1. ICE PLANET BARBARIANS by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
You’d think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you’d be wrong. Because now, the aliens are having ship trouble, and they’ve left their cargo of human women—including me—on an ice planet. And the only native inhabitant I’ve met? He’s big, horned, blue, and really, really has a thing for me...
2. BARBARIAN ALIEN by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
Twelve humans are left stranded on a wintry alien planet. I’m one of them. Yay, me. In order to survive, we have to take on a symbiont that wants to rewire our bodies to live in this brutal place. I like to call it a cootie. And my cootie’s a jerk because it also thinks I’m the mate to the biggest, surliest alien of the group.
3. BARBARIAN LOVER by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
As one of the few humans stranded on the ice planet, I should be happy that I have a new home. Human women are treasured here, and one alien in particular has made it clear that he wants me. It’s hard to push away the sexy, flirtatious Aehako, when all I want to do is grab him by his horns and insist he take me to his furs. But I’ve got a terrible secret—the aliens who abducted me are back, and thanks to the translator in my ear, they can find me. My presence here endangers everyone... but can I give up my new life and the man I want more than anything?
4. BARBARIAN MINE by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
The ice planet has given me a second lease on life, so I’m thrilled to be here. Sure, there’re no cheeseburgers, but I’m healthy and ready to be a productive member of the small tribe. What I didn’t anticipate? That there’d be a savage stranger waiting nearby, watching me. And when he takes me captive, the unthinkable happens... I resonate to him.
Resonance means mating, and children... but I don’t know if this guy’s ever been around anyone before. He’s truly a barbarian in all ways, right down to clubbing me over the head and claiming me as his own. So why is it that I crave his touch and hunger for more?
5. ICE PLANET HOLIDAY by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
All this snow and no holidays? What’s a stranded human to do? Create a new holiday, of course. Georgie and the other women decide to bring some new traditions and cheer to the sa-khui. More babies are born, presents are exchanged, and a new romance blossoms between a human woman desperate for a change, and the alien determined to protect her.
6. BARBARIAN’S PRIZE by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
It’s hard being the most popular girl on the ice planet. The alien men are falling all over themselves to impress me in the hopes that I’ll take them to my furs. But they don’t know my secrets—none of them do. And they don’t realize that behind my smile, I just wish they’d go away.
I don’t want any of them. I want someone else—someone with a gorgeous blue body, big horns, and the most intense gaze ever. He’s the only one that knows the truth. Maybe with him, I can work through my fears of the past… but I’m pretty sure he wants more than just friendship. He wants forever, and I’m not sure I can give it.
7. BARBARIAN’S MATE by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
‘Resonance’ is supposed to be a dream—that’s when your soulmate is chosen for you. And everyone on the ice planet has hooked up with a big, hunky soulmate of their own... except me. So do I want a mate? Heck yeah. More than anything, all I’ve ever wanted is to be loved by someone.
Except that the soulmate chosen for me? My least favorite person on the darn ice planet. Haeden’s the most cranky, disapproving, unpleasant, overbearing male alien... so why is it that my body sings when he gets close? Why is he working so hard to prove to me that he’s not as awful as I think he is? I hate him... don’t I?
8. BARBARIAN’S TOUCH by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
When I wake up on the ice planet, I’m scared of everything: this place is cold, silent, and the locals look more like blue devils than aliens. To make matters worse, one of the strangers decides I’m going to be his girlfriend and kidnaps me away from my sister. I’m completely and utterly alone. What’s a girl to do? Well, this girl escapes.
Of course, that means I go from a frying pan into the fire, and my situation gets even more dangerous. Just when I have no hope left, a new hero appears. Sure, he’s blue, horned, and has a tail. He’s also fierce, protective, makes me purr... and thinks I’m perfect. But is what we have real or just a mating instinct?
9. BARBARIAN’S TAMING by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
As a newcomer to the alien tribe, I’ve struggled to find my place. It might be because I’m a tad headstrong at times. And yes, I might have thrown a few things at people's heads. But I had a good reason to pitch a fit—my shy sister was stolen away right under my nose. Of course, now she’s back and mated. Everyone’s happy... except me. I need... affection. Attention. Okay, I’m lonely. Really lonely.
Strangely enough, the only person that I think understands what I’m going through is the same blue-skinned brute that stole my sister. It’s wrong to hook up with him, even as a mindless fling. Except... I’m not so good with the whole ‘rules’ thing. And he’s not so great with the ‘fling’ thing.
10. BARBARIAN’S HEART by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
I’ve never spent a day without my mate since arriving on the ice planet. I’m happy and in love, and we have a beautiful child together. All that changed when the world shook. My mate nearly died.
