Smiley (New Species Book 13)

This is a rerelease of a previously published book. Vanni becomes angry when her fiancé manipulates her into attending a conference where his father's church protests the New Species Organization. She opposes the bigots' views. At the bar, she sits next to an attractive New Species member. Both are drugged without consent. Smiley struggles to believe the human woman would administer the breeding drug. He chooses to trust her and is committed to saving her life. He will hold her, protect her, and use physical closeness to help them both endure the pain. He considers her his female, though she has not yet realized this.
