Three American sisters. Three Aussie guys. Three soul-searing romances.

Meet the De Luca Sisters…

Insta-love is the name of the game. That powerful moment that shakes both people to the core and changes everything for them in a single look. Buckle up. Things are about to get fast and wild and fun.

The De Luca Sisters Trilogy. All In One Collection.

Along Came An Aussie

Bria De Luca lives life without a safety-net. As a professional skydiver, she’s always ready to take a leap of faith. Even a bad landing that breaks a few bones, and a breakup that shakes her confidence a bit, isn’t enough to stop her from living her life full throttle. When she meets a hot Aussie at a Halloween party, she’s ready to ditch the costumes and play a little trick and treat.

Hot Aussie Night

Life-long anxiety isn’t going to stop Elisa De Luca from enjoying her sister’s Christmas engagement party. She’s got a process, and as long as things don’t get too chaotic she’ll be okay. And then, she suddenly finds herself engaged to a hot, hot, hot Aussie—five minutes after meeting him—and chaos is the word of the day.

Aussie Actually

It doesn’t matter how romantic her sister’s beach wedding is, no way is Zeta De Luca—the last sister standing—going to fall in love with anyone. She’s got her safari park job and her new cheetah kittens to care for, thank you very much. And no way in hell is she going to fall for arrogant Australian doctor, Michael ‘Mick to my friends’ Blackthorne, no matter how freaking hot he is. Nope. Not happening.

And then he asks her to dance…

The Boundaries Book 3

Beware! Not for the faint of heart. Contains desire and lust darker than the depths of space.

The stunning conclusion to The Boundaries trilogy begins…

The brutal crime lord Hrung Crortek has seized Terran Boundary Guardian Zeric Arctos, hoping to extract Zeric’s werewolf DNA for use in an illegal genetic serum. Now Jaienna Ti, Intel-Patrol Corp agent and sexual assassin, is on a mission to wipe Crortek from existence-and she’s taking her ex-partner Raq Tornada along for the ride!

But when Tornada finally reveals-in no uncertain terms-how deeply he’s in love with her, Jaienna faces a completely unexpected conflict: does she stay with the man who first shattered her heart, or does she go with the man who taught her to love again-the brooding, untameable werewolf she’s trying so desperately to save?

When lust, love, and longing become inextricably entwined, the Outer Boundaries become more dangerous than ever. Because Jaienna never planned on losing her heart to two men. And those two men never ever planned on sharing her. But unless Raq Tornada agrees to help Jaienna rescue his rival, Zeric Arctos is already doomed…

Author’s Note: The Boundaries is a dark, erotic sci-fi serial romance told in THREE PARTS. There’s 100% a HEA at the end of the trilogy. Promise. The journey is full of dark desires, dark lust, danger, violence, passion, betrayal, dub con, passion and love. The kind of love that nothing can destroy. If this is not your thing, The Boundaries is not for you.

The Boundaries Book 2

Beware! Contains an alpha-male wolf shifter, a kick-ass feisty heroine, a dangerous assassin, a dangerous love triangle, and desire and lust darker than the depths of space.

Intel-Patrol Corp agent, Jaienna Ti has gone rogue. Now that she’s saved her sister from a life of sexual slavery at the hands of a cruel crime lord, she is fighting a battle of a different kind-one involving her heart and the brooding Boundary Guardian, Zeric Arctos.

Zeric has his own battle. An ancient curse renders him a savage beast unlike any the Boundaries has seen before. Once only anger triggered the change, but now his driving hunger for Jaienna is threatening to set the wolf free. And he doesn’t know if he can control it.

When the head of the Intel-Patrol Corp sends an agent out to retrieve Jaienna, the two face a threat more dangerous than any before. Raq Tornada. Violent, tenacious and deadly, Raq is an agent to fear. He’s also Jaienna’s ex-lover. And he has a score to settle with her.

The Outer Boundaries is a dangerous cesspool of sin, lust and depravity.

And it’s about to get wild.

The Boundaries Book 1

Beware! Contains an alpha-male wolf shifter, a kick-ass feisty heroine, and desire and lust darker than the depths of space.

The Boundaries: Part One

Boundary Guardian Zeric Arctos knows trouble when he sees it – and Raavelian sex-slave Jaienna Ti screams all sorts of trouble. Tracking a nefarious Bliss dealer, Zeric must stay focused on the job, something almost impossible to do with Jaienna in his midst. To make matters worse, the seductive Raavelian brings out the ‘animal’ in him – an ancient blood curse he has struggled to control his whole life. The beast now threatens to consume him and Jaienna’s intoxicating kisses makes the primitive call so much harder to resist.

Jaienna Ti is out for revenge. And she’ll stop at nothing to achieve it. Posing as a sex-slave isn’t the worst thing she’s done – she is, after all an Intel-Patrol Corp termination agent, albeit a rogue one – but it’s definitely one of the more interesting roles she’s assumed. And it gets even more interesting when Zeric Arctos ‘rescues’ her. Surely being an intergalactic sexual assassin has to come with some perks, right?

