The Feathered Serpent
Left behind on Earth while her colleagues begin work at the Martian ruins at Station 11, archaeological grad student Alexis Atkins prepares for a summer at the ancient Mayan site of Calakmul.
The jungle site is in danger of permanently flooding due to rising sea levels, and her team is in a race against time to record and preserve what artifacts they can before it’s too late. Alexis doesn’t expect to find herself intrigued by the work, but the site and the jungle weave their spell over her. Soon, she and her colleagues find an undiscovered chamber, one whose secrets will change their world forever.
Captain of Lisseethi’s Fang, K’thiss doesn’t know what to expect at the end of his journey. After over fifteen hundred years, the priest clan have promised the return of the Lady and the reunification of their people with their Mayan brethren, but things are not at all what he anticipated when his ship arrives at Ox Te’ Tuun. Their priestess is wearing dirt stained garments, the city lies in ruins, and the humans don’t seem to recognize the Xithilene at all. Instead, they react with shock and fear at the sight of him.
Alexis will need all her courage when she and her coworkers embark on a journey to a far off alien planet. Not all is as it seems on Xithilene, and no one knows how far they can trust their new alien allies. Most unexpected of all is her growing attraction to the ship’s forbidding captain. Love was never in her plans, but Alexis is learning there are some things in life she could never anticipate.

The Son Of The Evening Star

When he meets Rebecca that night on a barren, Martian dust field, the trajectory of his life will change in ways he never could've imagined.
Both remain reluctant to explore their burgeoning attraction, but circumstances contrive to draw them together as they embark on a journey to thwart a threat that could forever change both of their planets. Ghosts from the past haunt both of them, and scars that appeared healed are reopened -- Rebecca and Sarss will have to overcome their own demons as well as their enemies to protect those they love. Along the way, Sarss will discover that Rebecca is much more than just another pretty human, but could she ever really love him once she learns the whole truth?
