Guard: A Scifi Alien Romance
Summary
From the dangerous desert sands to the deadly glitz of the city, the lawless desert planet of Carthago is filled with lethal cyborg gladiators risking it all for the women who capture their hearts. Guard contains two novellas and one short story, all set in the Galactic Gladiators: House of Rone series. Dark Guard Lethal cyborg Zaden will do whatever it takes to guard and protect beautiful, sweet Calla from mysterious attackers. Abducted from her home world, Calla Ryss has spent months in a cell, surviving her captors - the metal-scavenging Edull. Deep in the deserts of the lawless planet of Carthago, she knows that there is no chance of escape. The only thing that gets her through is her friendship with a fellow abductee - a woman stolen from Earth. But everything changes when they are rescued by the bone-chillingly dangerous cyborgs of the House of Rone, and Calla finds herself staring into eyes of metallic silver. Zaden lives for the House of Rone. His cyborg enhancements help him keep a ruthless hold on his emotions, and loyalty is the only thing he allows himself to feel. And the rare spurt of annoyance at the cyborg hunting cat that refuses to leave him alone. But when sweet, lovely Calla falls into his arms, Zaden starts to experience emotions he’s never felt before...which is dangerous for a cyborg whose enhancements are in place not to increase his lethal abilities, but leash them. When mysterious attackers attempt to snatch Calla, Zaden vows to be her guard and keep her safe - with some unsolicited help from a certain cyborg cat. But there is more at stake than just Calla’s safety. As she and Zaden are drawn into an intoxicating storm of emotion, they will risk their hearts, their lives, and their freedom to rescue another innocent captive.

They may not survive the final battle, but they have to try: for their friends, for the planet, for humanity.
