Book excerpt: She's given to a savage alien warrior... Sentenced to a lifetime of slavery on the Kall homeworld, First Daughter Betsy Carson expects the rest of her days to be a constant struggle for survival. She's stunned when a wiseman purchases her from the auction block as a gift for his younger brother - a savage Kall warrior named Edek who loathes humans with his every breath. Her hopes to be left alone by her new master are dashed when he orders her to sleep in his bed, and she soon discovers disobedience will be met with firm consequences. The little human consumes his thoughts... Commander Edek is still grieving the loss of his wife and sons. He blames humans for the accident that stole his family, and he shouldn't feel such an intense attraction to the little human slave his brother has thrust upon him. Though he tries to build up walls around his heart, Betsy's sweet presence gradually calms the storm raging within, and he becomes fiercely possessive of the small female. But can a Kall commander and a human slave share a future that doesn't end in tragedy? Publisher's Note: Commander's Slave is a novel length re-release of a novella by the same name that was first published in 2014. This version has been significantly lengthened and re-edited.
