His to Hunt (Xaal Hunter Alien Romance Book 1)

She spared his life. Now he's come to take hers.

Seven years ago, Vessa made the worst—or perhaps the best—mistake of her life. With her plasma dirk pressed to Kedar's throat, she chose mercy over justice, walking away from a challenge that Xaal law demanded end in blood. She cost him everything: his honor, his standing, his clan's respect. And she's been running from the consequences ever since.

Kedar has never stopped hunting her. Among the Xaal, an unfinished challenge is an open wound, and he intends to close it. When he finally tracks Vessa to a hostile ice planet at the edge of explored space, victory feels inevitable—until a brutal blizzard buries them both in a cave, side by side, with nowhere left to run.

Trapped in the dark with the man who destroyed her world and the woman who shattered his pride, old wounds tear open faster than either of them expected. But so does something more dangerous. Because seven years of hatred, grief, and burning resentment have a way of looking a lot like something else when survival forces two people close enough to share warmth.

Outside, horrifying creatures stalk the ice. Inside, the tension between hunter and prey grows impossible to ignore.

Kedar came to finish the hunt. Vessa refuses to be anyone's prey. Neither of them planned on what comes next.

*His to Hunt* is an action-packed, dark sci-fi romance that earns every degree of heat it generates.
