Book Description:
After being enslaved on
the spaceship Extarga
for most of her life Analia has no memory of her life before, and has
lost all knowledge of her people. Her mysterious gift and pointed
ears are the only indication that she is different.
Analia is alone, and for all she knows, she's the last of her kind. By chance Analia escapes her captors, and hides herself on the merchant ship Marada, planning to get off at the very next stop.
Unfortunately for her, there is no next stop. The crew is planning a delivery that could take months, and according to a stipulation in the newly signed contract, no one is allowed on or off the ship until the package is delivered.
When Analia is found by the captain of the Marada, she must adapt to her new role on the ship, and try to control her newly awakened desire for the brutal and devastatingly erotic demon.

Excerpt:
Anya watched Sebastian from the corner of her eye as he
went to work cleaning away the blood. He was focused and intent on
his task, but couldn't seem to stop touching her in little ways.
Softly brushing her hair, her shoulder, her hip. Was he checking her
for further injuries? It seemed more intimate than that. It was
almost as if he didn't even realize he was doing it.
His
tenderness with her was astonishing. While he was focused on wiping
the blood from her cut, Anya allowed herself to study him closer. He
seemed calm now, though his energy was still erratic.
When he had
first returned, still resembling the monster, it had terrified her.
He'd still been enraged, much more so, it seemed. And not for the
first time, she'd thought he might hurt her.
But when his
eyes had found hers, he'd visibly relaxed, instantly morphing back
into the Bastian she recognized.
With a
gentleness contradictory to the man standing before her, he cleaned
her wound. By his soft pats and concerned looks, she knew now that he
would never hurt her. She felt silly for ever thinking otherwise.
He'd shown her nothing but kindness from the beginning.
“You're
not frightened of me anymore?” he asked without averting his gaze
from the cut on her cheek.
He was
almost completely back to normal now. His horns were returning to
their original dark black, and his fangs had receded. Thinking back
to his other form, she couldn't muster the terror it had inspired in
the first place. “No,” she said simply.
“So
easily?”
“You make
it hard to fear you, Sebastian, when you treat me the way you do.”
“And how's
that then?”
“Like you
would never hurt me, no matter how angry you are, or how much you
might want to.”
His golden
eyes locked on hers with such intensity it stole her breath. “I
would never want to hurt you.” Cupping her face, he rubbed his
thumb along her unmarked cheek. “I could never hurt you. If
anything ever happened to you, I fear I will be trapped on the Edge
forever.” Leaning in, he lightly kissed her bruise. “I think of
you constantly.” He kissed her forehead. “Always.” Then with
the lightest touch, he kissed her lips.
With words
so sweet, Anya couldn't help but lean into him. This wasn't the
demanding kiss from before. This was soft, smooth, tender. This time
he allowed her to explore him at her leisure. His lips were soft and
warm, molded to hers, and she caressed them.
Her second
real kiss ever was turning out to be the most erotic experience of
her life. Sebastian was watching her with his liquid gold eyes,
filled with restrained lust as he let her place soft kisses on him.
When she
darted out her tongue, he dropped his hands to her hips, his body
wedging between her legs. The second time she darted her tongue to
lick his sweet lips, he opened, his tongue meeting hers.
From deep
within him, she heard the rumblings of a satisfied groan. The mere
sound stroked her own lust, and she instinctively dug her nails into
his shoulders. Liquid pooled between her legs. Bastian's grip
tightened in her hips.
“Let me
taste you,” he grated.
