Braden
A level-three Shareem, created solely to give sexual pleasure through dominance, Braden is also on a mission. A mission to help get all Shareem off Bor Narga. The highborn women who rule the desert planet enforce cruel restrictions on the Shareem, deeming them less than human. Creatures incapable of feeling.
But Braden feels—especially for Elisa, the librarian who aided him while researching his mission. Elisa is a celibate; Braden can be terminated for merely touching her. And touch her, he does. Teaching Elisa what it means to feel, to want, to revel in pleasures of the flesh.
When their forbidden trysts result in new restrictions, Braden realizes he’s put his fellow Shareem, his mission and, most importantly, Elisa in danger. To save her, he must leave her; only pain and hardship come from loving a Shareem. But his precious librarian has other ideas…
Raeder Advisory: What’s better than one Shareem? Two. And thanks to a little gift from Braden, Elisa learns how fun during a blazing M/F/M scene.

Braden was always a problem for his creators. Defiant and resistant to their control, he nonetheless excelled at being a level three Shareem. That was his saving grace. Now that Shareem are "free" he finds himself longing for more. More freedom to be himself and freedom to find what his other Shareem friends have. A woman who loves him and for him to love right back. Doing his part to facilitate an esca

Stormwalker
Janet Begay is a Stormwalker--one who can channel the power of storms to work great magic. The desert town of Magellan is no stranger to the weird--vortexes that hold mystical energy lie just outside of town, and the residents are used to shape shifters, witches, shamans, and the occasional blood-sucking Nightwalker. Janet comes to Magellan to find a missing woman and confront her past, and she discovers secrets, lies, and hidden dangers. She'll need all the help she can get: from Mick, the mysterious fire-wielder who springs back into her life; from Coyote, a trickster god; from Jamison, her Changer friend; and from Nash, the Unbeliever sheriff who may be more powerful than all of them combined.

Once upon a time a woman could shop for her sexual pleasure. Like a fully-functional Ken doll, Shareem came in three levels, each more titillating than the previous one. Level 1 was sensuality, Level 2 sexy games and fun, and Level 3 came with a whip. Rees wasn’t any of those. He was all three rolled into one, and then he had capabilities his creators weren’t sure about.&nb

Rylan is a Shareem, a genetically enhanced man designed to give sexual pleasure. He grew up at DNAmo, the lab that created him. What isn’t common knowledge is that DNAmo once made a female Shareem. Maia was beautiful, with black hair and blue eyes, and she intimidated any man she came in contact with. Deemed a failure, she was deemed only acceptable for experiments.

As a highborn woman, Katarina should shun all Shareem. Yet the compassionate young doctor works in Pas City, one of Bor Narga’s worst slums, voluntarily treating all lower classes. And Shareem are considering the lowest of the low. One taste of Calder, however, and she wants more than sex with The Beast—she wants the love of Calder the man.
