Zoey Draven

She made a deal with the Dakkari devil. Now, he owns her. On the unforgiving planet of Dakkar, I did what all the humans in our village did: kept my head down, worked to provide for my family, and I certainly didn’t break any Dakkari laws to risk inciting the alien race’s merciless wrath. Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said for my brother and one careless mistake brings a horde of the nomadic, barbarian Dakkari straight to our doorstep, led by their powerful horde king—a cold, ruthless, battle-scarred warrior demanding retribution. In order to save my brother’s life, I do the unthinkable. I sell myself to the horde king as his war prize. I agree to warm his furs, to travel with his horde across the wild lands of Dakkar, and to never see my family again. But as I struggle with my new reality, I discover that the surly, mysterious, dominant horde king never intended for me to be his concubine… He wants me as his queen.

A monster wants her as his bride…and he will stop at nothing to claim her. Gemma Hara is drowning under the weight of her father’s debts. Working herself to the bone, she knows that if she doesn’t pay them off in time, the sadistic creditors will take everything: their home, their respected name, and, worst of all, her two beautiful sisters. To save her family, Gemma agrees to do something reckless: marry a wealthy and mysterious stranger, who offers her a wicked bargain she can’t afford to refuse. However, his bargain comes with one terrifying catch. Because her husband-to-be is a Kylorr. One of the most fearsome alien races in the Four Quadrants, the Kylorr are beastly monsters, all muscle and menace, with powerful wings, depraved cravings, and berserker-like rages. The worst part? They survive on blood. Cold and cruel, Azur of House Kaalium, the High Lord of Laras, demands Gemma as his blood bride. To feed from her. To use her body in whatever way he wishes. For paying off her family’s debts, he expects her complete submission. What neither of them predicts is how his bite doesn’t bring pain—it fills Gemma with more exquisite pleasure than she’s ever known. And as she finds her footing on a strange new planet, the one thing Gemma thought she’d never surrender might be at risk after all. Her heart. Too bad her new husband can’t seem to decide if he wants to break it…or keep it forever.

Nine years ago, he broke my heart and never returned. I vowed to forget him…if only I could. When I was a child, I fell in love with a Dakkari boy. The prince of our clan. Rukkar, we called him. For he was destined to become the greatest horde king of our time. He was Kiran of Rath Okkili. My friend. My strong, unyielding protector. His mischievous smile and golden eyes made my heart flutter and my soul sing. And just when I began to believe he returned my love…he shattered me so completely and never once looked back to see how I’d survived. Nine years later, he’s returned. Only, he’s not a prince anymore. He’s a horde king. Cold and cruel. With molten eyes like sin and a body made for war. I promised myself I’d never love him again. He intends to make a liar out of me. Because he not only wants my love again…he also demands me as his queen.

Now, he has come to punish her… In my human settlement on the hostile plains of Dakkar, I am an outcast, a strange girl orphaned since birth, alone, and dreaming of a life I don't have.

When my desperate actions catch the attention of a Dakkari horde king—a cold, powerful, and merciless warrior leader, with eyes like flint and a body like steel—he seeks to punish me…and he succeeds. But then he does the unexpected. Instead of taking my life, he claims me as his own. He steals me from my village and brings me back to his battle-bred horde. There, I warm his bed. I make bargains with him on starry, cold nights. I look into his grey eyes and see not a monster, but a demon king who captures my soul.

I tremble when he touches me but he awakens my desire, something I fear I’ll crave…all while I struggle to save my family. Now the Mad Horde King has me in his possession… I fear he never intends to let me go.

Being brave? Valerie Browen doesn’t remember how to be brave, especially when she has an evil, corrupt aunt tracking her every movement, whose wealth and power extends across all the New Earth colonies. Even worse? Her aunt owns and runs an illegal brothel, where wealthy human women come to spend the night with an infamous Krave, highly desired alien lovers with certain—ahem—skills and non-human abilities between the sheets.
