"The next novel in the Ice Planet Barbarians series, an international publishing phenomenon-now in a special print edition with an exclusive bonus epilogue! There are a million reasons why Hassen and Maddie shouldn't work, but despite it all, they find themselves unable to resist each other... As a newcomer to the alien tribe, I've struggled to find my place. It might be because I'm a tad headstrong at times. And yes, I might have thrown a few things at people's heads. But I had a good reason to pitch a fit: my shy sister was stolen away right under my nose. Of course, now she's back and mated. Everyone's happy... except me. I need... affection. Attention. Okay, I'm lonely. Really lonely. Strangely enough, the only person who I think understands what I'm going through is the same blue-skinned brute who stole my sister. It's wrong to hook up with him, even as a mindless fling. Except... I'm not so good with the whole 'rules' thing. And he's not so great with the 'fling' thing. But maybe there's a chance for us"--
As an a'ani warrior, my life matters little. Cloned from the same matter as thousands of others, I am but one of many. Here on the ice planet, though, I can start over. I can become my own person, have my own needs, my own wants.I know what I want. I have known since the moment I arrived.Her name is Angie. She is human, with sad, lonely eyes and a very pregnant belly. To her, I am not just another clone. I am Vordis, the one who laughs at her jokes, tends to her needs, and makes her smile. I will do anything to make her mine.But my brother and fellow clone Thrand thinks the same way, and he's just as determined to win her. Will I have to destroy my bond with my brother to win my female? Or will he cause a rift between us that's impossible to mend?
After being stolen from Earth, I learned that I could live each day in fear...or I could meet life head-on and unafraid. I chose the latter... Which is why, when I find a terrifyingly huge cat-alien male hip-deep in my favorite fishing spot, I don't run away in fear. I introduce myself. Is it reckless? Sure. But I've never met anyone quite like the feline Hrrrusek. And when I catch him marking my door as his territory, instead of calling for help... I invite him in. This instalove novella features a heroine who's having fun being reckless and a hero who doesn't know what hit him. All vibes, very little plot. Enjoy!
Of all the men on the Icehome beach, Thrand's the most competitive and most aggravating. He's cocky. Arrogant. Turns everything into a rivalry. He's a pain in the you know what.He also keeps insisting that I kiss him. After all, I'm the one that told him a kiss didn't mean anything. It shouldn't. A kiss is just a kiss as far as humans are concerned. But Thrand's a clone, a race of people called a'ani, and he's been brought up to play hard and to win.And he wants to win me. But does Thrand want me for the right reasons? Or am I just another conquest?
I've had a full life: wife, mom, divorcee...and then alien property. All of that's changing now that I'm on the ice planet. Here, I'm free again, and I've found love once more. Vaza's older and a widower, but he knows how to make a woman smile both in the furs and out of them. Everyone around me has a baby in their arms or in their belly, though, and it's hard to be the only one without. I love nothing more than being a mama...and when I hear there's an orphan at the Icehome camp, I want to adopt him. Vaza and I have so much love to give, but will an alien baby love us back? (Psst! This story does not stand alone. Start with LAUREN'S BARBARIAN! You'll be glad you did!)
The crew of the pirate ship the Lovesick Fool are worried about their navigator, Sentorr. He's obsessed with working, spending all his time on the bridge. It's not work the big blue alien is truly obsessed with, though. It's a female. Sentorr's convinced that Zoey, a female navigator on another pirate ship, is his mate. She won't show him her face, though, or agree to meet him. She's happy to have steamy, late-night conversations with him over comm channels, though. He's determined to find her and claim her, no matter what it takes. But when he does locate her and discovers that she's been lying to him about who - and what - she is, will he still love her? Or is the fact that Zoey's human too much for this blue-skinned male?
In dangerous Fort Dallas, Rachel is untouchable. All she has to do is hand over her panties every day. Sure, it's weird, but it keeps her safe, right?

That changes things.To stay in the fort's sheltering walls, Rachel needs to 'befriend' a dragon and establish a mental connection with him. Drakoni male Jurik may be protective of her, and caring...but he's still a dragon, and just as lost to the madness as any of them. He can't be trusted. No dragon can. Rachel wears the scars from the last time she tangled with one, so seducing one seems absurd.Or...is it?Because Jurik doesn't see her scars...all he sees is her. Is he her worst nightmare? Or everything she needed?
Being stolen from Earth has taught me that there's nothing in this universe to be trusted. Not people, not promises. So I make sure that I'm prepared for the worst at all times. I fill my homestead with pit traps. I make weapons for fun. I avoid my friendly neighbors. And I never leave my house if I can help it. So when I find a deathly-ill cat alien on my living room floor, I do what any sensible human woman would do. I put a stun-stick to his jock and demand answers. He should be scared. Terrified. So why is this idiot flirting with me? This novella features a skittish weapon-loving heroine, a hero who loves her just as she is, and vibes. Just vibes. Enjoy!

But when Josie goes into labor, an off-hand comment makes Megan point out to her friend that no, things weren't always so smooth.
