There are more than a few on this rig who find our relationship a violation of nature, though. And unfortunately, they don't seem too content to just judge us silently from afar.No, these Turukai are more than willing to voice their disagreements. And when they threaten not just my happy little threesome, but all of humanity as well?I might be forced to make one hell of a *drastic decision*.~*~ READER DISCRETION ADVISED: DUBCON & EXPLICIT CONTENT ~*~--This novel contains a scene of dubcon ("dubious consent", as described by medium.com as "[indicating] that consent is unknown or uncertain, and this is distinguished from consent being definitely absent.

I swear she's the next R. Lee Smith!! Her worldbuilding and cultures are always mind-blowing. Unyielding Autumn will become required reading for all scifi romance fans, mark my words. Goooooosh I'm so excited!" - Ana B. Starr"I couldn’t put it down! My husband took away my phone so I would go to sleep XD I haven’t cried this much over a book in a while and it’s not even published yet! The men are so devoted to her, even the ones that aren’t in a romantic relationship with her.” - Trena"Damn, this author went all out!! This is even more elaborate that Ruby Dixon's works! It's incredibly impressive! When I saw there were pronunciation guides and explanations of every race and language and stuff, I was literally blown away. I don't think I've come across anyone else this studious in their writing. Can't wait for Autumn's next sequel, and to read more from Relken. Amazing!!" - Melissa “If you want to fall in love with a fictional character, there is no better than Equinox. Caring, loving, reads you like an open book and allows you to grow. And even when the world comes crashing down on both of you will still find a way to adapt and be together.” - Sanda"Relken has created a world of engaging characters who come to life on the pages! I could NOT read Unyielding Autumn fast enough! The character development is intriguing and authentic, and the worldbuilding of all the different places these characters go to is outstanding. Relken never fails to amaze!" -Shelly less
