Earth's future hangs by a thread...Captain Brooke Harris has earned her stripes and busted her butt to make one thing a new home beyond a dying planet. Her mission to Sanos is a desperate gamble, but if she can secure asylum from one of its ruling species it will mean her sisters aren't doomed to a destiny of dehydration and death. And by all that is holy, Brooke won’t leave Sanos until she has an agreement in hand and her sisters' life secured. Alien Merking Zetron Kallithar has little interest in the pleas of these Earth "hoomans." Sanos has enough problems without adding another land-based species to the mix. All he needs to do is make it through a short meeting and let the odd alien go without a treaty in hand. Then he meets the delectable, dark-skinned goddess that calls herself Captain. Any worries about the treaty dissolve as one thing becomes Zetron will take her, and he will make her his. This spicy sci-fi romance is part of the Abducted by the Ruthless Planet Sanos series and can be read as a standalone. It features a possessive alien merking with a wicked tail, a strong heroine who won't take "no" for an answer, and a timeless love that the planet has never seen before.
