She was sold to save her daughter. He married her to save his world. Falling in love was never part of the deal. In a dying world, humanity made its choice: sell its own to alien buyers in exchange for the supplies and tech needed to survive. Hannah never expected to end up in chains, caged like livestock with her daughter Alicia beside her. When a towering alien king offers marriage instead of slavery, she says yes, not out of love, but desperation. Safety. A future. Zak is everything she didn’t expect: kind, respectful, impossibly gentle for someone so powerful. His planet is strange, beautiful, and terrifying… and somehow, it already feels more like home than Earth ever did. But just as Hannah starts to believe she and Alicia might finally be safe, another alien steps forward, one who claims he bought her first. And he’s not interested in giving her up. Now Hannah must navigate royal politics, burning chemistry, and dangerous secrets, all while protecting the only person who matters more than anything: her daughter. Starlights & Chains is a very spicy sci-fi romance with: - Alien royalty & forced proximity - One soft-hearted but possessive king - Survival stakes, found family, and claws - Explicit scenes, primal heat, praise, and a heroine who bites back I f you love monster heat, tender dominance, and alien kings who’d raze planets for their mates: welcome home.
