Starthief Night: Sapphira Space Station security chief, Kaimir Misca, forms an unlikely alliance while uncovering a jewel thief.
"Forgive me for giving a crap about someone’s life. Maybe you should try it sometime."

Crimson: Marion is swayed by temptation when a mysterious newcomer to Washington D.C. rekindles her desire.
"The sensation is stronger this time. My body responds in kind as her fingers skim down my spine."

Think of the Stars: In this backstory for the Runebound Earth series, Earth is endangered when an asteroid deflection goes wrong.
"Enough debris has scattered and we have identified three distinct meteoroids. Dr. Kinsler... their trajectory is now Earth."

Emotional High: What if the wardens from the Runebound Earth series were introduced in the city of Kosso... to "fix" human emotions?
"Kasie Williams, Violation 8-4-8-0-1-7: Hilarity. Risk to public safety. Solution: Reconfiguration."

Kale Salad (With a Side of Fries): Executive assistants Bob and Tom take CEO Becca's suggestion too seriously in this drive-thru caper.
"I glanced back at Bob, who shook his head once quickly. Today would be another day we'd not present our idea for Tuxedo Tuesdays."

Entwined: Carly discovers that her family are Keepers, those who protect the memories of others from fading. She learns their rules—and how to break them.
"When a person's mind begins losing its grasp on vivid details, it's because their Keeper has passed on. Their souls are no longer entwined, and memories they protect become dim remnants of what they once were."

Not Long Enough: Centuries after the near-genocide of the male gender, a man is found in a research lab. On-duty officer Lilah must decide his fate.
"The reintegration of genders would expand society while adding new complexities and wonders for subsequent generations. But also new problems. Always new problems."

Twilight Drive: Jackie's bad day will only get worse when her path crosses with Charles, a soul-reaper.
"As we rolled to a stop, the woman leaned foward, those painted lips parting to speak. Just being this close now was like a drug I couldn't wait to consume."

High Tide: The year is 2369—more than 200 years following the destruction of Mars. An astronaut keeps a journal of the first voyage to Earth's second moon.
"Everything was great the first two chains... but when we reached the last foothold, my tether snapped while I was mid-bounce."
