When your mate is a Kordolian General who's betrayed the most vicious Empire in the Universe, things tend to get a little heavy from time to time. For the last six months, Tarak's had to divide his time between Earth and space, dealing with various...problems. But he's home now, and he tells me he's not going anywhere. That's good news, because our baby's on the way, and I'm dying to get out of this boring, stifling limbo they call the Diplomatic Zone.

Some scary-looking aliens have just boarded Fortuna Tau, our little asteroid mining station. Kordolians, by the looks of things. What the hell do they want with this floating rust bucket? What are they even doing here? Come to think of it, I've never seen a Kordolian up close before. They're huge and intimidating, with strange silver skin and pointed ears. They have freaky nano-armor, and they're packing a serious arsenal. We humans stand no chance against them.

Rescued from captivity by a group of rather intimidating Kordolians, Noa finds herself recovering at a strange facility in the middle of the desert. SynCorp's medical experiments have left her with an impossible ability she can't control, and nobody really seems to know how to help her. She's fragile and shattered, a mere shadow of her former self, and she has nowhere else to go. She doesn't know what to make of the Kordolians, especially when she can't stop their thoughts from leaking into her mind.

Sergeant Arin Varga has a problem on her hands. She's supposed to be in charge of a squad of peacekeepers. That's something she would normally handle with ease, except that now her people are stuck in Earth's orbit on a doomed superfreighter. To make things worse, they're being held hostage by a group of very threatening, very menacing silver-skinned Kordolians, who are insistent that all they want is safe passage to Earth to kill oversized insects. One particular alien, who goes by the name of Rykal, seems be constantly getting inside her personal space.

Esania thought she and her people were escaping to the sanctuary planet of Torandor. Instead, she's ended up on a wild, uncharted nightmare called Khira, where the violet-skinned savages who guard them are just as poisonous as the deadly flora and fauna. And the pale-winged demon who's just dropped from above might be the most dangerous of them all.

Riana's terrified of these fierce Kordolians. They fight like demons and possess strange alien technology which makes them damn hard to kill. After her nerve-wracking experience on the superfreighter Hendrix II, she wants nothing to do with them. All she wants to do is live a peaceful Kordolian-free life back on Earth. Too bad the Board of Corrections is on her case over past misdemeanors. Too bad someone's trying to kill her. She has no idea why.

Calexa Acura and her crew of misfits are lost, and their ship is in desperate need of repairs. When a massive spacecraft appears in their radius, they're helpless to resist its magnetic pull.

First Encounters are always better when they're amicable, but if necessary, Calexa and her crew will fight.

When Kora Williams wakes up inside the dark alien warship called Silence, fate has spun completely out of her control. She doesn't understand why she was abducted by a vicious, depraved Kordolian, and she can't believe she was rescued by an even more dangerous one. A big armor-clad brute of a warrior, who lifted her into his arms far too easily, as if she weighed next to nothing. She should be dead, or at the very least, doomed to a terrible life as a slave. But she's been saved, and now she's on a ship full of dangerous silver-skinned aliens and their surprisingly human mates.

Arkan Kythelian is the last man standing. He's well aware of that fact. The rest of his First Division brothers have succumbed to the Mating Fever, falling for those gentle, alluring creatures—humans. He should probably be more bothered by it, but he's a little preoccupied right now. See, he's just detected the presence of a group of terrified humans onboard a Kordolian slave-trader ship. He has to go after them. It's a matter of principle.

As one of the Kordolian Military's infamous First Division, Lodan Vorkan's one of the most feared warriors in the Nine Galaxies. He doesn't like the unpredictable, and humans are exactly that. Humans are trouble. Humans bring chaos. When he encounters the strange human called Tasha, all his warning alarms go off. She isn't anything like the other humans. She's faster, stronger—artificially so. She has secrets; she tells lies. A trail of blood-scent lingers around her. She is not the kind of human he would imagine as his mate. But Lodan's control is about to be sorely tested.

The retrieval mission was supposed to be simple. Get in, get the human females, kill the slavers, and get out.

Torin Mardak came to Zarhab Groht to hunt. Some idiot's been selling Callidum weapons on the black market, and he's been tasked with finding the traitor. The illegal trading station isn't exactly Torin's favorite place in the Nine Galaxies.

Alexis Carter is a long way from home, and she doesn't quite understand how she got here. All she knows is that she died once, and now she's alive.

One Kordolian in particular stands out.... He's huge, he doesn't talk much, and his job is to guard her. From what, exactly? The voices inside her head?
