Taken by the Alien Tracker

Natalie runs the tightest security operation on the frontier, yet a bonded male still vanishes from her docking bay while his mate loses time by the minute.

When her rules fail, she turns to Tael, a Draelith tracker with a ninety-four percent success rate, a purr she can feel in her spine, and a warning about his anatomy that she wants far more than she should.

He hears the change in her heartbeat the moment he enters a room and already knows the claim he cannot afford, while she keeps trying to deny what his heat does to her.

The trail leads back to the people who built him, and their lesson is simple: find what a male loves, and he is already theirs.

After two years of caution, Tael is ready to step into their kill zone for her, even as something out there keeps collecting bonded mates.
