At the Mercy of Her Pleasure

She's addictive. He can't touch her. But what if he kissed her just once...

To free his enslaved brother from a cruel master, Senth, an all-party-fun-and-games thief, must take on the hardest assignment of his life: stealing from the Empress. If he doesn't, his brother's life is forfeit.

To make matters worse, Senth has no choice but to work with NarrAy, a by-the-book rebel captain whose addictive pheromones could jeopardize the mission and destroy his will. When the unthinkable happens and NarrAy professes her love for him, Senth must decide if what he feels is real.

Can he trust this woman? If he loves her back, can he still save his brother? Or will he end up at the mercy of her pleasure forever...

Books in this series include At the Mercy of Her Pleasure, For Her Only, Her Crystal Clear Truth, and the Complete Antonello Brothers Box Set.

Excerpt

NarrAy has hired professional thief Senth to steal back a locket that was stolen from her deceased parents' belongings. Senth thinks it's the key to a fortune, but it is so much more...

---

A hovercar and driver met them at the curb, and the smooth trip along Conqueror's March Boulevard brought them down through Tarth City Park, past the massive Destine Pietan Stadium, and into the Imperial Business District. They drove into the shadow of the Nizamrak Building, which rose above the city like a dark sentinel.

Senth craned his neck looking up as they passed it, and then sat back, scowling.

Broxus put down his reader. "Problem?"

Brushing off his cloak, Senth shook his head.

NarrAy observed the interchange without comment, recalling that Senth's daddy dearest owned the building.

Once they reached the Royal District, the car pulled up to the front of the luxurious Royal Arms Hotel. Shaped like a giant arrow being driven into the ground, it displayed Tyran engineering at its finest. Like their suite on the ship, the empire-class suite at the top sported a common living area and four bedrooms with private baths.

NarrAy's corner room had a breathtaking view of vast Tarth City, showcase of the empire. Impossibly tall spires drove through the clouds. Steady shuttle traffic climbed into the sky to the west, near the starport. The wide swath of Tarth City Park divided the metropolis in half all the way to the horizon, and the Cyr de Typhin River meandered through the center, its bright blue water glinting in the sun.

She directed her bagbot to its place against the wall. While it deployed into closet mode, she went back to the common area and waited in a wingback chair for the others.

A few minutes later, a sock-footed Senth went sliding past her on the dark wood floor. Arms out for balance and holding a shoe in each hand, he slammed up against the wall and laughed.

He tossed the shoes on the floor and shoved his feet into them before launching himself across the back of the burgundy leather sofa. And kept going, sliding right off its slick surface and onto the floor.

Senth jumped to his feet and dusted himself off, noticed her, and turned bright red. "I...um...I was getting..." He gestured toward his room and hit the large glass lamp next to him. Senth made a grab for it, righted the shade, and set the lamp back on the table. He stepped back and stumbled over a potted palm. He danced sideways, tripping over his own feet.

Brox entered, and Senth ran right into him. Brox steadied him.

"Sorry!" Senth jerked back.

NarrAy chewed the inside of her cheek, fighting not to laugh.

Her security lieutenant brushed himself off. "You don't have much Kin blood, do you?"

"What?" Senth flipped back his long hair. "I'm half Kin."

Brox rubbed his chin. "Most Kin are more -- graceful."

A flush of color darkened Senth's cheeks.

NarrAy covered her mouth, all but choking.

Encie popped into the room, a weapon out as she checked it. "Everybody ready?"

"I'll get my cloak." Senth fled toward his room.

Her Crystal Clear Truth

When firestorm scientist Joe enlists the help of reclusive security expert Shohn to find his birth mother, neither expected to uncover a connection that challenged everything they knew about their world, their families, and themselves.

Shohn has only one goal: live a lie-filled life undercover. The elite head of security permits herself no family ties and few friends. But when firestorm scientist Joe needs help to locate his birth mother, and hires Shohn, she begins to rethink her rule of isolation.

Unknown to them, their intensive search triggers an alert that brings powerful, dark forces into play. Every attempt to uncover the truth results in more cover ups. But why? Who is this young woman, and who is the unknown person or power foiling Shohn and Joe's attempts to find her?

But maybe the better question is—what is she?

