A runaway proxy, a determined Alphan, and a searing claim that marks them both.
Five months ago, Pei Ling Xiang's life was turned upside down when Earth authorities broke into the bunker where her family had sheltered for the last eleven years, dragging her parents to prison and taking her and her sister to the Faction Embassy to be registered as proxies. When she learned she would be paired with an Alphan, she panicked and fled. If Brighton hadn't taken her in, she would have been in a desperate situation. Once he catches her, she settles in with Zafer and grows to care for him, but her family is still at risk.
Zafer Karr spent five months tracking his wayward proxy, and once he acquires her, he tasks himself with winning her trust and proving she's safe with him. He believes he's succeeded, and she weathers her first omegan heat without fear, so he's mystified when she disappears again. He won't let her go without a fight, because he loves his stubborn human and wants to make her his mate forever, not just a year.
Seven years ago, the Faction agreed to save Earth from the Vorathan invasion in exchange for Earth women giving them one year of proxy rights to act as a surrogate, since the aliens of the Faction faced a dwindling population. With the Vorathans feared throughout the galaxy as bloodthirsty, vicious marauders, the Earth's government agreed.
That doesn't mean the women did.
