Wrax is undefeated in the Firosan arena; the king of deathmatches on his home planet. When he comes up against a man with everything to lose, he knows his winning streak will soon come to an end. Is there any way to win against a cheater without a conscience? And how does he explain this to his new bride, teleported all the way from Earth to reluctantly bear his offspring? I trusted my instincts before, and I got burned. Cara is a junior lawyer with a past riddled with wrong decisions and bad luck. A family who leeches off her, friends who take advantage, and an ex who won’t leave her alone. When the opportunity to be matched with a feral warlord presents itself, it’s not the impossibly strong alien who draws her — it’s the thought of a new beginning. Wrax’s time is running out, and only Cara stands a chance to save him … can she see past his gruff demeanor and the backwards Firosan customs long enough to be his salvation? *Note to readers: This book contains scenes of an adult nature, as well as some gladiatorial violence, a beautiful faraway planet populated mostly by growling shirtless warlords, and one sassy AI.* less

"I have taken down more enemies than anyone else I’ve ever met. I was named after the Firosan word for bloodlust. And yet this human in front of me ... she is making me wonder for the first time if that’s enough." Vyken is one of the greatest warriors in the galaxy. No, the universe. Though Vyken was hesitant at first to accept the responsibility of General in the Firosan military, he was sent on his first real mission ... and then the rest is a blank. He doesn't remember a thing... more"I have taken down more enemies than anyone else I’ve ever met. I was named after the Firosan word for bloodlust. And yet this human in front of me ... she is making me wonder for the first time if that’s enough." Vyken is one of the greatest warriors in the galaxy. No, the universe. Though Vyken was hesitant at first to accept the responsibility of General in the Firosan military, he was sent on his first real mission ... and then the rest is a blank. He doesn't remember a thing. But when he returns to his home planet, Paxia, his King wants him to answer for crimes so gruesome he couldn't have even conceived of them. This fearsome, trusted warrior has gone from an honored general to a dangerous fugitive in the space of the blink of an eye. And now Vyken, just like his name suggests, is truly out for blood. When clues lead him to a shapely human female on a planet named Earth, Vyken's life heads in a direction he could never have expected. He expects to find answers, but instead he finds that maybe companionship isn't so bad after all. "Maybe cutting all ties and faking my own death wasn't a great idea after all. Who knew?" Roxie can't handle the idea that she might be promised to a vicious alien warlord. She's a chameleon, can blend in anywhere out of necessity, but space? In the middle of a war? No thank you. So she disappears into the shadows. Because it might not be a great life, but at least it's the one she's chosen. Right? Wrong. Because instantly a scarred, glaring alien fugitive with more muscle than sense snatches her from her planet and whisks her into space. He seems to think she has something to do with some awful faraway crimes. Is he insane? If he's really so dangerous and terrifying, why is she so drawn to him? less