Tropes include: Slow Burn, Age Gap, Genetic Engineering, Older Woman Younger Man, Forced Proximity, Feminist Sci-Fi

Excerpt

This scene takes place after Joe was rescued by Shohn and taken to her home for safekeeping. He had awakened to find an intruder in his hotel room. Shohn received an alert and decided he needed a safer place. After all, this man holds the possible key to two conflicting missions that Shohn must deal with. This scene is right after she settled him in and then left the room.

Hands behind his head, Joe lay on the bed. He couldn't sleep if he tried, so he hadn't bothered pulling down the sheets. Faint light from around the door cast a bit of light on the ceiling. Before long, that went out, and he found himself in darkness.

He pulled out his mobile and brought up Imperinet. "Search people," he told the device. "Basic background on Kin Shohn Lexius."

The unit made an answering ping. "Full name Lexius, Shohnahki, born 4624 on Felidae, Lexius Township, age forty-four years. Employed by idBot 4645. Volunteer at Kin Kids Healthcare. Do you require current address?"

"Think I've got that pretty well covered. What's her position at idBot?"

"Ms. Lexius is the Senior Liaison on the Lucsondis security team."

"What is Lucsondis?"

"Lucsondis is an umbrella company owned by Luc Saint-Cyr."

"Saint-Cyr?" Joe rubbed the tight spot between his eyes. Wasn't that just great? "Is there a civilian world equivalent of her position?"

"Comparative titles include Senior Vice President of Security, Senior Vice President of Security and Transport Division, Executive Director of--"

"Okay. I get it. She's powerful and she works for Saint-Cyr." Hadn't his father often lamented not being able to seek research grants outside the TCF? Saint-Cyr's interests in firestorms was a matter of public record. More specifically, in the crystals created during firestorms. "Okay, idBot. Is Ms. Lexius married or dating anyone?" He gritted his teeth, waiting for the answer.

"According to Idle Time Ezine, Ms. Lexius is not and has never been married. She is listed as number seven on a list of the ten 'Most Sought After Businesswomen of Tarth City.'"

And why did that give him such a feeling of satisfaction? Joe set aside his mobile.

So she worked for Saint-Cyr. What would it take to get Shohn to set up a meeting with the man? And if she did, what would it take to keep the TCF from firing him on the spot?

She might be helping him at Saint-Cyr's behest, or because of the research of Joe's father. Maybe even his own. After all, why would an executive that high up in the company take on a missing person case like his? And then bring him right into her own home?

What were her ulterior motives? Was she planning corporate espionage on Saint-Cyr's behalf? But how would she have known Joe would end up in a vulnerable position, the victim of a break-in?

Unless she set it up in order to gain access to him. Or had herself been the one in that room.

No. He'd felt the vibes. Definitely male.

If she was spying on him, why did she have to be so damned attractive?

Joe swallowed. He'd been right. He wouldn't sleep for a week.

Live forever. Not trust forever #scifi #immortals

Updated on 03/26/2024 by Kayelle Allen

Live forever, not trust forever. When covert alignments, mistrust, mistakes, and regrets dominate every day life, you need a CHOSEN. While it’s good to trust, you must also trust the right person.

My heroes live forever, and need trustworthy Chosen companions. But what if one of them was not what you thought? What if the person you loved didn’t love you? Would you want to live forever surrounded by traitors? Who wants to live forever — all alone? No one. Therefore, you need someone to trust.

What it means to be CHOSEN

Called to serve
Honored to protect
Obedient to the vow
Safeguards of the truth
Enablers of life
Neutralizers of threats

In the secret society of the Chosen, a group of mortals who serve the immortal Sempervians, being gay or straight is no different from being brown-eyed or blue-eyed. No one notices or cares. But disloyalty among the Chosen is punishable by death, and in this trilogy, everyone’s loyalty is questioned.

Covert alignments, mistrust, mistakes, and regrets pepper the playing field. Both the Chosen and the Sempervians harbor enemies and spies within their ranks — some known and tolerated, others concealed behind layers so convoluted eternity isn’t long enough to figure them out. When you factor in multiple allegiances and aliases, knowing who to trust takes on a whole new level of danger — especially if you live forever.

Live Forever – not trust forever.

When I wrote the Tales of the Chosen (Wulf, Alitus, and Jawk) I knew the books lived in a much larger universe. Now, several new books in that same universe mean change.

The Chosen series, with its significant plot points make vital reading. Readers who don’t want explicit content will not even know what they missed. Readers asked for these stories in a less hot version.

