Tempted by the Alien Commander

Tempted by the Alien Commander is messy in the best way. Cherise signed up as a companion for alien troops and discovered she was really part of a breeding program, and Commander Azrael is a celibate leader who lost his mate and blames himself. When a rebellion throws them together on a remote planet, their fated bond kicks in and neither of them handles it gracefully. Stone writes flawed characters you root for anyway.
