The Black Dragon — Suzzana C. Ryan

In the Dead of Space, no one can hear your screams of passion… The future is not what humans expected, it's taken major steps backwards. In the pitch-black void of space, humans try to make their way. They're no longer the dominant species. Yet, humans, especially the females, are a sought after commodity on the slave trade planets of worlds uncivilized and primitive. One devastated young woman, an auburn haired beauty, having watched her captain's head blown off, catches the eye of a Wharthon captain. She's the second in command of the fallen ship. Criton, the Wharthon captain, is an alien. His species is similar yet different he craves her blood and her sex. From the moment he sees her, his body reacts with a fierce need to taste the female, in more ways than one. Criton will lose his heart to the human warrior woman, mate with her enabling his strong attractive species to flourish and once again thrive. Jersey will find in Criton her soul mate, her equal and the love she'd never hoped to find in the black, deep frightening recesses of space.
