When Karla crash-lands on a remote planet, the last thing she expects to find in her cargo hold is a gorgeous blue-horned red Alien. Unable to leave him behind, she wakes Zayden from stasis and offers him the choice between joining her journey to her brother, who crashed on the far side of a mountain, or discovering the planet on his own. As they navigate the untamed jungle, his skills prove invaluable until his Heat starts, and she finds herself helping him through it in unexpected ways.
Zayden wakes to the sight of a mesmerizing human who stirs instincts he's never felt before. Drawn to Karla, he vows to protect her as they travel through the dangerous wilderness while struggling to control his overwhelming desire to claim her as his Mate during his Heat.
But when they reach her brother, Karla and Zayden must decide: will they escape the planet, or is their connection worth staying for?
Excerpt:
"I have never met a human before," Zayden murmured, closing the distance between us.
Our lips were a hairsbreadth apart, and I was so ready for the kiss that I was almost disappointed when his mouth moved away from mine. His nose nuzzled my neck, and he sniffed me, making goosebumps travel down my arm. As he breathed in my scent, he let out the most guttural groan I've ever heard in my life.
"What are you doing?" I whispered, afraid my voice would break the tension that hung between us.
"Scenting you," Zayden replied.
"Why?"
"To see if you are claimed."
"Claimed?" that word took me out of the trance I was in.
No man, male, Alien, whatever would ever claim me. I was my own person and didn't belong to anyone. I pushed against his rock-hard chest, not moving him an inch. His muscles rippled under my touch and distracted me for a moment. When I raised my blaster again, he finally backed off.
"You can choose if you stay here or join me to the other side of the mountain, but there is not going to be any scenting, claiming or mating between us," I said, my trembling voice betraying my inner turmoil.
He smelled delicious, and his warm body so close to mine did things to me I couldn't put into words, but we didn't have time for this. We were crashed on a planet Gods knows where with Gods knows what kind of creatures roaming the surface. The sooner I was back with Kai and we could get off this rock, the better.
"I do enjoy a challenge," Zayden said with a sly smile.
I pointed a firm finger at him. "No, no challenge."
His smile only grew wider as he leaned forward and licked my outstretched finger. A shiver of delight washed over me as his long, wet, and pointed blue tongue touched my skin.
