On the planet Shandra, a traditional marriage includes one woman and two men. Three Earth women find lust and love with their sexy alien mates.
When Radiance, a merchant from Earth, crashes on the planet Shandra, she is taken into slavery and bought as a gift for Darkrock and Strongsea. Both desire the exotic human slave, but Strongsea’s compassionate nature drives him to protect her against Darkrock’s lust.
Security Chief Blackstare and his aide, Rocksurf, have been lovers since their training days. Still, Rocksurf hasn’t been able to tempt the scarred, brooding warrior into a traditional Shand marriage. Little did they imagine it would take a willful Earth woman like Finesse to change their lives forever
On a diplomatic mission to the planet Shandra, ambassador Passion is abducted by thieves. She is rescued by two rugged warriors, Timber and Red, who claim that she owes them a sacred debt for saving her life. If she refuses to mate with them, the Shand will consider it an insult to their people. In spite of her anger about a forced marriage, Passion finds that sacrificing herself for her planet might not be as bad as she thought.
Publisher’s Note: This Box Set includes the previously published novellas Enslaved, Commanded and Devoured.
Excerpt:
Darkrock drew a deep breath. His fingers gripped the chair arms so hard that his nails sank into the wood, yet he tried to appear calm and collected. This was completely unexpected and most unsettling.
“I suggest you question your intelligence staff closely, particularly those who provided you with the false information about Strongsea. I fear if there is an assassination being planned, it won’t be coming from another sector, but will be internal,” Ridgeback said.
Darkrock nodded, his jaw tight. “It seems you may be right.”
“My praise of Strongsea doesn’t mean that I find him to be a perfect leader,” Ridgeback continued. “Nor do my reprimands toward you mean that I am not pleased with your performance. On the contrary, I have always found you to be one of the strongest and most honorable leaders on Shandra.”
Darkrock wasn’t moved by pandering — not that he felt the Tri-Ruler was being untruthful. Sugar coating anything wasn’t Ridgeback’s style and that was a quality Darkrock respected.
“The problems between your sectors have always been a source of concern on Shandra. Now that it again has you on the brink of war — and has driven you into a leadership battle — I am compelled to step in. I sanctioned this morning’s battle only because I hoped it would put an end to your rivalry and bring peace to Shandra. When the battle ended in a draw, I realized you are equally matched in many ways, but also complement each other. The best decision for Shandra won’t be to choose one of you over the other, but to merge your sectors.”
“Merge?” Darkrock said, his control close to snapping.
“As in they become a single sector?” Strongsea demanded, his peaceful expression fading, replaced by the same tension Darkrock had seen during the leadership battle.
“Exactly,” Ridgeback said. “You can learn much from each other and will balance each other well. Strongsea, you are a modern man of new ideas and fresh insights. Darkrock, you are rooted in tradition. Together you can improve Shandra as surely as you would destroy it fighting each other.”
“Which of us will be the leader?” Darkrock asked, almost afraid of what the answer would be.
“Neither. You will have equal control.”
“And if we don’t agree to this?” Darkrock said.
“Then you relinquish your position and a new representative of your former sector will be chosen to share leadership.”
“I’ll have to rule with him?” Strongsea said, his wide-set blue eyes narrowing almost to slits as he glared at Darkrock.
“More than that,” Ridgeback said. “You and Darkrock will be joined in matrimony. You will select a wife to be shared between you, and your heirs will be of the new sector.”
Darkrock couldn’t quite retain any of the Tri-Ruler’s words past “joined in matrimony.” Somehow he managed to notice that Strongsea’s golden-skinned face went quite pale and his pearly teeth clenched visibly.
