Warlord's Property
Athena Storm - 2019
Then I saw her. So I conquered both. The Kraaj have no mercy. We kill all in our way. If the humans stood up to us with anything resembling a backbone, we’d mow them down instead of pen them in cages. One woman does. Her name is Janna and she’s a pretty little thing. She tries to stand up for her kind, and so I just take her for myself. I’ll claim her. Train her. Turn her into my property. But she’s feisty and filled with fire. If I succeed, this human woman will be a perfect companion and weapon. If I fail, her fire will end up burning me alive. Warlord’s Property explores a grittier side of the Athenaverse. It sits in the Conquered Mates series and is a dark romance set on a human planet of Luvon that has fallen to a hostile alien race. It can be read as a standalone, but it still shares the same universe that you’ve found in other books. This book features a dark romance of an alpha male alien warrior, and a human woman. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and HEA guaranteed.

She is strong and fearless, begrudgingly earning his admiration. Terri is hardened by a life of hunger and watchfulness, and yet is moved by a compassion that he’s never possessed. When his admiration turns into the first signs of a forming mate-bond, he knows his fate is sealed. Unlicensed mating is forbidden—if his malfunctioning wasn’t already a death sentencing, taking her for her mate would be. Yet, he finds that letting her go is no longer an option. Please be advised that this book has graphic sex and violence that may not be appropriate for all audiences.
