Something she shouldn't be feeling for a wealthy, arrogant Craeshen who wouldn't give a little nothing thief like her a second glance. Certainly she shouldn't have feelings for a man who sees her as a street boy, a thief, and worse, a Drimuti--the race he hates.Instead of sending her to the authorities as planned, he changes his mind and decides to take her to the badlands to teach her lessons and skills that will help her become a "man," and she knows it's only a matter of time before he discovers her secret.Her only hope is to escape him and his men and find her way back to the city so she can disappear and never see him again.♥♥♥Dex Tavin is losing his mind.He is not attracted to men, yet when the little street thief attempts to run and he is forced to give chase, a primitive part of him awakens and he realizes suddenly that he's attracted to the boy. Worse, apparently this thieving street kid--this Drimuti--is his fated mate. Fate can take a flying leap.If you like alien fated mate books with a slow burn and lots of heart, you'll love Jude Gray's Alien Conquest, book 2 in the Fated Mates of Xaensskar alien romance series! less
