Why we recommend it

The Captain's Pet opens the Alien Slave Masters series with a heroine taken captive aboard a ship ruled by a possessive alien commander. For readers who want the captive fantasy at its darkest, expect ownership dynamics, claustrophobic tension, and the slow, charged surrender of a woman learning her captor's obsession runs deeper than cruelty. High heat, high stakes, and unflinchingly dark from the first page.
