Kiss me, damn it. I want you to kiss me, you grumpy pain in the ass who just saved me from a watery grave. All I need is one clue that I do anything other than irritate you… Nora has found a new life with the D'tali. A purpose. A path. But at the touch of one growly, overprotective alien with a dark past, and she's beginning to question everything. But even as they grow closer, can he truly let her in? Protected by her Alien Mate is the eighth book of the Warriors of the D'Tali science fiction romance series. Each book contains a complete HEA for our couple, and lots of steamy SFR fun! Please note: there's some silliness as our aliens figure out human cursing. If swearing silliness is not your jam, please skip this one :)
