What starts out as a mating of convenience swiftly turns into more.
Claimed by the Krijese, an all-new single alien dad romance and the first
book in the brand new Krijese Warlords Series from bestselling author Erin
Hale is now available!
Kala
Raising my kid in peace with the few remaining members of my tribe is all I desire. I
have even become allies with former enemies, the Tavikhi. Sorin now has friends and
will grow up never having to battle just to stay alive.
I did not realize the depth of his desire for a mom until we meet Iris. She is a human,
newly arrived on our planet, and resides in the Tavikhi village.
Humans are not meant for Krijese, though. It is far too dangerous for them. So I must
ignore Iris, no matter how much I desire her.
Iris
All I’ve ever wanted is for people to see beyond my physical appearance to the person I
am on the inside. It’s not until I leave Earth for an alien planet and meet a little boy who
belongs to a local tribe that I am.
Then I meet Sorin’s father. After hearing how their species murdered humans, he
terrifies me. The more I’m around them, though, the more I realize my fears are
unfounded.
When Kala offers me a mating of convenience and what may be my only chance at
becoming a mother, I accept. Before long, it’s not just the child I want, but also his
father.

My focus narrows on a single spot in front of me, and when I feel like I’m as ready as I’m going to get, I raise my arm and the axe with it, breathe, and throw. Two things happen at once. The axe goes soaring and it’s obvious I overestimated my strength and underestimated my eyesight. The loss of the weapon, plus my extreme lack of grace makes me lose my balance. I brace myself for impact with the ground, but it doesn’t happen.
Instead, I find myself suspended mid-air with a large, warm body at my back, and two thick arms supporting me under my armpits. I tip my head back and gaze up at my savior. If I had any breath left in my lungs it would have been released as a scream. Instead, I flail and scramble to my feet on my own. Once there, I spin and stumble back a few steps, nearly falling on my ass, my attempt at being non-judgmental about appearances tossed out the window.
Before me is a larger, much, much scarier version of Sorin. In fact, he’s terrifying. He has the same greenish-black skin that’s more black than green in certain angles. His thick, black ropey hair is unbound and sweeps back off his forehead to fall nearly to his waist. There is no pretty silver spark in the bottomless eyes that bore into mine. They’re nothing but dark shadows on top of dark shadows. I shiver at the darkness within them.
Sorin’s little tusks that bracket his vertical mouth slit are cute. Adorable, even. This man’s—and there’s no mistaking him as male—are huge. Pointy. Dangerous. As are the black claws that tip his fingers.
“Gogo, you saved Iris.”
My gaze darts to Sorin who moves to stand next to the large version of him. I glance at the adult male, to the child, and back again. At least now I have an idea what ‘gogo’ means, because my guess is I’m looking at Sorin’s father. Another guess tells me he’s one of the Krijese that used to slaughter the humans.
