Chained: A Monster Romance (Monsters Rule #6)

She was sold into captivity on a prison planet. He was the monster waiting in the dark—and her only protection from everything worse.

Nia trusted the wrong people and paid the price—betrayed, drugged, and dropped into Vakaris, a brutal prison planet where “protective custody” means being handed over to something inhuman. Caged with a towering hybrid warden named Thane, she expects violence. What she doesn’t expect is the hunger in his eyes… or the way her body answers it. Every touch from him is a challenge, a warning, and a temptation. She tells herself she’ll escape, even as she sinks deeper into the furs he offers, into the heat that burns behind his quiet restraint.

Thane was engineered to guard, to dominate, to kill—but nothing prepared him for Nia. She arrives fierce, defiant, and smelling of starbloom and rage, and suddenly obedience to the system isn’t enough. He wants her safe. He wants her claimed. And he’ll kill anyone who tries to take her from him. As her fight becomes his purpose, and his touch becomes the only thing grounding her in the violence of Vakaris, Nia must decide if she can survive her captor… or if she’s already his.
