The Intersolar Union Series
Action/Adventure Scifi | Slow Burn | 30+ Career Heroines | Long Arc Saga
The Intersolar Union has long protected the unawoken species of the galaxy, so when a pleasure cruiser parks in the human solar system and begins funneling them into sex trafficking rings for a hefty profit, the ISU sends its best to take care of the problem.
The abductees aren't able to return to Earth, but they are offered a colony. And with a new community of awoken humans in the neighborhood, intrigue, danger, and primal instinct will throw them all for a loop.
Convergence, ISU v1.0
Olivia Loxley was a behaviorist with the Los Angeles Police Department. Until her specialty in profiling the human mind becomes of unique interest to Commander Atarian, that is.
When she wakes up in a cell on an alien spacecraft, she gathers her strength for a confrontation that never materializes. Instead, the man asks for her help in the largest raid he's ever overseen: a pleasure cruiser christened the Paramour, which has been siphoning humans into galactic sex trafficking for months. But in order for his mission to go off without a hitch, he needs to impersonate a connoisseur of human flesh.
The real question is, will either of them be able to keep up professional boundaries? Or will they bow to their primal instincts?
Resilience, ISU v2.0
Olivia Atarian is on her way to the ISU's capital, Helion, and knows that a whirlwind awaits her.
Not only will she be meeting her new clan for the first time, but she'll be thrust into the spotlight. She's the first awoken human, after all, not to mention already mated with one of the galaxy's hottest up-and-comers. How are the tabloids going to contain themselves?
When a hack threatens Commander Atarian’s career, the tabloids eat it up like chum. It’s up to Olivia to wade into shark infested waters and make sure they both stay afloat.
Vigilance, ISU v3.0
Still reeling from the upending of her life, Dr Amelia Ahlberg finds herself the sole physician of the new human colony on Yaspur. Luckily, a medical delegate was assigned to help her settle in after the trauma of the Paramour. When a young girl falls ill because of a common flower, Amelia begs him to take her on his research excursions into the jungle. She needs to learn how to care for her people first hand.
But Ezraji Zarabi is confusing. He's erratic, distant, and increasingly hot-headed. He refuses, leaving her to fend for herself as the stress threatens to crack the good doctor's reality. When she starts to hallucinate, she has to wonder...Is it her? Or is it him?
Amelia's instincts are put to the test. Does she trust the one person that's always there when she needs him, or does she question why he's there in the first place?
Persistence, ISU v4.0
Aavar Medansh, chief pilot to the human colony on Yaspur, has his sights set on mechanic-in-training Bree Stewart, but she's a tough nut to crack. She keeps her head down and her sleeves rolled up, working hard, hardly sleeping. He has to enact a little fun and flirty sabotage on his own transpo just to get her attention. When his hard work pays off, he plans the most memorable date of her life.
But he should have been more specific about what kind of memorable he was going for. The jungle’s most maniacal smuggler and her cohorts have decided to cache Bree in for a big payday on the Outer Exchange and shoot down his transport. What was the best night of his life quickly turns into a nightmare as they run for their lives.
Resistance, ISU v5.0
Imani James was a hunter, the kind that tracked and killed poachers in wildlife reserves in Tanzania after serving in the army for most of her twenties. She was good at her job, the best, but getting information and support from the Intersolar Union to protect Renata, the human colony on Yaspur, was like pulling teeth. So much so, that it reminded her of the corruption and illegal trade that plagued her work back on Earth.
When Imani finds out that Arms Master Vindilus Calgari is leaving Renata to "investigate" the corporation that's buying up enslaved humans in the Outer Rim, she's determined to keep him in her sights. She's done her research. Vindilus was a black market enforcer before he donned his starched uniform. What's to say he won't make a sly deal that puts the fragile colony in jeopardy?
Imani's hard-headed suspicions and sharp wit push Vindilus over the edge. He's been keeping secrets from her for months, but not for the reasons she thinks. When rising tempers lead to tangled sheets, their lives are thrown into uncharted territory. Will they learn to accept each other before their enemies gain the upper hand?
Alliance, ISU v.6.0
When a human doll knocks on Fásach's door and asks him for help, he's understandably suspicious. He knows better than to trust her, having just watched his guildmates raid the brothel from which she came...
But she says she knows a place where his girls could live without fear. The human colony, Renata. She's never been there, but she has memories she can't explain, and with his help, they can all reach salvation.
The only problem? There's no way Renata will allow a doll into their borders. Not while an invisible war is brewing. They'll need to take drastic steps and rely on each other to make it there in one piece. What's the saying?
Ask for forgiveness.... Not permission.
