Claimed: Special Illustrated Edition

The Kindred made a deal with the Earth…protection for mates. Olivia just didn’t know she’d be part of the price. Olivia Waterhouse has just graduated from nursing school and has her whole life ahead of her—until she gets drafted. Problem is, she isn’t being forced into the Army, she’s been chosen as an Alien warrior’s bride and she has no say in the matter. Baird is a huge, muscular Beast Kindred. Wounded and angry after being imprisoned and tortured by his enemies, he’s finally free to claim his bride, only to find that she’s determined to return to her life on Earth. He has one month to win over the curvy little human. Each week the Kindred courtship rituals allow him to touch her more and more intimately – the Holding Week, the Bathing Week, The Tasting Week… But the more he gets attached to her, the harder it will be to let her go if she refuses to stay and be his bride. —- ISBN: 9798326654830
