About this book

CAPTIVE PET II: A Dark Alien Sci-Fi Romance of Captivity, Obsession, and Forbidden Desire Mara Vale survived being taken. Now she must survive being wanted. Inside Vael-Toruun, the Kharuun court is a beautiful cage built from vows, bloodlines, old conquest, and secrets carved into sacred law. Mara is no longer just a stolen human scholar. She is the captive who can read what the empire has spent centuries twisting, hiding, and worshipping. That makes her valuable. That makes her dangerous. Vorrak, the brutal alien warlord who claimed her before the court, is the only thing standing between Mara and the enemies who would break her mind to steal what she knows. But protection in the Kharuun Empire is never clean. Every touch feels like a threat. Every warning sounds too close to possession. Every truth she uncovers pulls her deeper into the warlord’s shadow. When a failed escape, a forbidden memory shard, and the Hall of Ancestral Vows expose cracks in the empire’s oldest beliefs, Mara begins to understand that the collar around her throat may be tied to something far older than captivity. The empire calls it sacred. Mara calls it a lie. And Vorrak may be the one man powerful enough…
