Purring Across the Stars: The Alien He Should Fear Is Purring for Him. Romance Fantasy

As one of the few humans this far from Asterra, Elias already attracts more attention than he wants. His diner is his refuge—until Varok, a vicious pirate with poisonous skin and a habit of treating Elias like property, turns every visit into a threat. Kael should be no safer. He travels with pirates, has claws, sharp teeth, and far too much interest in a human who wants nothing to do with interstellar trouble.

But Kael is different. His touch doesn’t hurt. His protectiveness feels dangerously sincere. And when he starts purring around Elias, cultural misunderstandings give way to an attraction neither of them can dismiss.

The problem is that Kael knows something Elias doesn’t—about the bond forming between them, and about the dangerous business moving through the station. With Varok growing bolder and secrets hiding behind pirate loyalties, Elias has to decide who is truly dangerous before someone decides his life is theirs to take.

In a galaxy full of predators, trusting the wrong alien could kill him. Trusting Kael could change everything.
