If you like strong women, dragon-shifting warriors, adorable baby aliens, wild adventures, steamy sensual scenes, and happily-ever-afters, then you’ll love exploring exotic frontier worlds with the Alien Adoption Agency!

This exclusive collection includes all three dragon-shifting warrior romances that take place on the frontier moon of Clothos:

Noxx:
The Alien Adoption Agency is going to make all of Luna’s dreams come true.
At least, that’s what Luna believes when she boards a rickety space craft headed for a frontier moon to meet the child she will raise in exchange for a hundred acres of land and a modest stipend. But she doesn’t count on the dangerous animals, the short but lonely nights, or the big blue warrior who informs her he is on permanent security duty for the baby.

Kade:
She’s the target of an intergalactic bounty hunt. If he wants to protect her, first he’ll have to capture her heart.
Aurora Day is running from a crime she didn’t commit – or at least, she didn’t mean to commit. But the intergalactic soldiers on the hunt for the woman known as the Fox don’t care about the details. Hiding out on the remote frontier moon of Clotho is her only hope for survival. But to gain access, she has to adopt an alien baby. Aurora is shocked when she learns that a dragon warrior of the Invicta is part of the package.

Tyro:
Phoebe has nothing but her secrets. Her grumpy alien protector is determined to lay them bare.
Phoebe arrives on the moon of Clotho with a trunk full of secrets and an imagination filled with preconceived notions about life on the frontier. She’s more than ready to scrap and fight for her own piece of farmland, and a future for the little one she is adopting. When her new land turns out to be underwater, and the baby shows up in the strapping arms of an Invicta dragon-guard, Phoebe doubles down on her promise to herself to live free, or die trying.

Indulge in all five Alien Adoption Agency collections:
Collection 1: Clothos
Collection 2: Lachesis
Collection 3: Atropos
Collection 4: Han-2
Collection 5: Sigg-3

If you like strong women, dragon-shifting warriors, adorable baby aliens, wild adventures, steamy sensual scenes, and happily-ever-afters, then you’ll love exploring exotic frontier worlds with the Alien Adoption Agency!

This exclusive collection includes all three dragon-shifting warrior romances that take place on the frontier moon of Sigg-3:

Jhon:
Will this steely dragon warrior choose duty over love?

Jhon was taken from his family at a young age to become a member of the elite Invicta dragon force. Since that time, he has lived with one purpose, putting his duty to his brothers-in-arms before anything. And now he’s out on the tundra, contending with strange predators, mammoths, and islands that float in the sky. The last thing he has time for is love.

But the feelings Bo’s adoptive mother awakens in his dragon threaten to topple his duty, his self-control, and the very foundation of his sanity.

Rafe:
She’s determined never to be with another man. Can this gorgeous dragon-shifting guard change her mind?

After being tricked into indentured servitude on the pleasure ships, Jade Gatlin is determined to avoid male attention for the rest of her days. The opportunity to adopt a little one and start a new life on a frontier moon, where she can heal the wounds of her tortured soul, sounds almost too good to be true. But the baby shows up in the arms of a rakish dragon guard, who holds Jade’s eyes too long and gives her unwanted shivers at every accidental touch.

Rafe has spent his career as a hotshot pilot for the Invicta dragon army. Handsome, fun-loving, and an ace with the ladies, Rafe is stunned when he realizes the serious Terran girl with the golden hair is his fated mate. And even more stunned when she tells him she’s not interested.

Kian:
Only a tiny baby alien could ever hope to bring together this grumpy, dragon-shifting warrior and the lighthearted pre-school teacher fated to be his mate…

Silent and serious warrior Kian is being forced to leave his brothers-in-arms to watch over an Imberian baby and her adoptive mother. It’s bad enough to feel his ancient heart softening for the little whelp. But after one whiff of the beautiful Terran girl meant to be the baby’s mother, he is wrecked by the knowledge that this is his fated mate.

Their long trek across the frontier moon’s dangerous tundra will threaten their very lives.

But what good is Kian’s life when his soul is caught up in a fight against his nature, as he begs the gods to release him from the bond that pulls him tighter every day to the woman with the sparkling eyes and achingly soft curves?

If you like strong women, sexy aliens, wild adventures, steamy sensual scenes, and happily-ever-afters, then you’ll love the world of the Alien Adoption Agency!

Binge them all now!

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes the final book in an epic series about a girl who will travel beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction.

Spensa made it out of the Nowhere, but what she saw in the space between the stars has changed her forever. She came face to face with the Delvers, and finally got answers to the questions she’s had about her own strange Cytonic gifts.

The Superiority didn’t stop in it’s fight for galactic dominance while she was gone, though. Spensa’s team, Skyward Flight, was able to hold Winzik off, and even collect allies to help with the cause, but it’s only a matter of time until humanity – and the rest of the galaxy – falls.

Defeating them will require all the knowledge Spensa gathered while in the Nowhere. But being Cytonic is more complicated than she ever could have imagined. Now, Spensa must ask herself: how far is she willing to go for victory, if it means losing herself – and her friends – in the process.

The final book in the Skyward series will free humanity, or see it fall forever.

After the extinction of humans, how do you define humanity?

Since the Introdus in the twenty-first century, humanity has reconfigured itself drastically. Most chose immortality, joining the polises to become conscious software. Others opted for gleisners: disposable, renewable robotic bodies that remain in contact with the physical world of force and friction. Many of these have left the solar system forever in fusion-drive starships.

And there are the holdouts: the fleshers left behind in the muck and jungle of Earth-some devolved into dream apes, others cavorting in the seas or the air-while the statics and bridgers try to shape out a roughly human destiny.

But the complacency of the citizens is shattered when an unforeseen disaster ravages the fleshers and reveals the possibility that the polises themselves might be at risk from bizarre astrophysical processes that seem to violate fundamental laws of nature. The orphan Yatima, a digital being grown from a mind seed, joins a group of citizens and flesher refugees in a search for the knowledge that will guarantee their safety-a search that puts them on the trail of the ancient and elusive Transmuters, who have the power to reshape subatomic particles, and to cross into the macrocosmos, where the universe we know is nothing but a speck in the higher-dimensional vacuum.

Am I making it worse? I think I’m making it worse.

Following the events in Network Effect, the Barish-Estranza corporation has sent rescue ships to a newly-colonized planet in peril, as well as additional SecUnits.
