Releasing Next Week - Clan Companions: Gabriel

The breakup

“I’m unwilling to give you up so easily, Gabriel.” As much as he appreciated the position his human lover was in, Baknu was definite on that. “We can and will figure this out.”

 “There’s nothing to figure out. Love isn’t meant for me. Can’t you see that?”

Another strike to Baknu’s heart. No one should believe in such a morose future. Certainly not someone like Gabriel.

Yet he’d uttered the word love. He saw the possibility with Clan Baknu. Despite the ache in his chest, Baknu’s pulse quickened.

“I don’t agree you weren’t meant for love. But for now, we’ll let you alone. You need space, so we’ll grant it.”

He bowed. His grim clanmates followed suit, and they left the shop. But not before Baknu saw a tear streak down Gabriel’s cheek.

Walking away from the weeping Earther was possibly the hardest thing Baknu had ever done, but necessary. The Dramok sensed insisting Gabriel listen to him at that moment would make things worse. Perhaps even spur Gabriel to make the awful separation final.

Leaving him crying in his shop was still heartbreakingly difficult.

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.
