The Liar Charms by Lorain O'Neil

SPFBO9

Remy’s just graduated college and... been kidnapped! Sent to auction. And she doesn’t have the vaguest idea why. But intractable businessman Isaiah Grommet knows why, knows what he’s purchased, knows what Remy was bred for, knows what she is: a Liar Charm. Remy and her newfound little genetic talent will be invaluable to Isaiah’s billionaire empire ―voluntary or not. Awakening in a locked room in New York City with other bewildered young women, Remy is thunderstruck when informed by Isaiah what her new future is: after the requisite training from Pakken, Inc., Remy will be working for him. Or, she can face the wrath (not to mention the executioner!) of Pakken itself, an old and powerful company of very patriarchal men siring very special daughters for very special remuneration they are not about to give up. But one Pakken father has had enough ―and he’s secretly doing something about it. Another one is too but in a decidedly lethal direction. And Remy? Remy has a whopping big secret herself, one Pakken sure hasn’t bargained for. ’Cause when it comes to enslaved servitude, hipster Remy has some pretty intractable ideas of her own, creatively inventive ones if you want to be charitable, brain-bleached hilarious ones if you want to be accurate. So if Remy can just turn her “screw yous” into “yessirs” instead of launching her barmiest blast of fake-the-funk evah, she might not only stay alive but land the whole Pakken lot of ’em smack in the Hudson! Unfortunately Remy has never managed a “yessir” in her life.

Alien Advantage by Lorain O'Neil

SPSFC 2022

COMFORTABLE. SAFE. ORDERLY.

That’s what Mark Hemmings happily thinks of his law student life until one balmy Florida night he foolishly runs out to gawk up at that light in the sky. Zap! Mark is kidnapped by space aliens. 

When the aliens’ experiment on Mark teaches him a little too much, Mark is able to accidentally steal an alien ship and plunge back to Earth, only to land smack into the clutches of General Peerless and Dr. Montgomery, the warring co-directors of Little Island. Little Island, the U.S. government’s secret facility where the government “collects” abducted returnees. Being the only person who can ―sort of― fly the spacecraft makes Mark just what the government is looking for, but an imprisoned life on Little Island isn’t exactly what Mark had in mind. Not that Mark’s feelings matter, because no one has ever escaped Little Island. But no one before’s ever arrived with his very own spaceship!

In his fight for free will, Mark, the Doctor, and the General, battle each other to triumph, the Doctor by clever manipulation, the General by crushing force, and Mark by his cunning, wits... and spaceship! A humorous story of chase and determination, and above all else, refusing to forget who you really are, despite the craftiest of temptations. Bonus chapters from some of the author’s other books are included.
