Beasts of Desire #1
A Love in Endless Nights
He was never meant to feel. She was never meant to survive. But the universe had other plans.
A dark, addictive sci-fi romance where love is forbidden, and obsession is inevitable.
Luna never felt like she belonged on Earth. Haunted by isolation and a yearning for something more, she wandered through life detached—until the night she was taken.
Abducted by an alien race that views human emotion as weakness, Luna finds herself trapped aboard a cold, unfeeling ship… and at the mercy of Zandar, a ruthless alien commander trained to dissect fear, control minds, and crush vulnerability. He is everything she should fear; calculating, cruel, and utterly inhuman.
But Luna is unlike any subject he’s encountered, and what was meant to be an experiment becomes something else entirely.
Zandar is drawn to her fire, her defiance, her inconvenient humanity. She was supposed to be a weakness. Instead, she becomes an obsession.
As tension simmers and war brews across the stars, Luna and Zandar must choose between the duty that binds them and the desire that could destroy them. Their bond is forbidden. Their love, catastrophic.
But some connections defy biology, culture, even galaxies.
Tropes you'll fall for:
Morally gray alien x fierce human woman
Forced proximity in a sci-fi setting
Captive-to-lovers with dark obsession
Alien coldness meets emotional defiance
Forbidden romance across enemy lines
Touch-starved male who doesn’t understand his own feelings (until her)
A Love in Endless Nights is an intense, emotional descent into alien desire, identity, and the power of forbidden love.
Perfect for fans of dark sci-fi romance, slow-burn tension, and love that rewrites the rules of two worlds.

About the author
Cheyanne Brubaker
9 books29 followersCheyanne (she/they) is a chaos-filled, trope-twisting, smut-loving author of dark romance, monster heat, and emotionally feral fantasy. They write stories where desire gets dangerous, love bites back, and no one escapes untouched (or unmarked).
As an autistic writer of color, storytelling has always been their way of reclaiming space, pleasure, and power—one filthy, soul-crushing, or otherworldly scene at a time.
Their current and forthcoming obsessions include:
The Stormfire Series – Heroes and villains, enemies-to-lovers, and the kind of tension that burns slow, then explodes.
Beasts of Desire – Monsters who shouldn’t love and humans who can’t resist. A series of power, hunger, and ruin.
Deadly Sins – Seven dark romance standalones inspired by the sins you definitely want to commit. Sinful, seductive, and just a little bit unholy.
my voice was always mine – A poetry novel that bleeds truth, tenderness, and rage in every line. Where soft meets sharp.
Cheyanne’s writing is unapologetically bold, pushing the boundaries of genre and delivering stories that are as intense as they are unforgettable.

Wow! This book was so exciting and I really enjoyed the world-building and lore. The romance was full of great enemies-to-lovers tension as well
