Starfire Read online

  He’d lost his concubine, he’d lost his pirates, and he still didn’t have his son. His hand curled in anger. “Dirty humans!” he raged. “No better than the insects that eat the fodder!” His gray skin turned a mottled red.

  He would need to plan and regroup. Thank the Mistress he had the shuttle on standby under the guard of his second-in-command. If not for that, they would have caught him in his own trap.

  Once more he reeled. How could they have infiltrated so quickly and so efficiently? He had known they were coming, had been prepared for them, but they had arrived early and undetected. Was there someone inside his rogues? Had they found a quicker way to travel?

  “Someone had passed on the information of how to beat them.” He nodded at the thought. “It had to be, otherwise how could they have surprised me?” Perhaps the time had come to mete out some traditional Ru’Edan justice.

  He grabbed the mead in front of him and took a long draught. That was it. Find the one who passed on the information. Make them suffer. Make an exhibit of them. Others needed to learn and see. He smiled. Feral teeth showed in widened lips against a gray skin tone. Yes. Retribution. Seek and make them suffer. Teach them a lesson.

  He pushed back into the shuttle seat and thought, planned, and smiled.

  Can two damaged hearts overcome the past and find a love that’s endless?

  The first time Elara laid eyes on Grayson was when he rescued her from the clutches of a madman and his scientists who were kidnapping humans and conducting horrific experiments on them. That was years ago. In spite of her attempts to deepen their relationship, they remained nothing more than close friends.

  Now Elara is a medic with the Admiralty, and she knows what she wants. It’s been Grayson since the beginning. When Elara is stationed on the Star of Ishtar, she arrives with a plan to further her career. But this time her plan has an added bonus—to finally get her man.

  Grayson’s spent years fighting the connection between himself and Elara. He’s certain it only exist because he saved her life. But his will is failing, and he fears he just might give in to temptation.

  One man, one woman, one psychotic alien. The race is on to save humanity. Past, present, and future.

  Mellissa Davis is your average bookstore owner and aspiring romance author until one day an electronic bookpad slides through the mail slot of her small store. Now all she has to worry about is a sexy, time-traveling stealth ship captain, staying out of the way of the bad guy, and saving the universe. Not much to ask…

  Duvall McCord, an up-and-coming space captain, travels to the past to stop the Ru’Edan leader’s plans to destroy the Earth Empire before it can be formed. His mission? Retrieve the handbook for the Elector. He doesn’t count on saving a woman who intrigues him or having to bring her back to his time in order to keep her safe.

  Time is running out. They must do whatever they can to stop the plot, but will it be enough?
