‘You did once.’
‘Aah, that was part of my cunning plan.’ She heard the smile in his words and it eased a little of her heartache.
It was time to step into her future. Sherise moved out of Maaka’s embrace and stared with brimming eyes at the distant stars.
Goodbye, my brother. May your life be long and filled with happiness.
Beside her, Maaka intertwined his fingers with her, his touch warm and firm. When he lifted their linked hands and placed a tender kiss to her fingertips, her heart floated as high as the moon.
And Sherise turned her back on the star-lit sky.

The Darkon Warriors Books 1–4
S. E. Gilchrist
In this anthology explore the Seven Galaxies and S.E. Gilchrist’s bestselling science-fiction romance series The Darkon Warriors.
In Legend Beyond the Stars, Captain Alana Knight volunteers to aid a dangerous operation to transport colonists between Earth and alien traders. When the colonists are betrayed and sold, Alana’s mission is re-defined. Nothing will stop her from keeping those in her care safe and finding a passage home. But her new captor is nothing like she expects…
In The Portal, when Janni, a young salvager, boards a space wreck, she is caught for daring to steal Darkon tech by the one man she had thought never to see again. Now they are trapped on a wreck and with an alien life-force hunting them. Will the patroller save her or abandon Janni to her fate?
In Awakening the Warriors, Fran left her ordinary, safe life and volunteered as a colonist to terra-form a new earth. Now she is trapped in a prison cell on an alien planet a zillion miles from home and bound for a hideous death in notorious research chambers. She has one chance of escape: awaken the long dormant sexual urges of the Darkon Warriors shackled in the next cell.
In Star Pirate’s Justice, Carly has one focus in her life: to return home to her terminally ill younger sister. When she learns that a Darkon traitor possesses gateway maps to Earth, she uses all her skills to track him down. But capturing the charming star pirate turns out to be trickier than she anticipated…
When Stars Collide
S. E. Gilchrist
The third full-length novel in S. E. Gilchrist’s bestselling erotic SF series mixes one sexy spy, a soldier looking for salvation and an unlikely mission to save the world.
Reece, contortionist bubble dancer and part-time spy, has one goal – a safe haven and independent life far from the war. But her plans go awry and her future becomes dangerously uncertain when she is falsely accused of the murders of her friend and a Darkon traitor. Now her new list of goals includes payback.
In her way is Ulrac, a banished Darkon patroller responsible for incarcerating females for barbaric ‘treatments’ and ‘research’ on the planet Isla. He's determined to use the capture of the spy and her intel to win the approval of his father – a hard-line Traditionalist with his own agenda – and help him overthrow the current ruler of Darkos.
But the war of the Seven Galaxies has reached a critical stage, and personal plans and goals suddenly hold very little meaning. The enemy is poised to unleash a terrible weapon and no one stands between him and total domination of all the universes.
No one – except Reece and Ulrac
Bargain With The Enemy
S. E. Gilchrist
From the best-selling Darkon Warriors series comes an enemy-to-lover story about a brother, a best friend, and the precious gift they leave behind.
Masquerading as her best friend is probably not the wisest decision Stephanie ever made, but she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her friends’ orphaned baby, especially from the father’s emotionless, soulless vacuum of a family. They’ll make it back to Earth, and be a loving, supportive family of two.
With his brother dead, Ivo will do anything to ensure the daughter he had with his human lover remains under his control and protection. The child, Mia, belongs here, in the Seven Galaxies, where she can be raised in the appropriate way.
But the only way to the child is through a bargain with a female deserter, a woman with no honour. Lust, however, has no reason, and when Stephanie and Ivo act on their attraction, they inadvertently set new terms. With Mia’s life in the balance, can they find a contract with a future, or will everything fall apart in negotiations?
Touring The Stars
S. E. Gilchrist
From S. E. Gilchrist comes the next big thing: The Starburst Rock Band – coming to a galaxy near you…
The first long-range star voyager will soon depart the Seven Galaxies on its quest to find Earth. Desperately in love with a Darkon warrior who appears oblivious to her existence, Elise has reserved a cabin. But before she leaves, she has one more thing she wants to do: bring some fun and light into the countless lives that have known only war. And if it gives her one last chance to try and win her warrior’s heart? Well, so much the better.
Commander Magar understands duty, and that the world might not be as safe as everyone hopes. Under the cover of providing security for the new rock band, Magar has orders to search for a renegade Elite captain – one who has no intention of coming quietly. But the close quarters with Elise, the woman who holds his heart – and the hearts of his daughters, makes keeping his mind on work increasingly difficult.
He may not be worthy of her heart, but that doesn’t stop him from craving it, along with her body and soul.
