Tristan Series

Researcher, mercenary, thief, killer.   Tristan wakes up to find out time has been taken from him. He doesn't know who did it, but he suspects where it began. Now he has his sights set on taking his revenge.   Taking on the prison that holds him, the people who set him up, and even the bounty hunter who once caught him doesn't worry him. No, it's the pawn he decides to use that could prove to be his undoing.   Will Alex prove stronger than Tristan anticipated? Can Tristan bend him to his will so his plan can be unleashed on those he needs to punish?   When it's all said and done, will Tristan be able to let go and move on? Will he remember that only he matters? Or will, for the first time in his life, someone else come first?   Book 1 of the "Tristan" series begins the exploration of what happens when an alien who doesn't want any attachment meets a man determined to never be alone again.

Child, victim, pawn, trap? Alex has found Tristan, but things don't go as either want. Refusing to leave Tristan's side, Alex is forced to work with Tristan on a job: kidnapping a child. Alex is torn between proving his worth and protecting the child from Tristan, while Tristan is torn between his own feelings and keeping up his control. When the job goes wrong, the three are forced to run as the universe throws everything it can at them. Will Tristan be able to hold onto his masks? Or will Alex's human emotions prematurely end their partnership, and put the child Alex has sworn to defend in danger?

Coercionist, lover, prisoner. More? Alexander Bartholomew Crimson only ever wanted a few things out of life. a good job, friends, and a man to love, no an alien man to love. He got the first even before he was done with school, the second not long after he started his new job on a new planet. The third he'd given up on by the time he met Jack, a tall, handsome, funny, loving, furry Samalian. For a few weeks, Alex didn't think life could be any better. But then Jack was taken from him. Worse, the company he worked for accused him of being in league with the alien who attacked them, the same alien who took Jack. Now, Alex only wants one thing; to get him back. Unaware of the choices he will have to make, or the dangers he will face, he embarks on a trek he hopes will take him to the monster who took Jack from him, for a chance to save his love. But with each danger he faces comes the realization that who he is might not be enough to reach his goal. With each choice he makes, Alex changes. What cost is he willing to pay to get to the man he loves? Will there be enough of himself left when he gets there to be recognizable?

Medication, solution, salvation, annihilation? After years of working together, Tristan and Alex now know what to expect from one another. Tristan has molded Alex into a weapon, and Alex accepts his place is at Tristan's side. It starts with a rescue mission, getting an old man out of a medium security prison, but gets complicated when it's revealed the old man knows a secret that could destroy the universe, and that someone is already after it. Tristan might not care for the destruction of the universe, except that he's intrinsically linked to its survival. with only his own survival in mind he chases Salvation, before it can shatter the universe.

Brother, captor, torturer. Executioner? Tristan is back on the Sayatoga, but this time his brother is in charge, and intent on making Tristan suffer. Alex wakes to the realization that he has lost his love again, but this time he knows that there is nothing he will not do to get Tristan back. While Tristan fights to keep his sanity, Alex uses everyone he can, but can he find a moving prison ship before the fight is too much for Tristan?

Home, familiar, alien. Answers? Tristan returns to the one place he never expected to go to: Samalia—home, dragged there against his will by Alex, who believes its people hold Tristan's cure. What Alex discovers is that a corporation is taking over the planet, bit by bit, and simply returning a Samalian artifact isn't enough to complete the ritual. Can Alex stand still long enough for Tristan to rebuild the place the artifact belongs? Can Tristan remain sane enough to do the work? And if Tristan does get better, will Alex be able to accept what it means? For once broken, can someone ever be exactly who they used to be?
