Take Me Away, Alien ReaperScience Fiction Romance

Angelique
Trying to start over in a post-invasion world while running from a controlling ex has landed me alone in the woods. Be an off-grid outdoor school instructor. Meet some kid-friendly dudes. Make some friends. It’ll be fun. Except it has been an absolute disaster.

The pranks and teasing of my nerd self were just the beginning of this coworker bondingpre-season campout from hell. The entire hike up the mountain, I pick up signs of enemy aliens in the woods around camp. No one believes me. But I know we're in trouble.

Since Earth joined the Milky Way Cosmic Guardians, we’ve been targeted by every enemy alien species in the galaxy. They want to trade for our ore, medicines, military supplies, and women. Our enemies want control of everything.

Alien soldiers ambush our campsite through portals. The commotion sends me tumbling down the mountainside. I’m soon lost in the forest without survival gear, running for my life from an alien enemy when I face-plant into the chest of a hulking blue male with an axe burning so hot I can hear the flames shuddering like my heart. His cohort laughs at the one tool I have left. It's more for pleasure than pain, but it's all I could find.

The beastly axe wielder pulls me behind the shield of his rippling body and confronts the enemy with the blinding fire of his blade. He doesn't want to hurt me, but the way his eyes burn into me, I know he wants something else. I watch him fight to protect me and discover a new kind of lust...for an alien three times my size. I must be losing my mind. But I'm open to paying his price if it means he can get me out of here in one piece.

O'xorsin
I'm so tired of fighting battle after battle with no reason to survive other than to put the enemy back in their place. Protecting my kind and our alliance with the other planets is one thing. But my rage grows more uncontrollable the longer I endure this life without a mate to soothe my urges.

The Zevyrlon are a greedy, egocentric species. Centuries of battle with them have taught us their patterns, impulses, and motives. They will always have the advantage of speed and a neural network we can't hack. If we Sha'kanin do not perfectly predict their next moves, we often struggle to catch up. But when we do, we make sure we remind them of the cold, dark place where they belong.

We did not anticipate them returning to Earth so soon after the initial invasion. They captured an entire community of humans, and by our calculations, should have satisfied their lust for a few more years. Word reaches my team, and we're tasked with neutralizing the enemy soldiers and determining why they've returned.

We take the fastest transport to the campsite and step out into utter mayhem. The Zevyrlon have captured all humans except one female, who crashes into me as she flees their weapons' fire. Her body is soft with luscious curves uncommon to Sha'kanin females. But it's the determination in her eyes, the way she fights when she has no weapons, that heats my mating core.

I'm not the only one who has eyes on her. I must rid the planet of the Zevyrlon scum and her devious ex before I can have her all to myself. I'll sacrifice whatever I have to, if it means keeping her by my side, including, but not limited to, my life.

A steamy, fast-paced science fiction romance with action, violence, and cursing.
