Knightqueen - [AUDIOBOOK]

A queen and her battle-scarred guard are on the run on an alien planet...with a relentless enemy hunting them. Knightqueen Carys of Oron lives a life of duty to her people and planet. After the murder of her parents, she worked hard to become a fair and dedicated leader. She never expected to be abducted by the vicious Gek'Dragar and locked in a mountain prison, but having her head knightguard at her side makes it bearable. Older, scarred Sten is duty personified, the one man she's always been able to trust. He's also the only man she's ever loved, not that she's ever told him that. Knightguard Thorsten Carahan has sworn to protect his knightqueen, and lives and breathes her safety. He works hard to keep his mind on his duty, and not on the too young, too beautiful, and too kind queen who is way out of his league. But now they've escaped their enemy's prison and are on the run on a dangerous planet. When they learn that the Gek'Dragar have created a lethal weapon to use against the Oronis, Sten knows he must get Carys home. But with danger at every turn, lines get blurred. With only each other to depend on, Carys and Sten's bond of duty and respect tangles with forbidden desire and need. As passion flares, they can no longer deny their connection, and they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people...and each other.
