Breeder: Mali is awed at the strength, agility and sheer ferocity of the dark stranger the village men drag through the gates of Mirdua, until she discovers their purpose in capturing him, for Mirdua no longer has men capable of breeding, and they have need of one--for her. Rebelling the moment she discovers the stranger has nothing but contempt for the 'honor' they have in mind for him, and every intention of fighting them to keep his seed, Mali is given two unpalatable choices--she can either take the man's seed, or she will be banished from the village. Since banishment is tantamount to a death sentence, it isn't much of a choice.... Rating: Contains explicit, graphic sex, strong language, and violence. Blood Sin: Nicole is a woman with a mission: retrieve the golden seed of an Elumi known to flourish even in the womb of a woman unable to conceive.

Rating: Contains graphic language, explicit sexual content, profanity, forced seduction, and violence. This was previously released in the print anthology The Fallen.
