Tornn's Mate
by Sue Lyndon
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
If you like your alien romances dark, possessive, and absolutely filthy, Tornn delivers. The worldship premise adds genuine stakes — humanity is literally dying — and the power exchange is front and center rather than tiptoeing around it.
Synopsis
Given to an alien brute. Forced to become his bride... The rundown human worldship is a bleak place, but it’s my home and it’s where all the people I care about live. My mother, my sister, my students, and my sweet fiancé, Nathan. I never imagined I’d be forced to leave... forced to become the mate of a barbaric Darrvason admiral. But the survival of humankind hangs in the balance, and I’m not the only woman whose life has been upended. Over two thousand young women are set to be handed over to the powerful aliens in exchange for fuel, repairs, and assistance in reaching a habitable planet. Payment. That’s what we are, and we have no choice. My new husband, Admiral Tornn, is a huge, musclebound beast who expects my absolute obedience. In his culture, I’m little more than his property. But to my shock, he awakens a yearning within me unlike anything I’ve ever known, and his firm punishments and savage lovemaking are causing me to question everything I’ve been taught. Publisher’s Note: Tornn’s Mate is a dark romance that includes power exchange, spankings, and intense sexual scenes. Please do not purchase or read this book if such material offends you.
