The Gifting Series #9

Britt's a fighter and the self-appointed protector of her mom after her father died. No matter what or how, no one gets the best of her. She's strong, self-reliant, and bold with no filter between brain and mouth. So when she accidentally-on purpose pepper-sprays an alien, things can only go from bad to worse. Hell no is she apologizing when she's clearly not in the wrong. She'll just have to stay out of his way on their small spaceship. Easy, right?

Nerx has spent a lifetime in strict control of his emotions, calculating every scenario. His life and grumpy outlook begins to change when he adopts Lily, a human girl. As a father with his daughter's future in mind, he must complete a royal mission to Earth before he retires as supreme commander. A trip planetside ends in blindness, and worse, the woman who attacked him has no remorse. He wants nothing to do with her and plans to avoid her during the trip to Etteria.

Until she triggers the mating bond.

Now he has to somehow convince this shrew to take a chance on him and his daughter. Except, she's not what he expects. She's fierce but sweet, entertaining, and sassy. And the most disobedient woman he knows.
