Fake Mate For My Alien Protecto - Shona Mira

Running from my painful past led me to a grumpy, sexy, blue alien. Now I'm his pretend soul mate.
I've been captured by a ruthless insectoid species, kept alive for my medical skills– and for a disturbing breeding ritual.
A dying patient gives me a crystal that can destroy our enemies and tells me to get it to the resistance. To do this, I need the help of the gruff, bad boy alien who rescues me, but I don't trust him– and he can't stand me.
When we crash-land on an enemy planet, we need to pose as a mated couple to survive. The way he protects me sends shivers down my spine, but his coldness towards me makes me want to keep my distance.
Our fake bond slowly turns into something real as we're forced to spend more time together. But with the crystal's power draining my life, and our enemies closing in, we're running out of time.
My life and my alien protector's are tied to this crystal— if we fail to get it to safety, we both die.
