    About this ebook

    Wyla

    From successful astrophysicist to captive of a brutal alien samurai; where did I go wrong?


    I have some advice for anyone reading this: if you're ever offered the opportunity to jump head-first into a black hole with a team of amazing but obviously self-destructive women, just stay home and read a book instead.

    Maybe things wouldn't be quite so bad if we weren't all separated from each other in the void. Once I've landed on the other side in this strange, terrifying world, I'm on my own. Well, not entirely.

    The first life form I discover is a scaly, insanely ripped giant massacring a group of his own kind with a lit-up samurai sword. He's covered in the blood of his enemies and now he's coming for me. I can't outrun him and my bullets bounce off his chest. It's not really fair, is it?

    I need to find the others and complete my mission, but this alien warrior won't let me leave his lair. He has declared that I will be his mate, I hope that doesn't mean what I think it does. I know that every minute that passes could be a matter of life and death, but there's no escape.

    The way he touches me, his brute power…I feel myself falling under his spell. The more I get to know the person beneath the savage, the more I start to fear that not only am I unable to leave, but I don't even want to.

     

    Sota

    Since I was exiled from my settlement I have known nothing but rage and loneliness.

    My life has slipped through my fingers and now I have been reduced to a dishonorable cutthroat. I didn't think there would be any more surprises for me—until I came across her.

     

    I have not seen anyone of her species on Xuthara before. This is a world where only the toughest and most courageous can prosper. I don't think she is going to prosper.

    I could dissect her—she is certainly an interesting specimen, so soft and feeble. Or I could just cast her out and leave her to be devoured by this harsh world. And yet I find that I yearn to keep her near me, and certainly not for her conversation.

    She is nothing like the Abe females. She is weak, loud, and a constant thorn in my side. Why does the thought of her leaving fill my soul with dread? She has tried to escape me once, but I cannot allow that to happen again. She must forget about her former life. She is mine—now and forever.
