I’m so excited to host Elizabeth Stephens’ newest Giveaway! As you probably know by now, I love the Xiveri Mates Series, and I’m super excited for Taken to Heimo, the newest book in the series. I can’t wait to read Svera and Krisxox’s story!
If you’re a fan of steamy sci-fi romance with strong females and sexy alpha males, then this is the book for you! Let’s check out Taken to Heimo before we get to the giveaway!
About the Book:
Series: Xiveri Mates – Book 4
Publication Date: Jan. 20th, 2021
Synopsis: Svera
He’s staring at me again. Protector, tormentor, roommate. It’s against my religion to spend this much time with Krisxox – or any male – but he’s a shadow I can’t seem to shake. For all his hatred for the human species, he joins me on my next mission to the human colony. Our welcome party? Deception, betrayal and pirates.
This isn’t my first time crossing paths with the pirates seeking to steal human women. But this is the first time that I’ve had the coordinates to an unprotected human space station – and the pirate king wants them.
Stuck in a desperate situation, I’m not sure if Krisxox is a help or a hindrance. He wants me to live, but he’s a short-tempered brute and I suspect that if he can’t learn to work with me – a human – both of us will end up dead.
Krisxox
I’m staring at her again. I don’t think she’s noticed. And that’s good. She’s a filthy human. I don’t need her knowing that she’s my one true mate. With enough hate, I intend to break the bond, but until then…I guess I’ll stick with keeping her safe.
That becomes a harder task than anticipated when human nature reveals its acidic underbelly. Deals brokered by ghosts bring pirates to our shores. They think they can take her and use her for information. Not sviking happening.
I’ll keep her alive. I’ll keep her at arm’s length. But what happens when we’re trapped together in a dungeon barely bigger than a box? Keeping her alive and fighting blood-thirsty pirates doesn’t seem so scary as what will happen when she finds out that she’s my Xiveri mate.
Taken to Heimo is a full-length (95k words), standalone, interracial, SciFi romance complete with a possessive alpha alien – who’s also a big jerk – and a sweet, smart heroine who has no trouble standing up to him. This story features fated mates who are also enemies-to-lovers, epic world building and steam – lots of it. All Xiveri Mates books can be read as standalones, each one with a guaranteed HEA, but I recommend reading book 1 first to set the stage. NO cheating, harem or love triangles. Violent action scenes may be disturbing for some readers.

Here’s what I know: aliens invade our colony every three years, hunt and claim the most beautiful of our women, then leave. Here’s what I don’t know: why the king of them is here this time, and why his black, glittering eyes are trained on me.
A hybrid with red alien skin and brown human eyes, I’m not pretty. I’ve got no family and no plans to ever have one – least of all with this monster of a male. I’m an inventor, a mechanic, a tinkerer. The alien king wants me for reasons I can only guess at, but I’m not about to be taken for a slave and his response to me is something I know I can engineer my way out of.
He plans to come back for me when I’m of age, but he’ll have to find me first. Our little colony is a scary, desperate place and I’m less afraid to face it, than to face him or the strange, alien sensations he stirs…
Raku
She is my Xiveri mate, yet she runs from me – straight into the horrors of her small, savage moon colony. Slaughtering in her defense is easy, while gaining her trust will be the true challenge.
She fears my kind and the horrors my treacherous general has inflicted on her humans. Does she not know that it is my blood rite to keep her safe against him and his even more dangerous off-world allies? No, she thinks herself my slave and in place of acceptance, offers me only pacts and bargains. Shamed by her pacts, I still take them all gluttonously, because though she knows only hate, I know only need.
Eventually, we will need more than just these pacts between us if I am to convince her that she is my Xiveri mate and if she is to take her place at my side, not as my slave, but as Voraxia’s queen.
