Davis~ It was just another job—at least it was supposed to be—but snaring the feisty blue dragon I'd been contracted to collect and her rider in my trap changed everything. Hunting dragons was my job, and I was damn good at it. I'd never missed a target. Never failed to make a delivery. So why was every step toward turning over my bounty suddenly a struggle? No quarry had ever managed to get under my skin, but something in Zale's haunting blue eyes called to me like nothing ever had before.Zale~ When Itsaso and I were kidnapped, we fought like hell but found ourselves at the dragon hunter's mercy. He locked my dragon away, leaving me to face captivity alone. Now, all I have to rely on is the training that's been drilled into me every day for as long as I can remember and biding my time, waiting for Davis to make a mistake. Or my brothers to find and rescue us. But something happened the first time I truly looked in Davis's eyes, dark pools as deep and enchanting as the sea, and I realized I was in so much more danger than I thought. How could a ruthless dragon hunter be my perfect mate? Contains mature themes.Voir livre
Two Men. One Ruthless Corporation. Zero Margin for Error. Trent Raven was the kind of special operator who didn’t quit — even when the corporations destroyed his country. But now, with his country’s sovereignty in tatters, Raven finds himself leading a patchwork Delta Force squad into the radioactive remains of Pyongyang. Half-trained. Under-equipped. And deployed by the very corporations that tore apart everything he swore to protect. That’s when he came under fire from an enemy that should not exist. He has one chance to find out who’s trying to kill him — before they succeed. Half a world away, Atticus Porter is fighting the same war on a different front. He’s a corporate CEO with one last piece of leverage keeping the wolves at bay. But that leverage is drying up. And the mega-corp that once tolerated him now has a new fleet of space-borne warships — and a kill list with his name on it. They don’t know each other. Yet. But if Raven and Porter can survive what’s coming, they might just do the impossible: take the fight back to the suits who hijacked their world. For fans of The Expanse and old-school sci-fi military grit — this is your next mission.Voir livre
Emma Boone thought her dream job as the new Chief of Security on Lumina Station was going to be easy. She didn't expect corruption, incompetence, and murder. Lumina was a "Small-Town" space station orbiting above an isolated, quiet, agri-colony planet specializing in exporting wheat, corn, bourbon, and a few other interesting, unusual commodities. When she took the job, she thought a small station with a tiny population of just over 4,000 people would be quiet compared to her last post. Boone had barely unpacked her duffel before it all went wrong. She had thought, way out here, there would be less death, and she would be able to keep her secrets. She quickly learned that this far out on the edge of the universe, the only law was the law you brought with you. Who could she trust? More accurately... What could she trust?...Voir livre
