Brute Alien Lord. Brute Alien, #14

Chargon, High Lord of Raja 17, ruled with an iron fist and brought his planet back after the devastation of war. Nobody would defy or challenge him because he was his planet's savior. The Banteen Wars nearly annihilated his world, and he, with his elite corps, destroyed The Iron Balantry of Ledoris Prime. After three years of successfully ruling Raja 17, an ancient rule demanded that he take a mate and create an heir.
Chargon liked his freedom in all aspects of his life, and having one woman wasn't what he wanted or needed. He'd considered a harem, but that tradition ended over a century ago. He loved his world, was proud of his accomplishments, and felt trapped, but his people demanded it. On Independence Day, there was to be a lottery, and three eligible young women would be picked. He had to choose one. The tall, broad-shouldered, handsome Lord tried to defy tradition, but protocol demanded he follow the ancient laws.
Now, all he wanted was for the lottery to be over. Until then, he'd have as many beauties in his bed as possible. Then came Trija, a seasoned and stunning young widow. Her mother, who felt Trija had too much freedom since her mate's death, entered her name in the lottery. Her name is one of the three pulled out of a hat. She's the only one he sees. The war of wills begins. Chargon is primitive, possessive, dominant, breathtakingly handsome, and powerful.
How could a woman deny such a man?Trija was ready to try rather than give up her freedom. Brute Alien Lord is #14 of the Brute Alien Series.
