Cyndi Friberg - Shadow Assassins (01-06)

1- Royal Obsession
Radical separatists, created at the onset of the Great Conflict, have been made obsolete by years of peace. They live in their subterranean Shadow Maze and only emerge when it’s time to breed. For Varrik, that time is now.

Varrik, current leader of the Shadow Assassins, knows his people are on the verge of extinction. If they cannot adapt, they will die. Yet if his son were a direct descendant of the High Queen it would secure a place for future generations. Protecting his people is his first priority, so Varrik assembles a hunting party and kidnaps the royal twins. He is determined to claim the eldest for his own.

Echo, the younger princess, knows her pampered sister will never survive the sexual appetites of their virile captor. Echo doesn’t understand the powerful attraction she feels for Varrik, but drawing his attention is a far better choice than allowing him to overwhelm her twin. She doesn’t expect to find him fascinating or to crave the demanding passion he ignites. Can a dominating warrior and his willing captive bring light to the Shadow Maze?

2- Mystic Militia
When Tori’s sister is targeted by a Shadow Assassin, Tori finds herself trapped between two powerful, alien forces. The Shadow Assassins will stop at nothing to capture and possess their mates, yet the Mystic Militia are just as determined to prevent any more females from being victimized.

Lor, leader of the Mystic Militia, knows firsthand the emotional devastation left behind by Shadow Assassins. Shortly after his arrival on Earth, he encounters Tori and sparks fly—literally. She’s intriguing, attractive, and in more danger than she can ever imagine.

From the moment their gazes lock, Tori knows there is something different about Lor. It’s not just his handsome face and muscular body. He triggers a latent ability and suddenly she’s “seeing” all sorts of things that can’t possibly be real. All she wants is to find her missing sister and get on with her ordinary life. But once her eyes are open, there is no turning back.

3- Alpha Hunter
Angie is stranded in a strange town without a car, money or even her cell phone. Luckily, her sister sends Blayne to the rescue. Angie is expecting a ride and maybe a shoulder to cry on—and then she meets her rescuer. After seeing his gorgeous face and muscular body, Angie can’t decide what sort of ride she wants him to give her. Before she can make up her mind, all hell breaks loose. Suddenly Blayne is battling another man with flashes of light and both men are teleporting, as if space alone can’t contain them.

When a dangerous enemy plants a tracker on Angie, the only choice Blayne has is to take her off-world. If they return to the Mystic Militia, it will reveal the location of their ship to the enemy. She’s been targeted by the Shadow Assassins because of her latent abilities. He must release her gifts and teach her how to control them before they return to Earth. The only problem is, he can’t seem to think of her as an apprentice. Their attraction is mutual, instantaneous and intense. He has vowed to keep her safe, yet his good intentions evaporate the moment his lips meet hers.

4- Fallen Star
When a devastating accident ends Jillian’s dancing career, she thinks her life is over. Then a gorgeous man, claiming to be her alien protector, offers to heal her injuries. She has nothing to lose by trusting him and everything to gain. But trust doesn’t come easy for Jillian.

Odintar has never met a woman as captivating as Jillian. He’s lived life on the fringes, tolerated yet never truly accepted. Desire ignites between them with the first brush of his hands. He was sent to protect and heal her, but he wants so much more. Their enemies are closing in and Jillian is more deeply involved than either of them realize. Secrets loom and past mistakes twist current circumstances. And through it all the only constant is their consuming desire for each other.

5- Unique Ink
Roxie finds herself in the middle of an interplanetary conflict, though she has no idea why she was targeted. She’s kidnapped by the Mystic Militia, who claim they’re protecting her. Roxie doesn’t know what to believe or who she can trust, so she trusts no one. Then her ruggedly handsome interrogator arrives and her determination crumbles.

Elias is ordered to find out what Roxie knows and see if he can figure out why the Shadow Assassins are obsessed with her. He must use every tool at his disposal to unravel Roxie’s mysteries. So he flirts and teases, even turns on the Southern charm. The only trouble is their attraction flares into passion the second his lips meet hers. How can he remain objective when all he can think about is touching her, tasting her, and keeping her by his side forever?

More than hearts are on the line as pressures mount and devastating decisions must be made. To finally put an end to the Shadow Assassins, the Mystic Militia must be willing to risk everything.
