Miari Here's what I know: aliens invade our colony every three years, hunt and claim the most beautiful of our women, then leave. Here's what I don't know: why the king of them is here this time, and why his black, glittering eyes are trained on me. A hybrid with red alien skin and brown human eyes, I'm not pretty. I've got no family and no plans to ever have one – least of all with this monster of a male. I'm an inventor, a mechanic, a tinkerer. The alien king wants me for reasons I can only guess at, but I'm not about to be taken for a slave and his response to me is something I know I can engineer my way out of. He plans to come back for me when I'm of age, but he'll have to find me first. Our little colony is a scary, desperate place and I'm less afraid to face it, than to face him or the strange, alien sensations he stirs... Raku She is my Xiveri mate, yet she runs from me – straight into the horrors of her small, savage moon colony. Slaughtering in her defense is easy, while gaining her trust will be the true challenge. She fears my kind and the horrors my treacherous general has inflicted on her humans. Does she not know that it is my blood rite to keep her safe against him and his even more dangerous off-world allies? No, she thinks herself my slave and in place of acceptance, offers me only pacts and bargains. Shamed by her pacts, I still take them all gluttonously, because though she knows only hate, I know only need. Eventually, we will need more than just these pacts between us if I am to convince her that she is my Xiveri mate and if she is to take her place at my side, not as my slave, but as Voraxia's queen. Taken to Voraxia is a full-length, standalone, interracial, SciFi romance complete with an alpha alien overlord, warrior heroine, fated mates who are also enemies-to-lovers, world building and extra steamy bits. All Xiveri Mates books can be read as standalones, each one with a guaranteed HEA. NO cheating, harem or love triangles. Some dark themes, illusions to abuse, and debatable consent due to intergalactic cultural misunderstandings may be trigger warnings.

“You know I’m going to get away from you eventually.” “Over my dead body.” “Yes,” she said, blinking at him like he was an idiot. “Exactly.” Echo knew that being caught by a ruling Berserker would mean becoming his pawn, a play thing to be used for her powers. That wouldn’t be her fate. She’d rather run lost through the woods forever, dangerous though they may be. But there’s something even more sinister than beasts and Berserkers lurking in the woods. Something both undead and deadly. She can’t fight it alone. She’ll have to turn to the Berserker who’s caught the trail of her scent and won’t let it go. He says she’s his. She says never. He says forever. Bones, bonds and hearts will be broken. Some battles can’t be won. Run, Omega, run. * * * * * * * * * * From the author of Lord of Population and Taken to Voraxia, step into a scorching, dark fantasy romance full of unforeseen twists, epic battles, omegas with magic and monsters who always get the girl. This is Gatamora. Dark City Omega is a standalone, enemies to lovers, MF romance not suitable for young readers. Additional TWs and tropes can be found on Elizabeth's website.

Kiki There's no way I'm letting this alien who calls me his Xiveri mate claim me as his. He may say the right things and stir emotions in me I never expected to feel again for any male, but his kind has already taken too much from me as is. Trapped now on his harsh, snow-consumed planet waiting to be hunted, with no way of escape, I'll do the only thing I can. The one thing I've been training for since the aliens first came to the human moon colony to hurt us. I'll fight. But when our enemies become one, will I be able to leave my prejudices behind and fight, not against, but alongside him? Va'Raku She hates me, my human mate, but she honors me all the same. Nobu has never seen a queen before who is able to wield sword and staff, fist and tongue. A warrior queen, and mine to claim in the ceremony of the Mountain Run. But when she fights me, it is not out of honor. She fights out of fear. She has been hurt before and views me as she does him. As a monster. Perhaps I am, because the one who harmed her will suffer torture upon torture at my hands. I will need to catch him first and unfortunately, he has plans of his own and allies off-world. My queen and I will need to fight together to bring him to his knees and bury him once and for all... Trust, first, is what I need from her. Taken to Nobu is a full-length (95k words), standalone, interracial, SciFi romance complete with an alpha alien overlord, warrior heroine, fated mates who are also enemies-to-lovers, world building and extra steamy bits. All Xiveri Mates books can be read as standalones, each one with a guaranteed HEA. NO cheating, harem or love triangles. Some dark themes, illusions to abuse, and debatable consent due to intergalactic cultural misunderstandings may be trigger warnings.

“I look forward to punishing you, Kiandah.” “You’re a cruel lord.” “A hero would have no chance with you, so for you, I will be the villain.” After burning her church to the ground and throwing her family into the castle dungeons for their treason, Kiandah did not expect to be spared by Lord Yaron, the Berserker Lord who once vowed — and tried — to kill her. But as Gatamora’s newest ascended omega, and a traitor besides, Yaron finds that Kiandah may be best placed to help him root out the source of the danger encroaching on his territory in the south island. Rumblings of a sinister sort have reached him…rumors of the undead and witches… The only trouble will be keeping his distance. Shadow Lords do not take ladies, least of all peasants and criminals like Kiandah. But as her power over flame continues to grow stronger and the threat of the undead draws ever nearer, Yaron may have to choose — to succumb to her heat and save Gatamora together, or let it all burn.

