I was an artist until someone stole me from my home. Was it my vain sister or weaselly brother, seeking my money, my slimy uncle, or someone else? But I have more important things to worry about than how I found myself in this mess. A new gladiator, a terrifying monster with horns, claws, and a lashing tail has entered the games. He’s just defeated the former champion, and I’m to be his human prize. Publisher’s Note: Gifted to the Gladiator is a standalone sweet and spicy alien romance short story set in the Mate for an Alien Master universe. Formerly published as part of the Monsters in Love anthology as Mastered by the Gladiator, it features an alien minotaur determined to claim his human pet! TW: servitude, abduction, master-pet terms used.