He wakes up from his coma… and he can’t remember me. Or our son. Every memory of the past two years is gone. And that changes everything between us. How can I love someone that doesn’t remember me? How can I not, when I know he’s still my mate underneath it all?
11. BARBARIAN’S HOPE by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
Seasons ago, I resonated to the quietest of tribesmates, a male content to love me from afar while I was the center of attention. We could have been happy. Despite our differences, I loved him and he loved me. But then a terrible thing happened… and my world was never the same again.
Now resonance is giving us a second chance, but… I’m afraid. What if what I have with my mate is too broken to be fixed? What if there’s no hope left for us at all?
12. BARBARIAN’S CHOICE by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
I might be the only unmated female in my tribe, but it doesn’t mean I’ve given my heart. I’m waiting. I want resonance, and I won’t settle for anything less. But when an alien ship lands and a handsome stranger steps out, I know he’s the one. His name’s Mardok and he’s fascinatingly different—and distractingly appealing. But Mardok can’t stay on the ice planet, and he says he can take me with him.
Now, I must make a choice. Do I stay and lose my mate forever? Or do I follow him to the stars and leave behind everything I know?
13. BARBARIAN’S REDEMPTION by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
For seasons, I have waited for her—my perfect mate. In a tribe full of happy couples, I am alone. But I am not content to remain this way. There are no eligible unmated females left, so I will do whatever it takes to bring females back to our tribe... even if it means doing something wrong. Even if it means I must purchase my mate on the intergalactic black market. I will do anything to possess her, to claim her as my own. But will my ruthless move turn my female against me before we ever meet? Can she ever forgive a male that bought her freedom?
14. BARBARIAN’S LADY by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
You’d think a tall woman would fit in on a planet of seven-foot-tall aliens, but even on the ice planet, I’m still a weirdo and an oddity. I’m everything all the other cute, dainty human women aren’t. One guy in particular—the alien Harrec—is determined to embarrass me by pretending he’s interested. He’s a jokester that flirts like mad and hits on me constantly just to make me feel foolish. He gets under my skin. He makes me so frustrated I want to scream.
When a side-trip to a glacier turns into a nightmare and the two of us are forced to survive alone, I see another side to the enticing blue alien. Even with no one else around, his compliments keep coming and I start wondering if the attraction between us... is real.
15. BARBARIAN’S RESCUE by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
Bad day? Try mine on for size. Rogue slavers have landed on the ice planet and captured the tribe. The only ones not snatched? Me, a walking human motormouth with no skill except that of incoherent babbling, and Warrek who’s as silent as he is attractive. Two more unlikely people have never been paired together. And now we’re supposed to form a rescue team.
Saving the others is either going to bring us closer together—or drive us completely apart. I’m pretty sure the feelings I’m having for my alien companion are as unrequited as they are inappropriate, but since we aren’t going to make it out alive, what harm is one teeny, tiny kiss? Who knew that one kiss could change everything?
16. BARBARIAN’S TEASE by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
It should have been a one-night stand. I never intended to seduce Taushen, but things happened. I don’t dwell on the past and while it was great, I’m not looking for a relationship. Of course, try telling that to Taushen. The big blue alien’s in love after one night, and it’s making things darn awkward. We’ve got bigger problems than whether or not I'm his woman, like the ‘cargo’ of the spaceship that landed here. But Taushen’s not giving up. He thinks I'm his mate. And he’ll do anything to keep me.
17. BARBARIAN’S BELOVED by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
My tribesmates don’t understand her. The other humans think she’s weak. But no one knows my mate like I do. They don’t see her gentle heart or her brave spirit. I know why she struggles. I know how strong she is. And I know I’ll do anything to make her smile. But can I convince her that she can be happy in this strange new world with me?
17.5. BARBARIAN’S VALENTINE by Ruby Dixon

18. BARBARIAN’S SEDUCTION by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
Marlene’s not like the other humans. They weep while she smiles. They look at us with fear, while she entices me with a come-hither look. I... have no idea why such a bold female resonated to a male like me. I am the most reticent of all the sa-khui tribe, a hunter that never expected to have a family of my own. But resonance chooses, and it has chosen her for me. And Marlene is quite determined to seduce me… and who can say no to such a woman?
19. BARBARIAN’S TREASURE by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
Everyone knows Megan and Cashol hit it off the moment they resonated… didn’t they? But when Josie goes into labor, an off-hand comment makes Megan point out to her friend that no, things weren’t always so smooth. Just because resonance is immediate doesn’t mean it’s immediately perfect. But also… just because it’s an instant bond doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Sometimes it’s very, very right.
20. BARBARIAN’S BRIDE by Ruby Dixon

So how does Nora tell her determined, thoughtful mate that what she wanted wasn’t a wedding… but something a little different in bed?
