I'll never let a man control me again.
I left the Earth to get away from my controlling ex, and I refuse to fall into another man's arms...not even an amazingly masculine alien that awakens an uncontrollable attraction within me.
Bask is the definition of alpha male and my opposite in every way. He comes from an alien species full of domineering males, and I'm not interested. I can't deny that I'm hot for him, but I'm not willing to be his submissive little female.
When our ship crashes, he goes into protector mode. He thinks I'm a helpless human. I might not have the power to summon fire at my fingertips, but I'm not weak.
We're trapped together, but I'm not going to submit to him, no matter how hot it is when we kiss. If he wants me as his mate, he'll have to accept the strong woman I've worked so hard to become.
