Claimed by the Alien King

Book One of the Starlit Claim Trilogy

He’s waited sixty-three years for her. She doesn’t believe in fate.

Scientist Elara Quinn has built her life around logic and isolation. Stranded on a research outpost at the edge of known space, she needs only to complete her work and earn passage home. No attachments. No vulnerabilities. No exceptions.

Then the Zarythian ships arrive.

When she’s brought before their king, Elara expects interrogation. Instead, she finds a warrior whose golden eyes have haunted by prophecy since childhood—a prophecy of a human woman who would be his fated mate. His soul-bonded queen.

Vaarek is patient. Devoted. And absolutely certain that Elara belongs at his side. But claiming her body is nothing compared to claiming her trust, and Elara Quinn doesn’t trust anyone.

As court intrigue threatens and enemies move in shadows, the bond between human and Zarythian grows impossible to ignore. Every touch sparks fire. Every moment together tears down another wall.

But some bonds demand more than surrender. Some bonds demand choice.
