396 pages / 67 chapters / 194,000 words total (The price reflects the size of this one--this is a BIG book! She's THICC! If you're looking for a story you can lose yourself in for days, this is the one!!)
Synopsis:
Memories all stripped away, a nameless woman is sold at auction. Her buyer might be an angel, but he's no holy symbol--and he's clearly got bad intentions.
When the angels are evil and the demons won't help, what then?
Then you run like hell, you hide, and do whatever it takes to stay alive. Even pick a fight with an alien twice your size.
*~*~*
Dae, Ilsuk, and Xuakai have been living together for a long time, finding love and companionship among one another and their young daughter, Minsie.
The sudden appearance of a fugitive in their storage bay isn't what they anticipated on this particular market run, and she may have been the first to draw blood...but Ilsuk has smelled this type of fear before and knows what sorts of things cause it.
The men will do whatever it takes to keep their daughter safe, but when little Minsie decides to make friends with the beast below deck, they have to reevaluate how they see the feral woman.
She may turn out to be exactly what they all needed.

What the beta readers have to say:
"I’m in love. Relken developed the relationships between the characters in such sweet and wonderful ways as time passes in the story and I’m absolutely in love. The scenes we get with Kai are so achingly sweet!!! The author gives us such wonderful moments with the characters as their feeling develop." - Trena
"I'm in love with Stowaway and OMG how awesome is it that Relken created a language for each race?! I love it! I like the pace of the plot, I kept wanting to know what was going to happen next! I'm so invested in the story from the very early chapters!! The three men were very distinguishable; but Ilsuk is my favorite ❤" - Giulia
"I really enjoyed this story, and am really glad I gave it a go, as it was a bit out of my normal genre! But I feel that it expanded my horizons in ways that I did not expect. I also loved the world building. Well done!" - Sofia
"I really love the main female character. Even though she has lost her memories, she shows she has common sense. That does lack in a lot of books that I have read. She is logical but also very empathetic. The ending was truly beautiful and a perfect way to wrap up the story. I was truly sad that the book was ending but happy Cinn and the family were finally at peace together." - Tyara
