Iced by Arcadia Shield

A broken warrior puts everything on the line to save the woman he loves.

Rexx is an oddity. Held prisoner for months by a brutal enemy, he’s damaged, and he’s not sure he’ll ever heal. His job on the Apocalypse should have been easy. And it was until he got assigned a feisty human biologist to protect. He has to have her, but he isn’t even good enough to shine her boots. Being around Daisy is enough. She makes him feel alive. But he wants so much more…
Daisy Roebuck’s days are filled with crucial conservation work. She doesn’t have time to deal with her elusive, overly-protective partner. Rexx is a mystery. He’s more machine than alien. But he’s always protecting her. And he stirs something inside her…
When Daisy discovers she’s been implanted with alien tech, she freaks out. Her team sees her as a threat, and she’s imprisoned. When all hope is lost, Rexx saves her.
On the run, desperate, and isolated, they only have each other. Defenses crumble, and desire takes over. But the threats are closing in. If they can’t figure out how to remove the tech, Daisy will be lost forever, and Rexx will be destroyed.
