To most, I’m a gifted singer and a spoiled diva. But in truth, I’m a spy, using my connections and fame to get intel on those who enslaved my home planet of Cintra. But someone knows my true intentions, because the galactic cruise liner I’m on is attacked. I escape, only to crash into the Riloxian king’s ship. He sees past my designer shoes to the steel beneath…and melts it with his smoldering gaze. She is captivating, beautiful, and a liar. The attack has rendered her unable to sing again, but the proud little Cintran will do anything to free her people from those oppressing them. It’s likely to get her killed. As I unravel the truth behind Kina’s true identity, I fall for the strong-willed female. My people prefer neutrality in disputes, but I can deny Kina nothing.*Captured by the Riloxian is a story that first appeared in the Claimed Among the Stars charity anthology which is no longer in print.* This is a novella set in the world of the Stryxian Alien Warrior series and can be read alone with no cliffhangers and no cheating.
