Kiki There's no way I'm letting this alien who calls me his Xiveri mate claim me as his. He may say the right things and stir emotions in me I never expected to feel again for any male, but his kind has already taken too much from me.Trapped now on his harsh, snow-consumed planet waiting to be hunted, with no way of escape, I'll do the only thing I can. The one thing I've been training for since the aliens first came to the human moon colony to hurt us. I'll fight. Va'Raku Nobu has never seen a queen before who is able to wield sword and staff, fist and tongue. A warrior queen, and mine to claim. But when her hate puts the entire village at risk, I finally come to understand the provenance of her pain. While she is the only one who can unravel it, I can teach her control, acceptance, release. But first I will need her trust. And only then can we fight together against our shared enemy and bring him to his knees. Taken to Nobu is a full-length (90k words), standalone, SciFi romance complete with an alpha alien overlord, proud warrior heroine of color, fated mates who are also enemies-to-lovers, world building and extra steamy bits. Trigger warning: this book is about a woman overcoming a past sexual trauma (neither described nor depicted) and the gentle, but firm male who helps her get there. All Xiveri Mates books can be read as standalones, each one with a guaranteed HEA, however I recommend reading book 1 first as this sets the stage. ★★★★★ "With strong females at the front of her stories, women's issues around violence and second rate citizens are weaved into gritty fiction with some hot sex scenes that you don't even realise your being taught a lesson about how humans in our real world can sometimes be the bad guys." - Time-Travel Romance Author, Brona Mills ★★★★★ "I loved Kinan's patience and devotion. Kiki was damaged, but also one fierce heroine. I am hoping we get 5-7 books...greedy much?" - Badass Reads and Reviews ★★★★★ "I thought I loved book one, but book two just blew me away." - Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "With so many writers basically doing a "wash, rinse, repeat" with their main characters in a series...Mrs Stephens gave two different stories that still tie into the overall arc. This book felt familiar in ways that brought some tears." - High Society Book Reviews ★★★★★ "Elizabeth Stephens has worked her way into being on of my favorite authors." - Goodreads Reviewer Sign up to my newsletter to get access to exclusive giveaways and be the first to know about new releases in your favorite series, including audio and translations!

I'd love to hear from you! Elizabeth Stephens writes romance of the SciFi, paranormal and suspenseful varieties. Her favorite trope is enemies-to-lovers and she loves to world-build so much so that she sometimes gets lost in places that don't exist.   One year into her author journey, she's been shocked to see her books listed among Amazon's bestsellers in their categories. Still, her favorite pieces of fanmail are from BIPOC women expressing surprise and gratitude that they've found an author who looks like them and writes books that make them feel included.   When she isn't tip-tap-typing away, you might find her getting her hands dirty on a pottery wheel, traveling as much as she can, or learning a new language. A Seattle native, after over 15 years spent in Johannesburg, Cairo, Beirut, Geneva, Addis Ababa, and Berlin, she's made her way back home with her loving husband and doggo, King Louis.   To find out more about her projects and upcoming releases visit her website at booksbyelizabeth.com.
