Tamed by a Goddess's Touch

Kaelus, a grumpy Beast-Blood Hybrid Kindred who believes he will never Bond a mate, can barely tolerate sharing a laboratory with Dr. Clair Donovan.

She breaks his rules, and the attraction he refuses to name only sharpens their workplace rivalry.

When a deadly virus turns a Kindred colony savage, the two scientists are sent to Titus Four to find a cure while posing as husband and wife.

On that world, husbands are expected to worship their wives as goddesses through shared beds, intimate rituals, and devoted touch.

Clair has sworn off men after a disastrous marriage, yet Kaelus becomes dangerously convincing whenever those customs put his hands on her.

Beneath the planet’s sensual traditions lies a deadly secret someone will do anything to keep buried.
