Blitz: Hold by Claire Kent

Find the strongest man there. Give yourself to him in return for protection. It’s the only way you’ll ever survive.

Convicted of a minor crime, Riana is sentenced to a prison planet—a dark primitive hold filled with convicts vying for power. Her only chance of survival is with Cain, a mysterious loner who has won his territory in the prison through intelligence and brute strength. Sex is all she has to offer, so she uses it. She’s under no delusions here. No one is ever released, and no one ever escapes. Survival is all she can hope for—until Cain.

An earlier version of this book was published under the same title and a different penname by Ellora’s Cave. It has since been substantially revised and expanded.

His weight lowered over her as both of them started to come down. He was heavy and hot, but it wasn’t unpleasant. The texture of his breath was thick and damp next to her ear.

After a minute, he pulled up and rolled over, groaning as he sprawled out on his back.

It was still too dark to see anything.

Riana was burning with lingering pleasure and with absolute embarrassment. She never would have believed she could come—have an actual orgasm, a good one—in a situation like this.

She didn’t know this man. She never would have slept with him if she’d been in any normal situation.

But their blind, groping, half-asleep coupling might have been the best fuck of her life.

She’d thought he’d gone to sleep again, but suddenly his low voice wafted over toward her. “I’m Cain.”

“What?”

“My name. Cain.”

“Oh.” She swallowed and stared up at the blackness above her. “Hi.”

They lay in silence for a long time. She thought once more he’d fallen asleep, but then he surprised her by a question. “Why me?”

It seemed to come out of the blue, but she knew exactly what he was asking.

There were any number of answers to that question. There was no one better. He was the only one she could tolerate. She’d noticed the signs that revealed he could take what he wanted, even in a place like this.

But there was only one answer that mattered, so she told him the truth in the dark. “You’re the strongest one here.”

Claire has been writing romance novels since she was twelve years old. She has a PhD in British literature and, when she's not writing, she teaches English at the university level.

She also writes romance novels under the penname Noelle Adams.
