The galaxy has broken her in a way only I can fix. I had thought my quest was at an end. I waited for death. But it was not to be. She found me. And nursed me back. Her name was Uri Hawk. And I could see her broken smile. Her sad gaze as she touched my scales. I could sense her grief. I determined right then that I would help this deeply traumatized woman. I could do some good. Even if it was just for one person out of trillions in the galaxy. I made her mine. And she made me hers. So when the war came for us, as it does for everyone, we were ready. Our love was our shield. Our hope was our spear. And then I saw. A smile. Flicker over her face as she looked at me. A sparkle in her eyes. And I knew. That the man who had set out to bring peace to the galaxy. Had at last found it in himself. Gorn is the fifth book in the Brides to Beasts series inside of the Athenaverse. It can be read as a standalone, but it still shares the same universe and characters that you've found in other books. This book features a romance of an alpha male alien warrior, and a human woman. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and HEA guaranteed.
