Mari never expects to find herself caged in a cargo hold on a spaceship. She quickly learns from her captors she’s headed to the meat market. When they try to return her to hypersleep, she resists. After allowing her to stay awake, Mari realizes her survival depends on connecting with the male in charge, Ekkatt. She must make him see her as a sentient being or she will end up as dinner.
Ekkatt has never spoken to any human. They are valued for one thing, the money they bring at auction. The Attun race is vegetarian, but other species prize human flesh and bring in good money. Then the female with red hair speaks to him and forces him to admit she has a name. Mari throws Ekkatt’s entire life into question, the biggest question…can he watch her sold to the highest bidder?
Many readers wonder where I got my inspiration for Captured. The truth is I dreamed the book from start to finish. If I have another dream there will be a sequel! Julia

I very much enjoyed reading this book & I really hope you have another dream soon. Would love to read more about the Attuns, Ekkatt’s brother and father. As well as what happen before, WAY before, Ekkatt’s epiphany.
Thank you, Deanna. Working on it.
