If Royal Admiral Zenir thinks I’m going to be his maid, he’s got another thing coming… He discovered me and two children stowing away on his ship. Now instead of being killed, I’m supposed to wait on this muscled up alien warrior as he provides food and shelter to me and the two kids? Yeah, okay, things could be worse, I suppose. I’m not going to let him claim me. Not without a fight! He can say I’m his fated mate all he wants. I’m not falling for his panty-dropping dimples. Forget his royal alien bedroom eyes and his big, buff arms. I may be his maid. But he’s not the boss of me. And no, I don’t want him to be. I don’t. Really! So why do I feel so happy when he and I and the children are all together? Why does it feel more like home than anything else I’ve ever felt? But mostly… Why does it feel like we’re a real family?

There is no way in the galaxy Prince Elvion will force me into servitude. Yes, I did take a job to be his little sister’s Royal Nanny. But serving him wasn't on the agenda. But what else can you expect from a warrior prince? This is the kind of guy who pulls out his blaster when he hears a baby cry. Not the kind that takes no for an answer. Except that’s what he’s gonna get. Yes, he’s fabulously wealthy. And I am very broke. But I have some dignity! I’m not giving into the urges he brings out when I see him shirtless. Or indulge my daydreams when he says we’re fated mates. And I sure as hell am not entertaining the racing heart when he gets so close to me that I can smell his scent. No! We are not meant to be together. This is a job. That’s all. So why can’t I stop thinking about him? Why does a part of me not just want to serve him… But love him with all my heart?

No way in hell am I letting Telkar draft me into servitude! Imagine this grown ass soldier begging his two nephews to behave. Other enemies he could just easily decapitate. But that’s not possible when your adversary is a thumb sucking toddler. So Telkar’s solution? Find a human female and make her take care of them. That human happens to be me. Sure, I love children. And okay, yes, this alien commander is something else entirely. His ripped muscles and tight torso leave very little to the imagination as to what he looks like when he takes off his armor. But no. You don’t just pluck me off the street. Even if you run the planet. You certainly don’t say I’m your fated mate and it all gets better. I am not going to serve him and his children with a smile. We are not going to live happily ever after. We are not soulmates. And no way do we belong together.… Then why I can’t stop thinking that we are? It wasn't fate that made me just a maid to this alien warrior. But also his… Fated Mate.

I’ll do anything to save my kids. I’ll even be his servant. In any other situation, I’d give this gorgeous warlord a piece of my mind. Who does he think he is that I’d fall for that handsome face, those ripped abs, and lick-worthy muscles? Yes, this warlord is the only thing protecting me and my two little kids from the tyrant looking to kill us. And sure, ever since we crash landed in his kingdom, he’s taken care of us. Protected us. Looked after the kids and kept us safe. If that means serving him, so be it. I’ll do anything he wants, as long as he continues to protect us. But to then say that I’m his fated mate? And that he loves me? Please. I may be a servant, but I don’t have to like it THAT much. I am for sure going to find a way out of having to rely on him. We are so not going to be a family I keep reminding myself. But then...why is it that when he’s around, I’m not thinking of myself as his nanny. Or his servant. But rather as his… Wife.
