Rue’s world cracks in a single, brutal moment, and then goes blessedly quiet. She wakes in a mansion that feels too grand to be kind, with no memory of who she was or what she lost. The man watching over her is magnetic, powerful, and very clear about one thing—she belongs here. He offers comfort wrapped in control, safety laced with desire, and answers only when he chooses. As Rue adjusts to her glittering new reality, flashes of emotion surface without explanation. Is she finally cherished, or simply claimed? Either way, the pull between them is impossible to ignore.

Lucy has been abducted from her bed and subjected to dreadful extraterrestrial instruments that explore and molest her most delicate regions.
She knows nothing but fear—for the alien scientist with the shielded face and long white hair, and his little grey “helpers” with their disturbingly inquisitive fingers. Stranded in the vast emptiness of space, she has nowhere to run and no one to trust... least of all the enigmatic alien studying her.
But beneath the face shield is someone Lucy never expected.
Beautiful, intelligent and dangerously sensual, he is far more than his sterile laboratory suggests. And as fear gives way to fascination—and fascination to something neither of them can resist—scientist and subject begin an experiment of an entirely different kind.
With hearts and bodies firmly intertwined, they may discover more about their two species than any probe ever could.
