Claimed by the Alien General (The Brides of Rakesh)

The kingdom of Rakesh is dealing with a whole new mess, and I’m not the type to sit pretty in the palace while the others handle it.

I need some action. But most of all? I want adventure.

But of course, Cepos disagrees.

Cepos is the ever-serious, noble-as-hell, frustratingly gorgeous general in charge of keeping Rakesh safe and secure. He says I need to stay out of it. He says that I’ll be safer on the sidelines.

But here’s the thing—I don’t do sidelines.

And I don’t know what’s more infuriating—the way Cepos shuts me down at every turn or the way he looks at me like I’m the most dangerous thing he’s ever faced.

But he also looks at me like he’s tempted.
