Vela

One last job before I go legit. An easy smuggling run, one crate off-planet and then I can leave all my dark secrets behind.

Crash landing was not part of the plan. Neither was being rescued by a monster.

Did I say rescued? Because I think I mean kidnapped. This muscle-bound alien is keeping me captive on his ship. And if he finds out what cargo I'm really carrying? I don't want to know what he'll do to me.

He's super intense, super scary…and super hot. Once you get past the fangs and claws. He says we're mates and he's going to claim me as his own. I'm totally at his mercy — I just hope he has some underneath his scaled exterior….

Humans and aliens are not supposed to mix. If he takes me, I'll be ruined. Tainted. Despoiled. But the more he looks at me with those yellow eyes, the more I think I want to be ruined....

Auvok

Mine. The female is mine. She fell out of the sky in a fiery wreck of twisted metal and now she belongs to me. A gift from the Universe itself: my fated mate.

Even though I've been exiled, I'm still a Virixian warrior — and warriors don't ask. They take. I can't wait to defile her delicate, innocent body.

But first, I have to complete this mission. I can't screw it up. All I have to do is keep my hands off this sassy female so I can focus on the job. Not likely. The desires of a Virixian warrior are voracious. She's not just going to be the death of me, but the death of us all....

This is a standalone book, no cliffhanger, HEA guaranteed!
