Plagued with panic attacks and anxiety, Lara isn't sure she'll ever be comfortable living among the male dominated Hissa let alone finding one to mate with. Then she meets Selon and it seems her path to healing might include falling in love with the handsome and kind male. Created to be an ornamental slave, along with her twin sister, Lara Stray couldn't be more different than her dynamic sibling, Mara. While Mara managed to gain her freedom and eventually earn enough to own a ship of her own, Lara found herself being owned again. The twins couldn't have led more different lives. Lara's path led her to be deeply traumatized, resulting in a fear of men and crowds. Which is just perfect when her sister Mara and mate Tiran rescue her from a ship under attack. Of course, they're not alone. They've brought along a whole civilization of Hissa warriors desperate for females. What could possibly go wrong? Although Hissa wants her to heal and find a male among them to enter into a Family Pact, Lara's convinced her broken mind will never allow her to get close to any of these males, let alone engage in intimate relations. But then Selon enters her orbit, and everything seems to change. He's perfect. She feels calm around him. She can breathe and even talk about her past. Could this be the male for her? Would he even want someone as fundamentally broken as she is? Could she find peace and happiness after so many years of succumbing to anxiety and panic attacks? But most importantly, can she find it in herself to fight her fears to keep this male in her life? Tempting Selon can be read as a standalone with an HEA, although there are recurring characters from earlier novels in the series. This book is meant for an adult audience, 18+ readers only.
