Print Length: 350 pages
Publication Date: August 22, 2015
The Lawmen of the Republic: fierce, honourable, soldiers, men. But what happens when all that they’ve been told turns out to be lies?
Blurb:
The wars to establish the Republic are over. The families of the Ton have risen from the blood and ashes to claim the new aristocracy. Their prodigal son, First Lieutenant Alexander Cade, is the Lawmen Academy’s youngest and most successful graduate. However, his muddied bloodlines force his exile to the Northern Wastes, the last unclaimed territory of the Republic.
Lailian scout Natalia Volkova knows that her survival in a rebel labour camp rests entirely on her iron will and killing prowess. Her fierce quest for freedom is tempered by only one thing: conflicting memories of the young Republic lieutenant who helped liberate her camp, and then returned to the fold of her people’s oppressors. She never expects that their paths will cross again – under very different circumstances.
Cade’s honour limits his choices to one: take his band of specialised Lawmen into the Wastes, and protect it and its people. There, he meets Talia, a tough, resilient refugee who holds little respect for the Republic and its laws. But as a deathly outbreak leads to a desperate race for a cure, Talia and Cade will find themselves on uncertain ground: What is right is not always obvious, and what is honourable is not always right.

From Cyndi: Battle Born is a spinoff of my Shadow Assassins series. However, it’s not necessary to have read the earlier books to enjoy these new stories. All of my books are cross-genre romances. They blend elements of science-fiction, fantasy, and paranormal romance. The Battle Born books will lean a bit more toward sci-fi, but there will still be plenty of steamy romance. Enjoy!

Bring Me to Life by August Kert
Print Length: 172 pages
Publication Date: August 25, 2015
Plan to survive: befriend a monster. Not in the plan: falling in love with him.
As one of the few humans left alive, Lyric knows a hundred different ways to survive—none of them pretty. Anything to stay out of the “farms” where the not-so-mindless zombies keep humans they eat to prevent themselves from rotting.
But humans have to eat too. While foraging for food, she’s captured and taken to a farm. Her fate seems sealed—until she notices one of the zombies watching her with a different kind of hunger in his eyes.
Anson clings to the hope that he can somehow overcome the disease that turned him into a cannibal. Lyric stirs needs and desires he’s forgotten he had, and her fighting spirit brings back the ragged edge of a past that long ago slipped from his memory.
When Anson offers moments of freedom in exchange for her help, Lyric grabs the chance to survive. She never thought her emotions would cast a very different light on the monster…or that desire would complicate her plan to escape.
Warning: Contains a hopeless romantic zombie trying to find his humanity, and a plucky heroine desperate for a way out—even if it’s down a zombie’s pants. Not for the faint of heart…or the squeamish. Let’s just say kissing is off the menu.

If love is the ivy, secrets are the poison.
After enduring heartbreak at the hands of a dishonest woman, Edward Bailey lives according to scientific principles of structure and predictability. Just the thought of stepping outside his strict routine raises his anxiety.
Adding to his discomfort is Iris McTavish, who appears at his school’s faculty meeting in place of her world-famous archeologist father. Worse, the two of them are to pose as Grand Tourists while they search for an element that will help harness the power of aether.
Iris jumps at the opportunity to prove her worth as a scholar—and avoid an unwanted marriage proposal—while hiding the truth of her father’s whereabouts. If her secret gets out, the house of McTavish will fall into ruin.
Quite unexpectedly, Edward and Iris discover a growing attraction as their journey takes them to Paris and Rome, where betrayal, blackmail and outright theft threaten to destroy what could be a revolutionary discovery—and break their hearts.

If Dred and her crew can win the deadly game of cat and mouse, the payoff is not only life but freedom—a prize sweeter than their wildest dreams. Yet the sadistic Silence would rather destroy Perdition than let a single soul slip from her grasp…

Though many would resent me for the decisions I have made, they never experienced my struggle to find love and meaning in a world where I do not belong.
A freak of nature, the humans don’t want me.
Far more valuable than they could ever know, the Cats don’t appreciate me.
Lost in the conflict between two galactic empires, the pirates can’t save me.
Standing at the center of an interstellar war, the Earth Defense Council never saw me coming.

On a routine tech recovery mission at a downed alien warship, Major Darby McCabe is contaminated by a psychotropic alien device.

