Gorgeous alien commanders don’t fall for Earth girls with criminal records. Do they?I’ve got a list of regrets a mile long, starting with the time I went to jail and ending with the fact that not long after I got out, I was abducted by alien smugglers. As if that isn’t bad enough, a split-second decision when their ship crashes nearly costs me my life.And when I wake up after the crash, everything has changed.I’m no longer being held captive by brutal space pirates. Instead, I’ve been rescued by a group of alien warriors called Zivonians. Their leader, Ryven, claims he wants to help me, offering me safe haven on their massive ship.I know how the universe works, though. You never get something for nothing, so there has to be a catch somewhere. Despite the temptation to trust this powerful, handsome warrior, I know I can’t afford to open up my heart.But when I make a mistake and have to face the consequences of my actions, the only one willing to stand up for me… is Ryven.Everyone I knew back on Earth saw me as nothing but the sum total of my screw-ups, but Ryven looks at me differently.He looks at me like someone worth protecting. Someone worth fighting for. Someone worth loving.Will he still feel that way when he finds out about my past?

In the far reaches of space, you have to keep your guard up to survive. But this gorgeous alien warrior is breaking down my defenses.Three years ago, alien raiders abducted me from Earth.I escaped to a remote trading planet, where I’ve scraped by and kept my identity as a human hidden… until one day, I get caught stealing from a mysterious warrior named Rok.Aliens are dangerous and untrustworthy. Or at least, that’s what I’ve always thought. But Rok is different. Despite being furious that I took something from him, he doesn’t hurt me.Instead, he offers to help me.I’m not sure I should trust him—or if I can trust myself around him. Because every time I look into his gold-rimmed eyes, the ice around my heart melts a little. His touch sends licks of fire over my skin, and he gazes at me with such possessive heat that I feel like I’ll combust.But I know better than to put my faith in an alien. And I certainly know better than to fall in love with one.Right?
