About this ebook

I uphold Goblin law, but for her, I'll break it. Even if it costs me my Empire.

SABRINA

As a xenoarchaeologist I’m ready for the expedition of lifetime; to find out the secrets of the ancient Goblin empire. Going rogue on a wild hunch, I stumble upon a civilization so advanced it makes others appear primitive. But nothing in my academic arsenal prepares me for what is to come.

Condemned as a trespasser, I face the savage justice of the Goblin King, an alien whose brutal charm is as frightening as he is tempting. The Goblin Credo demands my death but when he chooses to makes me his bride instead, I need more than my studies to get out of this bind.

ZAREK

Hidden in the vastness of the universe for centuries, my empire now wallows in mundanity. My court demands I take a bride but the options are… beneath me. So, when a human female breaches my carefully concealed kingdom, she stirs more than my curiosity.

Duty demands I kill her. But what’s the rush? As pressures mount and loyalties waver, I find my rule tested. Choosing Sabrina reshapes the foundations of my empire as I’m bound by duty, but captivated by desire.

This novella is part of the Abducted by the Ruthless Royal series. This sci-fi romance features an arrogant alpha king his rebellious academic heroine, and a steamy HEA.

Ratings and reviews

Sabrina has a thirst for knowledge that knows no bounds, specifically that of the Goblins, and also which pushes her past the various parameters that she should be working within. So it is no great surprise that she ends up considered as the enemy suddenly landing on a planet belonging to what Sabrina thought was an extinct civilisation. Zarek has been the King of the Goblins for centuries and is bored. He knows what should be done with intruders and yet he cannot quite bring himseld to.
