The Alien’s Bite by Ella Blake

Kora
My nightmares didn’t prepare me for this.
Abducted off the space station where I teach the standard galactic language, I’m imprisoned with two other women in a cold, dirty cell on an alien ship. We’re destined for something worse than death until a fierce, blue-haired alien male rescues us. We recover on his ship with his group of Heveian pirates. There, the attraction that formed when he first carried me in his arms grows into a force neither of us can deny. But something else has taken up residence on the ship. Something that will stop at nothing to destroy us all.

Ryland
I was trained from my royal youth to fight. Even here, as a rogue raider in exile with my rebellious friends, it’s the role I play, until I hold Kora in my arms. She makes my fangs ache. She makes everything ache. My protective instincts roar as I vow to protect my mate against any who would harm her. But how can I protect her from an enemy so insidious that it can turn our crew against each other? I will keep Kora safe, even if it means the ultimate sacrifice.
