Tempting Rever
Book three in the Zorn Warriors series.
Brenda spent four years trapped in an unhappy marriage. She’s so desperate to
start a new life somewhere safe that she’s agreed to go to another planet with a
handsome alien stranger. When he’s killed, she finds herself in the home of a Zorn
warrior willing to protect her until the fallen warrior’s brother arrives to claim her.
Brenda never believed in love at first sight until she gazed into the gorgeous blue
eyes of Argis Rever. He’s tall, dark, sexy…the kind of guy she’s always dreamed of
finding—and already bound to another human woman. She could have lived with
letting the man of her dreams slip through her fingers, except he isn’t happy—the
horrid woman doesn’t even want him, and will never love him.
Brenda has lost a lot in her life but she’s not willing to lose the one chance at finding
happiness with a man she’s falling in love with. She’s more than ready to start tempting
Rever into finding his own happiness…with her.

Chapter One
Nine days had completely and totally changed her life forever. Brenda lifted her
chin, staring up at the tall alien who was in control of her future, her heart pounding
hard in her chest. She was a little afraid but mostly it was nerves. What in the hell is going
to happen to me now?
Hyvin Berrr was the leader of an alien planet and looked to be in his late thirties but
she knew he was much older than that. Defined muscles under deeply tan skin rippled
with his movements as he paced in front of her, his body tense. He wore a shirt with
loose pants that barely hid muscular thighs. She was on the planet Zorn and she’d
traveled a long way from Earth to reach it.
Zorn males were all over six feet tall, mostly closer to six and a half feet, and they
were big all over. He had broad shoulders, a thickly muscled body, and was very
physically fit, making her believe they really were a warrior race. He stopped abruptly,
turning to face her, and she stared into his beautiful eyes that expressed compassion as
they fixed on Brenda.
“I am trying to be fair to you, human.” He growled a little when he spoke in a soft
tone. “My warrior who claimed you on your planet is dead now so you are without a
male to protect you. His brother has been notified and he has a desire to claim you but
he is a week from Zorn. As his brother’s bound he has the right to take you into his
home and he is on his way to come for you.” He paused. “I am sorry for Valho’s death.”
Pain gripped her as memories flashed through her mind instantly at hearing that
name. Brenda had a hell of a fight with Tim, her husband. She’d married the wrong guy
but by the time she’d realized it, she was already in a domestic hell nightmare. She had
spent four years trying to get out of a marriage on the slow road to utter misery but Tim
had broken three restraining orders and finally had bullied her into being too afraid to
leave him.
It wasn’t a proud moment in Brenda’s life to admit it was easier to put up with a
man’s shit, get pushed around, and be verbally abused than to live in the kind of terror
she had when she’d left Tim. She’d realized after she’d filed the first restraining order
that he was the type she read about from time to time, the guy who ended up killing the
wife who left him and she hadn’t wanted to end up dead.
Nine days ago they’d had a hell of a fight and Tim had lost his temper worse than
normal, backhanding Brenda and ripping her shirt where he’d grabbed her, and she’d
fled their home in terror for her life, just running into the nearby woods. She’d just
needed to get away to think, to formulate some plan to get out of the mess she was in.
She knew she was too good for Tim, too damn smart to end up staying with someone
who was that bad, and felt ashamed that she’d let fear keep her in a hellish marriage.
