The Beast’s Bride

Interstellar Brides® Program: The Beasts – Book 10

Victoria Morrow is standing at the altar. White dress. Fake smile. Six-month contract marriage to a rich college friend who swears he just needs a “temporary wife.” She doesn’t love Derek. She doesn’t want to marry him. But the money would solve a hundred problems and help out an old friend.

Speak now or forever hold your peace.”

The church doors explode inward. Enter: Warlord Egon. Seven feet of scarred alien warrior. Banished hero. Former prisoner of the Hive. Contaminated with enemy tech.
And absolutely feral when he scents his fated mate. He claims Victoria in front of the gods, her groom, and two hundred stunned wedding guests.

That should be the end of it. Except it’s not.

Because Egon signed a binding Earth contract to star in the hit alien dating show Bachelor Beast. If he refuses to participate, none of his fellow war veterans will be allowed to travel to Earth to find their mates. So now Victoria has to compete on the show… for the Atlan Warlord who already claimed her.

Egon and Victoria must pretend they aren’t fated mates. Pretend they aren’t burning for each other. Pretend she’s just another contestant. All while cameras follow their every move. While Egon battles a violent case of mating fever and tries to protect a female he can’t publicly claim. And while Derek—the jilted billionaire groom—is spiraling into dangerous obsession and a desperation so dark, he’ll stop at nothing to get her back.

Reckless

Interstellar Brides® Program: Primal Mates Book 3

Homicide detective Ethan Blake has been around long enough to know better; better than to believe a word out of the lying Feds’ mouths when they show up to take over his case. Better than to believe the victim’s corpse, covered in Hive cyborg tech, was ever human. Better than to look into the seductive eyes of the mysterious woman asking for his help. A woman who knows far more than she should about… everything. A woman whose kiss makes him lose control. A woman with secrets. A woman whose whispers make him see incredible things in the dark.

Lady Lyra of Atlan is on a secret mission for the Coalition Fleet’s covert Intelligence Core. She lost everything long before she volunteered to be a spy. And now, through a wicked twist of fate, she’s even lost control of herself. The DNA augmentation, meant to make her Atlan body stronger and faster than it should be, has done something else… created a monster.

It’s inconceivable for a female Atlan to have a beast, to suffer from mating fever. But one look at the human detective and the unthinkable becomes reality as something primitive awakens within her. She has a mystery to solve, evil smugglers to eliminate, and brothers to avenge, but destiny has other plans. Because the beast that’s not supposed to exist? She wants. She needs. She makes one relentless, uncompromising demand of the unsuspecting human male… mine.

Bound to the Beast

He’s a warlord on the edge. She’s a teacher on the run. Their worlds are about to collide—in the most explosive way possible.

Warlord Iven has one foot in the grave, days away from a ceremonial execution to save his honor—and the galaxy—from his untamed beast. But when a desperate plea lands a mission in his lap, everything changes. A royal child is in hiding. Assassins are on Earth. And his last chance at redemption lies in a sleepy little town in Washington… in the form of a fiercely protective, infuriatingly sexy fourth-grade teacher named Krystal.

Krystal James has already lost everything. Her sister. Her old life. Her peace. Now, she lives under a false identity, guarding her nephew—the last heir to an alien fortune—with nothing but grit, lies, and a very protective alien cat. Falling for a towering kindergarten teacher with a lethal growl and a gaze that says mine? Not part of the plan.

But fate doesn’t care about plans. It only cares about destiny.

When Iven’s beast roars to life, Krystal must decide: trust the alien protector with her body and heart—or risk losing everything to the killers closing in.

Because once an Atlan warlord claims his mate, there’s no turning back. And this beast has found his match.

The Forbidden Flame

An immortal warrior cursed with protecting all life in the magical realms.
A human woman unaware that she holds the key to saving his soul from darkness.
A ruthless enemy determined to invade all of Lunaterra and fulfill a centuries old curse.

All she wanted was a weekend of fun and excitement, two days away from the brutal orphanage where she is forced to work sunrise through moonset. Abandoned on the steps of the Capital when she was a baby, Cleo Rathmore has no idea where she came from or why her parents left an infant in a basket without even leaving a note. The capital’s royal wedding and tournament seems like the perfect opportunity to spread her wings and, perhaps, escape the maniacal control of her elders–and an arranged marriage to a Death Mage, a horrid, terrifying Revenant. As far as she’s concerned, kissing an Orc would be better. Accepting the match to a mage from The Spire would be a fate worst then death.

Death Mage Devin Grimm traveled to the capital in search of a miracle. He has fought evil for centuries and his soul is paying the ultimate price. A powerful necromancer in the capital is his only hope until he sees her, a human female who is more than she seems, but is promised to another of his kind. Worse, she vows she will have an Orc, a bloodsucking vampire, or even a stinky, hairy werewolf shifter before she accepts one of his kind.

She’s adamant. She doesn’t even like him. Sure, he’s sexy, in that blue haired, scary, death mage kind of way. But he freaking kidnapped her and insists she’s a liar. So why can’t she resist his touch? Why does every kiss make her burn with a forbidden flame? She’s a nobody, an orphaned human. He’s a cursed, merciless warrior on the brink of death. So why does evil stalk them as if together, they are a powerful threat? And why does her foolish heart insist she sacrifice absolutely anything, even her life, to save him?

