Unleashing the Beast by Aline Ash

Kidnapped by alien outlaws and locked in a private zoo exhibition, Eva’s only hope of freedom lies with the broken hunk of a warrior who shares her enclosure…

Collared and chained with my bare body on display, I’m poked, prodded and beaten at the amusement of my Gargolian masters and their guests at this freakish petting zoo…and I can’t take it any more. I’m getting out of here, and I think I know how.

The only problem is that my plan rests on the help of my brutish cell-mate. Once the most feared Tabiaen war chieftain, Tulo has a savage reputation for violence – or at least he did. Now, he doesn’t seem to care about escaping what passes for life here at this petting-zoo anymore.

But I can see, just underneath his gruff, angry surface lies a deadly predator that’s ready to rip the world to shreds, and I’m surprised by the responding fire it lights within me.

I just need to get past his barriers to unleash the sleeping beast within. Because once he awakens… he will make them pay in blood.
