Bound

About the book

Feral and deadly, the alien gladiator is here to protect me, not to take me for himself.

The alien virus that I contracted after being taken from Earth has left me a mere shadow of who I used to be. The only consolation is that my voice remains unaffected, but I am kept like a canary in a gilded cage by a wealthy alien who sees me as a songstress.

Following an attempt on his life, he hires Rych, a gruff and grumpy ex-Gryn gladiator, as his personal bodyguard. Rych is both intimidating and attractive, often seen training outside my window in the early morning with very little clothing on.

Although I can sing, communicating with him proves to be a challenge, and I doubt that someone as powerful as Rych would have any interest in someone as broken as me.

However, when the assassin strikes again and we find ourselves trapped in a cave together, I realize that I am inexplicably drawn to the feathered gladiator. As he takes care of me without any hint of making me feel like a burden, my feelings for my enigmatic bodyguard only grow stronger.

But as I uncover the truth about the virus infecting me and the urgent need for a cure, I realize that losing him would also mean losing my own life.

And I am not ready to face death just yet.
