Archlord of Exile

For thousands of years, the Sollirians abducted children from their homeworlds to fuel their magic. Inez would know. She was one of them. Like other star-maids, she was tethered to an archlord, Rylec. Unlike other star-maids, she fell for him, and he helped her escape. Three years later, Inez can't forget Rylec or the other star-maids she left behind. Unable to return to Earth, she's spent her time smuggling others out on unsuspecting intergalactic cruise ships. Then, a sudden knock on her door shatters her world - it's Rylec, her former archlord. Her current husband, one pesky detail she tried her best to forget. Exiled for helping Inez flee, Rylec is determined to bring her back to Sollir. Despite how much she's craved his touch, Inez swore she'd never be a star-maid again. But Rylec will risk everything to claim her once and for all... Archlord of Exile is the first installment in the Star-Marked Mates of Sollir series. Each short but spicy enemies-to-lovers romance features a wicked alien lord who can't resist his star-marked mate. While each story has a standalone romance, the series includes an overarching plot and should be read in order for maximum enjoyment. Note: Archlord of Exile previously published in the Claimed Among the Stars anthology.
