Garyck’s Gift by Rayna Tyler

Sloane and her friends may have stopped a traitor from taking the life of the planet’s ruler, but it doesn’t mean the rest of the inhabitants are safe. The technologically advanced weapons retrieved from the wreckage of their exploration spaceship are missing, and unless they can find them soon, they’ll face a war more devastating than the last.
When Sloane sets off on a solo mission to infiltrate the enemy’s compound, Garyck is the last person she expects to show up and offer help. Never mind that the handsome warrior stole her heart, then spent weeks ignoring her. She’s got a job to do and doesn’t need the infuriating male tagging along.
Garyck is an elite warrior, a bodyguard to the ruling family, and a skilled hunter. He is committed to preventing another war and has dedicated his life to keeping others alive. Finding his mate, a beautiful human female with exceptional fighting skills and a talent for obtaining items that don’t belong to her, has never been part of his plans.
Accompanying Sloane on a dangerous mission will be easy when compared to the challenge of convincing the stubborn female that they belong together.
