Alien Commander's Captive
Ashley Hunter - 2016
I would have called the whole thing a complete triumph, if only I had never seen the shadow in the woods... I can’t exactly describe the world I’m stuck in right now. This is some foreign world where my only hope of survival is to fear and follow the commands of the hunky beast that holds me captive. He is just as unnervingly attractive as he’d been; even more so, now that ample light allows me to see all of his features fully. He introduces himself as Commander Zenon in his melodic voice, and I can’t help but wonder how a ruthless, cold-blooded murderer could appear so distractingly sexy. I wonder why he hasn’t killed me yet. He says he belongs to some planet Dionus and now I belong to him. I’m still not sure what he means by that yet I can see amusement and naked lust dancing in his eyes as he gazes down at me. Even if the slightest touch of this arrogant alien makes me whimper, I’m not prepared to go down without a fight. I hate to admit it but a single glimpse of his lustful threats and blatantly savage advances only make me crave his touch even more… Trust me, up until this day, I had no idea how I could experience both pain and pleasure at the same time when I ended up an Alien Commander’s Captive!

When her ship breaks down in deep space, she’s rescued by her most dangerous enemy—a shadower, a bounty hunter who tracks down Shielders. She can’t tell him the truth about her dilemma, or he will turn her in to the Controllers. Shadower Chase McKnight has an agenda more pressing than claiming bounty rewards—vengeance. He doesn’t have time for a homeless waif who ignites emotions he buried long ago. He refuses to allow anything to deter him from his mission, which results in traveling away from Santerra—while the time bomb inside Nessa is ticking down. But she doesn’t dare trust this man who is an enemy of Shielders. Their secrets and agendas don’t prevent the growing attraction between them, even as they fight their individual demons—even as time runs out for Nessa.
