Alien Desire by Melody Beckett

He’s her only hope. She’s his secret desire.

Space Force veteran Laila Storey thinks she’s seen it all—until first contact with an insectoid alien race, the Xakul, destroys a fledgling Martian colony. The Xakul’s next target? Earth.

Humanity’s only hope is the Taureans, a warrior race who has battled the Xakul and won. Laila must do whatever it takes to save her people, but one particular Taurean warrior proves to be an unwanted distraction.

Commander Zac Qu’Rell wants back in the fight, but his last battle with the Xakul left him badly scarred. The only time he feels at peace is when he’s with Laila.

As Zac and Laila work together, temperatures rise, both on and off the battlefield. But there’s no time for love…. is there?
