Caught by the Alien Mercenary
Turns out, the most notorious Mercenary Captain in the quadrant takes offense when he finds a human stowed away in his private quarters.
Manyin
Once, I was a renowned archaeologist, then I got abducted. I’m so sick of my life being beyond my control, that when it happens again, I fight back. I escape and hide away on the first ship I can find, hoping to get far away and then plead my case so they can take me back to the human sanctuary.
I witness things I shouldn’t, once I’m in the lair of the ship’s monstrous Captain. This scaly creature draws me, enrages me, covets me, and secretly provides for me. I make him glow, and that makes him mad, but I know what it means, even if he doesn’t.
Asmoded
At first, the human stowaway is a nuisance I do not need when I am on a quest to avenge the death of my unborn son and wife. She makes me want and feel things I refuse to let into my life, my heart, once again.
On a mission to thwart my nemesis, I do not need her as a complication, and yet there she is. Proving herself smart, resilient, and far too brave for her own good. I don’t want her to tear down my walls, I do not want to admit that she is my mate. When danger comes knocking, fate has other ideas.
I find that for this one human, I am willing to break all my rules. I find that I might just be willing to surrender my heart.
This is a standalone novel, and book one in the Monster Mercenary Mates series. This sci-fi monster romance features one grumpy Naga spaceship captain, a plucky human archaeologist, and a steamy HEA.

Book Reviews
I really enjoyed this story about Manyin and Asmoded! This story had some great twists and several other characters that I look forward to getting to know better. I am looking forward to reading the prequel Protected by the Alien Mercenary: A Steamy Sci-fi Monster Romance about Thar’oc and his mate Rikki that we met near the beginning of this book as well as finding out more about Mitnick whenever his story comes out. So far I have loved everything I have read by Robin O'Connor and I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.
I received a free advanced reader copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
