Addison Monroe has dedicated her life to studying the Karuvar, striving to bridge the gap between their longevity and that of her fellows humans.

Once involved in a flagship project to manipulate Karuvar genes, he’s spent every waking hour trying to prove that the Karuvar’s greatest strength--their ability to adapt--may be slowly killing them.

To have any hope of bringing down a common foe, Rhavos and Ren are forced to trust each other. For the first time in her life, Ren learns to rely on someone other than herself, placing the protection of her mind and body in the very capable--and very talented--hands of an alpha male who would eviscerate anyone who even looks at her the wrong way. But even the strongest bonds will be tested as the Karuvar face a new threat. And when tragedy strikes, Ren and Rhavos are put to the ultimate test: Betray their people, or stand together no matter the consequences? Rhavos is the third novel in the Warriors of the Karuvar sci-fi romance series. It features a super-protective alpha alien hero, a badass hacker heroine, and explicit scenes not suitable for the feint of heart! less