He’s a dangerous human. He’s too hard to hate. Exiled from my home world of Nobu, I have no intention of accepting Jaxal for a mate and assimilating with the brutish, feral human horde on their dingy wasteland of a planet. But. There’s always a raxing but, isn’t there? But when Voraxians threaten the strange harmony that exists here, I find myself in the ironic position of protector. And when Jaxal steps in to protect me , I start to wonder if he may be a male worth standing beside. Against anything. Even against my own kind. __________ Exiled from Nobu is a SciFi alien romance and a 17k-word novella in the Xiveri Mates series! It is best read as book 2.5 as the story picks up just after the events of Taken to Nobu. Like all Xiveri Mates stories, Exiled from Nobu features a new couple and has a guaranteed happily ever after.

Mian Don't run. Don't fight. Just hide. That's all we can do against the Sasor barbarian horde – huge megalithic aliens, born to fight, who can shape shift at will into monsters. We're only human, and me, just a slave among them. Getting caught is not part of the plan, but when they raid our village, I do the only thing I can think of to spare the whole. I offer myself up to their leader. Infuriating, and strangely funny, I have a lot to learn – his languages and customs, the roles I'm meant to fulfill in his tribe, and how to keep him at arm's length when he's seemingly everywhere, blocking any chances I have to find a mate and keeping me at his side. Neheyuu She's funny, this human. A fast learner, already adapting to our language with ease. She's forgiving. Quick to smile, it's easy to smile back. Too easy. She's slipping under my skin, infecting me and my manerak. The monster that I can become seems more ready to do her will than my own. Like she's controlling it. I should let her go. I should let her find a mate. I should let the tribes that come for her, take her... My manerak says no. Its defiance is something I've never felt before and I will need to find a way to deny them both – but how can I when my manerak wants her close? A grumpy, alpha alien snakeshifter meets a sweet, no-nonsense human heroine in Taken to Sasor, a full-length, standalone, interracial, shifter romance. While part of the Xiveri Mates series, Taken to Sasor can be read in any order and stands alone with fresh characters and a guaranteed HEA. YES for fated mates, enemies-to-lovers, world-building, action adventure, and extra steamy bits. NO for cheating, harem or love triangles. Violence, including an attack scene against our heroine, may be trigger warnings for sensitive readers.

Svera There are a few things my Tri-God did not prepare me for. The first – Niahhorru pirates. They want the coordinates to an unprotected human satellite and I have them. The confusing – The human Council's secrets that I've uncovered and may get me killed. The most sinful – The pressure in my stomach... well, lower than my stomach... that draws me to the male who hates me most in this universe. Krisxox There is nothing that my warrior training did not prepare me for. Even though my body desires to bond to hers, I'll fight until I break it. She's a disgusting human, filthy and impure. A worshipper of a fickle human god and worst of all, she's not Drakesh. Nox, that isn't the worst. Worse, is that she's got space pirates, traitors, and other enemies chasing her. Worst, is that I won't let them touch her because she's my Xiv – nox! I'll fight. But fighting is harder when I don't really want to win... Taken to Heimo is a full-length (75k words) SciFi, space opera romance complete with an angry alien and a human, headscarf-wearing heroine who is far too polite to meet anger with anger. Most of the time. This is book 4 in the Xiveri mates series and should be read after books 1 and 2. Books 3, 6, and 8 are complete standalones (on other planets) and can be read at any point. Trigger warning! The heroine in this book is attacked more than once and there are multiple violent battle scenes before reaching the HEA.

Deena Rhork. He's a space pirate. The bad kind. But he's also been my only source of company for the past rotation that I've been held captive. Halfway across the galaxy, I'm happy to have finally escaped and found more humans...well, I was. But now, I'm not so sure that people are so much better than pirates. And I'm very sure that I'll need Rhork's help to get out of this. But Rhork thinks I'm a defective female because of my twisted leg. What if he's not willing to give it? Rhork Communicating with the human female for almost a rotation was, in retrospect, a poor choice. Now, she seems to be the ever-present voice in my head, distracting me, making me want things I shouldn't. To make her a pirate. To show her the universe. And most of all, to keep her for myself. Taken to Kor is a full-length (95k words) SciFi space opera romance featuring an alien pirate who looks like an alien and a plus sized heroine with drive and heart. Enemies-to-lovers who are also fated-mates are common staples of all Xiveri Mates books, which each end with their own special HEA. I recommend reading this book after book 4.

