Synopsis
He didn’t abduct her. He selected her. When Kaia Thorne is taken during an alien border raid, she expects imprisonment. Instead, she’s brought before Draevak—the ruthless warlord of the Virex Dominion. He claims she was identified. Compatible. Necessary. To secure his throne, he needs a mate strong enough to survive the bond… and bold enough to stand beside him in a galaxy that devours weakness. Kaia refuses to be a pawn in alien politics. But when the bond ignites between them—hot, undeniable, and impossible to break—she realizes walking away may cost more than surrendering ever could. Then a rival warlord challenges Draevak for the throne. If Draevak loses, Kaia becomes the victor’s prize. And in a world ruled by blood and dominance, mercy does not exist. He says she is not prey. He says she is chosen. But in an empire built on conquest… Being claimed by the warlord might be the most dangerous fate of all. Perfect for readers who love possessive alien heroes, fated mates, forced proximity, and high-stakes sci-fi romance with heat and heart.
