In a bid to be more than a forgotten soul on the dying Earth, she enters the lottery, never expecting to win. She certainly never expected her lottery "prize" to be the hard faced, emotionless Ishk. Can a life on Karal, with an alien who hates everything about your species, be better than the life she wants to escape? Made to take one of the human females, Ishk takes her to his bed and mates with her, knowing it is his duty to produce a son before the Prime passes.

Or will it be too late and his past deeds will ruin the future he now craves. Hunger: Chosen by the Karal, contains scorching hot sex scenes and is meant for adults only. less
