Bound Beyond Stars

Serenity Hughes is a 24 year old Yellowstone National Park ranger---brave, fierce, and endlessly curious. She's more comfortable navigating the deep woods than navigating people, and she prefers the wild's chaos to the mess of emotions. But her quiet life is shattered when she is violently abducted by alien slavers in a flash of violet light that splits the Montana sky.

She awakens imprisoned on a Varkari slaver ship, light-years from Earth and surrounded by strange creatures and brutal captors. In the cell across from hers is Kaelith, a striking, humanoid alien with haunting silver eyes and skin like twilight. Bound in chains and cloaked in mystery, Kaelith is no ordinary prisoner---he's the exiled prince of a fallen galactic empire, betrayed by his own blood and sold to slavers with his powers locked behind psychic restraints.

From the moment their eyes meet, something ancient awakens between them: Suhkai'len, a rare and sacred soul-bond that transcends species and logic. Their connection is immediate, undeniable, and dangerous. As Serenity's presence begins to unravel the shackles around Kaelith's mind, his powers stir---and so do emotions neither of them can control.

Together, the must navigate their captivity, facing brutal slavers, alien politics, and their own growing bond. Serenity's dominant nature clashes and entangles with Kaelith's restrained intensity, creating a magnetic push-pull of control, trust, and vulnerability.

Their escape from the ship is only the beginning.
Crash-landing ona hostile alien planet in another galaxy, Serenity and Kaelith must survive harsh environments, hunted by mercenaries, haunted by Kaelith's political enemies, and drawn deeper into a web of intergalactic war and prophecy. As their connection deepens---emotionally and physically---they uncover that their bond is not only romantic... it may be the key to restoring balance to Kaelith's world.

But soulmates don't come without sacrifice.
And fate always demands a price.
