When Reyna Cooper and her research team land on Planet Kratak to study the locals’ ways and customs, she immediately falls under the spell of big, brooding Damen Harkniss. He’s everything she thought she hated, but now she finds she can’t resist his dominating presence. With his overpowering presence and his intoxicating touch, he destroys the old Reyna and brings a new being to life.
His rock-hard body and his fascinating skin patterns weave a spell to catch her in a web of pleasure and connection, but something dangerous and alien lurks beneath his magnetic exterior - something slithering and scaly that won’t stop until it invades Reyna’s most delicate places. Can Reyna reconcile her conflicting desires with the team’s mission? Can she really turn her back on everything she knows and understands for the passion and power of unstoppable love? Can she really love a man consumed by a terrible secret?