***This book can be read alone but is intended to be read after The Gemini Effect (currently on sale for $0.99). Book 2 and this synopsis contain spoilers for book one. Continue to read at your own risk.***
Cassiel has a mission, one that will alter the universe. If she fails, all sentient life will die. But to succeed, she must convince the Tri-System Alliance and the Quille, the bitterest of enemies, to agree to coexist. Ha! … Like that will ever happen.
Cassiel has a secret, kept hidden for years because of a promise. But now she must fully embrace her identity as a Gemini Twin if there is any hope of success. As her psychic gifts are discovered, they engender awe, fear, and even hate in others. How far will they go to destroy what they see as evil? What will others risk to see she remains whole?
Cassiel loves two men. One, Commander Maximus Sandalius, her soul mate, literally fell out of the sky. He’s a sexy, strong, dominant war hero, and Cassiel cannot resist his pull. The other, Steven Hardon, her loving husband and protector of Harmony, will do anything to keep her. When Cassiel refuses to choose between them, they come to a creative compromise. Their efforts are rewarded with a deep psychic connection and a few precious moments of bliss.
But life has other plans and pulls the triad apart. Steven is abducted by the Quille, his broad shoulders making him the perfect Quille surrogate. Maximus now has to keep Cassiel safe. With their Gemini Bond strengthening, Cassiel is the focus of Max’s undivided attention. But when the Sergius returns, will Maximus be forced to choose between his duties as Second in Command and as Cassiel’s mate? Will Steven survive to see Cassiel again?
Dr Cassiel Sinclair’s destiny is upon her. No longer just a healer from a secluded, rural community, she is fast becoming what her mother warned her never to be. From the city of Scandium to the vast reaches of space surrounding Zeda-12, she is pulled from the shadows of anonymity and thrust upon the galactic stage.
Yes, Cassiel has a mission and her destiny will not be denied. With Cassiel and Maximus exhibiting all eight Gaian psychic gifts, could there be hope? With the Gemini Effect in play, how many others will be affected? Exactly how it will manifest is anyone’s guess. But as the unexpected continues to occur, the question remains. Could the Gemini Effect be unbound? And if it is, how will it influence this volatile situation? Can Cassiel get past her anger about Steven’s abduction to negotiate with the Quille? Can she broker for peace and still negotiate for Steven’s safe return? Will Cassiel have to choose between saving those she loves and saving everyone else? Can one ever really escape destiny?

Space Wrangler (Space Rustlers) by Kate Donovan

Print Length: 369 pages
Publication Date: September 1, 2015
On this frontier, love could get you killed. And that’s part of the rush.
Space Rustlers, Book 1
Like all miracles, a rip in space has its dark side. Through it, adventurers explore new worlds, smugglers make their fortunes, and wranglers like Rick Gage pit their skills against hordes of magnificent robots. The downside? Five percent of those who enter “the sinkhole” are never seen again.
Alexia Montoya isn’t looking for thrills. She just wants to find her brother, who disappeared in the sinkhole five years ago. Conventional wisdom says he disintegrated within seconds, and the powers-that-be want her to stop looking. Stop agitating. Stop ruining business.
When desperation drives her to transit the rip herself, the official reception is armed and hostile. Luckily, someone steps in to protect her: a handsome, gun-toting wrangler—who believes her quest is futile.
Rick has one piece of advice for Alexia. Go home. But the pesky woman persists until the authorities come up with a more permanent solution. Reunite her with her brother—permanently—by throwing her into the sinkhole. After all, no one would dare challenge their absolute authority.
No one, that is, except Rick.

Publication Date: September 1, 2015
In the last decades of the twenty-first century, ten families, seeking to escape an increasingly devastated Earth, focus their power and wealth on building spaceships that will allow a select few to leave Earth and colonize the world they call New Eden. Here, on their new home in the Paradisi System, these Founding Families hope to avoid the environmental and political disasters that were destroying Earth. But they find that the world they claim for their own is already inhabited, and the Ddaerans, although human in their appearance, possess abilities that the Founders and their descendants find both intriguing and frightening …
As a descendant of one of the Founding Families of the colony of New Eden, Abby has lived a privileged existence—up until the moment she wakes up in a rent-by-the-hour hotel room in the worst sector of New Seattle with no memory of how she got there. Friends and family are suddenly strangers, and the only memories in her head can’t be hers.
When the authorities accuse her of working for the Resistance movement and have evidence to prove it, Abby enlists her only friend, Raman, for help. Their quest takes them into the dark underbelly of the brave new world her family founded and reveals a far-reaching conspiracy which threatens not only Abby’s life, but the very foundations of New Eden.
