It's been almost a century since the veil fell and monsters invaded the world. We didn't give the humans an opportunity to retaliate as we charged in and took over, and I was at the head of the front lines with my sword in hand. A perfect soldier, fighting the battles that ultimately put my people in charge of this planet. Half of humanity was slaughtered, and in the decades since the invasion, things have only gotten worse. Tensions between the rebel humans and monsters grew as the climate changed, and temperatures rose as resources dwindled. The sun scorched away plants and trees, leaving behind a husk of a planet where everyone fights for survival.The Fates were furious at our violence, and now we're trapped inside the hell we created.We've all heard tale of the Mate's Mark, and how we're destined to find our fated mate. One human, one monster - foretold to be the cure to this cursed world and repair the damage that has been done. What was once the cause of curiosity and intrigue has turned into nothing more than a mockery. Decades have passed, and not a single pair of fated mates had been found.Until now.Until me.Until the night I pull off my armor and find the mark staring back.Author's note: Ronan is a First Person Dual POV MM Monster Romance series with explicit content intended for readers 18+. It is the first in a series that will have an overarching storyline carrying between books. While this series ends with a guaranteed HEA, individual books end on more of a HFN basis. The feature couple's story will be resolved, though there will be some unanswered questions and mild cliffhangers that lead into the next in the series.

Librarian's Note: An alternate title and cover for this ASIN can be found here. Starving and hiding from aliens, Jasmine eats the first thing she can find. It’s not food. When the striking alien invader finds her hiding spot, she is already lost in a new world of sensation. Taken onto an alien ship, Jasmine has to process her captivity while in an altered state of mind. Luckily, the alien who found her is more interested in getting her to a medic than anything else, even though her hands have minds of their own. Was she captured or rescued? Disclaimer: This novelette has a LOT of adult language, steamy knotty romance, boundary pushing, and a healthy dose of consent, communication, and respect. There is accidental hard substance use and the threat of dark times associated with it. If you are offended by intoxication, alien physiology, or women screaming yes repeatedly, well maybe you should read this little story and get over that.
