Bride of the Scarred Alien - Survivor Brides of Tajss #1

About the Book

Everyone thinks I’m too weak to survive Tajss. Then a scarred alien warrior risks everything to prove them wrong.

Years after our generation ship crashed on Tajss, humanity is still fighting for every mouthful of food, every drop of water, and every sunrise beneath the planet’s merciless twin suns.

Survival should be enough.

For me, it never has been.

I’ve spent years living beneath stronger voices, accepting every judgment from people who see someone fragile, frightened, and incapable of protecting herself.

They don’t know how tired I am of being told who I am.

When hunger threatens our settlement, I volunteer for a desperate hunt across the deadly sands. I know I may not return.

Part of me almost welcomes the possibility.

Then I meet Drazan.

The scarred Zmaj warrior is massive, dangerous, and hardened by losses he refuses to discuss. He saves my life, orders me to stay close, and seems convinced that protecting me gives him the right to make every decision.

He is about to discover how stubborn a supposedly weak human woman can be.

Drazan has already lost the female he once loved. He has no intention of opening his hearts again, especially to a fragile outsider who has no business wandering the wilderness alone.

But every time I challenge him, something fierce awakens behind his guarded eyes.

Something possessive.

Something hungry.

Something that calls me his treasure.

Forced to depend on one another, we cross a shattered world filled with vicious predators, violent sandstorms, and dangers buried beneath the dunes. Drazan teaches me how to survive Tajss.

I remind him how to live.

The longer we travel together, the harder it becomes to separate gratitude from desire or protection from something deeper. Beneath Drazan’s scars is a male who has spent years punishing himself for surviving.

Beneath my fear is a woman who refuses to remain powerless.

He believes loving again would betray everything he lost.

I’m beginning to believe walking away from him would betray everything we could become.

To claim a future together, Drazan must face the ghosts haunting him.

And I must finally decide whether I will keep living according to everyone else’s definition of strength or risk everything to claim my own.
