The Breeder: Wasteland

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Eden Bradley. The Breeder, part of the multi-author Wasteland series.

Destined to serve the desires of an entire city, all she wants is one man. Or maybe two

There is only one rule in the Wasteland: survive.

A Breeder born to the Temple, Nitara knows the Great Goddess's plan for her: to bring life to what is left of an arid and wasted Earth. Since puberty she has been trained to arouse and titillate, to ensure the continuation of the human race. But when she meets Akaash, she begins to question her purpose, and the only life she's ever known. As is the custom, the warrior and hunter captured for her is strong of blood, though considered little more than a wild animal. Yet in his eyes she sees no primitive creature, but the man whose face and hands haunt her sensual dreams.

For Akaash, it is his shame that he has been captured by the Temple guards, his seed to be used to keep the blood of the city of Kroy Wen strong. He will be sacrificed to a goddess he doesn't believe in, for a people who are not his own, leaving his Wanderer clanand his bonded lover, Dhatribehind. Locked in the bowels of the Temple, he has a month to think of his plight. And to think of Nitara, the young Breeder whose virginity he is to take before she takes his life on the altar of her goddess. With each tortuously erotic encounter, however, Akaash realizes that Nitara is as much a prisoner as he isand as he contemplates his escape, he comes to understand he must take her with him. Akaash faces a nearly certain death either way, but only love can set them both free.
