They steal people; farm them in the bowels of the earth like cattle, leaving little hope for humanity to survive. Against the odds, they fight to stay alive. They are the Noor people. (Book 2) SYNOPSIS Tusha has come away from Bom's prison considerably emotionally scared. She refuses to even be called by the treasured name Loki gave her, choosing instead to be called Susan.Her view of males now is that they are predatory, especially those of Noor blood. She has more or less become a man hater, and shows it in her attitude toward Liam, the mind-male of the junction pair, when she meets him. However, as she returns to the underground prison, she finds Liam a captive in Bom's torture room, and though she is reluctant, she cannot abandon him.Throw into this mix a contentious human man, and the interaction gets decidedly testy. Even after a shocking healing incident helps the two Noor get closer, Susa still struggles with her lack of forgiveness, and harbors an animosity toward Loki, the Physical who abandoned her.Left behind on Dia's med ship, Loki too is suffering for his choices. As well, there seems to be a deadly connection to his mental half, with which he must cope. To this point, only Uel has an inkling of what really ails the huge Instant Healer, for Loki has refused to let him disclose what went on in the prison.In order to enjoy this second book in the Noor series, I suggest you first read book I, Gentle Beast.

When a tiny sphere appears out of empty space, informs her she belongs to a lost race, she is not surprised. As the device knocks her in the forehead, a whole new reality opens up, and Sonia finds herself responsible not only for the welfare of dysfunctional family, but also holding the lives of a rag-tag inter-racial band of survivors. She calls these the invisible ones: Aopato (Ah-or-atos in Greek).Sonia's life goal will forever be the safety and happiness of those in her care. Why should it be any different now? But there are those who oppose her, believing she has neither the skills or qualifications to carry out her function.

How could agape love be sufficient to conquer such hurtles? Will this struggling new remnant die at its birth?

They steal people; farm them in the bowels of the earth like cattle, leaving little hope for humanity to survive. Against the odds, Althea fights to stay alive, and in the process, finds an undesirable named Loki to help her before it's too late. They are the Noor people. (BOOK 1)SYNOPSIS - Picture human life with no more value than domestic cattle. Then imagine finding your life partner in that setting. This story has two main characters. The first is Loki, a non-human healer. He's made the mistake of his life, and now must pay, unjustly sentenced to prison for protecting the honor of his sister. Out in the universe where Loki comes from, he is viewed as an undesirable. He belongs to a misunderstood species, an outcast forbidden to take a mate. Also, a one-of-a-kind being, he is so rare he is feared by most, and revered by others. When Loki joins prison life, he expects it to be cruel, his freedom curtailed, but he is totally unprepared for the sideline enterprise the warden inside has established. Our second character is Althea. She is an average human woman struggling to make ends meet in today's society, living alone, neglected by family, who consider their own problems more important than maintaining relationships. When Althea makes a mistake that has unexpected results, she is thrown into Loki's ugly new prison world. As her children follow suit with bad judgment of their own, the results impact all in most unusual ways. Reader be forewarned: this is not a story for the faint of heart. It was written to mirror attitudes you may not enjoy. It is in memory of the countless little lives lost each year in our world.
