Desert World Allegiances (Desert World #1)

by Lyn Gala

2nd EditionDesert World: Book OneLivre once offered Planetary Alliance miners and workers a small fortune if they helped terraform the mineral rich planet. People flocked to the world, but then a civil war cut the desert planet off from all resources. Half-terraformed and clinging to the edge of existence, Livre devolved into a world where death was accepted as part of life, water resources were scarce and constantly dwindling, and neighbors tried to help each other hold off the inevitable as the desert fought to take back the few terraformed spaces. Temar Gazer claims to be the victim of water theft. His claims could be a simple misdirection intended to help him escape a term of labor after his criminal prank caused irreparable damage to a watering system. However as the only member of the council arguing against a short-term slavery sentence for Temar, Shan Polli can't escape the fear that something darker is happening. The more he investigates Temar's story, the more he finds that his world is not as free of politics or danger as he had assumed. Together, Shan and Temar must get to the bottom of the conspiracy before time runs out for the entire planet.First Edition published by Dreamspinner Press, September 2011.

by Lyn Gala

He doesn't expect to find a kindred spirit in councilman Naite Poli--a man with secrets as dark as Verly's own and bearing the scars to prove it. Both men have done what was necessary to survive--Verly in battle and Naite in defense of his family--and they're haunted by memories that leave them wary of trusting others. As they circle each other, the political maneuvering around them grows more dangerous, with the outer worlds trying to force Livre into one alliance or another. Some still view Verly as a killer and a spy, and they're determined not to let him forget what he's done. Others fear the implications of a military officer sharing the bed of a councilmember. When the rebel alliance moves beyond threats, Verly and Naite must push through the pain of their pasts and stand together to fight for the future of their world.

It's a delicate balance, but they manage... until a disaster takes Shan away from Temar. It's up to Temar to rescue Shan and guide their planet through the crisis safely, and he isn't sure he's ready. Just because he and Shan have chosen each other doesn't mean their love is strong enough to survive when the stirring sands around them change.First Edition published by Dreamspinner Press, January 2012.
