Deana thinks his reasoning is ridiculous, and she knows he's making an error of cosmic proportions. But his touch is electric, and Deana starts to wonder if maybe their passion isn't written in the stars?

"Few books are so well known and so widely discussed that their initials are enough to identify them. Indeed, GWTW is one of the few I can think of. Well, in the romance sector of cyberspace, there is another such book. When someone sees KOATS, she knows that these five letters refer to Dara Joy's remarkable first novel, the futuristic romance, Knight of a Trillion Stars ... Lorgin is often cited as being the perfect romance hero of the alpha type." - Jean Mason, TheRomanceReader. com "Thank you Ms. Joy for a beautiful story. I didn't put it down until I had finished reading it." - Tanya P. "I wish there was an endless supply of stories like this one." - Anny "You will not be able to put this book down as Dara Joy introduces you to a world and characters, you cannot help but fall in love with." - Briarrose "Dara Joy can take you from desperation to the peak of happiness...

The articles are written by scholars, librarians, and industry professionals with a deep knowledge of the genre and so provide a thorough understanding of the subject. An index provides easy access to information within the entries, and bibliographies at the end of each entry, a general bibliography, and a suggested romance reading list allow for further study of the genre.

Some ten thousand years ago, Earth was visited by beings from another planet in the Barnard’s Star system. The Babylonians recorded that beings they called the Oannes were amphibious creatures who came to Earth for the welfare of the human race. The historian Hellandus describes them as having fishlike features but the head, feet, and arms of a man. They instructed humans in everything a civilized nation should know. They built a city beneath Antarctica near the Davis Sea and have lived there peacefully and secretly ever since. But now a rogue Dwarf Star called Zarama threatens the very existence of both Earth and the home planet, Nazmos. Their mythology predicts that a being from another planet will avert disaster. Enter Ashley Bonner into this scenario. He has been granted special gifts, and the Oannes think he may be the predicted one. Can Ashley really prevail against a star a third more massive than the sun? This is the story of Ashley’s development to manhood from age four to seventy and his ultimate sacrifice to save both worlds. —C. J. Harvey

And he was feral at heart. With his glittering green and gold eyes, silken hair, and purring voice, the stunning captive chained to the wall was exactly what Jenise needed. And he was hers to take... Or so she believed. But she had never heard how dangerous it was to lie down with the cat. Multi-award winner!
