Kade: Accidentally Bonded: An MM Sci-fi Alien Romance (Rogue Bonds Book 1)

Growing up on Rendol 4, Aiden Hill only ever wanted to help better his planet. Now a lieutenant in the Alliance Military, he is doing just that, defending the population from space pirates, slave traders and a rogue species fighting them for colonisation rights of the planet.

But during a mission gone awry, Aiden stumbles upon Kade, a brainwashed slave who immediately imprints on him and declares Aiden to be his master. But slavery in the Alliance is strictly forbidden, leaving Aiden attempting to rehabilitate his unexpected charge, despite Kade’s obvious reluctance to cooperate.

Kade has waited for years to meet his master, the man he can devote himself to for the rest of his life. But when they finally meet, his master seems oddly reluctant to make use of Kade’s many skills – including his skills in the bedroom! Instead of giving him orders, his master insists that Kade should make his own decisions and express opinions that conflict with his master’s desires.

A slave without a master is like a boat without a sail; directionless and destined to be swept up by the storms of life. But for Aiden to treat Kade as the slave he insists he is would be a moral travesty, defying both Alliance law and his own conscience. So how can the two of them ever find a middle ground, when the life Kade so ardently wants is one that Aiden finds so abhorrent?

Warning: Contains frequent military-style violence.

Dax: Gratefully Bonded: An MM Sci-fi Alien Romance (Rogue Bonds Book 2)

Zeke’s childhood dream of being a pilot in the Alliance Military has been shattered. A hellish mission to an alien planet left him injured, traumatised, and with the majority of his crew dead. So now, he spends his days drowning his sorrows in alcohol, and wondering what the hell he’s supposed to do with the brainwashed slave who accidentally imprinted on him at the tail end of that doomed assignment.

Dax knows he’s not good at obeying his master. He’s always struggled to follow instructions, seeing better ways to complete a task, or wanting to point out the pitfalls to an unwise course of action. But how is he supposed to please his master, if the man’s only desire is to drown himself in a bottle?

After far too long spent wallowing in doubt and self-pity, Zeke and Dax’s lives are interrupted by the arrival of Aiden Hill, a Lieutenant in the Alliance Military who claims to have cracked the code as to how a human master and a Vangravian slave can live peacefully together.

But for each of them, the chance at a brighter future comes with a terrifying cost. For Zeke, it means confronting his demons and dealing with the trauma from his failed mission. And for Dax? It means turning his entire world upside down, so that he is no longer the follower in this most unconventional of relationships, but the leader.

Xel: Broken Bond: An MM Sci-fi Alien Romance (Rogue Bonds Book 3)

Trained as an erotic companion, Xel has spent the past three years serving an arrogant and selfish master, constantly hoping for a life in which he’s truly appreciated, but never finding it. But all that changes when his master dies suddenly, and Xel is sent to live with Cole, his master’s estranged nephew.

After a tragedy took his family from him five years ago, Cole has retreated into a life of isolation and solitude, spending his days caring for injured and abandoned pets in the city’s largest animal sanctuary. He has little hope for the future and no interest in exploring the wider world… until unexpected news drops a confused and apprehensive slave on his doorstep.

Cole is well accustomed to caring for lost and abandoned creatures. But Xel is nothing like what he expects. Xel’s confidence and seductiveness constantly catch him off guard, and he finds himself scrambling to keep up when his ‘slave’ starts behaving in decidedly un-slave-like ways. As the tension between them grows, they are both forced to begin questioning their past decisions and trying to imagine what the world could hold, if they could only dare to hope for a brighter future.

Jai: Defiantly Bonded: An MM Sci-fi Alien Romance (Rogue Bonds Book 4)

For the past two years, Commander Aiden Hill has worked tirelessly to safeguard the lives of the dimari – brainwashed Vangravian slaves living on the fringe planet of Rendol 4. So when a crate of not one but eight new dimari lands on the planet, Aiden is called in as the planet’s foremost dimari expert, to find masters for the new arrivals and settle them into their new homes.

Jai has spent the past two years being trained in the most intense circumstances a dimari could endure, and that training has taught him exactly one thing; that his intended master is a sadist who sees Jai as nothing more than a toy to be played with and tool to be used, until he finally breaks.

For all Aiden’s extensive experience with the dimari, even he is out of his depth with Jai’s deliberate defiance and open hostility. A dimari exists to please their master, but Jai seems intent on making Aiden as unhappy as possible. Will Aiden be able to get through to Jai and convince him that Aiden wants to give him a safe and fulfilling life? Or is Jai already too broken to accept a kindness that seems to have come too late?

Warning: this novel contains descriptions of military-style violence and mentions of PTSD and past sexual abuse which may be disturbing for some readers.

Jai: Defiantly Bonded is best read after reading Book 3 - Xel: Broken Bond.
