Resisting the Alien Commander (Brides of the Bohnari #1)

Horek

As Commander of the Bohnari guards, my career is the one thing I care about more than anything. Even more than the mating fever afflicting our males that causes us to slowly descend into madness unless we find mates.

When the crown prince of Bohna negotiates with one of the Earth leaders for willing human brides, I have no interest in one. No matter the risk.

Until one of the females triggers my mating fever to burn out of control, and all I desire is Quinn. Except another male wants her as well. I’ll have to convince her she’s my heart’s fire before the madness consumes me.

Quinn

Born and raised in the bottom tier, I know the upper tier will do anything to keep us down. When the President announces that we’re the only women eligible for the Bohnari bridal lottery, I’m suspicious. Not that I have any interest in becoming a bride and leaving my mother—and only family left—behind.

Except, somehow, my name is called, along with my best friend’s.

Once we arrive on Bohna, I manage to catch the attention of one of the younger guards. Too bad it’s the Commander who sets my blood on fire. When I learn the truth about the mating fever that affects him, I’m not sure I can trust what Horek feels is real.
