His Human Temptation Lily Thomas

Jessica isn't a tough gladiator from the Friren arenas or a genetically enhanced assassin with years of combat training. So how in the cosmos did a simple human with a fondness for animals end up getting selected as prey for the Hennian's sadistic hunting parties? It seems the universe has a twisted sense of humor, especially when Jessica's survival comes to depend on a devastatingly handsome Sri'thaen politician who should want to see her dead. With no other options, she's got to convince him to help her - and avoid getting her heart stolen or ripped out in the process. Bruyx Ar'ewth can't believe he was captured and placed on a Hennian planet. How demeaning to be hunted, like some weak species! He doesn't belong here, and he's got a plan to strike back at his kidnappers and return to his people. When an opportunity finally presents itself, though, his plans could be thwarted by the infuriatingly tempting human. Thrust together by circumstance, Bruyx must move past his disdain and discover that strength hides within his newfound ally, perhaps even enough to consider a permanent partnership. Can be read as a standalone romance, but reading Seducing the Enemy first is recommended. Xacier is mentioned briefly from Xacier's Prize. Adira and Rakshasas, from Seducing the Enemy, have an appearance in this book. No cliffhangers, no cheating, HEA guaranteed!
