My alien client craves complete control...

When I have to cancel my vacation last minute to meet with a mysterious new alien client, I don't know whether to be annoyed, worried, or curious—I've never met an alien in the flesh before. The way Kuthil Ash Kharn towers over me leaves me frozen in his shadow. I fight to keep control under the golden giant's penetrating gaze, but he sees right through me, and I just want to get through this job and go home.

But a freak blizzard hits, leaving me trapped and injured at his ranch. With no way out, I have no choice but to allow Kuthil Ash Kharn to help me. Except his strange alien powers don't just heal me—they come with unintended dark consequences.

Now a part of him is inside of me, and it's impossible not to be overwhelmed by him. I feel him moving underneath my skin and I'm doing my best to fight the way he manipulates my body and mind, but there's no escape. Not even in my dreams.

And the worst thing of all is... I'm afraid I'm starting to enjoy it.
