The grumpy blue alien doesn't understand a word I say. So why do I find it so hard to resist him and his wicked tail?

CARA: I went to space looking for adventure, my job to protect the other women of the expedition. When gray aliens wake me from cryo in the middle of a market, it turns out I'm what's on sale. This sure isn't the fun I dreamed of!

A blue alien with horns and a tail leaps to my rescue. We escape into the jungle, zipping through the trees on a hoverspeeder. This is more like it!

Gravin's as gorgeous as he is grumpy. I hope I'm not imagining the heat in his eyes, but how can I be sure when his growls are in an unknown language?

GRAVIN: Banished from my home world because I didn't have a fated mate, I never expect to find her on an auction block. I fight for her. Steal her. I don't care that she's not Zaarn. Car-Raa is sunshine and strength and the most beautiful thing in the universe.

The mating pull burns hot in me, demanding I give her my mating vow. But we need special translation tech. We dive into a heist, attempting to con the same mobsters I stole her from. When danger threatens, I'll risk everything to save her. And to claim her as mine.
