Shadow's Claim: A Fated Mates Sci Fi Alien Romance
Nova Sloane
Wren Castillo doesn't trust anyone, an occupational hazard of spending three years in witness protection.
So when a scarred Valorian with hungry eyes starts showing up everywhere she goes, her instincts scream danger.
Ryx is Shadow Caste, an assassin whose kills number in the hundreds. He was sent to complete a mission. Get in, get intel, get out. No complications. Then he caught her scent.
Now the deadliest killer in the Valorian empire can't think past the need to touch her, protect her, claim her as his own. His mission is compromised. His cover is slipping. And every moment near her makes the hunger worse.
When enemies close in, Ryx will have to choose: complete his mission, or burn everything he is to keep her safe. He's never failed a mission before, but he’s about to fail this one spectacularly.
Touch-starved assassin. Enemies to lovers. One bodyguard who becomes the protected.
