The Captain's Claim

When pirates board her research vessel, Dr. Orla Carter expects the worst. What she doesn't expect is their captain. Seven feet of dark scaled muscle with eyes that see straight through her. A reluctant leader carrying eight hundred Kadrin refugees and nowhere left to take them.

She doesn't expect to care. But the more she learns about who he really is, the harder it becomes to remember she's supposed to be his hostage.

Trapped on a patchwork ship full of families and a suspicious first mate who definitely hates her, Orla has a remain a hostage, or become something more.

The Captain's Claim is a steamy alien romance featuring a grumpy, tentacled king slowly undone by a fearless human woman, found family among the stars, and a love story built in the space between desperation and trust.
