Kerry: After I'm taken from Earth and dropped in an alien forest, I resign myself to never going home. There went my dream of finding someone to love. Then a gorgeous, severely wounded alien stumbles into my campsite. As I nurse him back to health, I start wondering if this seven-foot-tall guy with shadows flickering in his eyes could be the one.

With my boss out to kill me, I run, only to be abducted by robocops. They knock me out, and the next thing I know, the tiny pod I'm riding in crashes into a purple lake, and a loincloth-wearing alien with lots of muscles, tusks, and a sardonic smile rescues me. Xax takes me home to his clan and announces I’m his new mate. There goes my dream of opening a tea shop in a cute little coastal Earth town.

One minute, I'm working as a cook, the next, I've been abducted by robocops and sent to a distant planet where I'm attacked by a ferocious beast. Then a seven-foot-tall, blue-skinned alien rescues me with crystal spears slashing. He cuddles me in his arms, and I feel safe for the first time since fleeing my stalker ex. Until he tosses me over his shoulder and takes me back to his clan where he announces I'm his new bride. I'm determined to return home, but there's something about Aizor I can't resist. Am I falling for this musclebound alien with a killer smile?

When Rob of Loxley finds an injured nobleman’s son in the forest, neither he nor his sister Marion understand what befriending young Gamelyn could mean for the future of their beliefs. Already the ancient spirits of the Old Religion are fading beneath the iron of nobleman’s politics and the stones of church subjugation. More, the druid elders warn that Rob and Gamelyn are cast as sworn adversaries, locked in timeless and symbolic struggle for the greenwood’s Maiden.

Home & family struck down by Church edict, Rob is taken by the old druid master into the deeps. He emerges with a new name & purpose: Robyn Hode, leader of a band of tight-knit outcasts, claiming the ancient Shire Wode and wielding the Horned God’s vengeance with deadly arrows. Also escaping Loxley’s destruction, nobleborn Gamelyn has returned from Crusade with his own new identity and purpose—but no absolution. When the two boyhood lovers next cross paths, a brutal game of foxes and hounds ensues, pitting Templar assassin against Heathen outlaw.
