Argurma Salvager

With the expectation of a three-year pregnancy, Terri assumed that she had all the time in the world before she had to face the realities of upcoming motherhood. Time for adventures, travel, and working side by side with her mate. She had been particularly looking forward to the latter now that Veral had relaxed from overbearing to merely aggressively protective - and she could work with that - but when her baby starts to grow abnormally fast, she suddenly faces the grim reality of going to the one place she never wanted to visit: Argurumal. Terri must work to evade the council and a mysterious someone who is attempting to ensure that she never leaves Argurumal alive. She begins to wonder if being a mother might not be the biggest challenge she has to face, especially when Veral suddenly begins to pull away from her. Veral had never planned to return to Argurumal, but with his mate's pregnancy advancing unnaturally fast, he will have to face those he left behind...and an unknown threat. His enemies have underestimated him. He will ride the sand dragnar across the Great Dunes to the capital if required. There is none more dangerous than an Argurma defending his mate and young. He will do all that he can to protect them, even if that means he cannot be by their side. This book contains graphic sex and violence that may not be suitable for all listeners.

Veral'monushava'skahalur is an oddity among his species, a lone Argurma cyborg divorced from his own kind by choice and to escape termination as a malfunctioning unit. Wandering the fringes of space as a salvager, he comes across a planet beyond the boundaries of the federation, rich in metals remnant of a dead civilization. Or so he thought. Confronted by cannibalistic mutations of the indigenous species, his salvage has suddenly become a lot more complicated. Even more so when he encounters a female surviving on her own.... She is strong and fearless, begrudgingly earning his admiration. Terri is hardened by a life of hunger and watchfulness, and yet is moved by a compassion that he's never possessed. When his admiration turns into the first signs of a forming mate-bond, he knows his fate is sealed. Unlicensed mating is forbidden - if his malfunctioning wasn't already a death sentencing, taking her for her mate would be. Yet, he finds that letting her go is no longer an option. Contains some graphic violence and sex that may not be appropriate for all audiences.

With Earth far behind her, Terri is certain that space is the answer to every desire she's ever had for adventure...until she realizes just what being mated to an overprotective, territorial male means. One small incident and Veral keeps her hidden away in the safety of their ship. For months they have been traveling to their salvage operation; it's been a very long, boring trip. But things get a lot more interesting when they find themselves at the mercy of space pirates who are also in search of the ship. Life is suddenly a lot more adventurous than she expected! Veral doesn't trust any male anywhere near his mate. As a species unheard of in space, she is exotic, which makes her desirable to many males, and he will not take the risk of losing her to anyone. So when space pirates hold her hostage to ensure his cooperation, he is determined to stall for time to give an unlikely source of help the time they need to arrive. Discovering that the lost ship Evandra has dangerous secrets makes the situation all the more complicated. In a world fraught with dangers, Veral is certain of one thing: Nothing will come between an Argurma and his mate. This book contains graphic sex and violence which may not be suitable for all listeners.
