  Unit 78: Rescued

  A cyborg soldier with one mission:

  To rescue an innocent girl from a vicious cult

  But in order to fulfill his duty, he must do the unthinkable.

  Can Rich and Kyrin find each other when they are lost in the Breeding Compound?

  Unit 78, formerly Corporal Richard Hardgraves, is a Cyborg with a mission: to rescue the Amiral's daughter from the dreaded Tr'Low Cult on Beacon 5. The Tr'Lows have a prophesy that a half-metal man will come from the sky and father the perfect child on a chosen bride--Rich tells himself he will play the part just long enough to grab the girl and run.

  Kyrin Pierce is a Peace Keeper with IPKA--the Interstellar Peace Keeping Association. Lured to Beacon 5 by a fake call, she was captured and now she is being prepared for an unspeakable ceremony. She too plays into the Tr'Low prophecy because of her flame-red hair. As the priestesses of the cult inject her full of hormones to drive her wild with need, she has nearly given up hope of escape.

  Rich might be more metal than man but he still has a heart and when he sees what the Kyrin has been through, he aches for her pain. But in order to get her out of the Tr'Low compound, he must do the unthinkable...and give the cultists what they want by taking Kyrin in their public ceremony.

  Kyrin doesn't care that the man who has come for her is a cyborg, she only knows that her body needs him desperately. And after he rescues her, her heart needs him too.

  But Kyrin's father, Admiral Pierce, doesn't approve of his daughter loving a "metal monster." When he separates them and sends Kyrin to a hospital to take care of her "problem" can Rich rescue her again...in time to save their baby?

  Half man...half metal...all heart. The CyBRG series by Evangeline Anderson and Mina Carter.

  Alien Lord’s Captive

  Earth girls might be popular...but they're definitely not easy.

  Sergeant Cat Moore has a little problem. Well, actually a big problem... When her base is attacked and boarded by an alien war group, she finds herself in the sights of their leader, Tarrick, a Latharian war-commander. Their captors might be ripped, hot warriors looking for that one special woman, but the women of Sentinel Five have this little thing against being slaves. Even if their leader is well on his way to stealing Cat's heart as well as her body... Because her sexy alien has a thing about making sure her every need is met and has some very inventive ways of doing so. Until she gives him a bad case of mating marks around his wrist, and all bets are off.

  Why? Because her sexy alien lover left one thing out when he introduced himself… Like the fact he’s a freaking alien prince…

  The strong, not so silent, and ruthless type, Tarrick's duty as a war commander means little time for himself. With no women of their own, a base full of human women is a bounty he can't ignore. Nor can he ignore the little human whose voice called out to him across the galaxy, a woman he'll stop at nothing to make his own.

  Then a new player enters the arena. A dangerous rival challenges the K'Vass claim on Terran space and all it's women. Tarrick K'Vass can't afford to let any of the earth women be captured, especially not his little human, Cat. When she’s is taken, he'll do anything to rescue her. Up to and including starting an intergalactic war...

When a chance encounter brings her into contact with the handsome Callan, Duke and cousin to the Queen, she thinks nothing of it. After all, what royal duke would want a woman with a broken, mad dragon?

Ordered by his cousin, the queen, to pick a bride at the ball or she’ll pick for him, he’s between a rock and a hard place. Until he sees her. The tiny woman in the purple gown runs him a merry chase over the ballroom but one look and he’s determined. She will be his.

  And she is, for the briefest of moments before his duty intervenes and he has to return a wayward youth to his father before he gets himself into a lifetime of trou
ble. When he returns his delicate princess is gone, leaving behind a single shoe…

  Furious, Callan launches a hunt for his love…one that leads to a woman who is not who she pretends to be, a raid on a brothel and a fight with a troll. Can he persuade his delicate princess she’s not broken, but that she’s the perfect dragoness for him?

  Which will he choice?

  You’ll have to read Finding the Jewel to find out

  Prologue

  “Let me out! Let me out, damn it!” Chloe pounded on the door and shouted at the top of her lungs—not that it would do any good. Not that anyone would let her out. They never did.

  Still, she couldn’t stop trying. She had been stuck in this hell-hole for almost a month and it was driving her crazy.

  “Let me out!” she shouted again, knowing it was useless. When she’d first been kidnapped she had spent a whole day and night screaming and pounding on the door and it had done her no good at all. But Chloe wasn’t a quitter so every once in a while she tried again.

  With an angry sigh, she slumped to the floor with the unbreakable wooden door at her back and surveyed her prison.

  It certainly was a far cry from the holding cell where she’d once spent the night after a peaceful protest she’d joined in college had turned into a riot. There were no bars, no bare floor, no lidless toilet streaked with unmentionable substances in one dirty corner. In fact, quite the opposite.

  Her jail was a freaking mansion. Or more accurately—a Smart House dressed up like a mansion.

  It had glossy hardwood bamboo floors, sleek modern furniture in shades of black, white and taupe, an oval fire pit in the middle of the living room, an infinity pool to swim in, a vast king-sized bed with five thousand thread count sheets, a soaking tub with massage jets, and a state of the art, surround sound entertainment theater.

  But none of those things mattered to Chloe. None of them made the house any less than what it was—a prison.

  A prison that was slowly starving her to death.

