Alien Want

He keeps everyone at arm’s length. She trusts no one. When her past catches up, they’ll have to trust each other — or die.
Stron has a system: no attachments, clean endings. When his best friend needs volunteers for a mating program, it’s just another experiment. Nothing personal.

Then Adryel arrives — and his armor extends on sight.
She’s running from the Rhysgarrds, a criminal organization that wants her dead. She waitressed at their club. Heard too much. Saw too much. When her roommate turned up murdered, Adryel fled across the galaxy.
Now someone’s blown up the landing platform. Assassins are hunting survivors. And Adryel realizes they followed her to Kantenan.
Racing through the underground to uncover the conspiracy, Stron and Adryel will have to trust each other. But when the killer makes his move, her secrets might destroy them both.

A guarded warrior. A survivor with a deadly past. And a mate bond that changes everything.
