Queen Maker’s Bride by C.J. Scarlett

Chasing after their seventeen-year-old alien crazy-sister, Helena and Alexis find themselves the unlucky stowaways aboard a Terillian freighter bound for the Sylon home world. Accepting that their lives are never going to be the same, they are consoled by the fact that at least they are together.

When the freighter is attacked by a rogue Maruvian queen, bent on pillaging her way across their sector, the women find themselves mired in a complicated web of alien deceit and political intrigue. It becomes difficult to tell who they can trust among the shifting alliances of the drones.

Between provoking a mating frenzy with a handsome queen maker and chasing behind her precocious sister to keep her out of trouble, Helena makes a terrible miscalculation that could cost them their lives. The unusual situation comes to a head when the queen discovers them and Helena must find a way to defeat the queen before she kills them and the drones protecting them. With the clock ticking, Helena is facing a no-win scenario against a terrifying opponent who is twice her size and was practically born with a blade in her hand.
