Blurb

Can a predator fall for his prey?

For ambitious research assistant Calliope Wright, the opportunity to study an alien lifeform is a dream come true. When the head scientist sends her into the alien’s cell, it feels like an opportunity to show she can be more than just a note-taker and coffee-maker.

As it turns out, the scientist has a more important role for her in mind, too: he intends to use her as bait for the carnivorous extraterrestrial.

Trapped inside the cell, Calliope will do anything to survive, including seducing an alien who sees her as a potential meal. But the more she learns about the curious and protective Subject X-11—aka X—the less certain she is that her affection for him is an act.

When an opportunity for escape comes, Calliope will have to make a choice: will she leave X behind and return to her normal life, or risk everything to be with him?
