So does Dr. Sugar Jennings, Archaeologist and Ancient Earth Historian. Now you can read all 3 of the alien panther's fun, funny, action-packed romantic adventures in one easy to read collection. BAD PANTHER (Book 1) Sugar Jennings has a problem and Bad Panther has the purr-fect solution. Dr. Sugar Jennings is an Archaeologist and an Ancient Earth Historian. She’s also the host of an ancient artifact of enormous power. Now everyone wants Sugar dead because they want the power she possesses, but she can’t let them get it. Desperation drives her to seek help but no one is willing to risk their own life in the job of protecting hers. Or no one did until a mercenary panther shifter decided she might be worth the trouble. Now all she has to do is convince the ancient artifact she carries not to kill her panther guardian for trying to help her. MAD PANTHER (Book 2) Sugar left on sentient blade business. She came home to a very mad panther. When the sentient blade sends Sugar on a rescue mission to find the another of the sentient blades, Dr. Sugar Jennings sneaks out of her Bad Panther’s bed without saying goodbye. Why? Because a woman warrior has to do what a woman warrior has to do, despite the alien panther warming her sheets. DAD PANTHER (Book 3) Looks like Bad Panther is about to become Dad Panther, and Dr. Sugar Jennings, host of a Protector blade, is about to become the mother of twins. Axel of Rodu, her alien panther mate and next in line for the Lyran throne, is already in Dad Panther mode and freaking out. When the fourth and final sentient blade surfaces and sends out a distress call, Sugar has no choice but lead the existing blades on a rescue mission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True love can defy time, but can it defy space, aliens, and being abducted? Aliens In Kilts is a funny, spoofy, romantic adventure through space and time. And that's just the beginning of the chaos! Apologies to the Whovians, Trekkies, and those who have the Force strong within them. There’s none of that happening for Angus MacNamara and Erin O’Shea from a primitive 1950s Earth who are trying as hard as they can to make the best of their alien situation. MATCHMAKER ABDUCTION The big blue planet that most call New Earth desperately needs matchmakers. The original matchmakers are dead, and much worse, their DNA is no longer viable for cloning. Solution? Go back in time to one of Earth’s other—thankfully slower spinning—versions, and retrieve the alternates of the one couple in any universe who seems able to do the job. It's Angus and Erin versus aliens in this humorous Science Fiction Romance. NATE'S FATED MATE After a hundred years and four other wives, he should have been over her. Nate likes things calm and peaceful. Predictable outcomes suit him. Or they had until he realizes Sheena will soon be walking out of his life again. Letting her go didn’t work out last time he did it. This time Nate has to stop her. SHADES OF DARCONE Trouble, she was. Big trouble. HIS trouble. New Earth humans call him alien, but it is they who are strange. His fierce appearance ensures no human bride will choose him. Humans and their drama—he wants no part of it. No. That is a lie. He wants Bri at any cost. He’s always wanted Bri. Has he really been waiting two hundred years to make Brianna McNamara his? Author Note: It’s challenging to describe the full range of romantic humor in these books, but if you like movies like Galaxy Quest, Spaceballs, or more recently, Guardians of the Galaxy, then you’re definitely going to like this series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get lost in this collection of intense, compelling romantic thrillers by award-winning author Hope Anika. The Guardians Series...where love is just the beginning, and life's greatest gifts come in small packages. Book One: The Bequest 2016 Finalist, The Daphne Du Maurier Award For Excellence in Mystery/Suspense Sometimes life surprises you… Cheyenne Elias has inherited a child. A boy she doesn’t know and doesn’t particularly want; a boy whose mother was once Cheyenne’s most hated person in the world. There are a million reasons to walk away: her anger, her past, her certainty that there is nothing benevolent in this act by a woman who almost killed her. But abandoning the boy to a system she barely survived is not an option. Will Blackheart has lost everything. His SEAL team, his country, and—upon occasion—his mind. Worse, he’s lost something that has the capacity to kill thousands. Left for dead in the Afghan desert, Will has risen solely to regain that which was taken...and to punish those who dared take it. His only lead is the son of a dead woman. Her only goal is to save a child. As they come together in a clash of anger, mistrust, and potent, unwanted desire, Will and Cheyenne must put aside their differences and navigate the endgame of a woman for whom nothing was taboo… Book Two: Blindsided Sometimes the future starts with the past… When the boy who broke her heart crashes back into Ruby Jones's life, she's determined to give him the boot. There are some things a girl simply can't forgive, and being forgotten is at the top of the list. The last person CIA Agent Rafferty Blackheart expects to find while retrieving the message left for him by his dead partner is the childhood friend he left behind two decades earlier. But the woman he discovers bears little resemblance to the girl he remembers, and even though the sight of her breathes life into everything he's spent years fleeing, walking away from her is an impossibility. Because Rafe is on a mission, one he can't complete without Ruby. So no matter their dark history, their mutual distrust, or the intense, unwelcome pull