I’m a teacher, not a soldier—but I’m the one they send into the desert. Our camp is a fragile alliance of three races and four rival factions, all refugees driven from the underground tunnels we barely escaped. Tensions are high, trust is thin, and everyone knows one wrong move could tear us apart. Then the hybrid children begin reacting to something none of us can see. There are reports of an ancient city somewhere beyond the dunes—one that might protect us—but no one knows where it is... moreI’m a teacher, not a soldier—but I’m the one they send into the desert. Our camp is a fragile alliance of three races and four rival factions, all refugees driven from the underground tunnels we barely escaped. Tensions are high, trust is thin, and everyone knows one wrong move could tear us apart. Then the hybrid children begin reacting to something none of us can see. There are reports of an ancient city somewhere beyond the dunes—one that might protect us—but no one knows where it is. The children do. I’m the only one who understands what they’re sensing well enough to guide us, which makes me indispensable—and a liability. My assigned protector is one of the orc-like Urr’ki. Deadly. Controlled. Unforgiving. Feared for his ruthless efficiency, even as the endless desert unsettles him as much as it threatens us all. Forced to cross hostile terrain together, sharing shelter, watch shifts, and responsibility for two determined children, survival forges a dangerous intimacy. He guards my body. I guard our future. And somewhere between duty and desire, we become something neither of us planned. But the city we’re searching for doesn’t just offer refuge. It judges. It chooses. And once it does, Tajss will never be hidden again. A steamy alien romance featuring a protective warrior, forced proximity, found family, and a hard-won happily ever after. less
