Adrian Davis thought getting on a real-life, 'beam me up, Scotty', transport pad was adventure enough. Visiting her mother-and the Atlan beast her mom had chosen as a mate-on another planet? Setting foot in an Atlan prison? Completely crazy. Like totally, bat-shit, what-the-hell-was-she-doing-with-her-life crazy. She was supposed to spend a few days wandering around with her twin sister, seeing the sights, expanding her horizons. The trip was supposed to be a much needed break from the hectic schedule she was keeping in school. She was only nineteen. She had plans. Finish college. Medical school. Husband. House. Two-point-five perfect kids and a golden retriever named Buddy. All that changed with one roar of pain. She heard him. A beast. He was out of control, locked behind an impenetrable wall, alone. Suffering the agony of mating fever. Ready to die. Forsaken. Adrian can't let him go. She will have to fight a centuries old system, warlords on another world, and the beast himself to get what she wants. To save him.To keep him for herself.