Should she seduce him? Or kill him? Or both?

As an ex-succubus granted her soul by the Highest of Deities, Inari Chayse has spent the twenty years since her “rebirth” channeling her voracious sexual energy into kicking the asses of all malevolent paranormal beings.

Torn between the demon she was and the demon assassin she has become, she has no intention of complicating her life further. But when the vampire who pleasures her dreams walks into her paranormal strip club complicated doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Fifty years ago, Ezryn Navarro abdicated his true-born throne to spare his people a bloody destruction. He never expected to find himself in a Sydney strip club, buried in the deliciously sensual body of the very divine assassin he’s been commanded to kill. The bigger surprise? Inari awakens something he thought long dead. His humanity.

As their tormented desires intertwine with a centuries-old battle of blood and power, redemption seems as unobtainable as love. The backlash will rock the entire vampire race, leading to their salvation…or their deaths.

Is love enough to save the world?

The First Horseman of the Apocalypse, Pestilence is tired of waiting. Mankind is his to destroy. But first he has to defeat one of his own, the Fourth Horseman, Death, along with the lowly human she’s so fond of. The one prophesised to save the world.

Patrick Watkins wasn’t prepared for the way his body—and soul—respond to Death when she suddenly appears in his bedroom. He’s just a normal guy, saving lives at Australia’s busiest beach. But a lifetime of feeling he’s meant for something bigger haunts him, and it only intensifies at Death’s touch and crystalises with her kiss.

Death isn’t interested in bringing about the end of humanity. She’s focused on claiming the souls of the departed, thank you very much. And then she encounters Patrick Watkins. There’s an enigmatic significance to the sexy Australian that pulls on her very existence. And makes her question her very purpose.

Falling in lust with a human isn’t a problem, but falling in love with one? The one who stands in Pestilence’s way. That’s dangerous.

Apocalypse-level dangerous.

When it comes to love or duty, for Death and Patrick, picking a side might just lead to the end. Of everything.

**Author note** Dark Destiny was originally released in 2009 as Death, the Vamp and His Brother. This edition has been significantly reworked/rewritten/refreshed. Yay!

Author’s note: The De Luca Sisters trilogy comes to an end. But what a way to finish! This book has hate at first sight, lust at second sight, followed by love at third sight. There’s insanely hot nookie, a failed heroic flooded creek rescue, and some very bad dancing.

It’s a hate-lust-love kinda thing…

It doesn’t matter how romantic her sister’s beach wedding is, no way is Zeta De Luca—the last sister standing—going to fall in love with anyone. She’s got her safari park job and her new cheetah kittens to care for, thank you very much. And no way in hell is she going to fall for arrogant Australian doctor, Michael ‘Mick to my friends’ Blackthorne, no matter how freaking hot he is. Nope. Not happening.

And then he asks her to dance.

Mick Blackthorne has no idea why Zeta De Luca has got so far under his skin, but she has. From the second they first met, she keeps living rent free in his head. The snarky American seems to push all his buttons and is impervious to his laid-back charms. Not that he wants to charm her, of course. The idea of him and Zeta together? No. No way. As if.

So why the hell does his heart quicken every time she looks at him?

What’s cooking for Christmas? A hot serving of insta-lust with a side order of fake fiancé.

Life-long anxiety isn’t going to stop Elisa De Luca from enjoying her sister’s Christmas engagement party. She’s got a process, and as long as things don’t get too chaotic she’ll be okay. And then, she suddenly finds herself engaged to a hot, hot, hot Aussie—five minutes after meeting him—and chaos is the word of the day.

Super-chef Angus Daniels doesn’t do relationships, but the second he meets Elisa De Luca he’s drawn to her. Big time. When the shy American inexplicably saves him from a sharkish TV producer hellbent on making him the titular star on a bachelor show, Angus begins to question everything he thought he wanted.

A fake engagement requires a fake relationship, but it doesn’t take long for Elisa and Angus to realise there’s nothing fake about what’s happening between them. But when reality feeds baggage, and anxiety nibbles at certainty, love at first sight might not be enough for a happy Christmas. Or a Happy Ever After, full stop.

Love has a way of biting you on the butt when you least expect it…

Chelsea

Timothy Holt is totally out of my league. He’s damn-near Australian royalty and I’m just a dog trainer. There’s no chance he’d want anything to do with me, especially after I accidentally spilt juice all over him just before he’s about to go on national TV. And then the success of my business suddenly hinges on us being in a relationship. How the hell am I going to make that happen?

Tim

Romance isn’t on my agenda. Nor is dog ownership. And then Chelsea Parker slams into me. Literally. She’s a complication I don’t need, but for some reason, I can’t stop thinking about her. Her smile, the way she makes me laugh, the way my body reacts to her…. I want everything about her. But what is she going to do when she discovers the truth I’m hiding from her? A truth involving a three-legged mutt called Wilbur?

~A note from Lexxie: “Who’s A Good Boy? is a stand-alone, 100% HEA, feel-good contemporary romance that will make you smile. Or wag your tail”.
