Unwilling Mate

By Opal Carew

Eva vowed never to surrender control to a man again, but now she is held prisoner by an alien who insists she belongs to him.

Eva learned the hard way never to trust a man. Even when they claim everlasting love, it’s all a lie. A free luxury resort vacation is just the ticket to forget her broken dreams and all the pain her ex has caused her.

But after she steps into a VIP elevator, she winds up aboard a spaceship loaded with drop-dead gorgeous aliens too tempting to resist. Especially Commander Larson Raa-ling who claims to be her soul-mate. But resist him she will.

Larson knows Eva feels the same potent desire he feels for her, but her fear and stubbornness are holding her back. He knows he must be patient to win her trust, but constraining the gut-wrenching need to join with her is sheer torture. The longer she resists their bond, the closer to the breaking point he comes.

Eva tries desperately to remember all the reasons she vowed never to surrender control to a man again. But as Larson chips away at her defenses, her resistance is crumbling by the second.

Unwilling Mate is the second book in Opal Carew’s sexy sci-fi romance series, Abducted. If you love poignant stories about a woman struggling with her past traumas and a patient loving man willing to do whatever it takes to win her heart, then this story is definitely for you!

Chapter 1

Eva glanced around at the three other women, virtual strangers, who sat at the table with her. Ever since she’d received word she’d won this all-inclusive vacation at the Bonavista Resort, she’d been looking forward to getting away—from her hectic job as office manager at Keye Electronics, from the frigid January weather in Toronto, and definitely from her aggravating ex-husband.

Her fists clenched under the table as she remembered how he’d done everything he could to delay the sale of their house just to hold up the funds she needed for a down payment on a great new condominium on the west side. With the deadline on the offer looming and no sign of the money becoming available, she’d been stressing out. Finally, she’d decided to hell with it, and she’d let the condo go. It was all about control with Roger, so she simply decided not to play along.

Crystal, across the table, said something Eva couldn’t hear. Jenna, the woman to her left laughed, and Kate, next to her, giggled. Eva smiled, feeling the tension of the past few months slipping away.

She glanced around the large ballroom where the welcoming party to the luxury resort was in full swing. This next week, she intended to relax on the beach, swim and make some new friends. But no men. That jerk of an ex-husband had shown her what men were really all about, and she had decided she could do without a man in her life. Period.

Now, if only she could convince her libido of that.

Allowing her gaze to wander over the women in glittering evening gowns and men in well-tailored tuxes swirling around the dance floor, she felt her insides quiver when she imagined being held in the arms of one of the many gorgeous men here, yet her stomach knotted at the thought of letting any man touch her. Damn, how had she let her ex-husband screw her up so thoroughly?

Eva noticed the hostess leading another woman, holding one of the sweet red cocktails in her hand, to their table. In a black linen power suit, her golden-blonde hair tugged back tight from her face, she seemed more appropriately attired for a business meeting than a party. The woman glanced around uncertainly, tugging at the hem of her trim jacket. Ordinarily, Eva would have held back from this high-powered, business-woman type, since she’d found most to be cold and full of themselves, but this woman seemed lost and a little vulnerable.

This is where you’ll be sitting this evening, Eva heard the hostess say over the music and laughter as they approached the table. Please help yourself to drinks and appetizers. Someone will come and get you for the orientation in about twenty minutes.

The newcomer nodded her thanks and sank into the empty chair. Eva smiled at her.

Hi. My name’s Eva.

Eva offered her hand and the other woman shook it.

Hi. I’m Aria.

Aria’s grip was firm and her fingers frigid. Poor thing must realize how out of place she was in her current attire.

Eva’s fingers glided along the simple string of pearls she wore at her neck. She was glad she’d chosen to wear her favorite dress, a black wrap-around that made her feel feminine and sophisticated.

This is Jenna, Kate and Crystal. Eva introduced the women clockwise around the table.

They all smiled and nodded. Each wore an evening gown.

I feel a little out of place. Aria fiddled with the clip holding her hair in a twist at the back of her head. I should have worn something else.

Don’t worry about it, Eva said. You look great.

Thanks.

This is so exciting! Kate, the young woman across the table from Aria, pushed her long, auburn hair behind her ear, her green eyes glittering with enthusiasm. I wonder what they have planned for us.

Aria sipped the drink she still held in her hand.

I don’t know, but I hope there are men involved. Crystal, the tall blonde on Aria’s right, settled a lascivious gaze on the hard, muscular butts of three guys,

Reviews for Unwilling Mate

[Sara Walton · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

This book was basically trash. It has nothing to do with love, it was just a book about erotic sexual behaviors. I was pretty disappointed as it could have been a lot better what’s the plot that have been laid out.
