Das geheime Kind der Bestie
Der Geisteszustand von Atlan-Kampflord Velik hängt am seidenen Faden. Sein Paarungsfieber wütet. Seine Bestie kämpft tagein, tagaus gegen ihn an. Die Bestie will jagen. Töten. Er muss seine Gefährtin finden, oder einen glorreichen Tod im Kampf suchen. Er nimmt einen Auftrag an, der so gefährlich ist, dass er weiß: Er wird nicht zurückkehren.
Während er auf den Einsatz wartet, fühlt er sich verloren. Hält sich fern von allen, denen seine gequälte Bestie Schaden zufügen könnte. Sein Schicksal ist besiegelt … bis seine Bestie ihren Duft wittert. Ihr Gesicht sieht. Augenblicklich weiß die Bestie, dass diese Menschenfrau ihm gehört – und niemandem sonst.
Keine Bestie hat jemals seine Gefährtin in Besitz genommen und danach verlassen.
Wenn er die Mission überlebt, wird er um Vergebung flehen. Er muss überleben. Er muss zu ihr zurückkehren, auch wenn er denkt, die Götter selbst wollen ihn tot sehen.
Herzlos
Interstellare Bräute® Programm: Gewaltige Gefährten 1
KRIEGER. DOKTOR. SPION. ICH BIN KOMMANDANT HELION, EIN HERZLOSER SCHRECKEN, ERBARMUNGSLOS UND GNADENLOS. GRAUSAM.
Ein Weibchen zu beanspruchen, eine Familie zu gründen und von Liebe hilflos gemacht zu werden, ist nicht mein Schicksal.
Dennoch wird mir ein Weibchen zugeordnet. Ein hübsches Menschenweibchen gehört jetzt mir. Trotz meiner Warnungen ist sie entschlossen, ihr Mal zu hinterlassen – auf meinem Körper und meiner Seele.
Die Ehre verlangt, dass ich ihr widerstehe. Ich sage ihr die Wahrheit. Ich werde ihr kein Paarungshalsband umlegen. Ich kann sie nicht beschützen – vor allem nicht vor mir, meinen Entscheidungen und dem Grauen, dem ich mich jeden Tag stelle.
Doch in einem Moment der Schwäche berührt sie mein Innerstes und weckt in mir den Wunsch nach Dingen, die ich nicht haben kann. Sie ist alles, was ich nicht bin – und das gefährlichste Wesen, dem ich je begegnet bin.
Sie zu beanspruchen – sie zu behalten – ist wegen meiner Schlüsselrolle in diesem endlosen Krieg unmöglich. Meine Pflichten lassen mir keinen Raum für Verlangen. Für Begehren. Zu viele Unschuldige verlassen sich auf meinen Schutz. Zu viele Leben stehen auf dem Spiel, einschließlich ihrem.
Die Feinde sind immer bereit und warten, ich hätte jedoch nie erwartet, dass sie zu ihnen gehört.
Zum ersten Mal in meinem harten Leben zweifle ich an meinem Verstand. An meiner dunklen Seele. Ich beginne, zu verstehen, was mir meine Feinde gestohlen haben – und erkenne, dass es nichts gibt, was ein herzloser Krieger für die Liebe nicht opfern würde.
Bad Boy Beast
Interstellar Brides® Program: The Beasts – Book 8
Atlan Warlord Kai, Journal Entry 1578, Earth: I’ve searched for months. My female, my mate, appeared and disappeared like a ghost, a specter who torments me. Her scent haunts me, body and soul. My beast hangs onto control by a thread. Soon I will lose the battle with mating fever and succumb to the savage fury, the agony turning blood to fire in my veins. Soon, not even our mate will be able to save us.
The Alien’s Runaway Bride
The Crash Landed Series: Book 1
I am supposed to be on my honeymoon right now. I was about to marry the most eligible bachelor in town. Until I caught him doing the nasty, with someone else, minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle.
I should be heartbroken, right? So why do I feel that in running away I escaped a fate worse than death? Why are these Tequila shots sliding down my throat like sweet fire? And why can’t I take my eyes off the gorgeous weirdo who just walked into the bar wearing an outfit that looks like he stole it off the set of a Star Trek movie?
Twelve hours later, I wake up naked and sprawled across a large, muscled chest. One look at my ring finger and I realize, I married that smoking hot, sci-fi nerd. Problem is, I can’t remember the actual ceremony, or how the drunk bear ended up locked in the bathroom. I can’t remember if we—ummmm, you know—. Maybe the family of raccoons raiding the kitchen cabinets will fill me in.
He says his name is Rygar. Did we really, REALLY, get married? He thinks so, because he starts talking about fate, and mates, and outer space.
I think he’s sexy as sin but a little off his rocker until the Men In Black show up. I might be able to hide my clueless husband from nefarious government agents, but I’m a complete failure at keeping my hands to myself because—YUM. Unfortunately, if my surprise, mysterious husband is telling the truth, he’s not from around here—as in not from this solar system—and worst of all? He’s leaving as soon as he fixes his broken spaceship… and he expects me to go with him.
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.
Beast’s Secret Baby

