Hunter Forbidden — Nola Robertson

A cowboy on Tarron? Unbelievable. Nyssa Dakros, potential hunter in training and dignitary escort, was tired of dealing with males who were only interested in her because of her family's high-ranking status. And she absolutely refused -- no matter how much a male persisted -- to be claimed by one that wasn't her destined mate. An annoying situation made worse by her mother's interference and constant insistence that she choose from a group of undesirable men. When the circumstances surrounding the recent attacks on the vessels delivering ore from Rivean heat up, Dawson Walker, a quadrant security contractor, finds himself protecting the Earth ambassador on Tarron. The last thing he expected was to have an exasperating -- trouble seems to follow everywhere -- woman fall into his arms…literally. Rescued from a forced claiming attempt, Nyssa discovers the gorgeous human male who saved her is also her mate. How can she explain to someone who doesn't understand or experience the primal instincts and urges of her people that he is meant to be with her forever?
