Vared

Wavy Martin is the snarky alter ego of award-winning author Vivian M. Lumbard. While Vivian was swept up in the adulting craze and modeling good behavior for children, Wavy has steadfastly maintained her ability to curse, have no filter, and be sarcastic as well as politically incorrect. If Wavy's body were as young as her heart, she would sport expensive leathers with thigh-high boots and ride a motorcycle. She will never admit that a minivan, sneakers with ortho inserts and a regular sleep schedule are better for her body. When Vivian is distracted with writer's block during her more serious work, Wavy takes over the keyboard to write the steamy, sometimes irreverent, books. Wavy rarely makes personal appearances these days, but if she does, it's usually when Vivian has had one too many mixed drinks.

Stubborn meets hotheaded and sparks fly.

Thirty years ago, the Zuvgran released a virus that killed most Svesti females and rendered the remainder infertile. The Svesti initiate first contact with Earth when their scientists discover that humans and Svesti can interbreed. Humans may be able to save the warrior species that has been protecting Earth's region of space for a century.

Talia has no intention of entering into a breeding or troth contract, no matter what her government promised. All she wants is to negotiate a treaty and go back to Earth to her son and sister.


Vared is the commander of the space cruiser. As a warrior, he isn't sure he wants any mate. His job: deliver the human females safely to their Choosings at the King's Court.

Vared is the first book in the Svesti Fated Mates series with a HEA and can be read as a standalone, although it is recommended that the books be read in order for the best experience.
