At least she’d have something pretty to look at while being blackmailed into espionage. It was just one mistake... maybe two. less

Fact 437 - Allie was a piss poor bootlegger. It was laughable that her blackmailers expected her to create a truth serum. If they’d done their homework, they would’ve known her brewing capabilities were nil, she flunked chemistry, and her moonshine was on the toxic side. So for once in her unlucky life, luck was on her side… until she almost blew up the lab. Unfortunately, singed eyebrows were the least of her concern. Fact 543 - Aliens don't understand personal space. Nothing was off limits... moreFact 437 - Allie was a piss poor bootlegger.

Fact 543 - Aliens don't understand personal space. Nothing was off limits. If they weren’t asking about her heat cycle, males were sniffing her for compatibility. One cocky Av even tried to claim her as his mate, but that wasn’t happening, no matter how good looking he was. But staying immune to his antics proved more difficult than Allie expected. Kind words, gorgeous eyes, and wicked grins were always her weakness.Fact 678 - The line between loathe and love easily blurred.It was just one kiss… maybe two. less

Contains: Amber Vial, Emerald Bane, Scarlet Venom*Fact 384 - Pirates aren't princes, they're extortionists.I never claimed to be a good girl. So when the feds showed up, there was only one choice. Run.Turns out my plan wasn't fool proof. One tiny, little, accidental murder lands me in hot water not just with the human government, but with the elven equivalent of the CIA. No one ever said I was lucky... moreContains: Amber Vial, Emerald Bane, Scarlet Venom*Fact 384 - Pirates aren't princes, they're extortionists.I never claimed to be a good girl.

One tiny, little, accidental murder lands me in hot water not just with the human government, but with the elven equivalent of the CIA. No one ever said I was lucky.Shipped off planet, blackmailed, and forced to bootleg for a secret organization is the least of my problems compared to the sexy villains hot on my heels.They don't know it yet, but I'm going to take them down. Messing with a southern belle with a criminal past was their first mistake. Their second? Giving me a weapon.Fact 451 - Being bad sometimes feels good. less

Fact 645 - High heels make great weapons.Somehow, Allie always managed to attract every sociopath within a 100 click radius. Don't ask her how she did it. She chalked it up to the unlucky curse that had plagued her all her life. And Sloven the Slayer was no different. Creepy was his middle name. Luckily, her mama had taught her the advantage of a well placed kick. Fact 792 - Allie hated liars, especially gorgeous ones of the male variety... moreFact 645 - High heels make great weapons.Somehow, Allie always managed to attract every sociopath within a 100 click radius.

Luckily, her mama had taught her the advantage of a well placed kick. Fact 792 - Allie hated liars, especially gorgeous ones of the male variety. After the attempt on her life and her team's betrayal, she tried to go back to her life, to ignore how lonely she was, to forget the nightmares that plagued her and the face of the one man she still wanted despite his lies. But life was never that simple.Fact 864 - Good doesn't always triumph. Sometimes evil just slaps you in the face and steals your popsicle. It was just one lie.I am hooked!

Fact 752 - Karma was a vindictive wench, and Luck, no lady. Allie never believed in Karma, but after the week she'd had, she was prone to believe that if such an entity existed, it had to be a woman. Only a woman could hold such an ugly, nasty grudge, and make Allie's life so impossibly miserable. If spying for the enemy and a broken heart wasn't enough, someone had even stolen her favorite heels. Classy, right? Bad luck strikes again... moreFact 752 - Karma was a vindictive wench, and Luck, no lady.

Spying for Sloven wasn't the plan, but every attempt she made to escape his clutches only entrenched her deeper into a war Allie never wanted to be part of. Good thing her mama taught her how to fight dirty. Allie would play his game, and do the one thing he didn't think possible. She'd win. Fact 521 - Never play a player, or in this case, a southern belle. It was just one compromise..."Once you take one sip of this series, you'll probably want to keep coming back for more!" ~ Goodreads ReviewerMixologists and Pirates Series1 - Amber Vial2 - Emerald Bane3 - Scarlet Venom4 - Cyan Toxin5 - Onyx Elixir6 - Indigo Alloy (May 2019) less

Fact 417 - Kidnapping was not sexy. The old Earth romances had it wrong. Being captured by an attractive elfin alien was anything but glamourous. It was slave labor with a pinch of harassment. But Allie Sai wouldn't take anyone's gruff, even if it meant challenging the scariest man she'd ever met, erm.. alien.Fact 359 - Southern belles never played by the rules... moreFact 417 - Kidnapping was not sexy.

Poker was always her game of choice, so it was fitting that to take down Sloven and win her freedom, Allie had to take a chance and do the impossible - destroy the King's criminal empire and get out without dying. Simple, right? If only. Fact 205 - Luck had a funny way of changing when you least expected it.
