Ruled: A Dark Sci-Fi Romance (Mauleon Captives Book 1)

Why we recommend it

A sci-fi captive fantasy that leans hard into power imbalance and reluctant surrender. Expect an alien conqueror who claims what he wants and a heroine forced to find her footing in hostile territory. The heat runs high and the dynamic is unapologetically possessive, with sharp tension between fear and longing. Ideal for readers who like their dark romance dressed in starships, collars, and slow-melting defenses.
