Soulless

After their world was obliterated not every Detyen was happy to sit back and settle on a new planet. Some took up posts on a secret installation were they train to prevent the same enemy they have faced coming back and finishing the job they started.

But these warriors have a mighty expensive way to get out from the ticking time bomb they become when they don't find their mate, they give up their soul. They essentially become android like, whilst still retaining their own bodies. Everything is strategic, emotionless decision based actions. But on mission to recover date from a ship lost during the initial destruction of their planet, Raze and his team-mates come across some pirates and a detachment of human spies!

Sierra was saved from the wastelands by her soldier father and will be forever grateful. But he does not get to look down on her choice of career. She is a damn good recon officer (spy). But on her latest mission she forges an unlikely alliance with a giant green, but undeniably sexy, alien. They have a chance to save some trafficked females and they take it!

But this good turn gets them into hot water of kind or another. Raze also thinks he is about to go over the edge into madness. Well, that or he has met his denya? A human denya?

Great new turn in the story! Loves meeting these new, "Data" like Detyens. Raze was a great lead and Sierra was just the right mix of feisty and vulnerable!

Ruthless

Toran and other Detyen Warriors have returned the kidnapped females to Earth. However, they did not expect to be treated like prisoners! They may be called guests but they are not allowed to leave! But when his Denya walks into the room, he has no plans on leaving without her. Pity she is there to essentially interrogate them!

Iris is a spy and her newest mission is to assess the danger Toran and the others pose to Earth and if they are as benevolent as they appear. With both their missions at stake Iris and Toran head off to a resort on the moon to track down Yormas, who is believed to have been complicit in the destruction of Detya and in cahoots with the Oscavians who kidnapped the girls!

Sci-fi, spies, fated mates and a tightly scripted story...what's not to like! Reads like spy movies from the 60's/70's like Our Man Flint but with more story LOL

Heartless

Poor Kayde. He instigates a risky mission back to recon HQ as he fears his obsession with one of the survivors he helped rescue means that he is tipping into madness.

Quinn is far from being over her abduction and abuse at the hands of the Oscavians and their allies. However, she has a soft spot for one of the other survivors and returns to the ship they wee rescued on to grab a memento for her. But a nap has never led her into such a precarious position before. Now she is blasting through space with a big, strapping alien. She feels safe with him and knows that he would not harm her. Pity she really can't get her brain and heart to agree that falling for Kayde is a big NONO.

Both Kayde and Quinn feel they are broken beyond repair. But stitching their tattered hearts together might make them stronger than ever! Plenty of twists to keep you guessing!

New strand of Detyen hotties to lust after! After their world was obliterated not every Detyen was happy to sit back and settle on a new planet. Some took up posts on a secret installation where they train to prevent the same enemy they have faced coming back and finishing the job they started.
