In a Dangerous Orbit

From the busy market world of Souk to the high-tech cyborg world of Centax, join these treasure hunts for priceless artifacts of old Earth. In a Dangerous Orbit contains two action-packed novellas in the Phoenix Adventures series.

These novellas were previously published and have been lightly edited.

Beneath a Trojan Moon: A woman with a secret she’ll kill to protect.

Fortune teller Relda Dela-Cruz hides in plain sight on the market world of Souk. She never lets anyone too close and protects her deadly secret. But when assailants attack her in pursuit of a powerful artifact, she collides with the city’s handsome new marshal.

War has left former Galactic Special Forces captain Hunt Calder tired and empty, but one look at the beautiful Relda—with her wild curls and lush curves—brings him back to life. When she’s threatened over the mysterious Trojan Moon, he won’t let anything stop him from protecting her. Even Relda herself.

As they face alien attackers and killer droids, Hunt wants all of her—body, mind, and her secret. Even if that secret has the power to destroy not only them, but the planet itself.

On a Cyborg Planet: Can he give a beautiful warrior cyborg the pleasure she’s never experienced?

After a vicious coup, cyborg Axton Saros, Prime of the planet of Centax, is trying to rebuild his world. A priceless artifact stolen during the attack is still missing, and he’ll do anything to get it back. Even work with the emotionless, infuriating Centax Security cyborg Commander Xenia Alexander.

Everybody knows CenSecs are deadly and so enhanced that their emotions are dampened to nothing. But Xenia’s been keeping a secret her entire life—her systems don’t function correctly. Working side-by-side with Axton to find the Codex Da Vinci makes every emotion in her flare to life.

As they follow a trail of clues, Axton and Xenia can’t fight their fierce desire. As their hunt takes a deadly turn, their powerful connection might be the only thing that can save Xenia from annihilation.
