This is best read after Zolan Book 3 (The King) *** I'm the descendant of Queen Dee and King Vadnar. My family and I have lived our whole lives on an isolated island. After years of staring at the horizon, I decide to leave. My curiosity leads me to a military camp, where I'm forced to enlist as an Entertainer. I try to lay low. But with The Captain's dark, hungry gaze following me, trouble is bound to find me.

It's hard enough being the only human on this alien planet with no memory of how I got here. I have no business being imprisoned by a military Captain. But here I am, handcuffed for weeks to a brooding, powerful warrior that's convinced I'm a spy. I've been a servant at the Captain's camp for months-cooking, cleaning, and living peacefully. When his tent catches fire, and I'm accused of spying, I'm taken as his prisoner. I don't know how I'll survive eating, bathing, and sharing a bed with the intense man for weeks. If the war raging across the planet doesn't kill me, the building tension between the Captain and me will do the trick. *This is a sample.

But when my rebellious sister enlists, I go on a wild chase that lands me in the brawny arms of an unyielding dragon who sets me on fire without breathing a single flame. I'm stuck on an alien planet with this relentless man. He has so much wealth, status, and muscle that little can be denied, but the greedy dragon wants more: me.

In Silas Windsor's world, loyalty is everything-and betrayal is paid in blood. As the ruthless leader of an underground assassination syndicate, he doesn't hesitate when he finds Giadhya Merrani standing over his brother's body. To Silas, it is simple. She was there. Atlas is dead. She's the reason. So, he takes her. He chains her to his world, more aptly, his bed. She swears she's innocent-but he doesn't care. Not when grief demands revenge. Their hatred is violent. Their chemistry is worse. Arguments turn savage. Touch becomes punishment. And soon, Silas's rage gives way to something far more dangerous-desire. She was never meant to survive him. Now he can't live without her.
