Sheala — Judy Mays

When a Gattan warrior loves a woman, nothing will stop him from claiming her -- not breaking his society's long-standing traditions on a world not his own nor the fact that this woman's brother was once an enemy.

From the first moment Marljas caught sight of Sheala's curvaceous body and mischievous eyes, he wanted her. When she accidentally cut him, she sealed her fate. She'd blooded his neck, claiming him in true Gattan tradition. By all rights, she was his.

After Sheala is kidnapped and tortured by a family enemy, the indulged, protected young woman she'd been disappeared. Hoping Marljas will heal her physically and mentally, Sheala initiates the blood ritual that would bind her to him forever.

The fire he ignites in her soul does much, much more.
