Axel Rex: Cyborg Awakenings Book 4
About this ebook
He is in charge of demolishing ruins in Farringay to make way for a new interstellar starport. During his virtual life in stasis, he was educated and trained for war and love. Love in the form of one genetically compatible female and freedom at the end of service was their motivation to serve.
Love was the last thing on his mind when one stubborn female refused to leave a building set for demolition.
Layne Rose and her cat Sammy claimed a ruined apartment building as their home. No cyborg goon will make her give up her home, so Axel pulls her out, kicking and screaming. Retracting his armor face plate, he explains why she has to leave. Stunned to realize she is his genetic mate, he can’t deny her plea to go back for her cat.
Layne takes the opportunity to grab her cat and run. Axel intercepts her easily and convinces her to return to the barracks with him. This buys him time to figure out how best to tell her she is his mate.
Layne can’t deny the primal sexual attraction she feels for Axel. She is not sure she likes him, but she knows she won’t get a better offer. Could she love a cyborg? Could she love this cyborg?
About the author
Christine Myers (pen name Clarissa Lake) has been a science fiction fan since seeing the original “Day the Earth Stood Still” at age eight. Her favorite sub-genre is science fiction romance with interstellar space travel and a bit of space opera.
She grew up watching Star Trek and reading Marvel Comics. She attended science fiction and fantasy conventions, meeting many well-known science fiction authors and attending their readings and discussion panels. They included sci-fi greats Anne McCaffery, CJ Cherry, George RR Martin, Ben Bova, Timothy Zahn, Frederik Pohl, and Orson Scot Card.
Among the most influential in her work are the Lazarus Long novels by Robert Heinlein, including “Time Enough for Love” and Marta Randall’s “Journey.” She loves Star Trek, Firefly, Farscape, and Veteran Cosmic Rockers, the Moody Blues.
After spending years trying to get her work published by traditional publishers, she discovered KDP and became an Indie Author/Publisher. This means she does it all, from writing to publishing.
While she loves sci-fi, she always thought there should be more romance, so she started writing it hot and steamy under the pen name Clarissa Lake. Now that it’s no longer a secret, she publishes under both names.
