Owned By The Alien


Zena Zion - 2016
    And this only makes Thren wonder how this struggle translates on the bed… Bethany Coulter is a young scientist who has just accepted the once-in-a-lifetime position working at the world renowned Margwall Space Exploratory Operation. Determined to please her eccentric boss, Beth agrees to spearhead a research mission on a strange and isolated planet. From the start, the mission quickly turns out to be much different than she expected. Not only are the ‘primitive’ humanoid creatures that she was prepared to encounter super intelligent, but one, in particular, happens to be undeniably attractive. Thren, the future commander of the entire Asreen population, cannot resist the fact that Beth has presented herself as his ideal mate. All of his years of searching are quickly swept aside at the moment he lays eyes on her. Determined to have her as his mate, a heated battle of wills takes place between the strong, dominant alien and the vibrant, but stubborn human. When questions start to rise about the true purpose of her mission, can Bethany discover the truth without putting herself or her friends in danger? Or will she be forced to confront that fact that perhaps Earth isn’t as perfect as she had been led to believe? And most importantly... What will happen when a seemingly feeble yet stubborn human female is owned by a devastatingly sexy alien warrior?
