Claimed by the alien next door.
Our steamy one-night stand leaves me pregnant.
Now he's on the run, hunted -- and willing to sacrifice himself to protect us both.

Sara finally feels safe now that Earth's conquerors have fled -- until one irresistible night with the alien next door changes everything. Dekar is intoxicating. Glowing hands, iridescent scales, and a smile that melts every defense she has.

Then he disappears. No note. No warning. And she's pregnant -- on a world increasingly violent against aliens.
Hunted, Dekar returns. Sara's all he can think about. She's his fated mate, his to protect, as is the baby he didn't know existed. Winning her back is no longer the objective; protecting her and their baby comes first, even if he must sacrifice himself to do so.
