Kaede shuddered, licking his lips to prepare for what he had to get off his chest. “I have a confession. I’ve secretly wanted you ever since I laid my eyes upon your file. You became an obsession, a craving, an addiction. I wanted to know everything about you, for reasons I didn’t understand. Once we met, it dawned on me: We are stars within the same constellation, just trying to figure out where and how we belong. The connection we felt to one another from the beginning proves we were meant to be together all this time.”
He looked away as he tried to voice the words that were coursing through him. Grabbing her hand, he returned his gaze. “Selena, I love you. There are so many things I want to say to you, but delaying you any further will only reduce your chance of survival. However, know this, I will find you again. It may take another life, but I will find you, and when I do, I won’t make this mistake again. I will love you freely, together with whoever else is in our constellation, because you are worth waiting for another lifetime.”
Another bolt hit the ship, smacking his head once more against the wall. The warning alarms blared. Doom was upon them.
Leaning over, he kissed her lips as tears fell freely from his face.
“Remember me when you look up at the stars,” he muttered. “For if I survive, I will spend all my life trying to find you once again. Until then, picture me smiling down upon you.”AUTHORS NOTE:
Thank you for taking the time to read my book!
I know… That ending…
I promise things will get better for Selena and her crew!
While I am working frantically on Failure, there will be two side stories about two of Kaede’s sisters working behind the scenes, between the events of Develop and Failure.
Their stories will follow them as they search for answers to what happened --- and unexpectedly discover love along the way.

Failure
I had sworn to her that I would find her again... No matter what.
I would fix the mistakes that I had made and bring her home…
The Aldawi Empire is in chaos, with their enemies approaching from all borders. And none of that matters to me.
Unknown enemies have forced my hand into sending her away to save her life. And now that I have survived, I will do what I do best--hunt.
It has taken me eight years to find my master’s Nova, but now I am not searching for her on his behalf. This is my own personal mission and I will not let others interfere with my quest.
Selena will always be my prey. And when I find her, I will make sure she remembers what I said before I had sent her away.
I refuse to be a failure.

We set out from Earth in search of a new world. I never thought it would end with us crashing on a planet full of dragon shifters.
When I’m taken from my people by a fierce Drakarian warrior, my first thought is of escape. Varus is the Prince of the Fire Clan. He claims the glowing pattern on his chest means that I’m his fated one—his Linaya.
I doubt he's going to just let me go. But what does it mean to be fated to a dragon?

Charmed By The Fox's Heart
When I woke up this morning and went to my regular coffee house, I had no idea my life was about to change forever.
Cael’s devastatingly handsome smile and his intense green eyes are swoon worthy enough by themselves, but add in an air of mystery and this guy is the whole package. The excitement I never knew I was missing in my life.
As we grow closer, we find out the fate of two worlds is in our hands. And now we must work together to find allies to prevent a cycle of destruction that could end all life as we know it.
Each time we touch, we feel a connection. I’m drawn to him in ways that I don’t understand. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a recurring nightmare, and now I find out that Cael has the same dream.
But what does it mean? I know I can trust him with my life, but can I also trust him with my heart?
