“Who knows your daily routine?” Her voice is calm and slow, methodical. I know what she’s doing. She’s trying to get me to give her as much information as I can without losing sight of what matters. She needs to keep me talking so that I tell her as much as I can about the day I was taken.
Part of me is terrified and nervous.
I don’t want to talk about that day.
I don’t want to think about it.
That day was awful and terrifying. That day broke me. It was the first time I didn’t feel strong or masculine or brave. That day made me feel weaker than I’ve ever felt in my life and I never want to feel that weakness again.
“Reece,” she places her hand in mine, warming my skin with hers. “You are brave,” Sabrina whispers. “You can do this.”
“I can’t,” I whisper.
“You can,” she insists, and I open my eyes to see hers staring at mine. Then Sabrina reaches for my face and she cups it gently. “I believe in you, Reece, I believe in you.”
Somehow, when Sabrina whispers this to me, I believe it, too, if only just for a minute.

Alien Beast
He's a war hero.
She's a virgin.
He's broken.
She's perfect.
When he finds her in the midst of an alien war, Luke takes Willow for himself. He can't help it. He's never taken a prisoner alive before, but Willow is different. He needs her. He wants her. Most of all, he craves her.
Willow is a human who has the worst luck in the world. When the tour ship she's on malfunctions and crash-lands on the wrong planet, she's thrust into the middle of a war: one she has no desire to be in. With people dying all around her, Willow tries to hide, but it's too late.
She's captured by an alien beast unlike anything she’s ever seen before.
And the worst part is that after awhile, she's not so sure she wants him to let her go.
Chapter 1
Willow looked around the tiny room she was going to call home for the rest of the month. The bed was smaller than she expected, even for an interstellar cruise ship, and there were no windows. That’s what she got for trying to skimp on her trip, though. The cost of the excursion was already so high before adding luxuries like windows or extra-large beds that she had chosen not to spring for those things.
Willow had been saving for years to take this trip. She didn’t want to waste any extra cash on things she didn’t really need. Only now, as she stared at the tiny, plain space, she wondered if she had made a mistake. She’d seen Ashley’s room. It was big. There was a large, double bed covered in soft pillows and blankets. The in-room bathroom was huge, too. It was almost as big as the suite itself with a bathtub and a shower.
Willow couldn’t believe it. Her family had money, but Ashley’s was positively loaded. Willow couldn’t imagine something as spectacular as a bathtub on her trip, but then, she might as well not even think about it. She would be sharing a bathroom with several other females in her hall. She didn’t even have the pleasure of showering alone, and Ashley had a bathtub.
Placing her bag on the tiny bed, Willow walked around the room once more. It wasn’t as horrible as she thought it was at first. It was plain, to be sure, but there was a large floor-to-ceiling mirror and a little desk she could sit at when she wasn’t sleeping.
Not that Willow planned to spend much time in her room.
