Ophidian rescued Tara from the catastrophe on Earth, except her alien savior was downright terrifying. The massive Anguis general had venomous fangs, razor-sharp spines on his arms and followed her like a predator lurking in the shadows . But O quickly grew on her with his kind gestures and sexy swagger . Before she can confess her feelings—everything between them changes. She should’ve known better. The Anguis mated on instinct—not for love . The insatiable need to mate Tara snuck up on Ophidian like a punch to the gut. It’s his duty to guard the tiny human female, the physician who saved half the known universe—not rut atop her like a mindless beast in heat . Desperate to prevent his hormones from taking over after witnessing how badly humans responded to the aggressive Anguis bonding, he assumes a mission that would take him light-years away. He’ll never hurt Tara, she means too much to him. It will take a trip across the universe and being repeatedly torn apart for them to finally find each other. But nothing will get between Tara and her Big O. Caution – This book has adult content and may have triggers for some.
