Book excerpt: He betrayed her once, but he’s her only hope. Being saved from a slave ship and given life-saving medical attention by a tall, muscular furry alien with large curling horns is enough for Giselle Cartier to think she’s found a hero. Having him deliver her back into the clutches of the same traffickers shatters her trust and the belief that anything she’d felt was real. But just as she’s rescued by the League of Planets and is about to be repatriated to New Terra, Joule reappears with the devastating news that Giselle’s sister has been taken. What’s even more shocking is his promise to find her. He’s already betrayed her once; what’s to stop him from doing it again? How can she trust anything he says? Regardless of the risks, she has to go with him. He’s her only hope for finding and saving her sister. This time, she won’t let her guard down. She also won’t make the mistake of falling in love with him again. Long ago, Joule hardened his heart to the cruelty, misery, and death he’d witnessed in the alien species trafficking trade. As an agent with the League of Planets working deep undercover to combat the trafficking of sentient beings in the galaxy, he can’t afford empathy. To benefit the greater good, he’s often forced to make difficult, even reprehensible decisions. But something about the vulnerable, critically ill Giselle Cartier pierces through the protective wall surrounding his heart. Choosing to save her life is startlingly easy—too easy. He should have known better than to let himself get attached. Because circumstances force his hand, leaving him no choice but to take her back to the slavers. He couldn’t risk blowing his cover for a single human woman—even if he had fallen in love with her. Now he’s involved all over again. When he learns Giselle’s sister has also been abducted, he can’t hold back from offering his assistance. Unable to reveal his real role, he must continue to let her believe he’s a trafficker—one who’s already betrayed her. Giselle will never trust him again…which is smart. Because she still can’t.

Book excerpt: Hell hath no fury like a woman abducted by aliens…twice. The space cruise is supposed to be the vacation of a lifetime. Instead, Jessie Sayles gets abducted by aliens. After the rescue, she’s determined to sound the alarm that humans have been targeted by a galactic slave cartel. But upon returning home, she discovers her apartment has been burglarized, her cat is freaked out, her boss doubts everything she says, and she gets kidnapped again by a horned, amber-eyed alien who claims he’s with the galactic government. She doesn’t know what to believe, but she’s sure of one thing—she won’t allow anyone to interfere with her crusade to warn her fellow New Terrans of the threat, no matter how persuasive—or sexy—he is. Maxx, an agent with the League of Planets, has three years invested in a mission to crush the slave cartel, and he’s about to close in on the mastermind behind it all—until Jessie barrels into middle of his operation. He has to stop her before she unwittingly ruins everything, so he takes her into protective custody. With Jessie in lockdown, the sparks that fly ignite a heated desire, followed by a grudging, mutual respect as they come to realize they’re on the same side. But just as Maxx is about to capture the cartel mastermind, unresolved trust issues threaten to destroy everything he and Jessie are fighting for. And they soon discover the stakes are greater than either of them imagined.

When Kat Whalen meets Prince Lomax of Araset, a tall, handsome alien with curved horns and luxurious fur, he instantly charms her with his good humor, wit, and kindness.

Heartbroken when he leaves, Kat knows she’ll never forget the gentle alien man and hopes one day they’ll meet again. Prince Lomax remembers reluctantly bidding goodbye to the lovely human woman, Kat Whalen, before shuttling off to a League of Planets summit meeting. The next thing he knows, he’s in a detention facility, arrested on charges of conspiracy and insurrection.

Although the prince seems normal, he is still under the influence of the mind control, which makes him a danger to everyone around him.

Alien Mate I’m Starr Elizabeth Conner. Earth’s government falsely convicted me and sent me to Dakon, a primitive, frozen planet. They can send me, but I refuse to become a barbarian’s “mail-order bride,” even if he is tall, muscular, and the chief of his tribe. I am Torg. With this shipment of females, I was sure to get a fine, sturdy mate who’ll bear me many daughters. Instead, I receive a small, curvy, pale-haired female who looks at me with anger and fear. It is only when we “kiss” that I believe things may work out between us. But now rumors say Starr and her shipmates are law-breakers. The penalty for breaking the rules is exile. Just when I have found her, will I have to send my mate away? Alien Attraction I’m Sunny Weathers. You probably recognize me from my reality show, Sunny Weathers’ Excellent Adventures. I’ve had to perform crazy stunts in my career, but this one takes the cake! The producers are sending me to another planet to become an alien’s mail-order bride. As soon my contract is up, I’ll be leaving planet Dakon. Unfortunately, I hadn’t counted on my attraction to Mr. Tall, “Darq,” and Handsome… I’m Darq. The moment I laid eyes on the female with pretty mud-colored hair and a sunny smile, I knew she was mine. Competition for females is fierce, and I was determined to claim a mate from the latest shipment from Earth, so I broke the rules. If anyone finds out, I’ll lose my mate. Alien Intention I’m Stormy Weathers. My love life on Earth is one natural disaster after the other. I’m attracted to bad boys. In a crowd of choirboys, I’ll find the jerk. All I want is a man who’ll love me and my young son, so I’m going to become an alien’s mail-order bride.The chemistry I feel with Romando is electric. A mutual attraction this strong can’t be wrong… I’m Romando, an outcast in my own tribe. One rash, angry act turned me into a pariah and almost got me banished. But what everyone resents the most is that I’m one of the lucky few who’ll be getting a mate. The instant Stormy Weathers blows into Dakon with the other Earth females, my horns tingle. Unfortunately, she’s related to my nemesis responsible for my outcast state. Honor requires I reject her as a suitable mate. Alien Mischief My name is Madison Altman. Don’t think because I’ve disguised myself as a man and have accepted a job that takes me away from Earth that I’m running away from love. I met the love of my life—but he was killed on our wedding day. Chaperoning women to Dakon to become the mail-order brides of aliens pays the bills. Unfortunately, the ship returned to Earth without me! Luckily, Enoki came to my rescue. He might be hot, and sexy as hell with his gravelly voice and throbbing horns, but he believes I’m a man, and we’re friends, not lovers. As soon as Enoki can get me a flight back, I’m going home. I’m Enoki, leader of Dakon. The Fates whispered my mate was coming. But when the females arrived, none of them was mine. Now I must help the stranded Earth man return to his planet. Even though Madison is a Terran, we’ve developed a strong bond. I’ll miss him, but because we’re friends, I intend to do everything I can to help him leave.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outside Influences takes a refreshing stance on life’s journey to address the dynamic forces swirling around outside that affect the direction and ultimate meaning of people’s lives. Life’s journeys are a mosaic of experiences, encounters, interactions, and ideas. What happens on those journeys makes up the stuff of life and determines the outcome of the adventure. But most of what has been written about the journey, life, and success deals only with internal factors people can influence. In Outside Influences, serial entrepreneur Adam Ginsberg finally acknowledges and includes the myriad of outside factors that also contribute to the meaning of people’s lives. Adam shows that the elegant, complex choreography of inside and outside forces is not something to be feared, but something to be acknowledged and understood, with more than sixty catalytic concepts to stimulate thinking, stretch readers’ minds, and help people calibrate the healthy tension between where they are and where they want to be. Not just about gaining plain old success, Outside Influences guides readers to coming to peace with the contradictions so apparent in life. Readers learn to understand what is happening when the idiosyncrasies of the system manifest themselves and appreciate the bounty or cope with the challenges and, ultimately, achieve new levels of success.
