The Forbidden Dragon

He was sent to do a job… not claim a human mate.

Elex lives by duty—until one mission to Earth puts him face-to-face with a woman who challenges everything he believes. Colleen is human, off-limits, and far too tempting to ignore. As tensions rise between worlds and a dangerous prince threatens peace, Elex must decide where his loyalty truly lies.

Against the backdrop of humanity’s expansion into the stars and the colonization of new worlds, one forbidden attraction could alter the future of two civilizations.

He was trained to obey.
But one forbidden woman may be worth risking everything.

Each book in this series is a standalone romance, but for the best experience, it’s recommended to read them in order.

The Forever Life

Who is Jon Ryan? He’s a fighter pilot and astronaut tasked with saving humankind from the imminent destruction of Earth. With the planet Jupiter knocked off its orbit, humankind has less than a century to find a new home. Jon becomes the first volunteer for Project Ark, a desperate mission to search the galaxy for a suitable location for human resettlement. But first, he must have his consciousness transferred into an experimental android host. Our fate and his life depend on a new machine built under a lowest-price-technically-acceptable government contract. Sheesh, what could go wrong? Jon’s only companion on his epic voyage will be his ship’s AI, Al. Unfortunately Al turns out to be more like a cantankerous spouse than a helpful computer program. Along the way, Jon encounters alien civilizations and must learn the dark art of diplomacy to convince them to help Jon in his quest. But mostly, he has to run for his life. Fortunately, Jon has three things in his favor: he’s incredibly lucky, fearless, and so cocky you just want to shake his hand. As Jon pushes the limits of human technology and his own psychological strength, he must overcome one final challenge: saving our species. Can he succeed, or will he become the sole survivor, lost in space forever? And is the galaxy ready for Jon? Not one chance! Poor aliens. You almost have to feel sorry for them. If you’re a fan of BV Larson’s Undying Mercenaries Series or Craig Alanson’s Expeditionary Force, then you’ll love The Forever Life. It’s a LOL funny, fast-paced adventure full of fantastic characters and I-did-not-see-that-coming plot twists. Welcome to the Ryanverse!
