Alien Protector’s Mate

Desperate to escape her abusive foster family, Jade disguises herself as a boy and stows away on a ship bound for Devan station, knowing her only hope of survival is to remain undetected.

But when she meets S'aad, a powerful healer working aboard the station, she is caught between survival and an unexpected attraction to the handsome alien warrior. But her secret could destroy everything, and the dangerous mate program might be her worst nightmare—or her only salvation.

Genetic matching expert. Emotional novice. Inevitable collision.

As a lead researcher in the mate program, S'aad believes in the scientific precision of genetic compatibility. But a new assistant threatens to unravel everything he knows about matching humans and Latharians, challenging his professional detachment and awakening something far more dangerous than any scientific protocol.

With a trafficking network closing in Jade is now the key to exposing a network that could destroy everything he believes in. And some secrets are deadly enough to destroy them both.
