SPECIAL EDITION
A human pet, a rising alien officer, and a love dangerous enough to topple worlds.
Mac never expected to lose his heart to the alien who stole his freedom. Once an overlooked young man from Earth, he has become the fiercely protected—and fiercely adored—pet of navigator Narith. What began as captivity has transformed into a devotion Mac can’t imagine leaving behind.
But Narith’s home world hides old resentments and vicious political traps. A family tragedy forces him to return, dragging Mac into a labyrinth of caste expectations, predatory rivals, and a powerful male determined to claim what isn’t his. Narith tries to bury his feelings beneath duty, yet jealousy flares hotter than any star when another male touches Mac.
As tension erupts and danger closes in, Mac and Narith must decide who they truly are to each other—master and pet, or something far more fragile…and far more worth fighting for. Their bond may be the only thing that saves them, or the weakness that destroys them both.
Includes exclusive KU bonus scenes not in the original release.
Series reviews: "Sci-Fi Romances have never been my thing but Samantha Cayto does it just right for me!
