Galactic warlord, born to rule and conquer. Now he wants the president’s daughter. “Oltu’s a sadistic son of a bitch. You should—” Stay away. Gabrielle guessed the unspoken words, heeded the warning, until the shapeshifting First Lord of the Qui swooped in and rescued her from enemy territory. Running is not only dangerous, it’s provocative. Oltu wants her, craves her, and his seductive pheromones are near impossible to resist. He also desires her submission. No way. Skal. Save her, seduce, ravish, master—whatever works to quench his lust for this human female. Oltu’s mission had clarity until the moment he learns Gabrielle cannot enjoy intimacy without control. Now he has a problem. His ferocious mating instinct inspires a need to protect and the president’s daughter arouses savage lust and noble instincts in equal measure. To win Gabrielle's heart, he needs a new strategy. One major obstacle; she despises everything he stands for. This sexy romance is the eighth story in the Qui Treaty Collection inspired by Under By Treaty. Each alien shapeshifter romance is a standalone story set in the Qui galactic empire, with annihilation of mankind held at bay through the Treaty consummated between the Qui Empress and the human consort abducted under its terms. Although Atone By Treaty can be enjoyed as a standalone romance, the story is set within this wider saga.

6 Obsession By Treaty
