Return of the Alien Warrior by Honey Phillips

She chose to become a mother. He never expected to be a father.

When Dr. Melissa Desai chose to become a single mother, she expected challenges. She didn’t expect to be stolen from Earth and sold to a secret facility on an alien world.

Now her body is a resource.
Her child is a prize.
And trust could cost her everything.

Surrounded by enemies, can she believe the massive alien warrior who promises to save her?
Captain Becsul nak’Larentar knows the Cire race is dying. When he volunteers for a classified research program, he believes he’s helping secure his people’s future.
He’s wrong.
When he sees a beautiful, defiant female and her child, and discovers the truth behind the program, everything changes.
Because a Cire warrior never turns away from what is his to protect.
As danger closes in, Becsul must choose—remain loyal to his world… or claim the family he never expected.
