Delivered by the Defender by Evangeline Anderson

A woman alone on a dangerous planet, where females must have male protection to survive... A warrior intent on keeping his vow never to call a bride... When Selena is framed for a crime she didn't commit, can Valen save her? And will he lose his heart in the process? The Vampire and the Violinist... Selena Bates's ex was as boring as they come--entirely too vanilla for her adventurous tastes. Now she's getting a chance to visit a whole new planet where nobody is vanilla. On Ma'shorka Centra, all females are required to have a "Seal of Independence" prominently displayed, or a male Master who is responsible for keeping them in line. Unfortunately, Selena is single, but a girl can dream, can't she? And anyway, she's determined to have the adventure of a lifetime, playing her violin for the Emperor himself. Valen is a Defender--the Kindred version of a lawyer. He's also a Pitch-Blood Kindred--the only kind of Blood Kindred who actually needs to drink blood. Having taken a vow never to call a bride, he is intensely irritated to find that he is sitting next to a tempting, curvy Elite on the interstellar shuttle to Ma'shorka Centra. Determined to ignore her, he gives Selena the impression that he's a world-class jerk. However, when she gets attacked at the alien spaceport and her Seal of Independence is stolen, Valen comes to her rescue. But there's one big problem--without her Seal, she needs a "Master"-- and guess who has to step up and help her out? Valen is determined to keep his vow, no matter how tempting Selena is. But will he be able to resist the curvy little Earth female? You'll have to read...Delivered by the Defender to find out. Author's Note--The Bitten by a Kindred series contains stand alone novels based in the Kindred Universe about Kindred warriors with fangs. There are the Blood Kindred who only bite to inject their essence and give their mates pleasure, but there are also stories of their darker cousins...the Pitch Blood Kindred, who must drink blood to survive. If you love Vampire Romance and spicy stories of sensual biting and piercing, this series is for you. And if you've never read any of my Kindred books and want an overview of the Kindred Universe before you dive in, please note that the first book in my main Kindred series, Claimed, is always a free download everywhere. Hugs and Happy reading! Evangeline
