Summary
Can a runaway bride and an escaped alien prisoner find sanctuary together？
Darla’s life changed forever the day the aliens invaded Earth。 Her worthless father and shiftless brother have used the presence of the Yehrin as an excuse to keep her under their control。 Their latest scheme？ Marry her off to one of their equally disgusting cronies as part of a business arrangement。
Desperate to get away， Darla turns to the Yehrin for help。 When she’s offered a breeding contract on a planet far from Earth， she seizes the opportunity。 But her escape goes terribly wrong when the spaceship taking her to her potential mate explodes - and she is stranded with a dangerous alien warrior。
T’pak thought that his post on Earth would be a new beginning。 Instead， his past follows him。 Sent home in disgrace - and chains - he has little to look forward to except visits from the shy little human who stumbles across his holding place。
When they are stranded on an unknown planet， his duty is clear: protect Darla from all danger， including his growing desire for her。
But T’pak’s past and Darla’s future are on a collision course - and once again he will have to choose between his duty and his desire。
This sweet and steamy romance is a standalone novel set in the Alien Invasion universe and is intended for mature readers。
A version of this story was previously published in the Claimed Among the Stars anthology。

Darla is stuck in a life of drudgery with her overbearing father。 Her fears and concerns are portrayed so realistically that I felt as if someone I knew was being mistreated and I wanted to offer her comfort and support。 Being faced with an arranged marriage to a repulsive friend of her ne'er-do-well brother， and with limited alternatives， she makes the courageous decision to travel off-world to seek her fortune with an unknown male who contracts to bring her to Yehr， the home planet of the alie Darla is stuck in a life of drudgery with her overbearing father。 Her fears and concerns are portrayed so realistically that I felt as if someone I knew was being mistreated and I wanted to offer her comfort and support。 Being faced with an arranged marriage to a repulsive friend of her ne'er-do-well brother， and with limited alternatives， she makes the courageous decision to travel off-world to seek her fortune with an unknown male who contracts to bring her to Yehr， the home planet of the aliens who recently conquered Earth。 Her social isolation and inexperience haven't prepared her for space travel or meeting new species， so she feels bewildered and confounded by her new surroundings。 She is befriended by T'Pak， a proud and honorable Yehrin warrior， imprisoned for crimes he didn't commit and being shipped home for a rigged trial。 Their mutual attraction escalates quickly， and when their transport ship mysteriously explodes， they share an escape pod that maroons them on a planet where they can start a new life together as mates。 But their troubles aren't over quite yet， and they must find a way to gain acceptance in the local community and overcome the danger to T'Pak as a wanted man。 Both Darla and T'Pak are fighting against situations over which they have little control， and where the authority figures play by their own rules。 Luckily， there are still individuals， both human and Yehrin， who are willing to help them。 I found the main characters well-drawn and the story exciting and uplifting。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

This was a great book。 I loved the interactions these two had before they got stuck together。 Not that either minded being stuck together。 Plus the added nagging feeling that Darlas intended is T’pak’s nemesis。 These two needed each other。

This was a quick spicy read and I quite enjoyed every minute of it。 Darla was a lovable FMC who you just wanted to hug and protect; which is so great when we meet T'pak because he was so dominant， protective， and caring。 I really loved him and was partially jealous of Darla。。。。lucky duck she was。。。。lol。 The story flowed quickly and kept you entertained which is nice for a novella， and I love that you can pick this up as a stand-alone but the entire series is great too。 If you're looking for a sp This was a quick spicy read and I quite enjoyed every minute of it。 Darla was a lovable FMC who you just wanted to hug and protect; which is so great when we meet T'pak because he was so dominant， protective， and caring。 I really loved him and was partially jealous of Darla。。。。lucky duck she was。。。。lol。 The story flowed quickly and kept you entertained which is nice for a novella， and I love that you can pick this up as a stand-alone but the entire series is great too。 If you're looking for a spicy quick alien read then grab this one！ 。。。more

This book is impossible to put down！ Right from the first chapter， as Darla makes her escape， you are drawn to her character。 She's young and innocent but being controlled by the people who should have been looking out for her。 T'pak was also being railroaded， so they had that in common。 But right from their first sight， they made an impossible connection！ From then on， the story grows， her silent benefactor always in the background of the story with ample foreshadowing to keep the dramatic tens This book is impossible to put down！ Right from the first chapter， as Darla makes her escape， you are drawn to her character。 She's young and innocent but being controlled by the people who should have been looking out for her。 T'pak was also being railroaded， so they had that in common。 But right from their first sight， they made an impossible connection！ From then on， the story grows， her silent benefactor always in the background of the story with ample foreshadowing to keep the dramatic tension tight。 This love story seemed doomed from the start， but still， it grew steadily。 I love that about Honey Phillips's books， her characters face their struggles but love always blossoms in random harsh environments。 The book has ample action and a steadily building love story， it's absolutely impossible to stop reading it once you start！ 。。。more

To her father and brother， Darla is nothing more than a commodity。 She is their maid， cook， cleaner and general dogsbody。 If it weren't for the fact that they also collect her wages and use them for their own pleasures she wouldn't be allowed to work。 She does have one friend though， one who prepared to help Darla do all she needs to escape。 The only real option is a breeding contract with an alien but it will at least get her off the planet。 T'pak is a warrior。 He knows battle but that has not To her father and brother， Darla is nothing more than a commodity。 She is their maid， cook， cleaner and general dogsbody。 If it weren't for the fact that they also collect her wages and use them for their own pleasures she wouldn't be allowed to work。 She does have one friend though， one who prepared to help Darla do all she needs to escape。 The only real option is a breeding contract with an alien but it will at least get her off the planet。 T'pak is a warrior。 He knows battle but that has not changed him from the honourable male he has always been。 He followed his given orders but when things went wrong he tried to set it right only to find himself taken prisoner for his actions。 He is being sent back to Yehr for a trial only he has no illusions about it。 What he did not expect was the gentle human to show such compassion for one such as him。 So as the ship starts explode he knows he must get her to safety。 He cannot allow her to be hurt in any way。 Good thing she's tiny or they wouldn't both fit in the escape pod！I loved Darla。 Despite all that has happened to her she did not hold bitterness to towards others， only those who deserved it。 She had a quiet strength to her which was just wonderful。 As for T'pak for all his position he still was determined to do right by Darla and be as honourable as he has always been。 。。。more

True love prevails！Darla is such a brave woman！ To escape from a less than stellar family situation， she joins the mating program taking her to a world new to her。 I love the instant sense of attraction between Darla and T’pak， and the manner in which they get to know each other better。 What an adventure！ Unfortunately， rescue doesn’t mean safety。 Wait until you see what happens。 But， don’t worry - all will end well for our feisty heroine and her wrongly maligned hero！
