Truo by Maia Starr

Vera is a captive. Truo must betray his alien warrior leader to protect her…

Vera must obey the ruthless alien leader Cyro or he will kill her husband. She is alone in the alien Corillion galaxy in a fortress on a floating asteroid, but holds on to the hope that she will see her husband again. With no friends to call her own, she can’t help but notice the Corillion that keeps eyeing her, a young warrior named Truo who is second leader in command. What he has to tell her is a secret that will shatter her existence and drive her into his arms.

Truo Seeduon is an alien warrior with many secrets. He is a true and honorable Corillion, but when his leader steps out of line he knows that he must step up and take his place, but doing so is treachery and will result in his death and the death of the human female he has befriended, Vera Rodanthee. He must risk his life to protect her and keep his entire tribe from extinction. When Vera finds out that Truo has been keeping a secret from her, she no longer trust him, but she has a secret of her own that will cause Cyro to hunt them down or die trying. No one is safe.
