Zander

His death is in her hands…

A stranded alien warrior must convince a distrustful human woman that she's his fated mate, before time runs out and he loses everything—including his life.

Zander Grayson is immensely wealthy, immensely successful... and living on borrowed time. Like the other crew members of the Korun'Va, he's known it ever since the assault corvette crash-landed on Earth decades ago. With every passing day, he and his fellow five survivors edge ever closer to Tal'Vakesh—the reproductive frenzy no unmated male M'Aqhar survives. 

Working as a member of the waitstaff team at a high-end restaurant wasn't the career Carolyn Belmont had planned, but it was the one she'd been forced into. She keeps her head down and works hard—until the terrifying events of one evening propel her life in a direction she could never have anticipated. 

For Zander, Carolyn is the fated mate who shouldn't exist, but she's running scared, and for him, time is running out. Past experience has made her wary, so convincing her to trust an alien warrior could become both the fight of Zander's life and the key to saving it.
