  Passion's magic ignites a fire too hot to touch—and too wicked to die . . . 
   
   
   
  The stars have always called to Ailis, beckoning her to see what other realms were out there. She's told it's impossible, but that doesn't stop her need to explore beyond what others believe. Ailis never expected to change history by creating the first doorway to another realm. She certainly never imagined opening that door to find a commanding dragon who shifts into a man. She's irresistibly drawn to Lennox, powerless against the yearning of her body and the longing of her heart. 
   
   
   
  Magic might have chosen Lennox as King of Dragon Kings, but it's a position he's never wanted. Until the day a new being arrives—and irrevocably changes his life. The closer he gets to the fearless, ravishing woman, the more he fights the passion that flares between them. He lives only for his duty, but one fiery kiss unleashes a firestorm of desire that will ripple across eons and realms. Fate might have brought them together, but will it also tear them apart? 
   
   
   
  The origins of the Dark Kings/Dragon Kings and the entire Dark Universe is finally revealed. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Ki is a petty thief. Her best friend wills her his solo-flyer-call it a space motorcycle: temperamental, fast as hell, and expensive to maintain. Any reasonable person would sell it to get off the street, but Ki isn't reasonable. Margot is a military vet at loose ends. She blows her entire back pay on a solo-flyer, a decision she instantly regrets. Margot meets Ki and thinks she's the sympathetic friend she needs when she feels most alone. Ki thinks Margot is an easy mark for food money. They're both right, but lunch leads to a joy ride to planet Ratana, where Margot is arrested by border control. With her street-smart skills, Ki enlists the help of Ratanese local Zuleikah, a bored rich girl who finds the idea of busting someone out of jail intriguing. Together, they rescue Margot but find themselves trapped on a hostile planet on the cusp of civil war. When Zuleikah proposes a daring plan to escape the planet involving the kidnapping of Prince Thane from his dreary role in the crumbling monarchy, the plan sets off a thrilling chase across the desert and into the farthest reaches of the universe, with the fate of our heroes hanging in the balance.  
  If they can learn to trust each other and the repo men, cops, and three different galactic governments don't catch them, the Galactic Hellcats might use their solo-fliers to carve a place for themselves among the stars.

  She wanted to run her father's business. She got a mad prince, demons, ghosts and a kingdom in debt. 
  As the only child of a successful merchant, Johanna has her wits and a sense for business. 
  The royal family is in deep trouble: ever since the crown princess died of illness, the king has attempted to educate his son to become king. However, the prince is "not good in the head" and quite unsuited to the task. In his grief for his daughter, the king has run the coffers dry: he hired dubious magicians for even more dubious tasks. Those magicians circle like vultures waiting for the kingdom to fail. The king must get his son on the throne, preferably supported by a smart and well-off wife. 
  He holds a ball in his son's honour. Johanna has agreed to a dance. But the guests include a number of magicians who are not there for the festivities.
