The Thieves' Guild Academy teaches three things: Honor above profit. Skill above chance. Family above all. But in a school filled with hackers and thieves, how do you guard your heart?

A Stolen Heart

When your king is immortal—and your ex—can you ever catch a break? Luc's immortal ex allows no lifetime to pass without trying to win him back. That's not happening, but despite Pietas being the jealous sort and manipulative, he's also the king. As his General, Luc can't simply walk away. So when summoned for a "simple mission" of finding a lost child, he suspects it covers some hidden agenda or lurking secret. But he has no idea what a radical change to his life lurks on the horizon...

A Broken Heart

The Thieves' Guild tech Senth is about to claim will make him invisible. Finally, the young halfbreed thief will be out of sight, shielded from the taunts humans fire at him. But that tech reveals he has a human half-brother who holds him responsible for every bad thing that ever happened. Senth might be invisible, but he can't hide from the truth...

A Divided Heart

When the Academy decides to turn away an alien child who's too unruly to train, Professor Brinn intercedes. Despite the warnings of his ex, Kam, the Headmaster, Brinn fosters the precocious four-year-old girl. When she hacks into the prestigious and so-called impenetrable Thieves' Guild, she triggers a deeper, more insidious hack. Now Kam and Brinn must decide whether to trust their well-honed instincts, or their long-divided hearts...

A Stolen Heart is a full length novel set in the Thieves' Guild Academy, a Science Fiction MM Romance series. The scene below is the critical moment when Luc Saint-Cyr meets Senthys (Senth) Antonello for the first time. This massive, enhanced warrior turned businessman has the empire by the tail -- as long as no one discovers Luc's real nature. Enter a tiny three-year-old boy running as if fleeing a monster. The monster (a cruel teacher) showed up, and while Senth hid, Luc directed her elsewhere. | The image of little Senth is taken from the original cover for this book.

After she left, Luc motioned to the boy. "It's safe to come out now. She's gone."

Sticking one finger into his mouth, the boy crept forward, peeked around the door, and burst into tears.

Even Luc, whose experience with children could be recorded on his palm, could tell his cry reflected genuine relief. The boy had been terrified.

Monster chasing him indeed. What had that woman done?

The little one ran, but instead of heading for the door, he made a beeline for Luc and threw both arms around one of his legs, sobbing.

Luc stiffened.

Children didn't run to him. They fled.

Imperturbable, Pietas had called him. Seeing him now, his king would guffaw. What did it matter what Pietas thought anyway? Could he not excise that man from his thoughts for a single day?

How did one coax a child to cease crying? Luc bent at the knees only enough to pat the boy on the head. "There, there."

The child cried harder.

What if the headmistress showed up and found him with a sobbing child? What would she think? Worse, would she accuse him of some misdeed?

Her office held no toys or amusements. This room was all business, a showcase for prospective clients, not children.

"Stop crying, little boy." He tacked on, "Please."

Wailing harder, the boy looked up at him, blue eyes red-rimmed.

Heart in his throat, Luc took stock.

A terrified child. Him.

That ratio was supposed to work only one way.

He showed up. Children ran.

Why didn't this one?

An adult with issues, Luc could handle. That was territory he knew. When one lived with Pietas, one became an expert at adults with issues, as a matter of necessity.

Training, both military and in commerce had taught him three steps.

Identify the problem.

Acknowledge the problem.

Solve the problem.

He knew the problem, so he must acknowledge and solve it. First order of business was not to stand there like a dolt, but instead treat this child with respect.

Like a tiny Pietas.

Luc went down on one knee. "You're afraid," he acknowledged. "It's okay." He brushed the mass of curly hair away from the boy's tear-soaked face. "I won't let anyone hurt you."

Hiccupping, the boy reached up to him.

What was Luc supposed to do? He couldn't pick the boy up.

But this little one looked at him with such plaintive eyes, how could he ignore the unspoken plea?

Kin ambassador Fawni Ruh visits the capitol planet of the empire and meets security expert, Khyff, a human. A death in her family forces Fawni to return home, but she can't bear to part with Khyff and takes him along. Her family demands she cast out the human, or abdicate her future rule.

But how can he hope for a happy ever after, when his hidden truth is her people's hidden lie...

Tropes include: Forced Proximity, Feminist Sci-Fi, Rescue, Redemption, Found Family, Wounded Hero, Alien Heroine

After a brief misunderstanding, Mehfawni tries to get Khyff to relax, and suggests a bath.

Excerpt

Khyff slid down in the oversize tub and leaned back into Mehfawni's arms the way she'd requested. He eased himself into her embrace, his head against her shoulder.

She wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek. "Isn't that better?"

