Book excerpt: An alien warrior. A reluctant bride. A battle that could destroy them both. Jasper fully believes he’ll never take a bride, but when he wakes up next to Brianna – King Andryssi’s guardian – he learns that the two of them are not only dating, but married. A drunken decision has led to something that Jasper isn’t feeling all that terrible about. A bride? He’s never seen himself as the marrying kind, but he could be. He could see himself doing this. Brianna knows a secret and it’s not exactly the kind of thing that lends itself to abrupt elopements. She’s certain that a hasty divorce is the best bet for moving forward with her life, but Jasper is so very different than she thinks he’s going to be. He’s kind, compassionate, and most of all, he’s protective. She needs that. She’s been on her own for as long as she can remember, but now… Well, now she needs someone to love. When a surprise battle takes them by surprise, Jasper and Brianna are forced to team up to save the king and queen of the planet. If they don’t, they’re going to lose everything – including each other. Author’s note: this is a steamy alien bridal romance in the ALIENS OF MALUM series.

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.

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.

Can she pull off the switch without her new alien husband learning of her deceit? After years spent in the asteroid mines, Varro returns to his home planet only to discover his betrothed has married another. Angry and hurt, he vows to never trust another female again, though he knows he must fulfill his duties to his people and procreate as soon as possible. Now he must take the human bride who's offered to him--a stranger from Earth, no less. But warmth fills him the moment he first glimpses his little bride, and her sweet demeanor soon wins him over. Perhaps an arranged marriage to a human is what the Gods had intended for him all along.

When she's naughty, he doesn't hesitate to apply a sturdy leather strap to her bottom. But he also possesses a gentler side and she can't help falling for the strict but loving alien.

What will Varro do when he learns of her deceit?

Ruby would be happy to jump ship once they reach a port. The problem? The zyanthan thinks he owns everything on his ship, including her. He can think whatever he wants. Ruby has plans, and they don't include Torin. Torin The human female thinks she can outwit Torin, use him and his ship to escape whatever she's running from. He'll play her games, but only for so long. The men in the criminal organization he's dealing with are dangerous, and Ruby's curiosity and stubbornness could get him and his entire crew killed.

She's driving him crazy. While he'd love to dump her on some planet, the best way to keep her safe might be to marry her, but that doesn't fit into his plans.
