Taking out the trash was supposed to be boring—not the night Lynn is abducted by aliens and sold at a shadowy interstellarslave bazaar. Caged and terrified, she clings to a childhood lullaby to survive, never expecting rescue to come from a towering, scaled alien warrior with molten eyes and lethal authority.
Divak Solgar is a decorated Star Federation officer, an alpha alien protector sworn to uphold the law. Interfering will cost him his rank—and possibly his future. Saving a human female is a mistake. He makes it anyway. Little did he know he would uncover one of the biggest cover-ups in Federation history while doing it.
Now hunted by smugglers and fugitives of the Federation themselves, Divak escorts Lynn across the galaxy, bound byforced proximity, duty, and a growing, forbidden desire he refuses to claim. Because once he returns her to Earth, he’ll have to let her go.
And neither of them is certain they’ll survive the goodbye.
For readers who crave alien abduction, monster alien romance, alien rescue, forbidden interstellar romance, and sci-fi romance—get ready for a dangerous attraction that could spark an interstellar war. When a human woman is caught between alien politics, corrupt cops, and a ruthless monster hero, survival means trusting the one alien she isn't sure she should fear most.
The worldbuilding is excellent, but grim, and the story is thrilling. Lynn is an admirable character, and Divak is a good match for her. Radme is interesting. There is graphic violence, a body count that isn't all bad guys, and graphic sex. The book does need a thorough editing; there are word choices that are confusing. I enjoyed the story.
