Claimed by Noatak

A grumpy alien pirate
>A female gunslinger
>When the ship's doctor offers a plan that could heal her, she jumps at the chance. All she has to do is mate with one of the crew before the process turns from restorative to lethal, and she has just the alien in mind. Too late, she learns Noatak isn't an option.

With one final hopeless option before them, they must risk everything before they lose it all.

Reader Promise: No cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA. The series contains swearing, steam, and possible triggers. Intended for audiences 17 years and older.

You can read this as a standalone, although you'll probably enjoy it more if you read Rescued by Qaiyaan first.
