Tempted By an Alien Warlord by Ava Ross

She hates him (not really). He hates her (not really). But when she’s kidnapped by the duskhorde, he mounts a bold rescue, only to be captured himself. Can they escape and find true love together?

Zetar: After losing my mate to the disease, I promised never to love another. Then I meet Josie. She’s full of fire, and she tests my patience. I can’t decide if I want to storm away from her or kiss her—something that’s completely forbidden. But when she’s kidnapped by the vicious duskhorde, I go after her. I’ll stop at nothing to bring her back to her daughter, though I don’t dare bring her back for myself.

Josie: When my thirteen-year-old daughter and I moved to Ferlaern, I had hoped to find love. I don’t expect to fall for a guy eleven years younger than me. I’m a thirty-eight-year-old woman, for heaven’s sakes, not a blushing teenager. But Zetar sure makes my face—and other parts of me—hot. And despite the fact that he irks the H-E-double-hockey-sticks out of me, he also makes me dream of lounging in bed with him on a Sunday morning. Then I’m kidnapped by the duskhorde. If I don’t get free, Zetar and I will never find our happy ending.