  As if in answer to her morbid thoughts, a square of light suddenly began to grow in front of her, about three feet above her head. It was an empty cube for a moment, then, suddenly a blue worm-like creature appeared, framed by the golden light. It had long eyes on stalks and multiple arms and legs sticking out from its wormy body. All of it was dark, indigo blue.

  The first time Chloe had seen this, she freaked out. Now it was almost normal—if anything in her new life could be considered normal.

  “What do you want?” she snapped at the creature who was staring at her with disapproval on its wormy-face—although how she could tell the worm was disapproving of her, Chloe would have had a hard time explaining. It was more a feeling the worm radiated than an actual expression.

  “Chloe Deems,” it said in a high, squeaky voice. “You are in violation of your scheduled routine. Why have you not weighed in yet? Your body-fat measurement system is calling for you, yet you ignore it!”

  Sure enough, from somewhere upstairs in the luxurious bathroom, Chloe could hear a plaintive voice calling her name. The sound was somewhat muffled because she had tiptoed in that morning and piled the puffy goose down pillows from the vast king-sized bed onto the scale, hoping to shut the damn thing up. But still she could hear it…

  “Chloe, it’s time for your morning measurement. Chloe…come to be weighed…”

  Chloe sighed and pressed her fingers to her eyes, fighting back the urge to shout at her worm-like captor. It didn’t do any good to shout—they didn’t care if you shouted at them. It just got her all worked up for nothing and made her feel worse.

  “I don’t want to be weighed today,” she said in a low, mutinous tone. I don’t need to be weighed. I’m very healthy—I’m in good shape. That’s all that should matter.”

  “You are in quite good physical condition,” the worm acknowledged grudgingly. “But you do not appear as the sexual ideal for your planet. This is what we require you to look like.”

  For a moment his wormy face disappeared and another image took its place—a stick-thin model with glossy blonde hair, a pouty mouth, and about 2% body fat. It looked like a picture clipped from a magazine and Chloe wondered savagely if the Commercians—as the wormy captors called themselves—got all their fashion and health advice from Cosmo. Did they also think she needed to have her 10 most embarrassing beauty questions answered or know 101 tricks to keep her man happy in bed?

  “That’s been photo-shopped,” she snapped, pointing at the picture. “No real woman has a shape like that—you’d have to remove your last three pairs of ribs to get a waist that skinny. She’s like a skeleton with makeup on!”

  The picture of the glamorous model disappeared and her captor popped up again.

  “This removal of ribs—is it a medical procedure many Earth women undergo?” he inquired.

  Chloe swallowed hard. As bad as things were, they could always get worse. She didn’t need her wormy captors putting her under the knife to make her the perfect girl they wanted so badly.

  “Uh, no,” she said quickly. “No, I was just kidding. I was trying to tell you that the picture you showed me has been altered to show a woman who can’t really exist.”

  “If such a female cannot exist than why is she your planet’s ideal standard of beauty?” the worm demanded in his high, squeaky voice. “You must strive harder to reach this standard, Chloe. We have potential buyers coming and they expect only the best from Dimensional Doors Discount Females.”

  Chloe made a face. “Yes, because putting the word ‘Discount’ in your company name is a sure way to make people think they’re getting the best of the best.”

  “Assuredly it is,” the worm said confidently. Apparently his species didn’t get sarcasm. “Which is why we need you to look your best. Also,” he added. “You know you will not be allowed access to any food until you weigh in.”

  “Like the food you let me have is any good,” Chloe muttered, dragging herself to her feet. Nutrition pellets and celery—that’s what she’d been living on for weeks now. Like a freaking guinea pig in a cage. It was enough to make her want to give up.

  “If you have lost weight instead of gaining it, you may be allowed a treat,” the blue worm said enticingly. “You know there are many treats in the food-prep area—you just have to earn them Chloe.”

  “Shut up with your damn ‘treats’. I am not a dog you can train,” Chloe snapped, but nonetheless, she dragged herself to her feet. Upstairs in the bathr
oom she could still hear the scale calling her name… “Chloe…Chloe…”

  “Coming,” she shouted irritably as she made her way up the long, elegantly curved front staircase. “I’m, coming—just hold your damn horses!”

  As she trudged up the stairs, the fitness monitoring bracelet strapped to her wrist counted them off with breathless excitement.

  “Oh goody—stairs!” it exclaimed. “Two, three, four—look at you go, Chloe! You’re going to be in perfect shape before you know it. six, seven eight—Yay!”

  “Shut…up,” Chloe grated at it, knowing it would do no good. Every damn appliance in this horrible house talked to her about her weight and fitness and she wished she could break every one of them with a hammer. It was like living in an apartment full of personal trainers who had only one client—her.

  This really is a hell hole, she thought to herself as she trudged and tried to block out the chirpy voice coming from her wrist. How did I get into this mess in the first place?

  Oh right, she had been helping her friend, Amanda, take the perfect picture for that new dating app, Naughty-but-Nice…

  Chapter One

  One Month Ago

  “I’m telling you, Chloe, you ought to join. Are you getting my good side there?”

  Amanda flipped her long blonde hair to one side and looked over one slim shoulder, a pouty, flirty look on her pretty face.

  “I’m doing my best if you’d stop moving.” Chloe gave an exasperated laugh as she pressed the button, capturing her best friend’s pose. They were standing in front of her bathroom mirror—a wide pane of glass that covered most of one wall—and trying to get just the right shot. Both of them were reflected in the shiny surface but they could scarcely have been more different.
