Taken by the Pikosa Warlord

I'm awoken after a thousand's year sleep to a brutal world ruled by a male who may be the devil himself-Ero. Strange that, though so much has changed, language hasn't lost its roots. Because of that, I'm able to interpret his tongue-the only one who can. I plan to use my strengths to free the captive tribes from Ero's brutality or, better yet, teach Ero that we can be stronger by working together. If I do that, I won't just change the warlord himself, I'll change everything. Too bad he's vowed to kill me first.

Welcome back to Earth-what's left of it, that is, in Xiveri Mates book seven. This barbarian warlord romance is gritty and by far the darkest in the Xiveri Mates universe, containing multiple violent scenes-including acts by the hero against the heroine. It is a complete standalone that can be read at any point and, as ever, features a fighting heroine who ensnares the villain and a guaranteed HEA.
