I’m at the mercy of a Minotaur.

I thought I found the treasure of a lifetime: The untouched ruins of an ancient civilization, ready to be plundered for its many riches.

I mean, studied. For science. I’m not a thief or anything.

Instead, the Minotaur King abducts me.

At first I worry I will be executed for my crimes, but it’s worse. Much worse.

The Minotaur King is going to marry me.

Abducted by the Ruthless Royal

The series

Full series details →

Across galaxies ruled by brutal kings and dark fates, a pulse beats with something fiercer than conquest—desire. Abducted by the Ruthless Royal spins a seductive web of alien royalty, fated mates, and the unrelenting clash between freedom and fate. In each standalone installment, a fierce human heroine is stolen away—claimed not just as a captive, but as a catalyst to a ruler’s downfall...or redemption.

Read full series description

These aren’t stories of delicate diplomacy. They unfold in primal worlds where instinct and power rule, where monstrous kings possess claws, scales, or shadows—and where love isn’t sweet, but scorching, tangled in dominance, resistance, and the slow unraveling of armor both physical and emotional. From venomous Naga princes to deadly Wraith monarchs cloaked in darkness, each encounter is its own tempest—unpredictable, steamy, and charged with tension.

The series excels in blending science fiction and dark fantasy romance, leaning into the delicious danger of forbidden attraction and the gritty nuances of survival among predators. It doesn’t shy away from intensity, yet it finds unexpected tenderness in the most alien of hearts. The emotional payoff is as thrilling as the battles, and every abduction feels less like theft and more like a storm long overdue.

Perfect for readers who crave possessive anti-heroes, slow-burn tension, and immersive, high-stakes worlds, this series delivers heat, heart, and a wild ride through the stars—where surrender doesn’t mean weakness, and love is the most ruthless force of all.
