Cyborg vs. Valkyrie: Blood will be spilled and hearts will be captured.
Intrepid and his crew on the Dauntless guard the border to the cyborg sector. The D Model cyborg captain has dedicated his lifespan to protecting their homeland. He’ll do anything to secure the space and keep his brethren safe. That includes confronting a Valkyrie intent on vengeance. The female warrior is beautiful, brave, strong…and Intrepid’s genetic match. She’s the one being he is fated to claim. Her voice causes his circuits to hum. Her touch produces a passion he struggles to control. But if he has to stop her…permanently…to protect his kind, he will make that sacrifice.
Olrun has been tracking the whereabouts of a one-of-a-kind object. The stolen item is critical to the safety of her Valkyrie sisters, and she’ll do anything to retrieve it. That includes waging war on a tall, broad-shouldered cyborg warrior sporting brilliant-blue eyes and grimly set lips. The male might…just might…have battle skills matching her own. And that excites the immortal fighter. She craves his rough handling, his punishing embrace, his stern words. But Olrun’s desire for the cyborg won’t distract her from achieving her goal. She will shield her fellow Valkyries from danger, even if that means ending Intrepid's lifespan in the process.

USA Today bestselling author Cynthia Sax writes steamy cyborg and alien romances. Her stories have been featured in Star Magazine, on TV, and numerous romance top ten lists.
When she isn't writing, she's traveling the world with her Dear Wonderful Hubby, meeting new people, visiting new places.
We're back with the cyborgs and captain of the Dauntless is up this time around. His special someone? A fierce warrior lady who doesn't quite fit in with her people. After all, she's formed attachments (her daughter) outside of her Valkyrie sisters and that's just not done. And yet...there she is.
So while Olrun might fight against her attraction to Intrepid because she already has one mark against her for loving her non-Valkyrie daughter, she can't resist the smitten cyborg. After all, he thinks she's the literal best and he loves that she can stand her ground against him.
On Intrepid's end, Olrun is everything he ever wanted in a match and then some. She's smart and fierce and she loves fighting. The only sticky point in them as a couple (at first) is that Intrepid had vowed to keep his fellow cyborgs safe from any threat and the Valkyrie is most definitely a threat.
A little fighting, a whole lot of sexy times, a mission that takes them into enemy territory (where they get to do a whole lot of damage), a cyborg who adores his violence loving female from the first, and a Valkyrie who finds a family who accepts her. GOOD STUFF.
Intrepid is the captain of the dauntless and enjoyed his job until he found his genetic match in a valkyrie. His cyborg boss had told him he needed to kill the Valkyrie so she could not enter cyborgs space but Intrepid could not. Now they face exile, can they find happiness? Highly recommend this book and series
Captain Intrepid has met his match...a Valkyrie. Now he has to win her. That's if she doesn't kill him. Love the characters. Love the storyline, sparkling dialog, frequent and enthusiastic romantic moments. A very entertaining book. Enjoy!
As I have admitted before, I am a sucker for these earnest cyborgs who are as devoted to their fated mates as they are to blowing stuff up. In this case, the fated mate is a blade-wielding Valkyrie entranced enough to take the cyborg prisoner in spite of her 'take no prisoners' code.
Not my favorite in the series. She keeps talking about how she's going to kill him in battle, then they screw and she's telling him she likes a little pain.
