Synopsis

Vynn's job as a procurer of tribute brides for the Drexian Empire is simple. Take the human from Earth. Return her to the space station to be mated with a Drexian warrior. Simple and straightforward—until he snatches the wrong human from Earth. Becca's life is in the crapper. A dead-end job. A loser boyfriend. Debt up to her eyeballs. But being abducted from Earth by aliens is not what she'd call an improvement. Even if she is taken to a high-tech, holographic space station and promised a fabulous future. She might not be the Becca the Drexians intended to take, but now that she's on the space station, there's no going back to Earth. She must take a Drexian mate or be relegated to the reject section, which doesn't come with a luxurious fantasy suite or all the perks of being a tribute bride. But how can she agree to marry a total stranger? Vynn needs to make up for his mistake or he'll never advance up the Drexian ranks. His task? To convince Becca to accept the Drexian warrior they've picked for her. But the more time he spends with the intriguing female, the harder it is to convince himself she should belong to anyone but him. Can Vynn push aside his feelings and do his duty or will be risk his career for a human he barely knows? This prequel novella to the Tribute Brides of the Drexian Warriors series contains steamy scenes on a holographic space station, gorgeous alien warriors, a feisty heroine, and a guaranteed HEA.
