Sven Magnusson is stuck on Earth serving his queen and dealing with a culture where women don't seem to want a man's protection. As he struggles to understand Earth females, the queen encourages him to get laid. Of course, Thea Cooper, the only woman who appeals to him, thinks men are useful for one thing and on a one-night-only basis. Despite their clash of sexual cultures and the fury of their heated erotic encounters, can Sven convince Thea that she belongs with him on Planet Valhalla?

This collection contains the three books in Kate Pearce's Planet Valhalla series, sexy science fiction novellas where pleasure is paramount.

Treated as a sexual plaything and forced to erotically service all the women, he begins to understand what it feels like to be wanted only for his ability to breed. Then he meets Princess Inga, and realizes she’s the woman who has haunted his sexual dreams. As the passion between them explodes, Harlan knows he has an impossible task. How can he convince a tribe of man haters that not all males are evil? Harder still is the task of proving his heartfelt love to the princess.

After ten years together, Jeremy “Jem” Creed and his wife, Crystal, are looking to give their marriage a fresh start on Paradeisos, a mysterious island off the coast of Oregon.

If she can only stay away from her mate, the one man she must elude at all cost to win. Prince Zel Oscar is used to getting what he wants.

A new Civil War is brewing. With the city of Bewelcome as its headquarters, Allan Pinkerton’s Detective Agency leads a siege on Hex City, the town founded by “Reverend” Asher Rook and his consort, the Mayan goddess Ixchel. Monsters prowl the battleground, rocket trails of spells crisscross the sky, and an unnatural rain falls.

Meanwhile, Chess Pargeter gears up for the greatest fight of his life—and death.

Я и подумать не могла, что вытащу счастливый билет, получив должность космобиолога в "Меридиан-Галактик", а новыми боссами окажутся два представителя расы райнарцев—инопланетяне, похожие на кошачьих. Странные пункты контракта, живой "груз", неизвестная точка назначения—разве это проблемы? Все только начинается!

Drawing heavily on Lovecraftiana and myth, these are tales of devil’s bargains, love songs to monsters, and the people—human and otherwise—who inhabit liminal spaces. Ghosts, gods, and ghouls make their way as best they can, one step sideways from the mortals around them. Many are connected; some are puzzle pieces that don’t quite fit. Spanning a decade of writing, Still So Strange is Amanda Downum's first collection of short fiction, and includes stories originally released in Strange Horizons, Realms of Fantasy, and Weird Tales, as well as original, unpublished work. 

An Atlan warlord in hiding. In pain. In danger of succumbing to a horrible fever. Only one woman can save him. One. All he has to do is find her before he becomes a Big Bad Beast.

Ты будешь нашей женой, рыкнул оборотень. Для начала выведи блох у себя и у брата, а потом я подумаю! ответила издевательским тоном.

எனது இரண்டு வருட உழைப்பில் உருவான நாவல் இது. நான் மிகவும் மூழ்கிப்போய், ஒரே நினைப்பில் ஒரு விஞ்ஞானியை போல் பல மாதங்கள் ஆராய்ச்சி செய்து எழுதிய கதை என்றும் கூறலாம்.

Sameerixis, or Sam for those who actually know him, isn’t what you’d call normal. He had been a door-to-door salesman, of sorts. One that peddled wares, wishes, and whims to anyone willing to pay his prices. Except that life is gone now. His old business model had been modernized. Sam was a man trapped in place by his own success. And loving it. Additionally, he was also the owner of a private military company that specialized in dealing with criminals or those wanted by a government. His goals were simple. Now, he’s gotten exactly what he wanted in the worst possible way.

When I see her, I have to have her. The one they call Shelby. But the humans have not given her to us. She remains behind the walls of the facility they have reclaimed. She remains with a male that does not deserve her. This beautiful, enchanting creature with long black braids and bright eyes needs a real male, a master, a true protector. She needs me. I will do whatever it takes to claim her. I’ll kill. I’ll lie. I’ll steal. No human, naga, or otherwise will keep us apart. Tonight, Shelby will be in my arms. To hell with the rest.

For Lori Straford, born into the lowest caste of citizens—the pleasure arts strata of their society—it is an inescapable fate that she can only hope to better by enlisting as a spa attendant and masseuse on one of the luxury world colonies under the purview of Darvel Exploration Corporation. When she is talked into working on one of their mining planets for a year with the promise of a hefty bonus and to be transferred to her choice planet after more non-gratas can be sent over, it is too good of an opportunity to pass up.

Меня вытащили из сна и забросили в другой мир. Здесь никогда не тает снег, люди сражаются с нечистью, правят драконы, и магия - счастье избранных. Здесь пять веков вспоминают виновника вечной зимы, Ужасного Винга - бывшего правителя, сына бога огня и королевы ледяных драконов. А я в этом мире вообще по ошибке!

Niemand konnte es ihr recht machen und kein Mensch war je in der Lage, sie und ihre abgründig finsteren Sehnsüchte zu bändigen. Als sie mit ihrer zügellosen Art schließlich Schwierigkeiten mit dem Gesetz bekommt und zwischen einem Gefängnisaufenthalt oder der Reise als interstellare Braut zu einem fremden Planeten wählen muss, zögert sie keine Sekunde lang. Einsam und verlassen auf der Erde, fiel ihr die Entscheidung nicht besonders schwer.

News of my unusual relationship must have reached him by now, but I know he won’t give up.
