gant Maker was a highly-decorated and well-respected Marine – until his last mission left him as the sole survivor of an encounter with a vicious race called the Vacra. Served up as a scapegoat and drummed out of the military, he has since lived a life of seclusion with only an adopted alien as a companion.

Now the Vacra have returned. As the only person to have ever faced them and survived, Maker is reinstated in the Corps and given the onerous task of finding this enemy on a world located at the edge of known space. Assisting him is an unlikely band of military rejects, including a blind sharpshooter, an unstable psychic, and a genetically-engineered killing machine who refuses to fight.

Given that the Vacra have superior weapons and technology, Maker’s only counter is an audacious plan that just may level the playing field – if it doesn’t get everyone killed.

June never asked to be cloned from her mom’s DNA. She didn’t ask for her faulty heart either. Despite making a life for herself, all she really wants is the same as everyone else: a human connection. How can she connect to someone when her heart’s next beat may be the last?

Her estranged father shows up on her doorstep, warning her of danger, but she dismisses him as paranoid. That’s until he disappears. The police aren’t prepared for this conspiracy, especially with a serial killer on the loose.

When approached by an AWOL soldier, insisting her father and his brother are connected, she doesn’t trust him—she’s never trusted anyone. As time runs out, she must avoid abduction, untangle a web of lies, and still hide her taboo origins.

Can June trust someone with her secret… and her heart?

A marriage she didn’t want. A prophecy that could change the world.

Lynx of Norin is a proud warrior who always does what’s right for her people. When an ancient treaty and a thousand guards force her to leave her land for an arranged marriage, she knows it’s her duty. Lynx begrudgingly travels to wed her sworn enemy, the beautiful, brooding Lukan Avanov.

Lukan grows to love his bride-to-be, but he wasn’t prepared for the curse Lynx brings with her. Prophesied for ages, it may come true on Lukan’s watch, and it could bring down his entire family.

As Lynx seeks to overthrow the Avanovs from the inside, Lukan fights to keep his empire from falling apart. Lives and civilization are on the line. Will love be enough to save Lukan, or will Lynx destroy him and his empire first? If you like page-turning action and a heroine who kicks butt, then you’ll love Rebel’s Honor.
