Alien Captive Mate by Penelope Woods

She is my mate. But I’ll always be her warrior.

Deep space is a nightmare.
I’m the only cadet aboard this starship. My superiors trusted me and a few higher ranked leaders to transport an alien prisoner, one of the most powerful warriors in the universe.
We won’t let them down. Unless I fall in love with him…
That’s not going to happen. Right?

When I see him in the interrogation room, muscles rolling like hills of granite, I fear the worst. His eyes are darker than wine, and his smile is captivating. They want me to take this guy to the worst prison in the outer cosmos, but I’m starting to think that’s a bad idea.
He’s not a criminal. He was born a warrior.

And there is nothing like his touch.
