Slave ($5.99 list), by Cheryl Brooks

Book Description
“I found him in the slave market on Orpheseus Prime, and even on such a god-forsaken planet as that one, their treatment of him seemed extreme.”

He may be the last of a species whose sexual talents were the envy of the galaxy.

Cat is an enslaved warrior from a race with a feline gene that gives him awesome beauty, fearsome strength, and sensuality and sexual prowess unmatched by any other males in the universe. Even filthy, chained, and beaten, he gives off an aura of power and virility and his feline gene gives him a special aura.

Jacinth is an intergalactic trader on a rescue mission and she needs a man she can trust with her life.

She has spent years pursuing her kidnapped sister from planet to planet. Now her quest leads her to a place where all the women are slaves. “Jack” needs a slave of her own—one who can masquerade as her master.

Enmeshed in a tangle of deception, lust, and love, they must elude a race of violent killers and together forge a bond stronger than any chains.

Book Description
"You were all I had. No one but you can understand those words."

Choices. KarRa never had any in the Dark slums. Survival was a daily struggle for food and water. But the one thing KarRa did have was Rylan. She'd always had Rylan, from the first. He was all she really needed. Then Rylan made a choice that almost destroyed her. She had no choice except to survive without him. She learned, but she never stopped loving him.

"You left. And no one but you can understand that."

Then comes the day foretold, when Rylan has to face his Beast heritage if he wants to live. His destiny requires KarRa's blind sacrifice. She was ready to face any fate, except the one they offer: Rylan. For the first time a girl from the streets has choices laid at her feet: to start fresh, alone, or to forgive, to trust, to love. When life is about more than just survival, it gets complicated.
