To ensure her safety, the future human ambassador on Makaen has to bond to a Makaen warrior.Free-spirited Sarah is anything but diplomatic. But to end the war between humans and an alien race called the Makaen, she's persuaded to accept the position of ambassador, which requires bonding to a Makaen warrior and living with him on his planet. Sarah is far from enthusiastic about marrying a dominant sex-crazed brute. Furthermore, a bonded female is supposed to be demure and obedient. Words that definitely aren't in her translator.Kealen Bakan, commander of the most powerful warship of the Makaen's military, agrees to bond to one of his former enemies out of a sense of duty. His hate for her species burns deep inside, but after touching her he knows one thing for sure: the human female belongs to him, and he's never going to let her go. He soon experiences that fighting in a war might be less dangerous than handling this stubborn female.Their first contact is electrifying- literally, and raises the question of whether they were brought together by divine intervention.

When you desperately need to escape from a more-than-dubious space station you’re stranded on and the least insane option is sneaking aboard a Makaen ship, you know you’re screwed. Big-time!The mere thought of being in the same space as Makaen makes Kat’s stomach churn for the alien warrior race hate humans intensely. Yes, Kat is also half-Cassidi, but her human genes are definitely more dominant, especially on the outside. But to help a friend in need she has no other choice. So, sneaking aboard a Makaen freighter it is.It’s no surprise that the plan backfires and they get caught. Duh, it was her brother’s idea after all. What does baffles her is that it takes only one electrifying touch from the ship’s captain—a stranger belonging to a species she was taught to stay as far away from as possible—to make her melt into a needy puddle of goo.Refusing to bond with a human, Dykan leaves Makaen-Prime and his family behind to try his luck as a captain on a freighter transporting mostly illegal merchandise. When he finds stowaways aboard his ship his first thought is to throw them all out of the nearest airlock. But one look into the female’s gorgeous begging eyes is enough to change his mind completely. Even though he doesn’t understand why he is so fascinated by this human female—he has more than enough reason to hate her species—no self-respecting space pirate would refuse what she offers. Too late he realizes that she’s more than he bargained for.
