He’s as cold as the void of space… Soulless warrior Drex has been cast out of the Detyen Legion. Eking out an emotionless life on the edge of the galaxy, he knows his days are numbered. There’s no future for a man who’s already sacrificed everything. Then he rescues Pippa and his whole world is set ablaze.
She can fix any machine, but can she fix him? Pippa knows all the secrets to the machines that keep Nebula Outpost floating in space, but Drex isn’t so easy to figure out. But the more time she spends with him, the more she’s eager to know. When tragedy strikes, Pippa and Drex are the only people who can solve the case.
Every clue only leads to more questions, and even more danger. But Pippa can’t walk away from the mystery… or from Drex. He might call himself soulless, but she sees the heat in his eyes. The only question is: will the conflagration burn them to cinders or ignite a bond that lasts a lifetime?

Manda knows she has a mate out there. Somewhere. But Deke took off four years ago, afraid to face the potential connection between them. What was supposed to be a short trip has turned into a multi-year voyage. She’s done waiting. Her mate is out there somewhere and she’s ready to find him.
He found his mate, but he can’t have her. Four years ago the denya bond ignited and Dekon found his mate.

What will his denya say when she sees the man he’s become?
Dekon is an action/adventure alien romance featuring fated mates, space ships, and a whole lot of heart!

The bond blazed through him, white hot and surer than anything he had ever known. It was like a hook yanked deep within his chest, right under his heart and connected to a scorching silver cord between him and his mate.
Manda
Her eyes were wide and her mouth set in an angry line. She was human. He didn’t know if she could feel the bond as fully as he did. She looked ready to kill. It was a look he recognized well.
She was all grown up. She had to be twenty now, not the girl he had left behind.
Her curves had filled out, breasts swelling to fill out the shapeless outfit she was wearing, her dark hair held back and her face pale with cheekbones sharp enough to cut. There was no mistaking her for a child any longer; she’d left that behind and stepped fully into womanhood.
His body ached in ways he had forgotten. It had been four years since he’d laid down with anyone, four years since he’d even thought about it. But now all those wants and lusts flared back to life. His cock twitched in his pants and Deke had to clench his jaw to keep from letting a ragged noise escape his throat.
He wanted to touch her. He wanted to kiss her. He wanted to carry her to his bed and have his way with her. Every muscle strained to step forward and sweep her up into his arms. It hurt to not be touching her.
But he was pretty sure she would stab him if he got any closer. The last time someone had looked at him that way, he had gotten stabbed. And he had deserved it a lot less than he did now.
He should probably hand Manda a knife and have it done with.
“Manda.” The word came out on a breath, almost a prayer.
Her eyes flicked up and down, taking him in with a practiced air of indifference. “Are you going to invite me in?” she asked.
