Alien Samurai by Veronica Dean

Wyla
From successful astrophysicist to captive of a brutal alien samurai; where did I go wrong?
I have some advice for anyone reading this: if you’re ever offered the opportunity to jump head-first into a black hole with a team of amazing but obviously self-destructive women, just stay home and read a book instead.
Maybe things wouldn’t be quite so bad if we weren’t all separated from each other in the void. Once I’ve landed on the other side in this strange, terrifying world, I’m on my own. Well, not entirely.

The first life form I discover is a scaly, insanely ripped giant massacring a group of his own kind with a lit-up samurai sword. He’s covered in the blood of his enemies and now he’s coming for me. I can’t outrun him and my bullets bounce off his chest. It’s not really fair, is it?
I need to find the others and complete my mission, but this alien warrior won’t let me leave his lair. He has declared that I will be his mate, I hope that doesn’t mean what I think it does. I know that every minute that passes could be a matter of life and death, but there’s no escape.
The way he touches me, his brute power…I feel myself falling under his spell. The more I get to know the person beneath the savage, the more I start to fear that not only am I unable to leave, but I don’t even want to.
