Alien Escape — Dena Christy

Evie Valencia has spent years hiding herself away from love, in the guise of helping women on the planet Nova Earth. The man she loved was murdered years ago, and she's determined to protect her heart at all cost. That plan is turned upside down when the Latrothian warrior she helped escape from a military prison walks into her life. Cynric is tall, dark and gorgeous, all things Evie thinks are not what she wants. How then can she explain the intense attraction she has for him?

Cynric Tronstad feels the burden of getting his men and their women off the planet they are trapped on. He doesn't have time to find a mate, something he gave up on having a long time ago. But from the moment he sees Evie he wants to know her intimately, despite his inability to make any promise of a future with her.

As Evie helps Cynric and his men in their race toward freedom, her desire for him becomes too much to resist. And as she gets deeper into her passion for him she faces the choice to embrace what has grown between them or keep her heart from the hurt that will come when he finally finds his way home.
