Leiv, the Cunning

I didn't flee Earth and escape my ex-husband just to end up shackled to another man.
Leiv, the Cunning, claims his intentions are noble. Also, he's doing everything in his power to be the perfect surrogate father for my son, but I'm not a fool.
I see the way he looks at me when he thinks I'm not paying attention. I know he's told every other Horgerian that I belong to him. I know he's desperate for a mate.
But I also know that I will never trust a man again…

A slightly dark alien romance with a happy ending. While Carrie's past is unpleasant, our hero is devoted, lovable, and hell-bent on making her forget her scars. Spoiler: He will definitely succeed. ;)
