Alien Want

He keeps everyone at arm's length. She trusts no one. When assassins come for her, they'll have to trust each other — or die trying.

Stron has a system: casual arrangements, clean endings, no attachments. It works. When his best friend needs volunteers for a controversial mating program, Stron commits without hesitation. It's just another experiment. Nothing personal.

Then Adryel crashes into his life — literally.

The fiery-haired Terran is running from something. Stron sees it in the way she watches exits, reads every room, trusts absolutely no one. He should walk away. Instead, his armor extends the moment he sees her — the biological signal he can't fake or fight.

This wasn't supposed to be real.

Adryel joined the Galactic Alliance program to disappear. She waitressed at a Rhysgarrds club and heard too much. Saw too much. When she found her roommate dead — moonstone fragment, vetiver and ash — she knew: they were coming for her next.

Now the landing platform has exploded. Assassins are hunting the survivors. And Adryel realizes the Rhysgarrds followed her across the galaxy. They want to silence her permanently.

Stron won't let that happen.

Thrown together in Kantenan's underground market, racing to uncover a conspiracy, they'll have to trust each other. But when the assassin makes his move, Adryel's secrets might be the only thing keeping them both alive.

If the truth doesn't get them killed first.

Alien Want is a sci-fi romance featuring an emotionally-guarded warrior, a street-smart survivor with a deadly past, dual conspiracies, and a mate bond that neither of them saw coming.
