Emma After being separated from the rest of her crew during an enemy attack, Emma is forced to seek shelter with a dark and dangerous stranger. Though her scarred but handsome rescuer promises to return her to her Eden Twelve, something doesn’t seem quite right. She quickly finds herself drawn into a web of lies that run so deep she’ll never find her way back home. She shouldn’t have trusted him and she can’t stay. No matter what, she can’t allow him to talk her into remaining on his ship full of unsavory pirates. Maloc Maloc has been taunted about his half-breed heritage his entire life. The mixing of races resulted in more muscles, pointed ears and large brutal fangs. But his taboo parentage means that no female in the galaxy will ever accept him to mate. It’s a lonely life for someone with a terribly long lifespan. But one day, a small human female bursts into his life. After a single glance, she couldn’t hide the scent of her arousal. She alone wants him and that makes her priceless in his world. Maloc will stop at nothing to keep Emma with him. He’ll kill to protect her and when all else fails, he’ll reorder time to keep her at his side. The problem is, when she finds out his deception, he'll lose everything.
