Saving Verakko
When Lily is freed from alien captivity, she refuses to wait for rescue—or recapture. She’ll take her chances in the forest. Navigating the exotic terrain won’t be easy, but it beats the alternative. Then, an enormous alien falls into her camp and makes her question everything. He’s rude, grumpy, and annoyingly sexy. Trusting him would be a mistake. And yet…the idea of leaving him behind hurts way more than it should.
Verakko was supposed to liberate the kidnapped humans, then return home to fulfill his obligations. Getting dropped into the forest at the feet of the most confounding female he’s ever met was not on the agenda. So, he’ll help her, then they’ll go their separate ways. That’s the plan…until he starts to suspect that Lily is his mate.
She doesn’t trust easily. He has secrets and responsibilities he can’t avoid forever. Only one thing is clear. If Lily and Verakko want their happily ever after, they’ll have to fight more than the dangers of the forest to get it.
The series
In a galaxy where freedom is bartered and desire is dangerous, the Clecanian series takes readers beyond the stars and deep into the heart of what it means to choose—love, identity, and agency. Set in a meticulously imagined world where alien societies clash with human resilience, each book spins its own standalone story while contributing to a broader universe filled with raw emotion, reluctant intimacy, and quietly radical heroines who refuse to settle for anything less than true autonomy.
Read full series description
At the core of this sci-fi romance saga is a provocative question: what happens when power is uneven—but the pull is undeniable? From arranged pairings with hidden tenderness to fierce, slow-burning connections forged through resistance and trust, the series subverts the usual tropes of abduction and possession by centering female choice in every plot twist. These aren’t stories about being taken—they’re about taking back control, one hard-won relationship at a time.
The atmosphere hums with tension—both emotional and sensual—and the world-building is rich with alien customs, unspoken rules, and layered conflicts that extend far beyond just the romantic leads. But it’s the characters—flawed, funny, hurting, healing—that leave a lasting impression. Whether it’s a warrior torn between duty and desire, or a human woman navigating a culture where nothing is familiar and everything is at stake, each protagonist brings depth to a genre often dismissed as escapist.
Fans of slow-burn sci-fi romance with strong emotional arcs and a healthy dose of steam will find themselves drawn into this universe where nothing is black-and-white, and every connection is earned. Bold, intimate, and unexpectedly thoughtful, the Clecanian series doesn’t just flirt with fantasy—it challenges it.
