Claimed by the Alien Barbarian — Ava Ross

Kerry: After I'm taken from Earth and dropped in an alien forest, I resign myself to never going home. There went my dream of finding someone to love. Then a gorgeous, severely wounded alien stumbles into my campsite. As I nurse him back to health, I start wondering if this seven-foot-tall guy with shadows flickering in his eyes could be the one. Nevarn tells me he was traveling to the clan he grew up in, that he was banished for a crime he didn't commit, and that he's going to prove his innocence. When he asks me to help him, I realize there's no place I'd rather be. Nevarn: After I was banished from my clan, I created a new life for myself in the forest. But my banishment is over, and I'm determined to find out who framed me. On the way, I'm attacked and left for dead, and a beautiful human, Kerry, saves my life. When a symbol appears on my wrist, I know she's my mate. She agrees to travel with me, and I see this as my chance to show her all a Zuldruxian male has to offer. But someone is following us, and they'll do anything to keep us from reaching our destination. I'd burn the world down to protect Kerry, but will we survive long enough to fall in love? Contains mature themes.
