StarRomped — Jaide Fox

After her adventures through the galaxy, Cole is ready to return to earth and her old life. If only that idiot Kerel could've landed them on Earth without incident. Unfortunately, Kerel can't resist being a daredevil and ruining their ship, landing them smack in the middle of a steaming pile of doodoo Cole likes to call the Troglydons. Worse, the big red lugs manage to capture her (again) and sell her at auction as a sex slave. As if she'd ever let any of these stinking aliens put their mitts on her.

To Hauk, Cole is a royal pain in his butt, and he's glad she's gone. He doesn't want to admit that the kiss they shared the one time when she tried to claw his face off sparked a raging lust to possess not only her body, but her heart. So what if he's a sucker for punishment? He's too smart to admit to her that she's gotten under his skin. If only Kerel's dumb butt could've gotten her home in one piece, he could have had his peace from temptation! Now Hauk is stuck with the job of rescuing the last woman in the galaxy he ever wanted to lay eyes on again.
