A book in the Saurellian Federation series.

Admiral Saul Darius is a warrior, trained to fight and take what he wants—and he intends to possess the lush, sensual woman he’s spotted in the arena stands.

The last thing Master Engineer K’rilla d’Pecoraio wants is a lifemate. But when a battle-hardened gladiator claims her as his erotic prize, she finds herself in a war of her own—surrender to his will or fight to save the world she holds so dear. She’s on his ship, at his mercy, completely under his power…

Or so he thinks.
