The man who had saved me.

I'm caught between two alien warriors, sworn enemies intent on destroying each other. The one thing they agree on: I’m their mate. The prison planet is a dumpster fire. War is coming.

Once upon a time, two dragons saved the virgin. Being the only virgin on the prison planet isn't so bad. No, actually, it totally sucks. There are two Draekons who are interested in me. Well, I thought they were, but they keep blowing hot and cold. They won’t make a move. It’s infuriating. Whatever. I have no use for broody aliens. None at all. No matter how gorgeous they are. No matter how much my insides tingle when they touch me.

I’ve never been the superstitious type. Black cats are made for snuggling, and broken mirrors just mean I can’t see today’s epic zit, but getting stuck in an elevator and accidentally making out with my handsome boss on his first day?

There might be a way out of the prison planet. The only problem? I don’t want to go. Back on Earth is a man who wants to kill me. Back on Earth, I slept with a knife under my pillow to be safe. There’s no coffee on the prison planet. No pizza. No chocolate. I should be thrilled that there might be a way back home. Except I don’t want to return. Here, I feel safe. Because Mike isn’t here. And because Thrax and Zorux are. But I’ve sworn off guys. No matter how hot they are.

Crazy jungle planet. Killer orange fungus. Crimson snakes in the water. The worst part? While I was in a coma, I seem to have acquired two dragon mates.

Money I needed desperately. Of course, everything went wrong.

The photograph, cheesecake with a Dadaist twist, made her an instant icon of art and sex. Babitz spent the rest of the decade rocking and rolling on the Sunset Strip, honing her notoriety.
