Jamirr by Veronica Scott

His memories gone, mistreated and abused by a series of owners, Jamirr knows only that he won’t give in and become a fighter in the savage arenas of the galaxy. He refuses to give his so-called masters the satisfaction. Destined for a grim fate in the mines, he waits to die.
Raised by a gladiator father to become an arena warrior from the time she was old enough to hold a wooden sword, Samyra inherited his struggling gladiatorial house and has carved out a career as the ruthless Beast Lady. Looking for new fighters she knows she should pass Jamirr by. He’s nothing but trouble and untrainable. Something about him won’t let her walk away and she takes the risk of adding him to her team.
Despite himself Jamirr has a growing loyalty and attraction to the Beast Lady. He’s drawn to the caring woman underneath the savage exterior she presents to the world. But she has secrets that threaten them both and he still has no idea what kind of past his amnesia is concealing. He knows he’s not human, not with claws and fangs, yet he loves a human woman.
Will he fight for her? Could a gladiator and his mistress ever become mates and equals? And will the arrival of a group of men like him known as Badari create opportunities for freedom or destroy the life Jamirr’s carved out?