between them, they must come together. To avenge the death of an innocent; to save a child. And to stop a madman bent on reshaping the human race. Before it's too late. Book Three: Hallowed Ground 2022 Finalist, Daphne Du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense Nothing stays buried forever… After Ellie Broussard saves Sean McDougal’s son from drowning, she walks away, unwilling to involve herself with the rakish Irishman and his charming boy. Ellie has suffered a devastating loss, and her world is one of chosen isolation and calculated vengeance. She has only one focus: to find the monster that stole her child and turn his world to ash. Sean can relate to Ellie’s suffering. Having lost his wife to cancer, his sole focus has become raising his boy, and love…well, love can take a long walk. He’s in Louisiana to locate a cache of stolen art, and even if he’s taken aback—and reluctantly intrigued—by the mysterious and chilly Ellie Broussard, he knows better than to tumble down that rabbit hole. But when they’re thrown together on assignment to recover the cache, Sean and Ellie have no choice but to put aside their mutual misgivings and work side by side. To share; to trust; to discover they are not as separate as they appear. And as Ellie’s deadly hunt approaches its culmination, they must risk everything they hold dear to stop a murderer who is readying his next strike, and to save an orphaned girl whose only hope lies in their willingness to defy the darkness and step into the light.

They send a doomsday weapon that detonates multiple missile warheads over twenty-four sparsely inhabited land areas around the globe. It causes a biological transformation using nanobots that threaten to destroy all life forms on the planet within days. At the same time a Peruvian archeologist discovers a hidden chamber under a royal Inca temple in Cuzco, Peru that tells a story of past Inca rulers who seemed to worship alien beings from the time of the Spanish Conquistadors. During the attack an alien who calls himself Òmon makes contact and offers to help stop the alien nanobiotech contagion from engulfing Earth. Brandon Cole who works for NASA and a special team from the U.S. government are sent to Peru by the President to investigate the discovery. Òmon says he is one of the Guardians left behind to protect Earth from this ruthless race of beings intent on wiping out all living organisms on Earth so they can terraform the planet to their DNA. Over the centuries, Òmon has recruited a special group of human beings from the past to help fight the invading alien race. The battle begins between the attacking aliens, Òmon and the human race to prevent all life on Earth as they know it from being erased forever. The psychological impact on the human race is considerable. The ecological impact on the planet and the solar system will be incalculable. This is only the beginning for survival of the human species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 1 of 3 introduces the Ooracai and their progeny, the Sentinels and the Guardians. The Guardians had fought their arch-enemies, the Dominion, for over two thousand years in secrecy. The two implacable foes had waged a brutal war of attrition and kept it hidden from humanity. Genetically engineered soldiers from different quadrants of the Universe were locked in a war that could not be lost. As a new millennium approached, things were coming to a head as the Dominion executed a master plan 20 years in the making. Tom Mumford was just elected President of the United States. He swept into the Oval Office in a landslide. However, Mumford had a secret, one he could not share, even with his wife Misty. He'd made a deal with the devil, and he knew there would be a price to be paid somewhere down the road. Mumford and a small circle of people he trusted implicitly had become aware of the secret struggle being waged by the Guardians and the Dominion. He had to decide which side to back. This decision would have wide-ranging implications for America but also for the rest of humankind. Mumford knew that his own government had high-ranking "assets" that were working to undermine his country. They were also embedded in the Military and all walks of life. Confronted with a crisis, not of his own making, Mumford would have to decide which side to align with as the fate of the Earth and all of humanity hung in the balance. As their President wrestled with his demons, FBI Special Agent Jesse Smalling and her partner Liz Washington were in the middle of their own investigation that threatened to blow the lid off the entire conspiracy. Their efforts had brought them to the attention of the Dominion and placed their lives in danger as a result. The Guardians tried to remain in the background, doing everything they could to keep Jesse and Liz alive. As the Guardians knew only too well, there were other, even more sinister forces at play, and the outcome, along with the fate of humanity, was not all that was at stake.

We are led through a divinely inspired labyrinth of science and stories, logic and coincidence, on a path of remembering where we come from and the wonder and magic of who we are. Finally, for the first time in print, Drunvalo shares the instructions for the Mer-Ka-Ba meditation, step-by-step techniques for the re-creation of the energy field of the evolved human, which is the key to ascension and the next dimensional world.if done from love, this ancient process of breathing prana opens up for us a world of tantalizing possibility in this dimension, from protective powers to the healing of oneself, of others and even of the planet. Embrace the expanded vision and understanding that Drunvalo offers to the world.
