But what’s supposed to be a nice little peace mission soon turns into a nightmare. One where pirates might abduct her at any moment and she's assigned a lethally scary - but oh, so sexy - bodyguard! It doesn't help that the body he’s supposed to guard always heats up in his presence... He was an abomination... A beast... Tortured and trained to kill since the day he was made... Xarq has had it with bodyguarding jobs. In fact, he wasn't supposed to have them anymore. But one last job gets between him and his future military career, and he gets a tiny Earth female to protect. To top it all off, she is on her first mission in space, and his bodyguarding assignment turns more into a babysitting duty. Just perfect. But somehow, her oddly pleasant scent lures him in and he can't seem to get enough of her...And that's dangerous. He needs to focus on his job! Because that’s exactly when the pirates attack… less

An Ambassador trying to hold peace… Being an Ambassador wasn't easy. It was even harder when you were the Earth Ambassador on an alien planet that was on the brink of war. As if Naomi didn’t have her hands full with war negotiations and ensuring the safety of humans on Agaria, the last straw is the beastly Ezak-X soldier who seems to push all her buttons wrong. But when the war breaks out and the safety of humans is threatened, the odd, horned beast might just be the only man she can count on.. moreAn Ambassador trying to hold peace… Being an Ambassador wasn't easy.

But with how her body reacts in his presence, can she trust herself with him...? A beast thirsting for war… Arez has waited for this day his whole existence.

But just when he can taste the war on his lips, he gets thrown together with a peace-loving human female who makes his body hard and his blood boil for an altogether different reason. He's never wanted anything more in his life – except maybe for revenge – and he soon realizes he must make a choice. Revenge… or her? less

After being captured by the evil Krezlians not once but twice, nightmares haunt Iris whenever she closes her eyes. She’s finally safe now, but she can’t enjoy her freedom. Not with Zeon dead. He was her light in the darkness, her reason to live despite the horrific experiments at the hands of her captors. He vowed that they would get out together... but in the end, only she did. When Iris discovers she's pregnant with Zeon's child, her world tilts yet again. This half-alien baby is all she has left of Zeon – but how will they survive alone? He'll protect what belongs to him – or die trying... Zeon has made mistakes. He abandoned the Alliance, took up piracy, and got himself locked up in a cell by the very people he hates the most: the monsters who created him. Meeting the human female changed it all, and Zeon will do whatever it takes to get back to Iris – because without her, he has no reason to live. But when he finds her, Zeon discovers there's more to protect than the woman he loves. She's pregnant. With his baby. A baby that his makers would do anything to get their scaly hands on. Baby of the Beast is the fourth book in the Mate of the Beast series, but it can be read as a standalone. Complete with a HEA and no cliffhangers. This book is intended for mature audiences only. less
