The Alien Jungle Warlord's Bride

by A.V. Wilcott

Tropes: slowburn, forcedproximity, firstperson

I crashed on his planet. He found me in the wreckage. Claimed me as his bride. Now the most dangerous warlord in the jungle says I'm his. And his jungle agrees. I'm Elena Parks. Trauma nurse. Engineer. I flew twenty survivors off a dying planet and kept us alive through a crash-landing on an alien world. Twenty women. Twenty different biomes. Twenty alien rulers who claimed us after we arrived. Coincidence? I don't think so. I've survived worse than an alien claiming ceremony. But I wasn't prepared for Rythar. Seven feet of genetically engineered alpha male. Warlord of the Green Reach, where every vine, every predator, every living thing obeys his command. He wanted me before fate ever paired us. Now a mate bond I didn't ask for burns through my skin every time he touches me. His jungle wraps around me like it's trying to keep me. And when an enemy warlord steals me from his fortress, Rythar tears through an army to get me back. I should be focused on finding my friends. Instead, I'm falling in love with an alien who claimed me as his bride. But Rythar knows more than he's telling. And the more I learn about Xytheos, the more our crash feels less like an accident and more like an alien abduction. The Alien Jungle Warlord's Bride is a steamy alien romance with a possessive alpha alien warlord, fated mates, captive-bride dynamic, forced proximity, crash-landing survival, and a dangerous alien whose jungle kills for him but kneels for her. Perfect for fans of Ruby Dixon, Zoey Draven, and Tana Stone. Each book in the Starfallen Brides of Xytheos series is a complete romance, but the Starfallen Brides' story is just beginning—and the conspiracy runs deeper than any of them know. Intended for adults age 18+. Contains on-page violence, captivity, and possessive themes. [Read More]
