Alitus
Series: Tales of the Chosen

Passion. Addiction. Loyalty. Can true love bare its heart forever?

Alitus Vivaldi is a Better, an enhanced human bred for intelligence, discipline, and responsiveness. His combined talents in bed and politics take him from the Conqueror's favorite pleasure slave to her personal assistant. To help the Conqueror accomplish her secret agenda, Alitus forsakes his identity and pride, and surrenders himself to his darkest fear.

Once nearly raped by a group of palace guards, when the empress asks him to have sex with a man to prove he's overcome his fear, is his trust in his Queen of Quenchless Lust deeper than what his gentle and patient seducer evokes? Or has she finally demanded more from Alitus than even his noble spirit can endure?

Wulf
Series: Tales of the Chosen

Lust. Power. Forgiveness. Can a romance live forever?

Superstar Wulf Gabriel longs for freedom from his unscrupulous agent. With his career at risk and his life threatened, Wulf must trust the one man he swore would never again control him - the most powerful and feared man in the empire - the Harbinger. For the Harbinger, saving Wulf is a simple matter of asserting his will. Gaining Wulf's trust, friendship, and eventually his love will take rich dark chocolate, enough champagne to fill a claw foot tub, and the consummate skill of a master of pleasure.

All three have secret agendas. The question is, will Jawk's keep him in Luc and Wulf�s shared bed, or tear apart the alliance of the immortal and his Chosen -- forever?

Although each book is part of a series and characters overlap in all, each can be read on its own. To see the "big picture" of who and what the Sempervians are and what they are doing -- read all the books. I've been asked the best order for the stories. I wrote them out of sequence, completing Wulf *after* I had already written At the Mercy of Her Pleasure and For Women Only, which take place 3 and 5 years after Wulf begins. Here is the "proper" reading order, should you choose to read straight through.

Reading order for the Antonello Brothers series (Senth and Khyff):
At the Mercy of Her Pleasure -- For Women Only
(NOTE: a sequel is planned that reunites the brothers in an adventure)

Reading order for the Tales of the Chosen trilogy:
Wulf, Alitus, Jawk

And yes, more books are planned in the Tarthian Empire. In the meantime, I'm creating a new series set outside the borders in the Colonies of Man. The hero, however, is a Kin male! More on that as the story unfolds.

At birth, every king or queen in Qarth is given a royal companion of the opposite sex. To prevent the sowing of seed in the wrong field, the Vhalgenn are made incapable of bearing or fathering a babe early on. Lifelong companions, they're sworn to fight back to back, side by side, to the death. Every Vhalgenn accepts the eventual marriage of the one they serve. Duty forbids their own marriage, but does not preclude time alone with the king or queen they love.

Until the jealous queen of Kellindahr banishes her new husband's Vhalgenn far from home and comforts. Later, fearing the queen will die in childbirth, her maidens call Raik back and beg her to run a desperate course to save the life of the king's only heir.

Raik must obey or watch the heir die. To save him she must outrun, outwit, outlast, and above all, survive. But to be the victorious Vhalgenn--must she betray the king she loves? How far will duty take her--and at what price?

Surrender Love
It's not rebound, payback, loneliness, or the great sex, and it's way beyond love. It's surrender.

Izzorah "Rah" -- A little feral, a little innocent, all male. Fleeing a world that denies him basic rights, forced into a society blind to his needs, Rah lives for his music. When a freak accident throws him into the care of the most powerful man in the empire, the attention he receives is beyond anything he'd ever dreamed. But is the attraction he feels toward his rescuer gratitude, lust, or a deeper, abiding call to yield all that he is?

Luc -- the prestige of his power, wealth, and influence directs an empire scattered across the stars. His word shapes the foundations of business and his financial prowess is of mythic proportions. Yet beneath the myths beats the heart of a man who craves what he has never given and is certain he will always be denied -- steadfast, faithful love.
