Abducted by the Alien Lord

Ines Calderón studies how people move. She has never been the one moved. She wakes in the hold of a Destravi ship with six other women and one alien lord who releases all of them but her. Vaszha did not order her taken. He has spent a decade refusing the treaty bride his council insists he needs. But his scanners say her biology could save a dying species, and his body says something the scanners cannot measure. She offers him a month. Observation only. No touching. A month is a very long time in an observatory at night, over maps of two dying worlds. When the council comes to collect her as property, Vaszha gives up his title rather than his mate. A steamy alien fated mates romance about choosing a bond you did not ask for.
