I've been captured by a ridiculously hot alien pirate.

But can I ever be more than just a pawn in his schemes?

LACEY

After being abducted by lizard-like aliens and auctioned off to a brutal alien lord, I thought all was lost.

Then pirates seize the ship and steal me away. My only hope lies in their leader—a hulking gold alien who's smoldering gaze has me longing for something I've only read about in books.

It's crazy to think this shameless flirt and conniving thief could be anything more than an obstacle to finding Gwen and Iris. But when he lets his guard down, I get glimpses of the heart of gold he's put under lock and key.

Now, I just need to convince him to do the right thing.

VEX

Lacey's unlike anyone I've ever met—and she's driving me mad.

Clever, beautiful, and achingly innocent, her sweetness and unwavering belief in true love challenge everything I thought I knew about myself.

At first, she was just another prize to exploit; a means to an end. But I see a future in her eyes I can't ignore. For the first time, I find myself craving someone who stands apart from the rest…forever.

Who even am I?

And as we face threats from all sides, I wonder if I can be the man she trusts to deliver her to her friends on Ydris? Or will my greed and pride get in the way?

His Clever Captive is a short, steamy, fated mates romance and the third book in the Earthly Possessions series. It features a bookish heroine with stars in her eyes, and a diehard playboy, who's forced to confront his deepest fears. Because sometimes, the greatest possession is the love you never saw coming.
