Nica's Legacy (Book #1):

When the leading lights of high society on planet Apedra host their glittering three month social “season,” there’s nothing quite like it anywhere else in the Thousand Worlds. No visitor could help but be impressed by the formal dress balls, the beautiful mansions, the exquisite designer gowns, the sprawling country estates, and the glittering jewelry. And, let’s not forget the most memorable happening of the season: the series of brutal, blood-soaked serial murders.
Unfairly expelled from the elite ICARUS Academy for blocking her own powerful psychic abilities to screen herself from the unbearable pain of a searing tragedy from her past, Nica Vinia, sister of Arima Honor Vulpiran, travels to Apedra to visit with her long-time school friend, Bree, and spend the social season with her. Almost immediately, her expectations of a few light-hearted months of dancing and “girl time” go awry. First, her hopes of a restful vacation are disrupted by the presence of Bree’s strikingly handsome brother, Ian, with whom she feels an instant connection and sudden, powerful desire, but who appears to despise her on sight. Then, Nica finds out that the planet itself is dying for reasons its residents can’t understand, and that—in addition to the humans there—Apedra is inhabited by magical beings with ties both to Earth and to the shifter clans of Planet Jasan, Nica’s adopted homeworld. In addition, it is revealed to Nica that her psychic gifts may be the key to saving that entire world from becoming a desolate wasteland of rock and ice. And, as if that weren’t enough, there’s a rampaging serial killer on the loose who has Apedra’s first families in the cross-hairs with Bree as the possible next target.
With her friend’s life and the life of an entire world in the balance, Nica must confront and vanquish the pain of her past in order to fulfill the potential of her enormous gifts and liberate her emotions so that she can experience everything that love, and passion, have to offer.

Tani's Destiny (Book #2):

Even in the 26th Century, a trip to an exotic location is a good way to celebrate a university graduation. But, if Princess Tanjelia Dracon (known as “Tani”) the youngest daughter of the former Lariah Daniels and the Dracon High Princes of Jasan, had planned that kind of vacation, she would almost certainly have left out abduction, pursuit by killer cybernetic clones, and having as her destination the desolate, nearly lifeless mining world of Garza. On the other hand, given a choice, she might very well have included in her plans the well-sculpted, powerfully charismatic, and swoon-makingly sexy Ghanzorig “Steel” Khaan, king of Garza’s people, the Khun.
And, although it’s true that people generally like to keep busy on their vacations, but it’s a good bet that Tani would have picked sharpening her already deadly martial arts skills over struggling to save the Khun from extinction caused by exploitation by evil liquid metal miners, using her new-found healing skills to provide them with much needed medical care, teaching the art of war to their men and women, and joining their fight for freedom.
Romance, on the other hand, is always welcome. Tani and Steel have a chance for just that, if only their tempers don’t get in the way, and if only a new-found force inside Tani that threatens to erupt dangerously every time she gets angry doesn’t destroy her efforts to help the Khun, and her chance at love. Surprises, too, are generally good things on this kind of journey, and there are plenty in store for Tani, as she finds that her special gifts and her shifter Dracon heritage may be the magical key to unlocking Garza’s ancient secret, saving its people, and giving their world a rebirth of hope and freedom.

Rayne's Return (Book #3):

For a woman with a deeply romantic heart, there is nothing like going to a wedding. It’s a symphony of love and tender emotion—the beautiful dress, the flowers, the bride’s maids, the heartfelt vows, and the wonderful food and drink. And, at certain select weddings, a lucky sister of the bride can feel the thrill of being kidnapped by mysterious aliens, transported to a hidden space station known only as the Facility, and subjected to grisly torture and hideous biological experimentation.

Rayne Dracon, daughter of the former Lariah Daniels and the Dracon Princes of Jasan, is the sister in question. Attending her sister Tani’s wedding on a distant world, one moment she’s standing atop a hill and, after disappearing for only a few moments, reappears in the same place looking nothing like she had before she disappeared. She remembers almost nothing of how she came to be where she was and in the appalling condition in which she was found.

Standing nearby when she reappears are the three stunningly hot and powerful Bearen-Hiru brothers, her Rami, or destined soul-mates, whom she barely knew before disappearing, and remembers even less about when she returns. Rushing to her aid, the Bearen-Hirus join with her to discover who took her, where she was, what they did to her, and—most of all—why. With Rayne’s memory returning to her slowly, and a barely understood deadline running out, Rayne and her Rami are in a race against time and space to solve the mysteries of Rayne’s disappearance, to find her captors, and to eliminate them as a threat to the galaxy.

Along the way Rayne feels a growing attraction to these magnetic, oh so Alpha males—an attraction that begins to overcome the layers of protection she has woven around herself as a result of her imprisonment, an attack on her as a child, and feelings of being unwanted by the Bearen-Hirus themselves. Rayne must find the resources within herself to overcome all these fears and traumas before she can decide whether to confront her captors, or allow them to spread their evil throughout the galaxy, and to find true and eternal love with the Bearen-Hirus, or to live alone with her dreams unfulfilled.
