CONNIE

I have a purple stalker.

I don’t know what possessed me to hit the Xarc’n warrior with my bat, but now I have a stalker—a big purple stalker with fangs and horns. And to make things worse, I can’t go back to New Franklin.

After my first night out on my own, I wake up all wrapped up and cuddly with a certain possessive hunter. He purrs like a giant cat and vows to protect me. And to top it all off, he has a pet squirrel. A freakin’ pet squirrel!

The “Jerk” claims he can’t let go of me, but I don’t buy it. I’m no squirrel, and I don’t intend to be his pet. Not even when he claims I belong with him and promises to protect me forever.

JORG’K

Killing the scourge is my calling, and I revel in every violent encounter. Hunters are created with strong instincts to protect, but mine never fully manifested. I just wanted to fight. I never understood why some hunters wanted anything more. Until now.

I can’t get the little human out of my head. She attacks me with her wooden club, and I realize she’s all I ever wanted.

My brave female watches me as I fight the deadly scourge, so I give her a show of my strength and skills. I will convince her to be my mate. I have to. The mating bond has chosen, and it is never wrong!

Lynnea Lee

Lynnea Lee writes the kind of stories that pull readers out of the ordinary and drop them into the arms of alien warriors, mercenaries, and mates destined across the stars. Known for her fast-growing catalog of steamy science fiction romance, she blends heart, heat, and heroism in ways that keep fans coming back for more. Her worlds are alive with energy and emotion, where survival and desire often collide, and every love story feels both otherworldly and real.

Since the release of her first book, A Deal for Zeylum, Lynnea’s name has become a familiar one among readers who crave a mix of adventure and passion. Her popular series such as Tallean Mercenaries, Xarc’n Warriors, and Kadrixan Mates are filled with fierce heroines, growly alpha males, and high-stakes missions that test the limits of loyalty and trust. Each book carries her trademark balance of intensity and warmth, reminding readers that even in galaxies far from Earth, love still finds a way.

Away from the page, Lynnea’s life feels just as full of character. She describes herself as a “recovered serial monogamist,” happily settled in her forever home with the man of her dreams. She has a habit of chatting with her plants, doing her makeup even when no one will see it, and giving her dog slightly too many hugs. These glimpses of her daily life show the same mix of humor and heart that runs through her writing, a love for beauty, connection, and a touch of the unexpected.

Lynnea Lee may not chase awards or publicity, but her work speaks for itself through devoted readers and expanding universes. For anyone who enjoys alien romances that are equal parts action and emotion, her stories promise a journey filled with danger, tenderness, and the thrill of falling in love among the stars.

Lynnea Lee also writes steamy paranormal romance under her Maggie Mayhem pen name

I really enjoyed reading about Connie, Jorg’k, and Tooth the squirrel in this book. This series has so many great characters and this book even had a few side characters have a chance to get a small background story. I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.
