AMARA KASONGO

Kidnapped in the dead of night, I wake up in a prison colony on the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy.

But my cell is unlike any I've ever seen, controlled by alien monsters!

My captors are bloodthirsty tyrants hellbent on subjugating hundreds of other women and me.

I fear I'll die a lonely death far away from home.

Until a seven-foot, blood-red, horned alien named Rüelion rescues me, and my life takes an even stranger turn.

But salvation comes at a stiff price—becoming his breeding slave or risk being left behind to die.

RÜELION, THE MERCENARY

Once an elite assassin for the Xelhüx Galactic Empire, I transformed into a ruthless soldier of fortune surviving on odd jobs on foreign worlds.

When a virus sterilized and killed most of our breeders, we, the Xu, fled the Cauio Galaxy in search of a new homeworld.

I expected my latest assignment to be like my last, earning just enough money to live another day, searching for my fated mate.

But when I lock eyes with inmate 37BB, I know without a shadow of a doubt that I've found my Xul.

Amara was born for me.

She was born to breed.

And I will stop at nothing to have her, even if it means saving my tiny alien mate and her comrades from my mortal enemies—alone.

Rescued by the Alien Mercenary (Astral Brides, #1) is a dark alien abduction romance set in the Astral Mates Universe.