Raingar My horns itch and I hate it. I’m a Lemoran clan chief and I hate that I’m being forced to schmooze with the other Quadrant dignitaries. Looking for a way out, I run into flesh peddlers. Pagh! I hate flesh peddlers and I’m not interested in what they’re selling! Until I see her… Half human, Essmira’s soft, and I hate that she’s so easy to break. I hate that her beauty makes my horns and heart both ache. And most of all, I hate that she has no idea that she’s my mate. Essmira A female must always smile. She must always aim to please. She must always obey. A pleasure female, that’s what I’ve spent my whole life training to be. Now that I’ve been purchased by a Lemoran clan chief, I’m more than happy to please him. But his pleasure might be out of my reach. Because he doesn’t want me to be a pleasure female anymore. He wants me to be…me. Taken to Lemora is a full length (85k word) SciFi alien romance that features one grumpy alien and a hybrid human female just discovering freedom and eager to grab it by the horns. Literally. Lemora is the not-too-distant neighbor of Voraxia and while this book cameos a couple familiar faces, it focuses on a new couple in a new constellation and can easily be read as a standalone.

Halima I’m wrenched from a five thousand year sleep into a new world. It was supposed to be uninhabited. Humans were supposed to have died off. Those of us preserved in the stasis tanks were supposed to rebuild. But there were survivors. And now those survivors have formed factions. The leading tribes enslave those weaker and language keeps them apart. Funny, because in my past life I was the interpreter and I intend to bridge the gaps so that when we escape, we do it together. But I have to get past the warlord watching me first. Ero 
Communication between tribes is unheard of. Forbidden. A death sentence. I should kill the little slave that dares defy this edict. But the signs suggest something unthinkable. That this little creature is mine. I need to find a way to get rid of her before she dismantles everything, escapes, liberates slaves, brings warring tribes to my doorstep…but to do that, I’ll have rid myself of this weight she hung around my throat like the loop end of a noose. Want. She makes me want her. Taken by the Pikosa Warlord is a full length (100k word) barbarian warlord romance that takes place on the war and climate-ravaged Earth that the satellite humans now living in Voraxia and Sasor left behind. It is a complete standalone with a smart tenacious heroine, the violent warlord unsure what to do with her and a happily ever after.

Nalia I've made quite a few mistakes in my life. Agreeing to go into outer space in the first place, waking up surrounded by aliens, running from said aliens and crash landing on a gladiator planet where I'm not asked to compete, oh no, but where I'm the prize. One alien in particular keeps showing up. Four arms and utterly insane, I watch him vanquish opponent after opponent. I'm going to have to find a way to escape because there's no doubt in my mind he's going to win. And I won't make another mistake – I won't trust him, no matter how how good his silver skin tastes. Herannathon I've made just a few mistakes these past solars. I probably shouldn't have opened the human's cage prematurely, or followed her across the cosmos, or let her get captured by that psychopath bounty hunter... But I'm drawn to her...and I follow her to Evernor where there's no shroving way I won't compete against the other gladiators to win her. But there are others who are just as drawn to humans as I am. Others, who'd do terrible things to her if they got their claws on her. So, I won't make another mistake – I'll win her and her trust, no matter the stakes. Taken to Evernor is a full-length (90k words) SciFi gladiator romance featuring a four-armed alien and his human heroine mate. This is an enemies-to-lovers romance with fantastical world-building, action, steam and an HEA. Set in the Xiveri Mates universe, this book can be read as a standalone, but will be better enjoyed after reading Taken to Lemora.

The anticipated final, full-length installment in the Xiveri Mates saga awaits, along with the Eshmiri reaver you love to hate and the assassin her soul is bound to. He’s been hunting me for rotations. Now, it’s time to return the favor. I knows things have gone ecking south when the Sky sends its full army to hunt me down. Now, I'm stranded on an adorably violent little planet with only Jerrock to rely on — and he hates me. Jerrock. Sky assassin. The Quadrants’ most renowned killer. He wasn't always, though. I remember who he used to be before and I want him to remember, too, but he wants eck all to do with me. He thinks I'm just an addict, a fool, a reaver with no instincts for self preservation. He says that reavers like me can't be trusted. He says that assassins like him can’t love. But as we crash through the cosmos together with an army on our trail, I'm going crack through his armored flesh if it kills me – and it just might – but I'll prove him wrong. Ashmara, you really think I could forget? My soul remembers who you are. __________ Taken to Sky is final full-length book 9 in the Xiveri Mates series and features two damaged antiheroes finding each other and their place in the cosmos. Look out for darker themes, including overcoming addiction, battles and spice. This book can be read as a standalone and will feature familiar faces from previous books before ending with an HEA.

I might have survived the crash, but I'll incinerate beneath his gaze. Crash-landed on an alien planet where everything seems to want to kill me, nothing is worse than the male I crash-landed with. I'd rather jump right off of the edge of this cliff than give into his demands, even if jumping means landing in the arms of a huge, tusked green beast...who says I'm his. __________ Taken to Revatu is a 50k-word standalone orc shifter romance set in the Xiveri Mates universe and can be read at any point. Watch out while reading as this story contains the threat of SA (sexual assault), sleep play, fully shifted dragon-human mating, battles and mild violence. Like all Xiveri Mates, it ends with an HEA.
