~Conviction leads her into treason. Passion drives him to deny his heritage. Together can they defeat the evil force that threatens their world?~
Head of Janas Corporation and local counselor on Pallas Four, Maegan Shale is a highly respected member of the community in the paradise destination of the Grogon Asteroid Belt. But Maegan leads a secret life. Operating in a relay network in this remote corner of the Crestar System, she intercepts Taragon vessels and rescues children destined for armies being built to destroy the life she knew as a child.
Alerik Mariltar had a choice—governor of an insignificant asteroid cluster, or the more prestigious position of junior counselor for the Coalition Council. Alerik wants a mate, and the Match Key has chosen for him—a highly unsuitable, rebellious female from his past who happens to live in the Grogon Asteroid Belt. And so, in defiance of the training of a lifetime and all that he has been groomed to be, Alerik chooses a woman over the best interests of his career.
Grogon is not the sleepy, uneventful corner of the Crestar System it should have been. Rumors of death matches and flesh trading surface, and Maegan’s covert activities seem to be linked. Forced to incarcerate her for treason, Alerik attempts to unwind the mystery of six Taragon children and Maegan’s elusive uncle. Something has attracted a great evil to his jurisdiction, and that evil is focused on the woman he loves and those close to her.
Convinced the Coalition’s Vision is flawed, Maegan isn’t about to cooperate with the man who is the quintessential servant of the Coalition. He might be her mate, but the cause for which she fights demands all her passion and her loyalty. Then what are these growing feelings she has for him, and why does she care so much how her illegal activities will affect his career?
As the threat to the galaxy grows, Alerik and Maegan struggle to reconcile their beliefs to defeat a common enemy.

~A shapeshifter pisses off a serial killer, and leads him on a nail biting, hair-raising ride through outback Australia.~
Jamie Race is on the run. Not surprising when you are the world's first shape shifter. All that stands between Jaime and a lifetime of incarceration are his wits, his shape changing ability and the love of two girls, Amy and Celeste. A clandestine government organisation, known only as the Company, killed his mother and is pursuing him relentlessly. He thought things couldn't get much worse.
Wrong.
Suddenly, he comes across the path of Theo Tanis, a millionaire businessman with a secret life. Jaime's first mistake was discovering Theo's deadly passion. His second was falling for Theo's super model girlfriend, Samantha. Jaime soon learnt it wasn't wise to piss off a rich, lunatic serial killer.
Jamie leads Theo and Dr Locke, the ruthless scientist responsible for his powers, through a wild and hair raising chase through the wilds of outback Australia, his freedom and his life the prize.
If things weren't complicated enough, Jamie also has to deal with the emotional roller coaster of his shape shifting body. When he suddenly develops the ability to change into females things get very confusing. How does a nineteen year old boy of limited sexual experience cope when he suddenly finds that the macho biker, Chad, who saves his life, has the hots for him? Or rather, her! And what is his circus star girlfriend, Celeste, going to say when she learns out that he slept with a biker? Not to mention the gay martial arts instructor, Amy, that falls for him when he is a girl!
All this is a lot to handle for your average, nineteen year old shape shifter.

~Scuba divers find a time machine on the sea bed, kick-starting a perilous adventure on a long-lost continent.~
There was something decidedly unusual about the dead man found floating off the coast of Cuba. For one thing, the wool of his garment, while only twenty years old, had been shorn from an animal extinct for over nine thousand years! A group of professional scuba divers, including Lord Henry Basingstoke and his friend, Rodrigo Quintas, eagerly search the ocean bed for clues. But when they find the secret of time travel in the deep, a fun vacation becomes an obsessive quest to solve the mystery before anyone else finds out. This involves a daring journey back through time, to a hidden land of rainforests, deadly creatures, and a mysterious civilization. A place where nothing is what it seems. And the longer they stay, the more their adventure becomes, quite literally, a race against time.

~A world of magic, a world of technology, their fates linked by the lost Zygradon.~
The Rift War: Zygradon Chronicles Book 5 by Michelle L. Levigne
Awakened from magical sleep, Emrillian Warhawk grew up in the modern, technological world of Moerta, 2000 years away from Quenlaque and Lygroes. There, the legends of Athrar Warhawk and Quenlaque, Braenlicach and the Zygradon were nothing but fanciful tales warped beyond all recognition. Raised by Mrillis the enchanter, she knew the truth, and sought out friends among the Archaics, who believed in the promise and prophecy of Quenlaque and the return of Athrar. Only they had access to star-metal, the Threads, and the magic of the Rey'kil.
Then the authorities threatened their sanctuary to confiscate star-metal to use in weapons of war. Emrillian and Mrillis fled back to Lygroes through the tunnel under the sea, accompanied by Grego, a friend with inborn magic who had sworn loyalty to Athrar and Quenlaque. In Lygroes, where only 200 years had passed, they joined forces with Baedrix, descendant of Lycen, and prepared for the awakening of Athrar, the dismantling of the dome of Threads that kept Lygroes hidden from the modern world, and the final battle with Edrout, son of the Nameless One.
With the help of Archaics who crossed to Lygroes and awakened their own inborn magic, Emrillian, Baedrix, and Grego set out to retrieve Braenlicach from hiding and find the lost Zygradon to heal and awaken Athrar. Time was their enemy as Edrout gathered his forces and armies from the modern world surrounded them -- and failure could mean the destruction of the entire world.
