Barbarian's Taming

Maddie is new to an alien tribe and has not found her place in it. She admits she is headstrong, and she has thrown a few things at people's heads. Her reason was a good one: her shy sister was taken from right under her nose.

The sister has since come back and is mated, and everyone around Maddie is content. Maddie is not. She wants affection and attention, and she says plainly that she is lonely.

The one person who seems to understand is Hassen, the blue-skinned alien who took her sister. Getting involved with him is wrong, and Maddie knows it. She is also bad with rules. Hassen, for his part, is not interested in anything casual, so a mindless fling is not on offer.

This is a science fiction romance told in Maddie's first-person voice, with a humorous, chatty tone and an attraction between two people who have every reason to stay apart. It is the next novel in the Ice Planet Barbarians series. This special print edition includes an exclusive bonus epilogue.
