Alien Victor by Ursa Dax

“I found her, I saved her, and once I am Gahn, I will claim her. There will be no other tribe left for her but me…”

JOCELYN
I’ve identified an herb that acts as birth control for us humans on the alien planet we now call home. The only problem? We’re running out. We need more, and apparently the only place you can get it is one of the most deadly regions on this whole planet – the Death Plains. So I slot myself into a group of warriors travelling there to meet the new Gahn there.
Except everything falls apart as soon as we reach the Death Plains, and I’m separated from the men I came with. My only lifeline out in this hellscape is the arrogant, brooding warrior Razek who saves me from certain death.
Razek claims he will become Gahn, warlord of the Death Plains. It’s all he’s ever wanted. Well, all I want is to get out of here and see my friends again, hopefully bringing Razek back at the same time to join our new alliance.
But the more time I spend isolated with this proud warrior, the more complicated things become. And the more the heated tension between us thickens, the more it seems like becoming Gahn isn’t the only thing he cares about…
But Razek refuses to travel back to the settlement with me, trapping me in the Death Plains.
No matter how much my feelings for him grow, I refuse to be his prisoner.
I control my own fate. Even if, around Razek, I can’t control my heart.

RAZEK
I have only ever worked to achieve one goal: become the strongest of my tribe and rule as Gahn. I had almost reached this destiny when a strange, loud woman crashes into my life, confounding everything I know. Jozelyn is a spur in my side and a tiny fist around my heart. The Lavrika has not called me, but the longer we are together, the less I can fight my desire for her. Suddenly, becoming Gahn does not seem like my only, or even my most important, destiny.
But the stubborn Jozelyn refuses to stay in the Death Plains with my tribe. Infuriatingly, she wishes to return to the arms of my enemies. Even worse than that? She wants me to come with her and submit to their alliance.
I would rather die than bow my head to the other Gahns.
I must convince Jozelyn that I am her mate, her fate, and her future. The only one she needs.
Even if it pushes her further from me than ever.
