About the Book

He was built to conquer galaxies, but one look at her brought the warlord to his knees.

Chief Engineer Elara Vance is used to fixing things, but there is no patching the betrayal of her own crew. Left behind on a collapsing orbital station to manually manage the dying reactor, her fate is sealed. She expects to go down fighting the irradiated heat and vacuum of space. She didn't expect her sanctuary to be breached by a seven-foot-tall, obsidian-scaled alien warlord whose very presence rewrites the laws of physics.

Kael'dran is a Xylarion Warlord, an engineered living weapon with no future, birthed from a sterile, dying genome. His mission: secure the human power core and leave no survivors. But the moment he catches Elara's scent, dormant bioluminescent ridges ignite along his spine. The mating trigger. She is his compatible mate, his Creator, and suddenly the hollow warlord is consumed by an agonizing feral need to protect the fragile human mechanic at all costs. Forced proximity, explosive chemistry.

Fated mates, touch-her-and-die, alien warrior sci-fi romance with explosive action, deep emotional healing, open door heat.
