An alien warrior determined to claim a human bride. A human woman who would would rather fight to her last breath than surrender. Thrown together in a slaver’s deadly game, their only hope is to discover a love powerful enough to defy their destruction.

Locus the Enforcer is no stranger to danger. But when he descends to Earth in search of a mate, he never expects to find her in the filthy grip of black-market slavers. They mock him for walking into their camp, for daring to claim a bride as though he has the right. Until he points to the one who meets his gaze without flinching and says the words that will change both their lives: I choose her.
What should have been a simple claim becomes a brutal trial. Three deadly challenges await them: snares that force sacrifice, predators not of this world, and hunters who will stop at nothing to watch them fall. The slavers have stacked the odds and wager on their deaths, but Locus knows only one truth. Hannah is his to protect. His to fight beside. His to keep alive.
Hannah never asked to be claimed. Fierce and unyielding, she refuses to bow to chains or to the alien warrior who has bound himself to her survival. Yet with every trap, every breathless escape, and every brush of his body against hers, resistance blurs into a dangerous, undeniable pull.
Together they must battle the preserve, the hunters, and the storm between them. Failure means death. Survival means surrendering to a bond that could consume them both.

Fifth is a scorching, heart-pounding sci-fi romance packed with edge-of-your-seat danger, enemies-to-lovers tension, and an alien warrior who will burn the world to keep his mate safe. Perfect for fans of steamy survival romance, fierce heroines, and brooding warriors who fall hard.
