All Lyra Kye wants is a relaxing vacation on a galaxy cruise before her life changes forever. What she doesn't expect is for her cheap cruise ship to literally explode, nor does she expect to crash-land on an alien jungle planet wedged inside a tiny life pod and wearing an even tinier red bikini. And she certainly doesn't expect a hot Luxirian to come to her rescue. After a successful career as a builder on his home planet of Luxiria, all Droxan wants is to be left alone. Hence why he’d purchased an entire planet—to keep people away. Including one beautiful human female who hurtles straight into his peace and quiet, disrupting everything he’s worked so hard to build, and tempting him beyond distraction. Quadrant patrol is weeks away from rescuing her and getting her off his planet. So when Droxan’s Instinct roars to life, recognizing Lyra as his fated mate, he knows he’s in deep trouble…especially when their intense attraction becomes harder to fight with every passing second. Rescued by the Luxirian is a novella that was originally published in 2022 in Claimed Among the Stars: A Sci-Fi Romance Charity Anthology. This new edition has been re-edited and includes a never-before-seen bonus epilogue!
