Vrisha Warriors
Xora (Vrisha Warriors Book 1)
Summary:
A vrisha arrives in Grace’s underwater city.
He takes over one of the substations, forcing the workers out.
At the whim of her job, Grace is unwillingly chosen to go below, maintain the station, and stay with the horned, devilish alien.
That is how she comes to encounter Xora. An alien born from a race of dominant fighters and fierce hunters. He is as terrifying as he is mysterious. While also commanding, stubborn, unrelenting…and oddly mesmerizing.
As her fear slips away, other emotions begin to take hold. And Grace finds she wants to know more.
Xora just wants to get off the cold, watery world as quickly as possible. Yet, despite his indifference to humans, he finds his attention captured by Grace. Against his own nature, he allows her near him. Closer than anyone. He’s just too…curious.
For Grace, working with Xora could be dangerous. But when he desires her help on a secret mission, Grace can’t refuse. Even if it could mean putting her job and life (and heart) at risk.
For Xora, Grace’s help could be his best chance at getting home. Assuming he can keep his growing feelings for the bold woman from making him lose sight of why he’s on Oceanus in the first place.

Axrel (Vrisha Warriors Book 2)
Summary:
A deadly rogue warrior and enemy of the alliance has been placed in her care.
Dr. Charlotte Lockley is taken aboard the military vessel, Tarus, carrying high-risk inmates and ordered to treat those badly injured, including Prisoner Zero–a dangerous vrisha prisoner captured on a human trade world.
As a doctor educated in alien medicine, Charlotte is one of the few that might keep the vicious alien alive long enough for him to be contained inside the max-security prison on the planet Fargis.
Despite his supposed crimes, Charlotte slowly begins to heal the broken warrior. Enemy or not, he is her patient and she will do what it takes to earn his trust.
Axrel as she comes to know him is like a viper–sleek, beautiful, and deadly. Though she’s warned of his killer instincts–and the destruction he could cause if he were freed–he never shows her violence.
Axrel, however, has hatred in his heart. And a need for vengeance against those who have wronged him. But the delicate, strong-willed doctor, soothes his fury. Her touch brings him calm, fills him with a different sort of need that burns as strong as his long-sought revenge. He is drawn to her caring nature, which could be his weakness.
When the unthinkable happens, their fragile bond is tested. Can Charlotte change his black heart or will revenge consume him?

Vrexus (Vrisha Warriors Book 3)
Lee thinks she’s safe in the silver city, safe from the monsters. But she’s wrong.
While on a mission for the alliance, Lee Reimer, a politician’s daughter, celebrates a newly made pact with an alien race, unaware a vicious beast stalks nearby, ready to steal her away.
She is everything he’s supposed to hate
Vrexus, a new commander of the deadly vrisha known as the Blood Guard, is a lone wolf, ready to gain respect and rank among his own kind. His mission: take the alliance members from the city and bring them to the queen, alive. Seems easy enough for the outcast turned mercenary.
Only, when he captures Lee, he’s not expecting to like what he sees.
He is everything she should fear
Lee will do anything to save the others from a dark fate. Even making a bad bet and tying her life to the terrifying alien.
And he has no problems keeping it.
But as much as she fears him, she knows he is her only chance of surviving on the deadly world.
And worse, she can’t help being drawn to him. From his ruby eyes to his bladed tail. She soon sees the male beyond the monster who keeps her close and will kill anything that tries to harm her.
But despite his protective instinct and the forbidden heat between them, Vrexus is still determined to complete his mission at all costs. And whatever Lee might feel, it’s his trust she needs the most.
Will he choose her over the queen or deny what lies in his heart?
And will the queen tear them apart before it’s too late?

Xeda (Vrisha Warriors Book 4)
He craves freedom, and she holds the key.
Xeda was once a lethal warrior of the Blood Guard. Now he is a prisoner. A captive to a world without alliances, where the powerful elite seeks to twist him into a deadly fighter for their sinister games.
Refusing to be tamed, Xeda instills terror in the hearts of all those around him. All…except one. A human female who watches him through the bars of his cell, with eyes that see beyond his scars, and beyond his vicious exterior.
Ophilia is desperate for her own kind of freedom. She believes she can save them both if he trusts her.
He shouldn’t trust her or allow her to get close, but he does. Through her sacrifice and her unexpected tenderness, he lets her in. He lets her break past the barrier that is his hatred, revealing the humanity he thought long lost, igniting a heat in him that defies reason, an impossible fire in his blood that calls to this small but brave female.
As the games he’s forced to play draw them closer, their bond defies all odds. But with victory comes the looming threat of destruction, forcing Xeda to confront not just the enemies that surround him, but also the darkness that threatens to consume him.
Can Xeda become what Ophilia truly sees in him? Not a monster, but a male worthy of redemption?

Kryxis (Vrisha Warriors Book 5)
He’s ruining her mission, disrupting her plans, and making it impossible to escape. Worst of all, she can’t shake the feeling that he’s not just toying with her—he’s courting her.
Dani has spent her life following the rules. All she wants is to earn her blue suit, make it to the science sector, and prove she’s more than a collector sent to scavenge artifacts from dead worlds.
She just has to survive this one last mission.
But the planet isn’t as empty as it should be. Something is stalking her in the ruins—fast, relentless, and far too intelligent. A deadly alien with sharp instincts, strange features, and an unsettling fixation on her. They’re ruining her mission at every turn, and she’s certain they want to harm her. Or worse.
Kryxis has spent his life in solitude, a predator feared by all. And he prefers it that way. But lately, the silence has grown hollow. He craves something more—someone to share his den, his hoard, his hunger.
Then a ship arrives. And with it, her.
The human is fearless, reckless, and utterly captivating. At first, he thinks he’ll devour her. But now? Now he’s determined to claim her, to prove he’s more than a monster in the dark—he’s a warrior worthy to be her mate.
