I've always felt a little bit...off. Out of step with everyone else. All I wanted was to find my place in life. That's how I found myself in the middle of the desert, guns blazing. And that's when he found me. Now I'm billions of miles from home with a scary space-lizard who doesn't take no for an answer. What's worse is, I don't want to say no.

We fight our basest instincts. He doesn't want to be tied to a "fragile ape" and I don't want to be tied to an arrogant lizard. But when we crash land into trouble, can we keep our hands off each other long enough to break the ties that bind us?

Why does being returned to Earth feel like a punishment, not a rescue? Bombshells are dropping left and right and I'm left staring up at the stars, wishing I could see him again.

Goodreads Librarian Note: This book is the sequel to 'Alpha Alien: Complete Series (Alpha Alien, #1-3)'. If you are searching for 'Taken by Space Pirates (Bound to the Alien, #2)' this is the same book. This story is a sequel to 'Alpha Alien' and as it has no other series name on the cover, it has been listed with that series. He rescued me. Now he owns me. The lifemate bond. An unbreakable, sometimes unwanted, always dangerous link between two people. I watched my father go insane, and my mother broken because of their bond. I swore no matter what, I’d never let that happen to me. I promised I’d fight it until every shred of my being was used up. But I’d never really felt what it was like to have the bond burning in my chest. And once I did? All those promises were a lot harder to keep. When a vengeful pirate pulled me from my escape pod, I felt the bond flare to life. With a single touch, he enslaved me, and with a single glance, he stole my heart...no matter how I fought. Will this man let me keep my sanity and my life? Or will he use the bond to break me into a million pieces? I can’t say no to his kisses, his whispers... but will I be able to survive HIM?
