He was so quiet and shy—and much too pretty to be male. But he was also the best damn navigator I’d ever seen. Still, why did I feel so drawn to him? It didn’t make sense—I’m no lover of males. When another crew member attacked him, I was forced to take him into my own cabin to protect him. But then our bodies started reacting and the cravings began. Little did I know that the pretty new navigator was hiding a secret that would blow my life apart…Author’s Note—Savage Union is a secret identity, forbidden fruit, Dark Alien Mafia Romance—the second book in the Brutal Universe Series. It can be read as a stand-alone novel, but you might enjoy it more if you read Cruel Union, the first book in the series first.Enter The Brutal UniverseYears ago everyone who could afford it left the dying Earth and traveled to the stars.

To help the ghosts and save her best friend, Rory walks a dangerous tightrope between the Reapers and the vampires as she draws closer to the truth.

    Rute is no stranger to displacement and loss. As a child she and her older sister, Dina, were subject to their mother's romantic whims, moving from house to house, boyfriend to boyfriend. Then, when the sisters were in their late twenties, Dina disappeared. In the decade that has since passed, Rute has become a husk of her former self, composing daily letters to Dina in the hopes they'll one day see each other again. 
     
     
     
    When the sisters' biological father, Jule, dies, Rute unexpectedly inherits his country property. Curious about this man she's never really known, she takes the opportunity to flee the city, the people, herself. But once in the countryside she meets Matilde, the young, single mother from next door who (along with her brother Kristof) was practically raised by Jule. Rute learns about Jule, a generous soul whose door and heart were always open. 
     
      
     
    Haunting, sparse, and echoing Scandinavian greats like Kjersti Skomsvold, Laura Vinogradova's River is a tightly crafted work that defies resolutions and endings, instead hailing the importance and beauty of the personal journey to one's internal truths and external freedoms.

    What happens in the field, stays in the field. Or does it? 
    After the disastrous way her first archaeological dig ended, graduate student Olivia Sanchez abandoned her dreams of working in the field. Now, thanks to a last-minute teaching opportunity in Cyprus, she’ll get another chance to explore ancient history firsthand. This time, failure isn’t an option. 
    But digging up the past takes on a whole new meaning when she’s forced to team up with her ex, shovel bum Rick Langston. 
    For years, Rick has proven his archaeological skills all over the Mediterranean. But with no graduate degree—and a habit of attracting trouble—his reputation could use a little rehab. All he has to do is play by the rules while he’s in Cyprus and he’ll secure a coveted recommendation for his next job. Until Olivia resurfaces like a cursed relic from the past. 
    Given that their last fling nearly led to their academic ruin, Olivia and Rick can’t afford to repeat their past mistakes. But as they work together under the scorching Mediterranean sun, the heat between them proves impossible to ignore.
