Secret

A Sci-Fi Alien Warrior Romance (Barbarians of the Sand Planet, Book 9)

Fiercely independent. A loyal friend. And a liar.

Maya has a secret she can’t tell anyone—even if it means losing everything she loves.

Maya planned to come to the sand planet, find her missing friend Cat, and go back to her life as a stew on a star cruiser. But when she arrives, Cat is gone. That wouldn’t be so bad, but then her own chances of leaving the planet are destroyed. Now she’s stuck on the primitive planet, and someone is doing their best to keep her there—and hold her captive.

Karv might be a Crestek, but he’d always felt a kinship to the barbarians who live in the desert. Now he needs to keep Maya safe and away from the Cresteks hunting her, which means taking her to the Dothveks. But can they survive the trek across the desert and evade the ones tracking Maya? Can Maya hide from her past or will her secret destroy everything?

This standalone alien romance novel features a tough, independent heroine; a gorgeous alien warrior; action-packed battles; and steamy scenes in a desert tent.

If you like hot alien warriors, enemies to lovers, and fated mates romance with a happily ever after, you’ll love SECRET, the ninth book in Tana Stone’s sci-fi romance Barbarians of the Sand Planet series.

Love the story and that it continues And still works.

My memory isn’t what it used to be, when I was younger. But then so was the world.

Characters and story

🥰😊🤤🤭😱 Love all the books that she has on audiobooks . I still have another series I’m listening too

This is cute.

It's a crest, becomes a dosvek. Once again, absolutely love that I love. How he has such a wonderful moral compass? In comparison to the rest of the people in the city is that what we did wrong? We went to cities instead of living out with nature
That that makes me think that this has a double meaning.But I love it if it does

Another hit

I do so love a Tana Stone story. This series has such wonderful characters. A toast to the author and the narrators. All is wonderful. Can’t wait for the next book.

Secret

The storyline was very good. The plot was too. I liked it. Will there be more books on the sand planet about the sand planet?
