Desired by the Alien MercenaryA Steamy Alien Sci-fi Romance
He was born to be feared. I was trained to kill.
L
I don’t remember who I was before I became a weapon. Jalima forged me into the perfect assassin, and failure earns only one punishment: death. Now I’m stranded on a nightmare world, hunted by the very people I once called allies. There’s only one barrier between me and certain doom: Dravion.
The strange alien doctor should terrify me. He’s brilliant, gentle, and wrapped in deadly tentacles everyone else fears. He insists I’m more than my broken mind, and I hate how badly I want to believe him. Especially when he looks at me like I’m worth saving.
If Jalima wants me back, he’ll have to pry me from the hands of the beast who followed me into hell... and from the ridiculous little creature that somehow adopted us both.
Dravion
Everyone fears the monster I am, except her. She argues with me, threatens me, and somehow steals my heart before she even remembers her own name.
I never leave the safety of the Varakartoom. For her, I walk willingly into a death trap. Anyone who touches her dies. Anyone who touches me will learn why the universe fears my kind.
She thinks she’s beyond redemption. I’ll rewrite every piece of her shattered soul, even if it costs me my own.
