Ssly by Alana Khan

Mysterious hover-chariot racer Ssly believes he’s destined to compete in the dangerous sport until the inevitable day his luck runs out. The only thing fueling his will to live is his need to protect his adopted human daughter, Tru.
Until he meets the beautiful human female who challenges his every belief, won’t accept his aloof indifference, and marches into hell with him to prove her love.

Carrie:
An abducted human slave deemed too old to mate escapes to the far end of the galaxy, but has no prospects and no way home. She’s drawn to the mysterious male who keeps his face covered and his head down. He wants little to do with her until he discovers she holds the key to saving his daughter.

Ssly:
Abducted from his planet at the barrel of a laser and forced into slavery, he risked everything to rescue the defenseless human child about to be subjected to his master’s perversions. He kept her safe while on the run until she’s injured. Now he needs the help of the human woman whose interest in him becomes far too personal. Why would she risk her life to save them both? And why can’t he keep her out of his dreams?

Journey with Ssly and Carrie as they travel the galaxy, race a hover-chariot, steal an expensive painting, buy illegal guns, survive a shootout, kill more than one bad guy, save a life, and discover all the ways a prehensile tail can be put to good use. *wink*
