She named the jungle predator Kevin. The alien who rescued her is beginning to suspect Kevin was the easier problem.
Taylor Jennings has an archaeology degree nobody will pay her to use, so she’s in the Colombian jungle writing checks for the privilege of carrying someone else’s radar equipment. Then a buried temple hums beneath her hand—and she wakes in a slaver’s cage headed for auction.
Kel boarded that ship to extract a diplomat’s daughter. Seventeen successful retrievals. Zero complications.
Complication eighteen is small, loud, names apex predators ‘Kevin,’ and makes every dormant marking on his body ignite the moment she touches him.
The resonance bond says Taylor is his eternal mate. Kel’s Authority says her uncontacted world is strictly off-limits. Taylor says fate doesn’t get to skip the consent conversation.
Now they’re stranded on a jungle world with slavers hunting them. They have two days’ walk to safety, one working translator, and an attraction bright enough to betray them both. The bond may have made them mates—but love is a choice biology cannot make for them.
A witty, steamy alien romance featuring a grumpy glowing warrior, a sunshine-with-a-clipboard heroine, forced-proximity jungle survival, touch-her-and-die protection, unexpected found family, and a resonance bond that can never override consent.
Complete standalone with open-door heat and a guaranteed HEA.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
