We crashed—I crashed—our ship on a huge alien world. The emergency beacon lay on the other side of the jungle, our only way to call home, and I drew the short straw. But on my journey, I discovered I wasn’t alone… The native was big, midnight black, and fierce. For some reason, he’s determined to keep me alive, safe, and entirely his. Part two of a serial about a human traveler, her alien mate (not that she knows that yet), and an adventure filled with peril. Warning: hot alien, short serial, cliffhanger.
