A fated mate is a rare gem … one I never thought I’d find. With fifteen males born to a single female, women are my people’s most precious resource, one we’re in dire need of replenishing. And Earth is just the place to do it. Arranged matings are the only way we can survive, and as king I must set an example. But I never thought I’d meet her. One look at Rosa and I know she’s meant to be my queen. She’s nothing like I imagined, and more than I could ever dare wish for. But humans have only just learned that aliens exist, and I would surrender my kingdom before I forced her into a relationship she doesn’t want. Time grows short as ancient enemies close in on my home planet, and if we don’t transport our volunteer mates quickly we will run out of time. I cannot command Rosa to come with us … but I’m more than ready to seduce her into becoming my queen.
