Antonello Brothers Series

A fast-paced SciFi Romance with an adorable, fun-loving hero who's half-human and half-cat and a by-the-book army captain heroine. Hired to steal back a prototype taken by the imperial armada, Senth retrieves it, but his brother is kidnapped to force Senth to surrender the device. Now he has to rescue his brother, outsmart the armada, and keep the item out of imperial hands. All doable, except for one small problem. He must do it in the company of NarrAy, a genetically altered woman whose pheromones could enhance the mission or crumble it into dust with a single siren kiss. He's a thief. She's a soldier. Do opposites attract? Oh, mercy!

Kin ambassador Fawni Ruh visits the capitol planet of the empire and meets security expert, Khyff, a human. A death in her family forces Fawni to return home, but she can't bear to part with Khyff and takes him along. Her family demands she cast out the human, or abdicate her future rule. When Fawni searches for an alternative, she stumbles upon Khyff's secret. The cover-up, if exposed, will betray her world to its enemies, and bare her family to open shame. Her duty is clear. She must shun this human. Yet how can she leave Khyff to suffer in the darkness that binds his heart? To save his brother, Khyff must seduce and then betray an alien ambassador whose people devastated his family. Hatred for the aliens burns within him, but unless he can learn to embrace the past, face the demons he swore he'd forget, and find a way to forgive, his brother will die. But how can he hope for a happy ever after, when his hidden truth is her people's hidden lie...
