The Commander’s Virgin Queen by Bailey Dark

“He leaned forward to kiss me, my fingernails raking red lines down his back as the kiss drew deep and long, as if he were kissing my soul.”

No man has ever shown himself to be worth my time, and Commander Axis has a long way to go to prove he will ever be anything other than my pledged Prince in this Alliance wedding between our planets. But if being his Bride is the way I can save our oceans from the blue flu decimating our animal life, then so be it. As long as he still lets me sail the seas and be free, I’ll play this game. It doesn’t mean I have to give up who I am.
And there’s nothing special about the electricity coursing through our skin every time Commander Axis and I touch—there can’t be any deeper meaning behind it.
I’ve vowed to never let a man tame me. The oceans are my true love.
I’ll face the pirates on this new planet’s seas before I’ll face a lover in my heart . . .
