From space came humanity's end, and its salvation. All the Apparatta asked in return was the right to seek brides among us to save their own species. Anyone female may be screened, but only the willing are Claimed.
Her future is uncertain . . .
When Clara Whitemarsh finally catches a glimpse of the devastatingly handsome aliens who saved humanity, she can't help but feel the charismatic power -- and danger -- that practically rolls off of them.
He's a ruthless warrior willing to use any weapon against his enemy . . .
Arribatt Devonai will do anything to protect his people. Anything. No matter how ruthless. His people have always come before his own needs, but his best laid plans are put to the test when Clara falls into his lap and a possessive desire that, for once, has nothing to do the survival of the Apparatta. If there's one thing Devonai knows, it's that Clara was meant to be an Apparatta bride. But his bride? ... that's a different story.