Once I edit the three books to make them more mainstream, the sweeter versions will merge into an anthology. I’ll keep the Chosen boxed set as well — with the erotic content for those who like it hot. In addition, each set will contain An Immortal’s Guide to Tarth.

I will take the individual books out of print forever once that new set releases, later this summer or early fall.

In the meantime, I’m putting them on sale. In June, pick up Wulf for free. The two sequels, Alitus and Jawk, cost only 99 cents each. The boxed set includes a fourth book, An Immortals Guide to Tarth ($2.99). Unlike my Sempervians, these prices won’t live forever, because on July 1st, prices revert to $2.99 each. Grab them now if you want hot romance at a good price. After this fall, the individual books go away.

Where to find the Chosen

If you want the boxed set, this is where to find it. If you want the individual books (because, say — you already own Wulf) then you want the links after this.

When you live forever, mortals who learn the truth can prove deadly.

♥ Wulf - Superstar Wulf Gabriel must depend on Luc, the one man he swore he would never trust again. The most powerful man in the empire - the Harbinger. But how can he, when trusting this man is what got Wulf's father killed...

♥ Alitus - Ordered by the Empress to find out if Wulf, the lover of a friend, is having an affair, Alitus investigates. As the Minister of Imperial Intelligence, Alitus has access to every camera and remote in the empire. Which is a problem, because Wulf's affair is with Alitus...

♥ Jawk - Affairs between Luc and Jawk, as well as between Wulf and Alitus test far more than alliances and trust among the Chosen. These dalliances rupture the eons-old Chosen alliance forever, and put every immortal at risk...

Human Perfect

In the android business, the best of the best are Human Perfect.
A Terran Crescent story set in the same time and universe as the Tarthian Empire books -- but on the Earth side of the galaxy.

Human Perfect

Christa despises androids. The texture of plastiflesh skin jars her senses. The non-smell of animate machines makes her skin crawl.

Don't even get her started on robots, or worse -- andys that look human. Her job as a corporate spy for the android maker Innersoul puts her in touch with the creatures every day, but also requires her to judge them.

When she runs into Humancopy Progress Rep Tom Karellys, she can't believe her luck. Using a cover identity, Christa wines and dines him. What truths will she uncover?

Or worse, what truths will she reveal...

Includes a bonus sci fi short story "Invisible Ink" set in the same universe.

In this scene from Human Perfect, the heroine is dining with Tom, who works for an android company.

Excerpt

Christa picked up her napkin. "You were about to tell me whether this was your first trip to Earth."

"I'm here often. Last year, my company sent me to seventeen conventions in Terra City alone. I research trips and assign ratings."

"Maybe Humancopy could relieve you of some of that waiting you dislike so much. Our andys are perfect for research."

Smoothing the napkin onto her lap, she scoffed. "Thank you, but andys are incapable of the level of judgment a company like mine requires. Our clients have discerning tastes."

"Judgment is a matter of making choices based on requirements and a bank of options. Our andys do that well. In tests, 94.82% of the participants couldn't tell Humancopy from human." He leaned back as the waitress brought their food. When she left, he bowed his head in what Christa assumed to be prayer.

"Tom, may I ask you a question?" She played with the stem of her glass, avoiding his direct gaze.

He sat back and folded his hands. "By all means."

"Can andys pray?"

"Maybe the question is better asked, 'should they?' A monastery on New Terra ordered two andys from us to research texts. We made them appear to be monks."

Christa adjusted the napkin on her lap. "But they can't pray, can they?"

"They fold their hands, bow their heads, and chant along with the other monks. The leadership there wanted them to look like everyone else."

"But to pray? That's sacrilege, isn't it?"

"We don't know if they're praying." Tom slipped one finger around the rim of his glass. "They're moving their mouths and saying the words. Does that constitute prayer? Ask the person next to you in church." He dug his fork into his food and paused. "I can't say. I'm not the one they're praying to."

"But andys don't have souls."

"Can't be proven." He lifted his fork but paused before taking a bite. "Unless you're one."

Christa despises androids.

The texture of plastiflesh skin jars her senses. The non-smell of animate machines makes her skin crawl.

Don't even get her started on robots, or worse -- andys that look human. Her job as a corporate spy for the android maker Innersoul puts her in touch with the creatures every day, but also requires her to judge them.
