I should be dead by now.
I’ve been running for three days on no sleep or food, carrying secrets that powerful Xylan males on Chronos would kill to bury. So I do the only thing I can — I find the one family in the Four Sectors crazy enough to take on the Xylan ancestral home world.
The door opens and an enormous, gentle alien stands on the threshold. He scents me before I can speak and puts himself between me and his entire family, like I’m something precious instead of a walking grenade.
“You are safe here now,” he rumbles.
Maxon — they call him Rook — is the youngest of the nine Fever Brothers. The one that is overlooked. A brother who has waited his whole life to scent his Bride.
He wants to bring me food and braid my hair. And he says that I’m his mate?
What the heck?
I will not be the reason this beautiful family loses another brother. (Even if he’s already the only thing in the universe I want.)
