Book excerpt: These aliens are willing to do anything to meet their mates…even join a dating agency and come to Earth. But are the humans ready for them? Sixx: Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #4 Single alien dad seeks a human mate with some moxie. Saving up to start her own video game company, Moxie Maguire logs fourteen hours days working for an obnoxious boss. But when life seems to be passing her by, she sets another goal—meet her dream man. The Intergalactic Dating Agency matches her with Sixx. Hot & horned, a good listener, family-oriented—Sixx is the perfect man to share a life with. If only that life was on Earth. Single dad Sixx dreams of finding a mate and raising more “kits.” With females in short supply on his planet, he heads for Earth to get a female and get back to Dakon and his young son. The instant he meets Moxie, he recognizes she’s his Fated mate. He can’t abandon his child. And, unfortunately, his planet has even fewer computers than females. One for the entire planet, to be exact. Will two Fated Mates have to part? Or can they find a way to work it out? Kord: Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #5 She’s a successful restauranteur, but he’s hungry for more than what she’s cooking. Barb Quintain owns the hottest restaurant in town, lives in a fabulous luxury apartment, and has a personality as big as the state of Texas. But outward confidence conceals old wounds as big as Texas, too. She hides behind success, fearing someone will discover what she’s really like—a fake, a fraud, all broth and no beans. Then, one evening, Kord walks into her restaurant—an alien so hot and sexy she knows he’s way out of her league. Kord doesn’t understand why none of his Intergalactic Dating Agency matches have panned out until he meets the owner of Barbie Q’s Restaurant and realizes she’s his Fated mate. Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem to recognize that. The only thing he can do is get her to hire him so he can convince her they’re meant to be together. Just as Kord’s patience wins her over, a family crisis sends Barb running in her rhinestone boots. Will confronting her past destroy their future? Braxx: Dakonian Alien Mail Order Brides #6 She’s given up on love, but love hasn’t given up on her… If there’s anything Holly Hansen has learned it’s that falling for a persuasive charmer is a sure path to a broken heart. It happened when her fiancé abandoned her just when she needed him most. Everything about the smoking-hot alien, Braxx, reminds her of her ex, and he keeps showing up night after night at the restaurant where she works. It’s enough to wear a girl down, make her doubt her convictions, maybe hope that love can conquer the heartbreak of the past… The instant Braxx meets Holly Hansen, his horns begin to throb, and he realizes she’s the ONE. His Fated Mate. He can’t wait to settle down with her and make beautiful babies together. Unfortunately, she won’t give him the time of day. But he didn’t come this far to give up easily, and he hopes that with patience and baby steps, he’ll win her heart. Just when it seems he’ll succeed, Holly’s past comes back to haunt them. Can a heartbreak be too deep for love to fix? All the stories in this volume can be read as stand-alones. You do not have to have read the previous Dakonian books (Darak, Aton & Caid).
