Hearts of Obsidian RESONANCE

Book 1

She was just trying to survive. He'd been surviving for a century. Neither expected the glow.

Dr. Ava Chen didn't sign up to be anyone's fated mate. She signed up to be a colony ship's doctor—to heal people, not crash-land on an uncharted ice planet with thirty survivors depending on her.

She definitely didn't sign up for *him*.

Raeth has led his people through eighty years of slow extinction. No females. No children. No hope. The Vothren are dying, and he's made peace with that. Until strange creatures fall from the sky—and one small, fierce human woman makes his skin glow with a light he cannot control.

The resonance. The fated mate bond his people believed was only legend.

He can't hide what she makes him feel. His own body won't let him.

Ava doesn't believe in destiny. She believes in science, in logic, in keeping everyone alive through sheer stubborn will. But the seven-foot alien warrior who watches her with silver eyes and glows like a supernova whenever she's near? He's making it very hard to stay rational.

Especially when his touch is the only warmth on this frozen world.
Especially when his people might be the only thing standing between the survivors and extinction.
Especially when she starts to wonder if fighting the bond is the real mistake.

On a world of ice, the fire between them might be the only thing that saves them both.

RESONANCE is a full-length alien romance featuring a touch-starved hero who falls first (and hard), a heroine who doesn't need saving but might need love, explicit steam, and a guaranteed HEA. This is Book 1 in the Hearts of Obsidian series.
