Bound: A Sci-Fi Alien Romance

Feral and deadly, this alien gladiator is here to protect...not claim me for himself.

The alien virus I caught after I was taken from Earth has left me a shadow of my former self. The only saving grace, my voice is unaffected, but it means I’m the songstress to a wealthy alien who keeps me like a canary in a gilded cage.

Then, after someone attempts to assassinate him, he employs a gruff, grumpy former Gryn gladiator as his personal bodyguard. Rych is intimidating and handsome in equal measure, with a penchant for training outside my window in the early morning, all muscles, feathers and very little in the way of clothing.

I might be able to sing, but speaking to him is a different matter entirely, and I’m sure a virtual god like Rych wouldn’t want a broken thing like me anyway.

Until the assassin strikes again and I find myself stuck in a cave with a massive feathered gladiator who is too hot for words. As we attempt to get back to Tatatunga and he takes care of me without making me feel like a burden, I find myself falling more and more for my big brooding bodyguard.

Until I discover the truth about the virus infecting me and if we don’t find a cure, then not only will I lose him, I'll lose my life.

And I'm not ready to die yet.

Bound is a grumpy bodyguard romance with a delicious alien twist from USA Today Bestselling Author Hattie Jacks. You're going to want to dust off your vocal chords and get practicing your scales in order to attract your very own Gryn warrior!
