Claimed: Book 1 in the Brides of the Kindred

Olivia Waterhouse has just graduated from nursing school and has her whole life ahead of her—until she gets drafted. Problem is, she isn’t being forced into the Army, she’s been chosen as an Alien warrior's bride and she has no say in the matter.

Baird is a huge, muscular Beast Kindred. Wounded and angry after being imprisoned and tortured by his enemies, he’s finally free to claim his bride, only to find that she’s determined to return to her life on Earth. He has one month to win over the curvy little human. Each week the Kindred courtship rituals allow him to touch her more and more intimately – the Holding Week, the Bathing Week, The Tasting Week…
But the more he gets attached to her, the harder it will be to let her go if she refuses to stay and be his bride.

Brides of the Kindred
The Series

A race of Genetic Traders from beyond the stars
Three very different types of men
All looking for one thing…their brides

In all their years of travel the Kindred have come across only three worlds with
species close enough to their own to initiate a trade.
Earth is the fourth.

Beast Kindred—Savage in battle these dark, brooding warriors from Rageron bring their passion and intensity to the bedroom. They possess a very special endowment that ensures every sexual experience is a tantric one.

Blood Kindred—Cold as ice to their enemies, these tall, blond warriors from Tranq Prime warm up when they find the right woman. But be careful…they bite.

Twin Kindred—Muscular and rugged, these warriors from Twin Moons always come in pairs and cannot be separated. They experience physical pain when parted from each other…or the one woman they both choose to love.

And then there is the enemy…

The Scourge—A genetic trade gone wrong, these menacing outsiders have twisted desires and sexual needs fierce enough to frighten away even the most adventurous. Their need to dominate and possess their women completely has led to a strange prophesy that they must fulfill…or die trying.
