Betrayed and sold at auction, Thalia is a long way from home. When she’s given the opportunity to bring those who abducted her to justice, she’s all in. One problem. Her alien partner hates humans, and he really hates her. Too bad for him that she loves to tease the monstrous cross between a devil and an orc. He’s big, dangerous, and hits all her buttons. No problem. She can keep it professional. Right? A disgraced warrior. Havik’s arrogance lost him a mate. Determined to regain his honor and complete this mission, he will not allow the human female to distract him. He can’t trust a liar and a thief. And he definitely shouldn’t be kissing one. This books contains one grumpy alien, a woman who won't lose hope, villains getting their just desserts, an HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhangers. While Havik can be read on it's own, the book is best enjoyed after Jaxar.
