Bound to the Beast

He's a warlord on the edge. She's a teacher on the run. Their worlds are about to collide-in the most explosive way possible.

Warlord Iven has one foot in the grave, days away from a ceremonial execution to save his honor-and the galaxy-from his untamed beast. But when a desperate plea lands a mission in his lap, everything changes. A royal child is in hiding. Assassins are on Earth. And his last chance at redemption lies in a sleepy little town in Washington … in the form of a fiercely protective, infuriatingly sexy fourth-grade teacher named Krystal.

Krystal James has already lost everything. Her sister. Her old life. Her peace. Now, she lives under a false identity, guarding her nephew-the last heir to an alien fortune-with nothing but grit, lies, and a very protective alien cat. Falling for a towering kindergarten teacher with a lethal growl and a gaze that says mine? Not part of the plan.

But fate doesn't care about plans. It only cares about destiny.

When Iven's beast roars to life, Krystal must decide: trust the alien protector with her body and heart-or risk losing everything to the killers closing in.

Because once an Atlan warlord claims his mate, there's no turning back. And this beast has found his match.
