He's an alien dragon shifter hell bent on revenge. Until I'm caught up in his claws. Now all he wants…is me.

Station X42 is a complete dump and I'm stranded on it for what is likely to be the rest of my very short existence. Left here by alien abductors who bit off more than they could chew when they took me, I have to scratch a living with the scum of the galaxy.

When it looks like I might have finally hacked off the wrong species resulting in my early demise, an enormous alien dragon shifter, Drelix, bursts into my life. All seven foot plus of scales, muscles, fangs and claws. Oh, and a tail, can't forget the tail.

Having stolen me away to an uninhabited moon, he proceeds to heal my injuries with his venomous bite, I consent to it, only to find in his world, being bitten by a Sarkarnii means I'm now sort of married to him.

This is not how I imagined my space Tuesday to work out.

I don't want to admit my new alien husband does things to my insides which should be illegal, or that his kisses set me alight in all new ways. After what happened to me when I was taken from Earth, I can't bear the thought of any intimacy.

But Drelix has other ideas, very, very naughty ones too. However, I'm fully prepared to resist him, right up to the point he tells me…

“I eat troublesome females, whole.”

Well, damn. Looks like I'm going to have to up my resistance game, or lose myself to him entirely.
