I am Gurtal and I’m a dreaded Vakutan warrior…and I am collecting dust.

So what if I can kill countless fearsome Odex soldiers with my bare hands?
My dad, the General, sidelined me as a bodyguard to a scientist.
My friend Vera wants me to go on an urgent mission.

Rescue a beautiful human Companion named Xana from a prison planet.

An adventure to save the pretty girl who’s sure to be very, very grateful?
Or waste away on a boring task I’m overly qualified for?
Is there even a choice here?

I’ll have to go undercover, sneak in, grab her, and get out.
Well…I find Xana alright. I fall for the gorgeous woman instantly.
Mine, mine, mine, MINE.
Just one problem.

She doesn’t want to leave.

I need to get off this rock before my father and the Alliance discovers I’ve skipped out.
But there are some pretty nasty bad guys rankled by the rescue and now after us, and no way am I leaving this captivating human woman on this rock. There’s only one thing to do in this situation.

Be the hero that I always knew I could be.
Whether she likes it or not…

Sorta Seized by the Alien is the first book in the Marauder Mates science fiction romance series within the wider Athenaverse. It can be read as a standalone, but it still shares the same universe and situations you’ve found in other books. Each book features the romance of an alpha male alien warrior and a human woman who doesn’t put up with any nonsense, some characters from the wider Athenaverse, and a cute little many-eyed sidekick with lots of heart. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and HEA guaranteed.
