It’s not in Blair’s nature to just give up. Not when she’s beamed up to a spaceship and then dropped on an alien planet. Not even when she’s in the middle of a forest fire surrounded by dinosaurs. And definitely not when she’s captured by an arrogant alien king. If King Osid thinks he can break her, he’s in for a shock. Blair lives by one If you stay ready, you never have to get ready.

But absolutely nothing could have prepared her for finding out that she’s that arrogant King Osid’s mate.

Despite recent hiccups, the alien researchers are determined to get their breeding program back on track. With that in mind, Blair and Osid are bundled off to the research center for what they’re told is couples counseling. As they face a series of increasingly dangerous challenges, it soon becomes clear the research aliens may have confused an episode of The Bachelor with Survivor. Bonding over their common enemy, and shall we say...encouraged by love darts, Blair and Osid let down their walls (and take off their clothes). When they discover that there are—somehow—even more secret plans in the works, another hilarious, steamy, over-the-top adventure is in store.","format",{"_19":29,"_87":116,"_117":118,"_119":47},"publisher","Berkley","page_count",352,"duration","published_date","pub_date","August 18","isbn","9780593818657","asin","0593818652","hex_code","#f8e888","language","English","purchase_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/5574i/57930ebc-9a3d-44d9-8aa7-c40c45c9077c/1786998683.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F5574i%2F57930ebc-9a3d-44d9-8aa7-c40c45c9077c%2F1786998683.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_109":110,"_111":112},"tags",[83,84,85,86],{"_19":29,"_87":106,"_89":90,"_53":-5,"_51":107,"_92":108,"_94":47,"_96":47,"_97":49},{"_19":102,"_87":103,"_89":90,"_53":-5,"_51":104,"_92":105,"_94":47,"_96":47,"_97":49},{"_19":98,"_87":99,"_89":90,"_53":-5,"_51":100,"_92":101,"_94":47,"_96":47,"_97":49},{"_19":25,"_87":88,"_89":90,"_53":-5,"_51":91,"_92":93,"_94":95,"_96":47,"_97":49},"name","Romantasy","category","genre","romantasy","url","/genres/romantasy","selectable",true,"sensitive","position",19,"Science Fiction","science-fiction","/genres/science-fiction",4,"Fantasy","fantasy","/genres/fantasy","Romance","romance","/genres/romance","ratings",{},"recommend",{"_113":49,"_114":49,"_115":49},"yes","no","maybe","Paperback","type","print","audio","Cosmic Chaos","bbc25586-d681-43cf-8509-67ab858e5940","order",{"_19":124,"_87":125,"_51":126,"_127":-5,"_128":-5,"_129":130,"_131":132,"_133":95},"b5accce7-ea80-4273-b074-2cc8bcbc6870","Kimberly Lemming","776-kimberly-lemming","biography","image","books_count",10,"roles",[134],"in_catalog","author","isLoggedIn",["P",136],"result","seo",{"_13":146,"_147":148,"_53":149,"_150":151,"_92":152,"_153":154,"_155":156},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","titleTemplate","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","https://blackauthored.com","robots",{"_170":47,"_171":47},"jsonLd",{"_157":158,"_159":160,"_87":146,"_161":162,"_163":164,"_92":152},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[165,166,167,168,169],"https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
