Just self-published a new book, Stark Pleasure; the Space Magnate's Mistress. Today I received this very good question from a reader:

Hi Cathryn, 

I was visiting your Facebook page and read your post that the romance continues in the next two books of the series. 

Does this mean Kiri and Logan do not conclude in the first book Stark Pleasure?  But the second book is about Taara and Creed?  

I'm just wondering as it can be difficult to wait for a couple's HEA if their complete story is not yet available to read!  The Lodestar series sounds very appealing so I would rather start reading as soon as possible :). 

Thanks, Allison 

Allison,

Thanks so much for asking! If you're wondering, I'm sure other readers are as well.

Here's how the LodeStar series will play out.

For the first time, I am indeed carrying one couple's love story through an entire series, while providing HEAs for other characters in the series. I did not want to leave readers hanging with Logan and Kiri's romance at the end of Book 1,  it's just that there is so much sensual romance & adventure that I had to end the book somewhere!

Stark Pleasure; the Space Magnate's Mistress
Can she survive the perils of the galaxy on her wits … or will she have to use her body?

This is Kiri te Nawa and Logan Stark's story. They come together in a very hot relationship, both grow a lot in character, go through some tough times, come back together in the end of the book, but this is not the end of their story.

Logan Stark is a complex character, and a man who has come up the hard way, become a success in his world. He thus thinks he should not only be in control of his world, but the people whom he loves. He manipulates them like chess pieces, all in their best interests, of course. This will get him in lots of trouble with them!

Book II, Creed of Pleasure; the Space Miner's Concubine
Her mother's people are renowned for courage & sensuality, but can her human side go along when she must seduce a man to survive?

With Kiri at his side, on the newly settled

planet of Frontiera, Logan will attempt to give his youngest brother, Creed what Logan does not think he deserves for himself,  a home & family -- by blackmailing one of Kiri's friends into seducing Creed! Creed DOES get his happy ever after at the end of Book II. You can read more about it here, @ http://www.cathryncade.com > Books > The LodeStar Series.

Book III, Captive of Pleasure, the Space Pirate's Woman. 
With no memory of who she was, can she become the woman who'll captivate a pirate, body and soul?

Logan decides that it's time for his brother Joran, leader of a band of space vigilantes in the wilds of Frontiera, to take a bride. But when Logan steers Joran to the rescue of an heiress kidnapped by slavers and up for sale at a fly-by-night auction site on Frontiera. More adventures, ending happily for Joran and his new love. More trouble for Logan Stark--stubborn man that he is.

Book IV, Stark's Honor, the Space Magnate's Bride ... well, with a title like that, need I say more?  She'll walk away from the only man she's ever loved ... to show him what he has to lose.

Kiri is so angry at Logan Stark that she leaves him to homestead her own claim on Frontiera -- smack dab in the middle of the territory of particularly nasty space pirates and inter-galactic slavers. Stark, of course, comes after her. He'll need his brothers' and the Intergalactic Space Forces, as well the crew commanders of his space ship Orion to rout the baddies. Then, HEA to the max!

Look for characters from my Orion Series, and from my Free Reads returning to take part in the adventure.

So that's the series in a quick look. Hope you'll find it worth your while.
