HIS
PLANET. HIS RULES… Trapped by Alison Aimes is an action-packed,
sexy sci-fi that takes you to the brink of oblivion on a planet where
only the strong survive. When Bella West crash lands on penal planet
Dragath25, the only thing standing between her and a mass of brutal
criminals is one of their own, a ruthless loner known only as 673.
But what starts out as a desperate trade based on protection and raw
lust soon blossoms into a scorching need that will push them both to
the edge. A tale of unbridled desire, stunning sacrifice, and
unwavering love, Trapped is the first book in The Condemned Series.
Cadet
Bella West has one simple objective when she joins the scientific
mission to Dragath25, the notorious penal planet housing Earth’s
condemned. Earn the credits necessary to save her family from
starvation. But when her shuttle crashes and the majority of her crew
perish, her simple mission becomes complicated fast. Now, to stay
alive she’ll have to depend on one of Dragath’s own. But such
protection doesn’t come free.
Convicted
of a crime he didn’t commit, 673 has become more beast than man
after eight grueling years on an unforgiving, hazardous planet of
dirt and rock—and even more treacherous inhabitants. He doesn’t
look out for anyone but himself and he certainly never grows
attached. So when the bold female offers him pleasure in return for
protection, he takes the deal without hesitation. He never expects
how her touch will alter him. Or the growing realization that saving
her may be the key to his own salvation.
But
as dangers mount and their 'simple' deal unravels will he prove to be
her surprise savior or her ultimate downfall? Because caring for
someone on Dragath25 may prove the greatest hazard of all.

Excerpts
First
Excerpt: First Touch (343 words)
“Come.”
He held out a calloused palm.
She
swallowed hard, her stare raking from his scowling face to his wide
chest and muscular thighs. Payment had already come due.
“No.”
Davies grabbed Bella’s arm, glaring at the mud man. “This isn’t
right. Take me instead.”
His
scowl deepened.
“It’s
okay.” Bella hurriedly slid her hand into his. Davies offer was
unbelievably brave, but Bella would never allow it. Her colleague was
Council—and injured. She’d never survive this. Plus, the idea of
a deal had been Bella’s from the start. And she couldn’t regret
it. Not when they were all still alive.
His
skin was rough—and surprisingly warm.
A
shiver slid down her spine. So much so that it took her a second to
realize he’d gone perfectly still. His gaze locked on their
intertwined palms. Something that looked a lot like wonder etched in
the hard planes of his face.
Her
gaze skittered to Davies’. Her colleague looked equally confused.
It
hit Bella then. Human contact. He was reacting to the sensation of
touch. Cherishing something as simple as the heat of her palm against
his.
A
wave of sympathy rippled through her. This man might be a criminal,
but he was also a living being. One who had clearly been alone for a
very long time.
On
instinct, she interlaced her fingers with his, pressing their hands
closer.
He
shuddered, his eyes sinking shut, his face tilting upward, the way a
person might delight in the sun on his face after a hard, dark
winter. Her chest went tight.
After
a lifetime of being just one more mouth to feed, one more body that
had to be clothed and housed using Earth’s ever dwindling
resources, the feeling of mattering to someone was unfamiliar—and
nice.
“It’s
okay.” It was the same words she’d said before, but this time she
meant it. “We‘re on your side….F—friends.”
His
eyes flared open, his grip tightening, more possessive now than
cherishing. All hints of vulnerability wiped away. “I’m not
looking for a friend.”
