Feral and damaged. This alien gladiator has never been kissed.

Blayn is a vicious, dirty fighter in the arena. Picked for his ability to maim and destroy, he's the one gladiator you never bet against.

However, his feral nature has got him into trouble too often, and someone has to get him over his fear of being touched by anything other than a sword, claw or tooth.

That someone is me. Former cleaner in a pleasure house here on Trefa, now expected to help this dangerous gladiator become greater than ever, or else he'll lose everything, including his life.

No pressure.

Only Blayn has another side to him, one which reveals itself as we're made to spend time together. The damage done to him by those who seek to control him is truly terrible. And his ability to love and to claim me knows no bounds.

I shouldn't fall in love with him because I know what it means for both of us. Escape or death.

And no one has ever escaped the dome.

The Gladiators of the Gryn series from USA TODAY bestselling author Hattie Jacks continues with BAITED - Blayn and Izzy's story. Expect forced proximity, hurt/comfort, instalove and fated mates along with growling, nesting and plenty of possessive dominant Gryn behaviour which he can't quite control. Baited is going to make you feel all squashy inside as well as heat you up in all the right places!
