The most feared male on the mining planet just appointed himself my personal shadow. I’m seven weeks pregnant. This is going terrible.

So here’s a fun fact about me—I came to Timbur for a fresh start, a high-paying work contract, and exactly zero complications.
Instead I got morning sickness in a mineshaft.

Surprise! The birth control failed, the loser boyfriend is gone, and I’m starting my new job on an alien mining planet while secretly growing a whole entire human. I haven’t told a soul. I just need to keep my head down, fix their power grid, collect my pay, and not draw attention.

And then Cayzor arrives. They call him Scar. Seven feet of solid muscle, fangs, claws, and a face that makes hardened miners go silent when he passes. There’s a scar carved down the side of his cheek that says he survived something the rest of us couldn’t imagine.

So why is he always… there? Materializing out of the dark every single time my back twinges or my stomach turns, like he can feel it. Watching me with those too-sharp eyes like I’m a puzzle he’s decided to solve.

I’m carrying another man’s baby, dude.
And the sexy, terrifying alien just… does not care. By the time I’m too pregnant to see my own feet, the scariest being on this planet is the one holding my hand. I came here to further my career. I did not come here to fall for a male who looks at me like I’m the first good thing he’s seen in years.

What is up with this guy?

Oh, and one more thing, it turns out I’ve landed in the middle of a years-old murder mystery. Scar’s spent eight years hunting whoever killed his parents, and the trail just went hot the day I arrived. Cool cool cool. Totally normal pregnancy.

I just wanted a paycheck.

Instead I might be the key to ending a war?

The final Fever Brother.
The last secret.
The end of the war that broke their family.
