Long ago, Samun accepted that the Fires intended for him to be single. He’s too direct, too literal, too focused. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t felt a pang of longing as each member of his kif met their mates and started building families of their own. He’s thankful for his kif. Otherwise, he’d always feel on the outside how he feels on the inside—alone.
Still, Samun was as excited as the others to return home to M’Asra. But while they were away, their home was attacked and their people are on the run. He’s glad to be free of the distraction of a mate now. He can help his kif, help his people. That is, until he meets a cunning thief who shows Samun that his Fires have a sense of humor.
Samun knows what he’s meant to do—claim his mate as all his kifmatess have done. But his warrior brothers show him nothing but doubt. They can’t believe the Fires would send him an outlaw to love. They think Samun should concentrate on helping their people, reclaiming a home for their children. As outside forces loom ever closer, Samun knows to save one, he must claim the other.
Matters of the heart have never been his strong suit, nor is explaining his feelings to his family, but he’ll have to learn to do both, or risk losing everything.
Samun is the sixth book in The Kif Warriors, an alien mpreg series. This series is the first co-write between Crista and Kiki. They’ve joined forces to bring you all the humor, magic, steam and action that you enjoy!
