Though he has come to Earth to track down enemies of the Intergalactic Federation, when Hale encounters a human female living on her own in a wild, dangerous land, he takes it upon himself to rescue her and claim her as his mate. But the beautiful, feisty girl will need to be tamed. Reyna has spent years surviving against all odds in the remote, thickly forested mountains beyond the control of the alien alliance which rules her world, but she stands no chance against Hale's skill and strength. When she runs from him, the huge, handsome warrior catches her easily and then wastes no time in baring her bottom for a painful, humiliating spanking. Hale quickly sets about teaching Reyna what it means to belong to a Cantari Hunter, and over the coming days she is punished thoroughly and shamefully for any disobedience and brought to one shattering climax after another as she is made his in every way. But even if Hale masters Reyna's heart as completely as her body, can his new mate find a place for herself among his people? Publisher's Note: The Hunter's Mate includes spankings and sexual scenes.
