Featured authors: Sue Lyndon - Promised To The Alien Tarrz is the biggest, sexiest, and sternest Tar-quan male Lana has ever met - and he happens to be the very stranger to whom she’s been betrothed! He leaned down, until his face was level with hers. “I suggest you keep your opinion on the Earth-Tar-qua trade agreement to yourself, little human, unless you want to endure the strap on your wedding night. If I heard my mate speaking as you just did, I would punish her severely for disrespect. If not for the Tar-quans’ assistance, your dome cities on Earth would have perished long ago.”Taken aback by his great size, she studied him for a moment. God, he was huge and muscular - intimidatingly so. Having glimpsed plenty of Tar-quans before, when they came to visit her dome city, she had not expected to see an alien this large here in the city, and she felt a stab of pity for whichever human woman found herself mated to this male. He was easily more than too heads taller than her, and aside from his size, this particular Tar-quan seemed overly stern.An involuntary tingle raced across her bottom at the thought of enduring a punishment from the no-nonsense male who was glaring down at her. Despite her fear, her face heated and a sudden ache throbbed between her thighs. She quickly lowered her head, hoping he did not notice her blushing.

Selling her can be his only option... The gritty, violent world of Aerthe will crush the life and spirit of anyone not able to fight for their existence with weapons, teeth, and claws. But Blue is from Earth! Having recently escaped from being kept as a blood-slave, being owned is way down at the bottom of Blue’s bucket list.