Atlan Warlord Velik is hanging on to sanity by a thread. His mating fever rages. His beast fights him every moment. The beast needs to hunt. To kill. To find their mate or surrender to a glorious death in battle. He volunteers for a mission so dangerous, he knows he will not return.
Waiting to deploy, he is lost, keeping distance between himself and those his tormented beast could destroy. His fate is sealed…until his beast picks up her scent. Sees her face. In an instant, the beast knows this human woman belongs to him and no one else.
No beast has ever claimed his mate, then left her behind. If he survives the mission, he will beg her forgiveness. He must live. He must return to her, even if he suspects the gods themselves want him dead.
Marked Mate
Interstellar Brides® Program – 24
Did you miss this exciting novella by Grace Goodwin? In case you missed it in the Pets In Space anthology, it’s now available directly from Grace!
Rebecca Amber knows what it’s like to lose all hope. That’s why she volunteers to help struggling teens, always taking along her giant, two-hundred pound lap-dog named Lilah. The Bull Mastiff loves the kids almost as much as Rebecca does. When an eerie stranger shows up on the streets with a new drug called Quell, Rebecca will have none of it. Little does she know that interfering with this drug dealer means taking on alien criminals far worse than anything she’s faced before—and they will not hesitate to eliminate her—and her pet.
Elite Hunter Stark is on Earth to stop a vicious alien gangster from setting up shop on the unsuspecting, primitive planet. Stark has a job to do and the last thing he needs is a mysterious woman haunting his dreams. She is more dangerous to his peace of mind than the outlaws he hunts. She keeps company with a clumsy, oversized, hairy creature she claims is a beloved pet. Worse, she refuses to back down from an enemy determined to kill her.
How will he defeat his enemies when he is consumed with the need to protect her, touch her, and claim his MARKED MATE?

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.

Rogue Enforcer

Cormac of Styx Legion knows his value to his people. He is an enforcer, a weapon to be wielded. Nothing more. He is accepted but not loved. Feared but not welcomed. He is brutal, efficient and utterly alone.

Cormac vows to protect her. Shelter her. Hide his darkness. Make sure she is mated to a worthy male, not a killer. But gods help him, she won’t leave him the F#CK alone. She won’t stop tempting him to touch her. To tame her. To give in and take what he wants.
When Cormac—her ‘perfect’ matched mate—claims she’s a mistake, Abigail Gregg has had enough bullsh!t from men on every planet. If Cormac doesn’t want her, she’ll find someone she wants. A male with mountains of muscle, scars, tattoos, a rebel attitude and fangs. God, yes please. A male with fangs who’s not afraid to bite.
