Ukuri: An Alien Conqueror Romance - Blades of Arris, #5

I'm in love with a villain. Ice-cold smile, shiny collection of scalpels, and he's ravenous to use them on me. Joke's on you, mad scientist. I've been trying to cut this sickness out of me since forever. Not all scars are in a place that you can see. In your frigid alien embrace, I've found myself. So why the hesitation in those pretty silver eyes?You're the big bad conqueror. I'm just an ordinary human.
Right?Put me in your maze. Let the experiment begin. *** Contains unique alien shifters, fierce passion, and fated mates who defy everything to be together! Although it continues plot lines from the previous novels, this complete, self-contained, epic happily-ever-after can be read as a stand-alone. TW: suicide, self-harm, medical trauma Asexual readers note - the heroine identifies as ace, and may more properly be demi.
There is a lot of (imho necessary!) sex in this book. A lot. It's recommended for any readers who enjoy high heat romance and who don't mind the first-person POV.
