My Forgotten Mate

Talia wakes up in space with no memory of how she got there or who the gorgeous Alien who claims to be her Mate is. Even more shocking, she is pregnant with his child.
Stranded in an unfamiliar world, Talia clings to the one thing she trusts: science. As a brilliant researcher, she believes retracing the steps of the mysterious experiment that caused her amnesia is the key to unlocking her past. But as she works with Syrex, the heat between them becomes impossible to ignore.
Syrex will do anything to help his Mate remember their bond, even if he has to make her fall in love with him again.
When they return to the planet where everything went wrong, an unexpected threat emerges. Will it tear them apart, or reignite the memories buried deep in her heart before it's too late?

Excerpt:
I shook my head, struggling to remember those defining moments in our lives together. "It feels like I am watching a movie I have seen already, but many years ago. Familiar and yet foreign. Like I am watching a stranger in my body. I wish I could remember."
A dull headache spread in my brain as I focused on the pictures, trying to bring them to life in my head.
"Don't force it, Talia," Syrex said as he saw my face contort with pain. "It will come back in time."
"Will it?" I asked, looking up into his gorgeous blue eyes. "How do you know? I lost four years of my life and want them back. I want you back."
He leaned in closer, his hand hovering near my face but not touching me. I bridged the distance until the hot palm of his hand cupped my cheek. My body reacted to his almost as if desperate for his touch.
"You have me, my Mate. Now and forever," Syrex said, his voice rough with emotion.
His tail swished behind him as his thumb caressed the underside of my bottom lip. His eyes were on my face, drinking in every inch of me as if he wanted to drown in my presence. Arousal rose inside of me as I licked my lips. His eyes widened, and his pupils dilated as his gaze was pulled to my mouth.
"Can I kiss you?" I asked. His eyes widened further, and I quickly added. "No tail, no touching. Just a kiss."
"Yes, of course," Syrex said. "Where? How?" He stumbled over his words in his excitement, making a warm feeling bubble up inside of me.
