Prodigal by Tana Stone

Dark. Deadly. Vengeful. The terrifying Vandar raiders with their menacing warbirds, lethal battle axes, and slashing tails are back—and they’re on the hunt for revenge.
Life as a female fighter pilot with the Valox resistance isn’t always easy, but it gets much worse when my ship dies on a solo mission. Then worse still when I’m rescued by hulking, bare-chested aliens who are nothing like the Vandar I fought with against the empire. The Vandar horde that snatches me from my ship might wear the battle kilts and inked skin of their counterparts, but they have no intention of treating me like an ally—or releasing me.
With platinum hair and dark hearts set on dominance and retribution, the raiders who capture me are what they call Kyrie Vandar—The Lost Vandar—raiders whose ancestors were exiled from the galaxy. Now they’ve returned to exact revenge on the Vandar who rejected them.
The horde’s warlord, Raas Ronnan, is certain that a female pilot who fought alongside the Vandar is the perfect pawn to lure them into a trap. He’s also convinced that forcing me to share his quarters and bed will provoke my cooperation. But the fearsome warlord has underestimated me and my ability to be coerced–or seduced.
I’m determined to escape, even as the Vandar brute eyes me like tempting prey. But can I slip from Ronnan’s velvet snare the more I learn about him and his adrift horde? Or will I end up becoming just as lost as the tortured Vandar warlord who stirs the depths of my soul?
