Bound to the Marak by Callia Silver

Leonie never expected her quiet life as a nurse in London to end with her being abducted by aliens and sold at an intergalactic auction. But when a masked figure shatters the frenzy with a single word and claims her as his own, everything changes.

She’s taken aboard his ship, given luxurious quarters—and watched. Touched only with care, but owned completely. He speaks in a strange, lyrical tongue. He never removes his mask. And yet, his presence wraps around her like gravity.
Leonie doesn’t know who—or what—he truly is. But one thing is certain: he’s not just powerful. He’s dangerous.
As desire begins to blur the line between captor and companion, Leonie must decide if she’s falling under a spell… or stepping into something deeper.
Because whatever he is, he isn’t letting her go.
Not now. Not ever.