Fearless

Interstellar Brides® Program: Primal Mates Book 2

From USA Today bestselling author Grace Goodwin comes a scorching Sci-fi alien romance with a strong, fiercely independent woman running from her past and a scarred, merciless enforcer determined to sacrifice himself to save her. ALL of Grace’s novels can be read as stand-alone books with no cheating and always a ‘happily ever after’.

Mercenary. Enforcer. Cursed. I am not a Coalition fighter. I have no honor. I follow no rules. I am Rogue 5. I am Mikos of Astra Legion.

Fate has always been cruel to brutes like me. Exiled from Rogue 5, abandoned by my legion, on the run for a vicious crime, Fate made sure I was captured and tortured by the scourge known as the Hive.

I should have died on that Hive prison ship. Instead, a Coalition ReCon team stormed my ship and with them, a female human too beautiful, too fragile, to step near a damaged, unforgiving enforcer like me. Yet the fearless female not only came close, she touched me.

The moment I caught her scent, looked into her eyes, I knew she was mine, my mate. A female I could never keep, never burden, never claim for myself. I would have spared her. Walked away.

Until she did the unthinkable. She saved my life, then nearly died in my arms.

I had no choice but to bite her, sink my fangs deep, inject her with my essence. Now I’m in her body, in her blood. The most primitive part of me knows she’s mine, and she’s dying, slowly, from my venom. My cursed, hybrid bite.

The antidote is on Rogue 5, where I will face the executioner’s blade.

So be it.

I will never tell my mate the price I pay, but I will save her. If I have to drag her, kicking and screaming, off Battleship Karter, I will. If I must eliminate every Prillon warrior, fighter and Atlan beast on this ship to take her with me, I will. Nothing will stop me.

There is nothing I will not do to save her life. The only thing I cannot do is resist. Resist the primal urge to touch her. Taste her. Make her whimper. Make her beg.

Make sure that long after I’m gone, she remembers screaming my name.

Heartless

Interstellar Brides® Program: Primal Mates

FROM USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR GRACE GOODWIN COMES A SCORCHING SCI-FI ALIEN ROMANCE WITH A HUMAN WOMAN WHO MUST FIND THE COURAGE TO FACE HER FEARS AND TWO BAD TO THE BONE HEROES WHOSE ONLY CHANCE AT REDEMPTION IS THROUGH LOVE. ALL OF GRACE’S NOVELS CAN BE READ AS STAND-ALONE BOOKS WITH NO CHEATING AND ALWAYS A ‘HAPPILY EVER AFTER’.

Warrior. Doctor. Spy. I am Commander Helion, a heartless terror, relentless and unforgiving. Merciless.

My destiny is not to claim a female, to have a family, to be rendered helpless by love.

Despite this, I am matched. A beautiful human female is now mine. Despite my warnings, she is determined to leave her mark on me, body and soul.

Honor demands I resist. I tell her the truth. I will not place a mating collar around her neck. I cannot protect her—especially from me—my choices—the horrors I face every day.

One moment of weakness and she gets under my skin, makes me want things I cannot have. She is everything I am not—and the most dangerous creature I have ever faced.

Claiming her—keeping her—is not possible with my pivotal role in this never-ending war. There is no place in my duties for desire. For need. Too many innocents count on me for protection. Too many lives are at stake, including hers.

The enemy is always ready and waiting, but I never expected her to be among them.

For the first time in my hardened life, I question my sanity. My dark soul. I begin to understand exactly what my enemies have stolen from me—and realize there is no limit to what a heartless warrior will sacrifice for love.

Dragon Enchanted

He’ll burn down the world for one night with her…

Raven doesn’t believe in magic, soulmates, or second chances. She’s already lost too much to dangerous men with secrets, and she has no interest in saving another. But when she finds a gorgeous, half-dead stranger and drags him to the hospital, she unwittingly pulls herself into a world she was never meant to discover. A secret world of dragons, vampires, and deadly enforcers who will erase her memories—or worse—if she learns too much.

Vector Draquonir, dragon prince and legendary warrior, has given up on fate. Without a true mate, his dragon magic is unraveling, and if he doesn’t die with honor, he’ll go mad and turn into a merciless beast, hunted down by his own kind. When a brutal battle leaves him broken and bleeding on a Scottish cliffside, fate plays its cruelest trick yet—because the woman who saves his life is the one thing he never expected to find. His mate.

Vector only has days to claim her before the Dark Elf executioner arrives to silence them both. But the more she tries to keep her distance, the more his dragon magic seeps into her, making her wild with need—desperate for the one man she knows she should run from. When she’s kidnapped by a secret society that hunts supernatural creatures, Vector will burn the world down to get her back.

Rescuing her is only the beginning. To survive, Raven must make an impossible choice—accept the magic of his dragonfire and bind herself to his world of half-truths and monsters forever or walk away and condemn them both.

