Continuing stories of interstellar and futuristic passion begun in HOTTER ON THE EDGE... Praise for HOTTER ON THE EDGE: "An exceptional trio of sci-fi romance novellas" 4 1/2 starsβTop Pick from Night Owl Reviews GOLD LIKE THE SUN Erin Kellison Itβs the wedding of the millennium! Princess Pilar Sol and Hakan Frust are celebrating their union with sector fetes full of celebrity and pomp. Theirs is an arranged marriage to preserve the vital commerce of the Nyer Transit Hub, and yet Pilar is madly, unreservedly, passionately in love. She has all the excitement she has long dreamed ofβand a little more than she bargained for when she discovers that Hakanβs grasping family wants her dead. Hakan has done everything in his power to save his inheritanceβthe bustling but impoverished Hubβincluding marrying a wealthy princess for her dowry. His heart isnβt supposed to be part of the deal, but Pilar has all the beauty and joy his life lacks. When Hakan runs afoul of his uncleβs associatesβcriminal in nature, violent in approachβhe refuses to risk Pilar, not for money, not even for his life. But Pilar is not so easily cast aside, and negotiations turn into a gamble with the future of the sector in the balance. Hakan is about to learn about the high stakes his bride will hazard, as he now has far more to loseβand winβthan he ever believed possible: a future brighter than gold. TO KEEP A WIFE KC Klein In the shards of civilization ruined by a global war, Lake has gotten the life she never dared dreamed ofβa safe haven, and the love of a good man, her husband, Hudson Black Creek. But Lakeβs hard-won happiness doesnβt last long when powerful Elders lay siege on Black Creek Manor in retaliation for a past defiance. As Lake watches everything she loves go up in flames, she sacrifices herself for the chance to keep Hudson and her brother alive. Syon, a diabolic Elder with his own agenda, will push Lake to her breaking point, forcing her to compromiseβheart and soulβ in order to survive. Hudson wakes from a head wound to find that his whole world is reduced to ashes. With no memory of why heβs sacrificed everything for a woman whose name is tattooed on his chest, Hudson is determined to make his heart match the emptiness of his mind, and wipe out everything except the hatred for those who are to blameβthe Elders and the wife he sought to protect. As evil and fear spread across a war-torn land, Lake and Hudson are tested like never before, and both will have to forgive betrayals and risk greater heartbreak if they want a chance at saving their livesβ¦ and their love. PRINCE OF PASSION Jessa Slade When mercenary raiders targeted the empathic crystals that imbue the legendary lβauraly lovers with extraordinary sensual prowess, Icere, the last male lβauralyo, helped destroy the crystals. Rather than let the source of uninhibited pleasure be corrupted into a mind-controlling drug, he allowed his passionate destiny to remain forever unfulfilled. Now, Icere channels his fury into revenge. Tracking the raiders through the interstellar sheerways to a watery world infamous for its aphrodisiac liqueur, he finds a queenβas adrift and alone as heβforced for years into a fate she never desired. Saya-Rynn inherited duty, command and control from her cruel grandfather and fought to transform her dangerous planet into a paradise for her peopleβbut the price was literally a poison that runs through her veins. Though she feels as ancient as the seas, she finds herself awash in the hot male potency of the young Icere. Still, she resists the chance for indulgence she thinks has passed by her. But when the raiders strike again, Rynn must embrace her troubled legacy, and Icere will find his place as a lover and a fighter. Together, the reluctant ruler and the deposed prince of passion find common purpose, combating the mysterious entity seeking to rule the sheerways, and claim a love as bright as the infinite stars.
