Dark Runner

LodeStar Series Book 5

Tal Darkrunner is not just a tattooed bad boy, he’s the leader of a dangerous gang. Serpentian warrior Scala Raj knows this—so why can’t she stay away from him? She’s supposed to be spying on him to gain back her freedom, not falling for him.

Tal fought his way to the top in the vicious streets of New Seattle, Earth II. Now he rules his gritty kingdom, his skin marked with a piece of inked body art for every victory won through his courage, cunning and absolute refusal to back down—ever.

Only one thing could send him hurtling into deep space—a mission to find and destroy the slavers who tried to take the one woman he wanted. He trusts no one, including Scala, the defiant beauty with a lethal body who joins his small crew.

That won’t stop him from enjoying the pleasures of her body. But no matter how fiery the passion that arcs between them, he’ll never risk his heart.

Unless she slips under his guard and steals it …

“One of my favorites in the LodeStar series! It features romance with some voyeuristic kink thrown in, a super-hot male lead, and a non-traditional (but happy) ending. It’s an adventurous and positive story without the traditional Marriage & Babies claptrap, so keep this in mind if you prefer the “I do” at the end. But then, if you’re that traditional you may not enjoy the sexuality described in this novel.” — Kindle Customer

“I really like this whole series. The characters are complex and interesting. The world building is substantial and believable. Most important of all the author makes it easy to get pulled into caring about the characters. It gives a different spin on what most of us typically think of as bad guys. Thought provoking. I highly recommend either as a stand alone or as part of the series.” — Melinda Burt, Kindle Customer
