The Dreamer and the Deep Space Warrior (Xaal Regency, #1)

Predator meets Bridgerton in this alien sci-fi romance.

Isobel Nott isn’t one to obey the rules of polite society.
With a marriage she doesn’t want looming ahead, she spends her remaining time as a spinster in quiet rebellion. Which is exactly how she finds herself in the woods at night investigating two flying objects that crash-land there. What she isn’t expecting to find are people—hulking, well-armored, and battling. When the victor throws her over his shoulder and carries her out of the self-destructing ship, her life is irrevocably changed.
Ved Qon Cleave is brutal and exacting. He has ensured that anything that could make him weak was destroyed long ago. But when he’s led into an ambush, dragged through a tear in space, and stranded on a planet far away, everything changes.
Isobel Nott shouldn’t know that he exists. And he certainly shouldn’t be drawn to her. Nothing good could come from such a connection—they don’t belong in each other’s worlds. His is harsh and brutal, hers is full of rules and manners.
As his enemies close in from all sides, he can’t afford to have any weaknesses.
But it may already be too late.
