Rupex is the King of a decimated pride and the captain of the Comet Stalker , a starcraft traveling through the Felix Orbus Galaxy on a quest to avoid more loss and heartache.

Could a human surrogate carry his child and reawaken his interest in life? Layla is a scrappy survivor from Sapien-Three, a ravaged planet where most humans sell themselves to the highest bidders in hopes of staying alive. When an unexpected encounter with a towering, savage-looking lion-man shows her a better way, she jumps at the opportunity. Layla knows that being his surrogate could set her up for a comfortable life where she’ll never struggle again. She just has to get the proud, stubborn King to see her as an equal and accept her proposal! From Possessed by the Leonid King “Surrogacy is not an option.

Layla shook her head, jaw popping open as his massive frame covered hers. She was able to see ridge after ridge of muscle through the snug material of his uniform coat, and the muscles of his thighs stood out like ropes.
