His Fierce Fugitive by Jinx Layne

I’m on the run from half the aliens in this galaxy.
The last thing I need is a fated mate.

IRIS
Being abducted by aliens was bad enough. But getting sold to a twisted collector, tossed into a brutal prison, then forced to survive in a savage jungle wilderness? Even worse.
I swore I’d never let another man control me, but after a daring escape, I’m trapped yet again. This time with my rescuer… a towering, silver warrior who claims my best friend—now a queen!—sent him to save me.
He’s fearless, protective, and annoyingly kind, which only makes it harder to keep my walls up.
But with danger lurking in every shadow, I’m left with no choice. If I want to live to see my friends again, I’ll have to put my life—and maybe my heart—in his hands.

TAK
The moment I lay eyes on Iris, I know she’s mine… even if she doesn’t believe it.
She’s ferocious, strong-willed, and hardened by betrayal. But beneath all that, I see the delicate heart she’s trying so hard to protect.
Winning her trust won’t be easy, but bringing her back to Ydris is my sole mission, and I’ll destroy anyone who tries to hurt her.
Because no one takes what’s mine.

His Fierce Fugitive is a short, steamy, fated mates romance and the second book in the Earthly Possessions series. It features a bitter heroine completely over men and love, and a golden retriever alien obsessed with showing her his love is exactly what she needs.
