Vyken by Starr Huntres

“I have taken down more enemies than anyone else I’ve ever met. I was named after the Firosan word for bloodlust.
And yet this human in front of me … she is making me wonder for the first time if that’s enough.”

Vyken is one of the greatest warriors in the galaxy. No, the universe. Though Vyken was hesitant at first to accept the responsibility of General in the Firosan military, he was sent on his first real mission … and then the rest is a blank. He doesn’t remember a thing. But when he returns to his home planet, Paxia, his King wants him to answer for crimes so gruesome he couldn’t have even conceived of them.
This fearsome, trusted warrior has gone from an honored general to a dangerous fugitive in the space of the blink of an eye. And now Vyken, just like his name suggests, is truly out for blood.
When clues lead him to a shapely human female on a planet named Earth, Vyken’s life heads in a direction he could never have expected. He expects to find answers, but instead he finds that maybe companionship isn’t so bad after all.

“Maybe cutting all ties and faking my own death wasn’t a great idea after all. Who knew?”

Roxie can’t handle the idea that she might be promised to a vicious alien warlord. She’s a chameleon, can blend in anywhere out of necessity, but space? In the middle of a war? No thank you. So she disappears into the shadows. Because it might not be a great life, but at least it’s the one she’s chosen.
Right? Wrong. Because instantly a scarred, glaring alien fugitive with more muscle than sense snatches her from her planet and whisks her into space. He seems to think she has something to do with some awful faraway crimes. Is he insane? If he’s really so dangerous and terrifying, why is she so drawn to him?
