She trespasses.
She taunts.
She stares at me like I’m salvation instead of a monster forged in war.

I should walk away.

But the moment her fingers graze my palm, I feel the bond snap tight—and I know I’ll burn planets before I let her bleed.

She’s soft where I’m all scale and rage.
Human. Brave. Stupid enough to stand her ground when the gangs come hunting.
And now she’s mine to protect.

I keep watch from the shadows.
I kill for her in silence.

She doesn’t ask for a savior — but she gets one anyway.

The Combine wants her land.
The Boo Yahs want her tears.
And I want her on her knees, whispering my name like a prayer she finally believes in.

I’m not just her shield. I’m her war.

Touch her, and I’ll end your bloodline with my teeth.
Also, yes — I also fix her roof.

Read on for alien protector love, soulbond heat, war daddy obsession, and a heroine who learns the safest place in the galaxy is in her monster’s arms. HEA Guaranteed!
