He was looking for resources. What he found was his mate. Ship's engineer and all-around fix-it warrior Kyre is focused on one thing: Finding the rare mineral he needs to boost the comms signal so his crew can get the rest of the intel for their mission. But in the desert, he finds so much more. His mate, fiesty and strong. And very, very pissed off. She makes his blood burn, but can he get her to stay still long enough to listen? Ferne has spent her life hiding from the lottery. One slip down a mountainside and a trip to the hospital later, and she's matched, whisked away from she life she loves. There's no way she'll love the alien warrior she's been matched with. Not a chance. Probably not. But why did he have to be sweet and strong and hot, all in one giant horned package? Kyre is the second book of the Warriors of Vaznik, a stand alone series in the Warlord Brides universe. There's no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA for each couple!
