Barbarian’s Prize by Ruby Dixon

It’s hard being the most popular girl on the ice planet. The alien men are falling all over themselves to impress me in the hopes that I’ll take them to my furs. But they don’t know my secrets ,none of them do. And they don’t realize that behind my smile, I just wish they’d go away. I don’t want any of them. I want someone else – someone with a gorgeous blue body, big horns, and the most intense gaze ever. He’s the only one that knows the truth. Maybe with him, I can work through my fears of the past but I’m pretty sure he wants more than just friendship. He wants forever, and I’m not sure I can give it.
