Alien Duke’s Fated Mate. Warriors of the Lathar, #20

She's the best pilot in the galaxy...he's an arrogant alien duke Major Zara Reid has one mission - prove human pilots can fly alongside the alien Latharians. She didn't expect their arrogant Lord Starfighter to try and undermine her at every turn. As much as she tries to stay away from him, his chiseled features and amber eyes awaken flames of desire she can't ignore, no matter how much of an arrogant ass he is. He commands the empire's fiercest pilots.
He has no time to pander to fragile humans As a royal duke, and the Empire's Lord Starfighter, Traax doesn't have time for the human pilots foisted upon him by his meddling cousin. Distractions like the human pilot commander, Zara are unforgivable. no matter how beautiful she is, or how much he yearns to make her his. Until one night causes mating marks to appear, and binds them as fated mates. Now she's his to protect at all costs.
When saboteurs strike and leave Zara stranded on an abandoned space station, Traax must put everything aside to rescue his fated mate. To reach Zara, he'll have to go up against one of the most dangerous enemies a Latharian can face--the vicious, carnivorous Krin.  Willing to sacrifice his life for the defiant and beautiful human who sets his soul on fire, can Traax best the ultimate challenge for any warrior, or is their happily-ever-after doomed before it can start?
