Now Available for Pre-Order - Clan Companions: Gabriel

A price to be paid

Since he had the lovely boy’s full attention, Kisk took advantage of the moment. “You really should consider coming to Kalquor with us. Did you know there’s a substantial bounty on your head, Gabriel?”

 

Iliana gasped. Gabriel turned so pale that Kisk feared he would faint. He readied to catch him if he fell.

“On Mercy Colony?” The Earther glanced at his bat, as if he’d suddenly discovered he gripped an explosive that was a single second from detonation.

“On Dantovon.”

“Dantovon? Why would the police want you there?” Iliana relaxed her stance to eye her brother.

“Not the police. It’s a private bounty.” Takat showed Baknu one of the small packages he’d collected. “These smell really good. Chocolate chip cookies.”

“Are you actually asking first, for a change? Get them.”

Kisk kept his attention on Gabriel. “Ever hear of a lowlife scum by the name of Nal? He’s certainly heard of you.”

“The brothel owner? He put a bounty on me?” The kid seemed genuinely confounded.

“Oh, these are amazing. I’m taking all of them,” Takat garbled around a mouthful. He seized a canvas shopping bag from the nearby rack and returned to the shelves to add to his bounty.

 Kisk ignored his clanmate. “Nal’s far nastier than a mere brothel owner. He’s obsessed with obtaining your services.”

“Prostitution.” Iliana made a face.

“Worse. From what I could find out, Nal fixates on those he finds attractive. Keeps them to himself for private games, the likes of which I refuse to guess at. When he gets tired of those in his personal service, he puts them in degrading sex shows to amuse audiences.”

After fleeing Earth’s Mercy Colony six years before, Gabriel Rossi and his sister Iliana have carved out a decent life on a remote Adraf space station. Each avoids contact with other humans as much as possible. Gabriel’s life is adequate, but he yearns to be free to love as he was born to.

Clan Baknu has been tasked with convincing Iliana to return to Kalquor with them to join a clan. But when Baknu, Takat, and Kisk meet her stunning older brother, they’re eager to claim an Earther companion of their own.

Though Gabriel falls for the three men on sight, his priority is Iliana, who’s less than enthralled about joining a Kalquorian clan. Worse still, a sadistic slave trader is determined to claim Gabriel for purposes too terrible to imagine.

Clan Baknu pulls out all the stops to convince the Rossis that they can find love and happiness among the Kalquorians. They dare death to keep Gabriel out of the grasp of a murderous crime lord, who won’t stop until the Earther is his. Yet their greatest challenge is showing Gabriel dreams can come true…if he’ll accept their love.
