Pyne by Alana Khan

In an alien holiday baking competition, a gladiator and a human chef must navigate lethal challenges and the sizzling chemistry that threatens to consume them both.

Becca
Kidnapped and forced into an alien culinary death match, I must rely on a gruff and gorgeous gladiator. His fierce protection and heated glances are more tempting than the grand prize itself—my freedom.
With each challenge more treacherous than the last and the stakes rising, can we survive the contest and the dangerous attraction between us?

Pyne
Thrust into this absurd holiday baking contest at gunpoint, my instincts scream to protect Becca at all costs. Her resilience and fiery spirit touch my heart and set my blood on fire.
As the competition heats up, I’ll wield every weapon, face every challenge, and take down anyone who threatens her – because winning her heart is the ultimate prize.