"Mmm." It was nice having her hands slide across his wet skin. So far, she'd never touched him with her claws extended. So far.

"Close your eyes."

"Why?"

"Easy, Khyff." She stroked her hands down his arms. "Relax. Lie back. You don't have to be afraid. I promise, nothing will happen to you that you don't like."

A bit late for that. Mehfawni skimmed her fingers across his brow and pulled back his hair. That felt good. He settled more into place.

"You like that?"

"Mmm."

She toyed with his hair, drawing it back from his face. He rubbed his nose.

"You have such cute little ears." She traced the outside edge of one. "I grew up learning to read people's ears, but humans are a total mystery to me. Your ears don't move at all."

"The better to hear you with, my dear."

Fawni stopped stroking him. "Ah fay?"

He turned his head toward her voice. "It's a line from an old fairy tale."

"What are fairy tales?"

"Children's stories. Make-believe stories that teach a lesson."

"Kin have these. We call them drahee. The word drah means story. When you add ee to a word, it means little." He felt the vibration of her voice. "Tell me one of your stories. The one about ears."

Khyff stretched into the hot water, resting his arms along Mehfawni's legs. Her furskin made her smoother than a human female. His slid his palms across her shins and down around her calves.

"This young girl goes to visit her grandmother, who's sick."

Mehfawni's breath warmed his ear. "What's wrong with her?"

"Who?"

"The grandmother."

"I don't know, Fawni. It's part of the story."

"Oh." She nuzzled his ear. "Go on."

"Anyway, the girl has a large basket with books in it and--"

"Books? You mean printed ones like Kin use? Not the pretend kind you humans read on your debit bracelets."

"Uh...I guess so."

"Why is she carrying around heavy books? Aren't the books on debit bracelets easier to read? I think I'd prefer those myself."

Khyff leaned away from her so she could see his face. "You're supposed to listen to the story, Fawni. It doesn't matter what format the books are in. It's just something for her to carry for the sake of the story. It could have been food or some other thing."

"Oh." Her ears went out. "Sorry."

"She's taking the books to her grandmother, I guess so she'll have stories to read while she's in bed recovering. On the way, she meets an android who offers to carry the heavy basket, but the girl says she doesn't need help. This makes the android angry, so he--"

"I thought androids had controls to prevent anger."

He trailed his fingers along her thighs. "They do, but this android must've been broken or something. Anyway, he takes a shortcut to the grandmother's house, lifts the sick old woman out of her bed, and puts her in a closet."

"In a closet? Why doesn't she get back out?"

"She was sick, remember?"

"Yes, but she could have opened the door and crawled. How sick was she?"

Khyff took a deep breath. "May I continue?"

"Go on. Sorry."

"The android changes form and makes himself look like the grandmother."

"This is a very odd story, Khyffy. When does the ear part happen?"

"I'm getting to that. The girl sees right away that her grandmother looks different and asks why her eyes are so bright. The android realizes he forgot to change his eyes and says, 'The better to see you with, my dear.' And then the girl says, 'Grandmother, your ears are too big.' And the android thinks maybe he's not good at changing form and says, 'The better to hear you with, my dear.'"

"Most peculiar. What does she do next? Does she ever find out it's the android?"

"Patience, Fawni." He rested his hands on her shins. "By this time the girl is suspicious and says, 'Grandmother, why are your fingers so long?' and the android says, 'The better to grab you with, my dear,' and then he grabs her!"

Khyff seized her ankles, and Mehfawni jumped and squealed, then burst out laughing. They both chuckled.

She tugged a lock of his hair. "And what happened to the girl?"

"The android's owner burst in through the door at that moment. He aimed a remote at the android and powered him down. Then he got the grandmother out of--"

She made tsking sounds. "I do not like this story, Khyffy."

"What?" He leaned his head back against her. "Why not?"

"It would never be told on Felidae."

He sat up and twisted around to face her in the tub. "Why not?"

"A male rescuing a female?" Her laughter sounded like a cat hissing. "Not believable."

"What's so unbelievable about that? Humans have told that story for hundreds of years. Maybe even thousands."

"Humans, yes." She covered her mouth and laughed some more.

"How would the Kin tell this story?"

"It would be a boy taking the sick grandfather food to eat, not books to read. And instead of a mean android, we would have a kweeoh eat the grandfather and then dress in his clothes and await the boy."

He twisted his mouth. "Oh, like that would ever happen. Kweeohs are twice my size. The boy would have to be blind not to see it wasn't his grandfather. And that would be way too violent for kids. We have the android scare the girl."

"Kin females would not be scared of an android."

"You jumped, didn't you?"

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.
