VALAN'S BONDMATE:
A Warrior with a Grudge…
At thirty-one Valan Erikson is a fierce and relentless
warrior. He's never lost a battle but he's losing the war with the mating fever
raging in his body. He's accepted that his death is imminent until he's told a
compatible race of females has been found. When he discovers they're Wrothian
he refuses to take one as a mate until the Council threatens to strip him of
his warrior status.
A Female Who Wants to Escape Her Fate…
Lia ad-San's sire has arranged to trade her to, Gorm ad-Jai,
a man she despises. Before she can escape she's abducted by a fierce warrior.
Unaware that her sire caused the deaths of the Zarronian females, including
Valan's mother and twin sister, she reveals her identity and demands to be
freed.
A Complication They Didn't Expect…
Enraged to be bonded to the daughter of his most hated
enemy, Valan treats Lia as a prisoner rather than a beloved bondmate. When the
Zarronians learn her identity they demand she be punished for her sire's war
crimes. Valan realizes too late that he's endangered his mate's life. The fever
they share will keep them together but only love can make them want each other.
Excerpt
The
grip around her loosened and Lia took the opportunity to jerk her hand free and
dig her nails into his unprotected arm. Valan cursed when she left a vicious
scratch. Instead of releasing her, he tossed her onto the bed and came down on
top of her. A second later he flipped
her onto her back grabbing her wrists and shoving them over her head. Before
she could scream he covered her mouth with his. She wiggled and kicked but only
managed to hurt herself before he forced her legs to the bed and wrapped one of
his muscled legs around them. When he released her mouth she screamed. He
placed his hand over her mouth again, muffling her rage.
He
smiled. "Your eyes are the same blue as the bronze cats in the Zarronian
Mountains."
Cam
moved closer and peered down at her. She glared at him and he chuckled.
"They’re more green than blue."
"Whatever
color they are they shine with anger." Valan grinned. "Are you angry
little cat?"
Lia
wiggled. He growled and began rocking his hips against hers. She narrowed her
eyes and screeched in outraged warning then bit the side of his hand. He
cursed, squeezing her cheeks until she released him. As she drew in a deep
breath to scream he crushed her lips beneath his again, pressing her head
deeper into the pillow as he swept her open mouth with his tongue.
She
snapped her teeth together but wasn't fast enough to bite the tip of his tongue
before he jerked away.
He
locked his eyes with Lia's. "She's mean, too."
His
friend laughed and Lia opened her mouth to scream curses at him but he kissed
her again, then drew back and watched her reaction. She drew in a deep breath,
and then quickly closed it when he lowered his head toward her again.
He
grinned. "Good. I'm pleased you learn quickly. Are you smart enough to
admit defeat?"
Admit
defeat? To this barbarian who’d been dumb enough to loosen his hold on her
wrists? Lightning fast, she jerked them free and aimed for his eyes. He
captured one but the other reached its target and left several long scratches
from his cheek to his chest. He grunted with pain, then flipped her onto her
belly. His weight came down on top of her, crushing her into the mattress. His
hand slid into her hair and pushed her face into the soft pillow, effectively
muffling her screams. She struggled to raise her head.
He
ran his cheek over hers, smearing his blood on her face before he placed his
lips against her ear. "Be quiet."
She
nodded her head and he loosened his hold on her hair. Several drops of his
blood fell onto the pillow by her face. A glint of light caught her attention
and she stiffened when his friend held out a strange looking object.
"Here,
Valan. Let's get this over with."
Valan
took the injection gun, placed it against her neck and compressed the trigger.
Lia
fought the drug as it entered her system but quickly lost the battle. Closing
her eyes, she relaxed beneath him. The barbarian turned her over.
"Open
your eyes, little cat."
She
did and his serious expression made her laugh. She framed his face with her
hands then stroked her fingers over the tattoos on the sides of his head.
"You're going to be sorry." She laughed and he covered her mouth with
his hand.
"I
already am. Now, be quiet."
His growled order sent her into gales
of laughter before her vision darkened and she passed out.
