Michael has wrestled with anxiety his entire life, and finding out he’s half-werewolf doesn’t help matters. When bond-mate, Quinn, takes Michael to the werewolf colony, Michael finds more surprises in store for him, and some may be more than he can handle.

Michael’s life is about to change big-time. He’s always wrestled with anxiety, but he's finally gotten up the courage to face his fears and enter college. He won’t be living in the dorms, though—he’s not that courageous. Instead Michael rents a small cabin in the woods. While trying to fix a leaking roof, Michael loses his balance and falls. When he comes back to consciousness, it’s to find an extremely hot guy staring down at him. Unfortunately, the guy’s also nuts. His name is Quinn, and he says he’s a werewolf. Oh, and that Michael is one, too. And they’re true mates.

Seeing Quinn shift into wolf form finally convinces Michael that Quinn's for real, and after some time apart, Michael agrees to return to Quinn’s pack with him.

Daos 5 is unlike anything Michael’s ever seen, and he’s in for more than a few surprises there; including the fact that, incredibly, Michael’s going to have a baby. Add his new friend Ezzy into the mix, and Michael can’t seem to stay out of trouble. A reunion with his long-lost father, aliens, explosions, and a ob/gyn that looks terrifyingly like a huge garden slug are only some of the things Michael has to face, but with Quinn by his side, he’s finding it easier than he ever thought possible.

At the edge of the galaxy's spiral arm, can Teo convince Jimenez that the heart has its own tentacles and theirs should be entwined forever?

In the 22th Century, the people of the Solar System have banded together against an alien invasion. Unfortunately, they’re losing—badly.

As the only Natural remaining in the genetically engineered officer corps of the United Planet’s fleet, Henry Gallant has unique mental abilities that have proven essential to the defense against the Titan invaders. Nevertheless his fellow officers lack faith in him, and worse, he has angered prominent men by speaking truth to power.

Despite this, Admiral Collingsworth has given him command of the Warrior, the most advanced stealth warship in the UP arsenal, and ordered him to the alien’s main base to spy, intrigue, and disrupt their war capacity. 

Gallant’s mission leads to risky battles and painful choices, but no choice is more personal, or intimate, than the choice to face one’s own death. And for Henry Gallant—a flawed young man in a hopeless situation against overwhelming odds—a dreadful decision looms before him.

He has only one saving grace—he is unafraid.
