When she’d left the gym to head home for a quiet night, the last thing she’d expected was to be abducted by aliens to then be thrown into a fight for life and survival aboard an alien slave ship.Now that chapter is over and there’s another obstacle in her way—surviving on a desert planet where everything lives to kill…all the while dealing with him…Yce.The alien she’s stuck with.He’s otherworldly, strange, and absolutely confusing.She hates him and the feeling seems to be mutual.Problem is, they are stuck in each other’s company until they reach the outpost to send a message for help.Aliens are the reason she’s in this predicament and Yce is probably no better than her captors…Except he is...he is very different...and that's something not even hate can ignore.

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?
