She’s the only thing that makes him feel, but wanting her could destroy them both.
Soulless and controlled by rules as brutal as they are unbreakable, Kayde exists to follow orders, fight, and obey. He doesn’t feel. He doesn’t want. He doesn’t break.
Not until her.
When Quinn enters a room, everything inside him sharpens.
Desire is a threat. Need is a weakness.
And longing for a human female? That’s a slow descent into madness.
But Quinn isn’t just anyone. She’s a woman with a heart wrapped in scars. After surviving captivity and crawling her way back to freedom, she’s not looking for a man, especially not a lethal alien with emotionless eyes and a voice made for sin.
She sees the darkness in him. She knows she should run.
She doesn’t.
And when a mission gone sideways traps her alone with Kayde on a ship hurtling into danger, hiding from him becomes impossible.
So does resisting.
Every touch is a test.
Every moment, a war between logic and hunger.
And when his control finally breaks, there’s no going back.
He was built to be cold. But with Quinn, he’s wild. He’s reckless. He’s hers.
And if claiming her awakens the soul he no longer has, then he’ll destroy anyone—and everything—to keep her.