And Vector? He may have conquered her body, but winning her trust––and her heart––will be the greatest battle of his life.

book cover for Dragon Chains by Becca Brayden and Grace Goodwin

Dragon Chains

Dragon shifters, fake identities, and betrayal; secrets that will either turn two strangers into bitter enemies or forge a passionate, burning love with the strength to last an eternity…

Sent halfway across the world in her identical twin sister’s place to sign a contract with a reclusive billionaire, Katy Toure has no idea what she’s walking into. Before she signs anything, however, she meets the most amazing, drop-dead gorgeous man of her dreams. Even if all she can have with him is one night, she can’t resist the hunger in his eyes or the way he makes her body sing.

Ryker Draquonir, king of the dragon shifters, takes one look at the woman sent to sign a contract with him, a contemporary marriage of convenience, and knows she is an impostor. Fate has stepped in after centuries on his own to give him his heart’s desire; for the woman standing before him is his true mate.

Ancient Draquonir law forbids Ryker from revealing the existence of dragons and other magical creatures to her before he has claimed her, so if he wants a chance at happily ever after, he will have to seduce her to get it; woo her as only a billionaire can. Dragons love to hunt, and he will do anything to capture his true mate’s heart.

Big Bad Beast – Book 4

An Atlan warlord in hiding.

In pain.

In danger of succumbing to a horrible fever.

Only one woman can save him.

One.

All he has to do is find her before he becomes a Big Bad Beast…

 

Beast Charming – Book 5

One dance with this ‘prince’ could cost her a job.

Her freedom.

Her life.

Warlord Tane of Atlan is a warrior, not a prince.

So why is he wearing these ridiculous white pants and gold-trimmed jacket?

And gods help him, why are there hundreds of females in glittering gowns, circling like vultures, expecting him to dance?

The human producers of the Bachelor Beast television show thought this would be a good idea; dress up an unmated Warlord like a fairytale prince, invite hundreds of eligible human women to a ‘Cinderella Ball’, turn on their cameras, and record everything.

And then he sees her. His mate. The only female who can tame his beast.

But…

This princess wasn’t supposed to be at the ball. A borrowed ballgown. A stolen invitation. A friend in trouble. Everything is going according to plan…until she can no longer resist temptation.

Surely one dance won’t hurt?

Even a dance with a beast.

 

Bargain with a Beast – Book 6

Adrian Davis thought getting on a real-life, ‘beam me up, Scotty’, transport pad was adventure enough. Visiting her mother—and the Atlan beast her mom had chosen as a mate—on another planet? Setting foot in an Atlan prison? Completely crazy.

Like totally, bat-shit, what-the-hell-was-she-doing-with-her-life crazy.

She was supposed to spend a few days wandering around with her twin sister, seeing the sights, expanding her horizons. The trip was supposed to be a much needed break from the hectic schedule she was keeping in school. She was only nineteen. She had plans. Finish college. Medical school. Husband. House. Two-point-five perfect kids and a golden retriever named Buddy.

All that changed with one roar of pain. She heard him. A beast. He was out of control, locked behind an impenetrable wall, alone. Suffering the agony of mating fever.

Ready to die. Forsaken.

Adrian can’t let him go. She will have to fight a centuries old system, warlords on another world, and the beast himself to get what she wants.

To save him.

To keep him for herself.

Interstellar Brides® Program: The Beasts – Books 1 – 3

Bachelor Beast – Book 1

Warlord Wulf thought nothing could be worse than being tortured and contaminated by the Hive. That was before he’s ordered to transport to Earth and represent The Colony in an unfamiliar horror… a human reality show. The Bachelor Beast is the hottest new program on Earth, but being set up with two dozen clingy females is not his idea of a good time. When his Beast refuses to show the slightest interest in any of the show’s potential mates, he knows he must choose one or die due to his raging mating fever.

His Beast prefers execution to claiming anyone but his true mate. Wulf is resigned to his fate, a one-way trip to Atlan, a prison cell and execution. It is the only honorable thing left to do.

Until one glance, one sweet, feminine scent lingering in the air and his beast rages for a female who is not supposed to be his.

But try telling that to his Beast when his entire body transforms on live television and one simple word thunders from his lips…MINE.

Maid for the Beast – Book 2

An Atlan Warlord in Mating Fever with two choices: Be the latest bachelor beast on an Earth reality television show to find his perfect mate or face certain death in an Atlan prison. Braun’s not sure which is worse… until a female enters his hotel suite with towels and cleaning supplies.

She isn’t part of the television show.

She isn’t available.

She isn’t interested in mating with an alien.

She isn’t his.

Try telling that to his beast, because one look at the maid and Braun knows he will do anything… anything, to claim her.

Beauty and the Beast – Book 3

I am a Warlord. A beast.

An assassin for the Intelligence Core.

Even so, I’ve been sent to Earth for a simple mission: Find a mate.

I hold no hope. Who would want me? I’m scarred… inside and out.

But one look at the human beauty and there is no question, she’s mine.

When she is taken from me, I will use all my training to save her from my enemies.

Nothing on Earth—or any planet in the universe—will keep me from her.

She. Is. Mine.
