Vanquished — Allyson Young

Sometimes, allies aren't what they seem... After a genetic bio weapon wipes out nearly every Shadalla female on the planet Nibiru, Sovereign Vayne Palldyn is determined that his species not become extinct and vows to take revenge on those responsible for the genocide. But Vayne is about to learn that some things can't be taken by force. Former prisoner of war Neira Grekov was looking for a new start when she boarded the starship Astris. Being kidnapped by the Shadalla wasn't what she had in mind. She's heard the stories before, rumors of the Shadalla abducting women, and she knows all too well what's in store for her fellow passengers. When Vayne claims her as his chosen mate, Neira is determined to resist the handsome sovereign. She's long since stopped believing in missing pieces and forever. Then the stars align and truths are discovered-and nothing will ever be the same.
