He may say the right things and stir emotions in me I never expected to feel again for any male, but his kind has already taken too much from me.Trapped now on his harsh, snow-consumed planet waiting to be hunted, with no way of escape, I'll do the only thing I can. The one thing I've been training for since the aliens first came to the human moon colony to hurt us. I'll fight.\u003cb\u003eVa'Raku\u003c\/b\u003eNobu has never seen a queen before who is able to wield sword and staff, fist and tongue. A warrior queen, and mine to claim. But when her hate puts the entire village at risk, I finally come to understand the provenance of her pain. While she is the only one who can unravel it, I can teach her control, acceptance, release. But first I will need her trust. And only then can we fight together against our shared enemy and bring him to his knees. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTaken to Nobu is a full-length (90k words), standalone, SciFi romance complete with an alpha alien overlord, proud warrior heroine of color, fated mates who are also enemies-to-lovers, world building and extra steamy bits. Trigger warning: this book is about a woman overcoming a past sexual trauma (neither described nor depicted) and the gentle, but firm male who helps her get there. All Xiveri Mates books can be read as standalones, each one with a guaranteed HEA, however I recommend reading book 1 first as this sets the stage. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50387163644178,"sku":"9798586587268","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_932f82ae-2f67-4504-b415-9a38ec511b87.jpg?v=1728871669","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/taken-to-nobu-xiveri-mates-book-2-9798586587268","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
