The Barbarian’s Reluctant Mate by Celia Kent

Alice Maury is a down-on- her-luck girl trapped in a dead end life. Just when the going gets too tough to deal with, the curvy waitress happens upon a mail order bride ad promising a fortune in return for a relatively short time commitment. It’s a risk, but it’s her only shot of getting out of her desperate situation.

What Alice doesn’t realize is that the man who placed the notice is out of this world — literally. Soon, she finds herself whisked away to a faraway planet to become the wife of the powerful, dashing Prince Davios. But becoming the princess of an alien planet isn’t as romantic as it sounds. Alice finds herself thrust into a dangerous game amidst a new culture with confusing and often barbarous customs. She must keep a cool head if she’s ever going to get home — or even survive. However, she’s not alone. As time passes, Alice realizes that she might have an unlikely ally in the form of her muscular, alpha male of a prince.

What she doesn’t realize is that her gentle, earthly ways have utterly fascinated this galactic warrior… and he will do everything in his power to protect her from any peril.
