Stolen Cargo (The Refuge Run, #1)

I stole classified cargo from the corporation I worked for. The cargo turned out to be alive. One of them thinks I belong to him now.

I’m Zara Cole, former logistics coordinator, current most wanted woman in three systems. When I found out what was really in those crates... living prisoners, one of them eight feet of scarred alien fury... I did the only thing my conscience would allow and opened the cells. I planned to run alone.

Kael had other plans.

He is Vorath. Four arms, bioluminescent markings that glow when he looks at me, a species that communicates through touch, and a biology that decided, the moment his cell opened, that I am his to protect. He will not leave. He physically cannot. Believe me, we have discussed it.

Now we are hunted across every jump lane the corporation owns, in a stolen ship neither of us can fully fly, with a bond neither of us asked for pulling tighter by the day. They want their cargo back. Alive is optional.

His biology says mate. My head says complication. The corporation says target. Somebody is going to be right.

Book One of The Refuge Run duet. A fated mates sci-fi alien romance with an on-the-run plot, forced proximity, a devoted alien protector who fell first and fell hard, and heat that builds with the trust. Adult content, 18+.
