'Sold for Pleasure

'Abducted.

'Abused.

'Sold.

'Reece Halliday will find a way back home, even if it kills her. Abducted from Earth and auctioned off on the other side of the galaxy, a scarred starship XO buys her as a birthday present for his boss–as a pleasure slave.

'Ruthless starship officer Calin Aubron will do anything to climb the ranks of the Mendovan Alliance and regain the respect stolen from him. Life has taught him a harsh lesson: there is only duty, position, and honor. Neither Reece nor Calin expect to find a deep, abiding solace in each other’s company, a solace that leads Calin to dig deeper into Reece’s background and her claims of kidnapping.

'But the Rathian slave traders behind the kidnappings refuse to let one small, worthless human derail their lucrative income stream from reaped worlds.

'They will kill her first.'

'IT’S ALL A LIE.

'Her life.

'Her hopes.

'Her very being.

'Author Alex Sanderson thought she knew what she wanted from life, and it appeared she actually had it. Great career, a new book release she loved, and security.

'Waking up in a cell on an alien slave ship like the main character in her latest book wasn’t on her list.

'As crucial moments that she’d written down in her latest novel begin to play out in real life, including the enigmatic starship XO she’d written as her hero—a man she’d secretly lusted over—she is left wondering what exactly is real?

'Calin Aubryn’s desolate, pain-filled life suddenly brightens when a strange, new creature—a human—is discovered in his airspace. A person who appears to be something quite unique.

'While the war with the Xjaran Swarm still rages around them, with his best friend and battle commander at his side, protecting Alex becomes their first priority. And if he’s truly lucky, the growing awareness between them might erupt into a flame that scorches worlds.'
