The war destroyed everything she loved, except her will to survive.

Cassy hides deep in the forest, far from the cruel hands of the human men who shattered her world. Scarred, cautious, and fiercely protective of her quiet life, she never expected salvation to fall from the stars.

Literally.

Crashing into her life with silver eyes and a predator's gaze, Vaelion is nothing like the monsters she fears, because he is one. Over seven feet of coral-colored muscle, horns, tattoos, and a tail made for sin. Cold, calculating, and deeply possessive, the alien soldier is obsessed with claiming the soft, curvy human who saved his life.

She wants peace.
He wants to breed her.

As enemies close in and secrets unfold, Cassy must decide: Can she trust this dominant, otherworldly protector with her body... and maybe even her heart?

When rescue comes, it's not the end, it's only the beginning.
