I’ve been hiding my true self all my life. Now my stern alien Daddy demands all I have to give – and more. Bored with my life, I needed a challenge. On a whim I signed up for the Centauri Brides program. I’m smart. So smart it turns people off. I learned a long time ago to pretend I’m an airhead. People aren’t threatened by a cheerful gum-chewing blonde who’s always cracking jokes. It worked for me before. But my new mate wasn’t amused. A retired general, he treated me like a new recruit he was trying to whip into shape. Or in my case, spank. I was being sarcastic the first time I called him Daddy. But now it feels right. Daxxux is older than I am but he’s really hot with a great bod. He’s protective and loving and he cares more about me than any of the guys back on Earth ever did. I never knew being dominated would turn me on. My new Daddy insists that I follow his rules to keep me safe. If I don’t, he gives me that stern look, orders me across his lap – and I just melt. Centauri Brides is a new series, a spinoff from the popular Centauri Captives. Each book is a standalone featuring masterful alien warriors and the strong, smart Earth women who love them. And who have the skills it takes to build a brand new world. As always, USA Today Bestselling Authors Kallista Dane and Kate Richards promise an HEA in every story.
