CAPTIVE PET Series
She was taken as a trophy.
She became the question that could break an empire.
Dr. Mara Vale built her life around dead languages, buried warnings, and the forbidden words powerful civilizations tried to erase. On the frontier colony of Halcyon Drift, her work was dangerous only in theory, until the Kharuun came from the sky and turned scholarship into survival.
Dragged into Vael-Toruun, a brutal alien court of warlords, sacred vows, captive law, bloodline power, and beautiful violence, Mara is marked as a human possession in a world where weakness is consumed and truth is controlled by those strong enough to claim it.
Then Vorrak claims her.
He is a feared Kharuun warlord, scarred by the same empire he serves, bound by laws older than memory, and dangerous enough to make the court hesitate. To everyone else, Mara is a captive pet, a prize, a human scholar with a useful mind. To Vorrak, she is a threat he should control and a temptation he cannot easily release.
But Mara’s gift for translation begins to uncover something the empire has buried beneath worship, obedience, and blood. The oldest vows may not mean what the throne says they mean. The collar around her throat may be tied to a power far deeper than captivity. And the forbidden desire growing between captor and captive may become the one thing neither of them can command.
The CAPTIVE PET series is a dark alien sci-fi romance filled with captivity, obsession, forbidden desire, alien warlord romance, possessive protection, forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers tension, interstellar court intrigue, alien empire secrets, dangerous vows, and a human heroine fighting to choose her own fate.
