Schooled by the harshness of Djaromir, Warlord Sparx of Fyeir believes women to be a distraction he can’t—and won’t—allow himself. His focus needs to be on the city he rules and their progress into the future, not on coddling a sensitive human female. As warlord, he’ll do his duty and help match his men to their future brides but has no intent in joining their happily mated ranks. Then, he sees Lucy. One glance at the sweet little female and his fate is sealed—whether he wants it to be or not. Burning with the need to claim his tempting mate, Sparx tries to hold strong but can't resist his powerful attraction to the newly arrived, fragile female. He can only hope the risk is worth it in the end. Nicknamed “Lucy Goosey” for her tendency to wreak havoc in almost any situation, Lucy had begun to wonder if her streak of unfortunate catastrophes would ever end. Unlucky at literally everything, she knew a change was needed if she’d ever get what she wanted out of life. Crossing her fingers that Earth was the jinx, Lucy and her best friend take a leap of faith and catch a ride to the distant mining planet advertising for mates. She knew it sounded absolutely bonkers, but she’d give just about anything for a chance to have what seemed to only happen in romance novels. Considering the chaos that normally follows her around, she’s holding her breath in hopes that maybe this time will be different. On the harsh world of Djaromir, surrounded by dangers at literally every step, is it possible that Lucy can feel safe being her normally clumsy self? Will she find her happily-ever-after in the massive arms of the imposing Warlord or will her bad luck mean a one-way ticket home?

Animal feelings were black and white, either negative or positive—not the wishy-washy, in-between, unsure emotions that humans felt. Fauna didn’t understand people, and communicating with them was very trying and frustrating. Was she even a human herself? She didn’t know. Her housemates/sisters were a mix from other realms. She knew she was, too, but still hadn’t decided if she wanted to know what she was. Other realms. It was insane that they existed—but it also was the only thing that made everything else in her life make sense. Overnight, her life went from the quiet routine of practically being invisible to all except those she lived with to levels of crazy that she was struggling with. She, along with her ‘sisters’ were supposed to be the solution for an evil plot trying to end all realms. It was all too much for her to grasp. If she were a bird, she would fly away and never look back. For fifteen years in his long life, Tim stood beside a gate on the Day King’s side of the Alterealm kingdom. Each day, he wished for something more exciting to happen. He got his wish in a way he never imagined. He was assigned to guard The Huntress Queen. There was no looking back after that.

He loved his job but secretly hoped for a few moments of calm before madness accelerated—and it would, of that, he had no doubt. All of the royal family, and many from other realms, were to be part of some big battle—they just had to piece together all the parts to figure it out first. If they failed, the realms would be no more. 6 worlds work together to save each other. J. Risk’s Realms Books span 6 different series with common characters and an ongoing, suspense-filled plot.

Despite his enthusiasm at finding a mate, old fears return that he cannot shake. His scar has repulsed females in the past, even when they’d been paid to hide their reaction, filling the normally brash warlord with more doubt than he cared to admit. What if his mate did the same? Finding himself inexplicably drawn to a fiery beauty named Rue, he can't resist the mating call despite his insecurities.

Signing up for the volunteer program that the Djaromir advertised seemed like an easy way to make some cash. A short vacation on a planet filled with buff eye candy and then to Earth with a big fat check. Sure, there were whispers of some sort of crazy Djaromir “mating pull,” but Rue figured that was just nonsense sprouted by the muscle-bound Neanderthal Warlords. None of that was actually real. Until her best friend proves her wrong by succumbing to the Djaromir mating heat herself. Now, Rue has a choice to make.
