Xylar's Bioluminescent Bond

A lone survivor on an uncharted world. A magnificent alien warrior who is her only salvation. But the price of rescue may be her soul.

Dr. Eva Rostova is a scientist, a botanist who prefers the quiet solitude of her work to the complexities of human connection. When her exploration vessel crash-lands on a deadly jungle planet, her years of training are useless against the overwhelming, primal certainty that she is no longer the observer. She is the prey. Every shadow is a threat, every guttural cry a promise of a savage death. Stranded and alone, her only hope for survival is a beacon she fears no one will ever answer.

But someone does.

Xylar is not like any creature she has ever encountered. Magnificent, powerful, and terrifyingly beautiful, he seems to be a master of this hostile world. He offers her protection, a path to safety in his hidden enclave. But Xylar is hiding a secret of his own—a deep, ancient wound that has left him on the verge of fading into nothingness. He is as much a survivor as Eva, and he sees in her a connection his very being craves.

Drawn into his world of breathtaking beauty and dangerous secrets, Eva finds herself faced with a shocking choice. To bond with him means a surrender of her mind, body, and soul—an intimate connection so complete it defies everything she has ever known. It is a forbidden desire, a thrilling and tantalizing glimpse into a life of shared emotion and unbridled passion. But this bond is a double-edged sword. It is a promise of a love that transcends worlds, but also a trap from which there is no escape.

Can Eva trust this magnificent creature and surrender to the sensual new reality he offers? Or will the price of her survival be a sacrifice more devastating than death itself?
