Mate of the Beast

She had always wanted an adventure in the stars... After years of working for the Alien Immigration Office on Earth, Alyssa has finally been sent on her first assignment in space. But what's supposed to be a nice little peace mission soon turns into a nightmare - one where pirates might abduct her at any moment and she's assigned a lethally scary but oh, so sexy bodyguard! It doesn't help that the body he's supposed to guard always heats up in his presence... He was an abomination... A beast... Tortured and trained to kill since the day he was made... Xarq has had it with bodyguarding jobs. In fact, he wasn't supposed to have them anymore. But one last job gets between him and his future military career, and he gets a tiny Earth female to protect. To top it all off, she is on her first mission in space, and his bodyguarding assignment turns more into a babysitting duty. Just perfect. But somehow, her oddly pleasant scent lures him in and he can't seem to get enough of her... And that's dangerous. He needs to focus on his job. Because that's exactly when the pirates attack... Mate of the Beast is a standalone sci-fi romance with a HEA and no cliffhangers. Intended for mature audiences only.
