Morningstar
by Robyn
Bachar
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Desire
is an addiction that could destroy them all.
The
second son.
Lieutenant
Commander Jace Harrow is the second son of House Morningstar—the spare, not the
heir. Armored with an arrogant mask, Jace keeps the world at arm’s length to
protect those around him from becoming targets for his bloodthirsty brother.
The
broken sword.
Lieutenant
Bryn Viera was a shadow sword and a decorated officer, dedicated to protecting
her people. But for the past five years she has lived as a slave and has the
scars to prove it. Bryn vowed to escape or die trying—until she met Sabine.
The
slave.
Born
into slavery, Sabine never expected to fall in love. Her feelings for Bryn
sparked her desire for a new life, but now Sabine is in phase, consumed by the
need to mate with a male. Her dream of freedom with Bryn is on the brink of
destruction, for to deny the phase means death.
Thrown
together by the unforgiving demands of the phase, they must unite to save
Cyprena’s people from a deadly new bioweapon—or be destroyed by the scars of
their pasts.
Warning:
Contains an arrogant officer with a weakness for having his hair pulled, an
insatiable empath, and a badass warrior woman who form a male-female-female
threesome sizzling enough to melt your shields.

EXCERPT:
Time passed in calm quiet, with only the measured whisper of
her breath and the familiar hiss of ventilation systems. Then a new noise
interrupted from the direction of the entrance, and Bryn’s brow furrowed as she
strained to identify it. It was high-pitched, almost whining, with irregular
clicks and whirrs—someone was hacking the lock on the door. She drew her pistol
and fired into the door lock, and the bolt melted the device shut. Whoever was
outside would have to manually bypass it and force it open.
Retreating into the bedroom, she brought the lights up and
locked the door.
“What’s going on?” Jace asked, no doubt roused by the
gunfire.
“Someone’s hacking the main entrance. Get in the closet,
both of you.” Bryn glanced at the furniture in the room, and decided to
relocate a chair and footstool in front of the doors. It wouldn’t work as a
barricade or cover, but it might slow their attackers down for a moment. Long enough
for Bryn to get an extra shot in.
“Give me your pistol,” Jace said.
Bryn shook her head. “No. Get yours, and get in the closet.
Now.” He scowled, and she glared at him as she moved furniture. “Jace. I need
you to protect her, so I can protect you. Trust me.”
With a growl he scooped Sabine into his arms and carried her
off. She murmured a question, still half-asleep—not surprising, considering how
enthusiastically the pair had been going at it earlier. Bryn locked them in,
found herself a place with cover and a clear shot at the bedroom door, and
crouched behind the desk.
