BADARI MEDIC

Raeblin was one of the very few Badari women ever created by the alien scientists. Trained as a medic, she insisted on taking her turn in combat, fighting the enemy and rescuing human prisoners.
Brent is a tough human mercenary, ex-Special Forces, detailed without her knowledge to be a bodyguard for Raeblin on her first deployment.
The mission goes wrong and now Raeblin and Brent are on the run across the planet, trying to elude the enemy long enough to be rescued by the Badari Warriors. When Brent is severely injured Raeblin faces tough choices, influenced by the fact her heart has decided Brent is her fated mate. Will the notoriously footloose soldier accept what she does to save his life? Could he ever agree to become a claimed mate and settle down with one woman?
