Deceived by Kallista Dane

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A bestseller in the making.
All I have to do is mate with an alien warrior, track down a mysterious beast, and befriend the other Brides then betray their trust. To get here, I signed a contract that gives my new mate the right to punish me when I break his rules.

Big mistake. Turns out he doesn’t like being deceived.
I’ve gone undercover before, writing about child labor in third-world countries, greedy corporations plundering the Amazon rainforest. I poured my heart and soul into my work—and got ignored. People don’t buy books that make them feel guilty and powerless. They want a big dose of sex with their scandals.

This time I’m going for the money. A new world touted as a paradise, with a savage beast lurking in the shadows. Human females lured into becoming breeders. Sex slaves punished at the whim of stern alien masters. Age play, menage—rumor has it anything goes on Centauri. That’s why I volunteered for the BridesP rogram. I’m taking notes, interviewing everyone I can.
My alien mate seems like a nice guy, even if his skin is a weird color. He believes in honor, decency, mating for life—and telling the truth. When he found out I’d been planning all along to leave at the end of the trial period, he was upset, to put it mildly.
Bad news—I’m stuck here for 30 days.
Good news—I have lots of new material for my chapter on getting punished by an alien warrior.
