What if your only chance at survival was to buy a dangerous alien as your bodyguard? Serenai is in terrible danger and utterly alone. After her mother's sudden, suspicious death, she's summoned to Yonnie Six to claim her title-a position she's completely unprepared for. Raised in a convent, Serenai has no idea how to be a Yonnite Mistress... or how to handle the red-eyed shadow stalking her every move. Desperate for protection, she does the unthinkable-she purchases the biggest, fiercest Kindred warrior she can find to serve as her bodyguard... and her bodyslave. She tells herself Brax is just there to keep her safe. She never meant to fall for the scarred, deadly alien with the pale, deadly eyes and the sinful touch. Brax has spent ten brutal years as a slave in the Blood Circuit, fighting for survival. The moment he sees Serenai-with her luscious curves, sweet innocence, and soft brown eyes-he knows she belongs to him. He'll fight anyone and anything to protect her, even the dark creature stalking her... even the ancient curse tied to her mother's death. But when Brax is forced to risk everything-including his freedom and his life-to save the woman he's come to love, will their story end in heartbreak... or in a passion that breaks all bounds? Breaking the Bloodstone Curse is a scorching alien bodyguard romance filled with spice, danger, fated mates, forced proximity, protective alpha heroes, mystery, and thrilling twists. Perfect for fans of possessive Kindred warriors, spicy tension, and steamy happily ever afters.
