title: Enslaved by a Barbarian
author: McLeod, Anitra Lynn
description: He was a wanted man...
  Abducted and sold to one alien, computer-game programmer and math whiz Darin Poole is then abducted twice more before he's finally given to a vicious-looking barbarian to settle a debt. Considering how everyone wants him so desperately, Darin is shocked when Axoev Shadow actually offers him a surprising deal. Axoev is the leader of Clan Shadow, and though he's willing to take Darin in payment, he refuses to strip him of his rights. Axoev needs a way to protect himself from the designs of the women clan members, but Darin's proximity makes Axoev realize he has other far more pressing needs. Darin and Axoev aren't surprised when their relationship becomes physical, however neither is prepared for a deeply emotional attachment. But when the clan blocks any progression of their status, will Axoev keep his promise to let Darin go? Or will Axoev do almost anything to keep Darin at his side?
