Duologie complète.La Caresse du Serpent, Partie 1:Mystérieuse et tragique, la ménagerie de Madame Tan est la seule maison que j'ai connue de toute mon existence. C'est un lieu où deux mondes se rejoignent, une zone crépusculaire entre la Terre et le royaume magique de Nérifir.La ménagerie est pleine d'animaux fantastiques, mais j'ai découvert que Madame capturait et exposait aussi des êtres conscients, sensibles, intelligents.L'un d'entre eux est enfermé jour et nuit dans une caisse, loin des regards, et j'ai découvert pourquoi : le voir peut vous tuer. Parler à Kyllen était même totalement interdit, mais j'ai enfreint cette loi de la ménagerie. J'ai transgressé beaucoup de règles pour lui.Il veut retrouver sa liberté et m'offre une chance d'échapper aux cruautés de Madame, en partant avec lui.Mais avec Kyllen, mon c¿ur est encore plus en danger que ma vie.Puis-je aimer un homme que je ne peux même pas regarder ?_______________La Conquête du Serpent, Partie 2:À Nérifir, la vie est belle, magique et dangereuse.

Je veux un véritable foyer, un endroit où appartenir. Et je suis prête à me battre pour cela, même si cela signifie prendre le contrôle du royaume.____________________________La Caresse du Serpent est un roman de fantasy avec une histoire d'amour entre un homme et une femme.

Des extraterrestres sont venus sur Terre pour kidnapper nos femmes, mais ça a échoué. Maintenant, ils les renvoient, et je suis chargée de ramener les femmes de l'orbite.Depuis que j'ai posé les yeux sur le commandant du vaisseau extraterrestre, j'ai eu le béguin pour lui. Qui peut m'en vouloir ? Il est grand et magnifique, avec une peau couleur nuit. Il a une voix qui ronronne ou rugit selon les cas, et sept longues queues qu'il sait parfaitement bien utiliser.Je sais que je ne peux pas l'avoir. Je ne lui ai même jamais parlé. Mais lorsqu'un incident provoque l'évanouissement du commandant, je n'ai d'autre choix que de l'emmener dans ma cabane de chasse isolée. Au lieu de coopérer, le commandant pense qu'il a été enlevé.Maintenant, j'ai un extraterrestre énervé en liberté dans la nature canadienne qui porte mon Snuggie.Je dois le retrouver sinon je risque de perdre mon job et de déclencher un conflit interplanétaire... entre autres.Ce que je ne sais pas, c'est que le retrouver sera au prix de mon c¿ur._______________________Tous les livres de la série Un Alien pour les fêtes sont indépendants, vaguement connectés par le même monde et le fait que tous les héros ont une queue.Les livres de cette série peuvent être lus dans n'importe quel ordre.

Mon mari a des cornes, des sabots, de la fourrure et une queue.Son allure de Krampus, mi-bouc mi-démon, ne m'empêcha pas de l'épouser. Plutôt optimiste, j'avais accepté avec enthousiasme d'être la première mariée embarquée pour Voran, un territoire de la planète Neron tout récemment découverte, dans le cadre du nouveau programme de liaison. Le Colonel avait également deux petits garçons - un point très positif pour moi, qui adorais les enfants.Ma s¿ur, très terre-à-terre, disait que j'avais la tête dans les nuages. Et peut-être que j'espérais, naïvement, une histoire d'amour extragalactique.Ce à quoi je ne m'attendais pas, en revanche, c'était à une brute extra-terrestre. Ce Colonel renfrogné, grognon, très brut de décoffrage , s'était avéré difficile à vivre et impossible à aimer. Il était également très fier et possessif et bien décidé à me garder comme épouse.Est-ce que j'ai mentionné qu'il avait de grosses cornes ? Il était aussi très porté sur la chose... Et nos attentes vis-à-vis du mariage n'étaient pas vraiment les mêmes.Il y avait pourtant quelque chose, derrière la mine renfrognée de cet homme exaspérant, qui m'intriguait.Son corps robuste et couvert de fourrure me donnait des envies folles qui me ravageaient le ventre.J'étais venue à Voran dans l'espoir de trouver ma place dans la culture et le c¿ur du Colonel.Y avait-il un moyen de faire marcher ce truc entre nous ?_______________________Tous les livres de la collection Un Alien pour les fêtes sont des ¿uvres distinctes les unes des autres, mais elles se déroulent dans le même univers.Cette collection peut être lue dans n'importe quel ordre.

Dans leur mariage de convenance, je deviens l'inconvénient majeur. Le capitaine Xavran Rax, de la planète Aldrai, n'a besoin ni d'une maîtresse, ni d'une amie, ni même d'une compagne. Il a gardé le secret concernant la mort de sa femme pendant plus de dix ans, et il n'est clairement pas intéressé à la remplacer de sitôt.La seule raison pour laquelle il décide de faire entrer une femme dans son foyer est parce qu'il pense que ça profitera à ses quatre enfants, en particulier à ses deux filles.Mara Takolsky ne trouve pas les Aldraiens attirants, pas même un tout petit peu. Elle n'est pas fan des enfants non plus, quelle que soit leur espèce.Elle accepte la proposition du capitaine Rax uniquement parce que son fiancé décédé devait beaucoup d'argent aux criminels qui souhaitent maintenant le récupérer à tout prix, même s'il faut la tuer. Quitter la Terre est sa seule chance de rester en vie.Vous vous demandez peut-être quel est le rapport entre le mariage de convenance du capitaine et de Mara, et moi ? La réponse est : aucun. Je suis Susanna, la s¿ur jumelle de Mara. Un homme m'a aussi trahie, et je suis partie sur Aldrai afin d'échapper à la mafia qui menace de nous tuer toutes les deux, Mara et moi.Lorsque ma s¿ur et moi arrivons sur Aldrai, les choses ne se passent pas comme prévu...

Lors d'une mission sur la planète Tragul, j'ai le malheur de me retrouver coincée avec le lieutenant Agan Drankai, le connard le plus arrogant de toute l'armée extraterrestre du territoire Ravie. Je lui sauve la vie pendant le combat.

Un scientifique véreux effectue une expérience illégale sur Agan, ce qui permet enfin au lieutenant prétentieux de recevoir la monnaie de sa pièce.Ce dur à cuire n'est désormais pas plus grand que ma main.Si avant, il pensait qu'il détestait se battre côte à côte avec une femme. Eh bien, maintenant, il doit littéralement être ramené à sa base militaire par l'une d'entre elles !Et le moyen le plus sûr pour moi de le faire est de le planquer dans mon soutien-gorge.Malgré sa petite taille, l'ego d'Agan est plus gros que jamais, mais sa confiance, son courage et sa loyauté le sont aussi. Plus j'apprends à le connaître, plus j'apprécie son petit moi .À quel point la taille compte-t-elle vraiment ? Et, finalement, est-ce que ça importe vraiment ?________________________Tous les livres de la collection Un Alien pour les fêtes sont des ¿uvres distinctes les unes des autres, mais elles se déroulent dans le même univers.Cette collection peut être lue dans n'importe quel ordre.Ce livre est destiné à un public adulte.
