Synopsis (Goodreads):

Can a forgotten alien warrior protect his newfound family?

Taranov spent years doing his duty before finally escaping his dying planet. His new life as a trader is calm, peaceful… and empty. Then he stumbles upon an abandoned ship, a helpless infant, and a beautiful female who can’t even remember her name. His instincts demand that he protect them, but his heart wants so much more.

Waking up on an alien ship is frightening enough, but her amnesia makes it even more terrifying. She doesn’t know if the massive green warrior is as kind as he seems to be, or if the child who feels like hers truly belongs to her.

Just as she begins to feel at home with Taranov and his ragtag crew, Wendy’s memory starts to return. She realizes that her very presence may endanger the baby and the male she is growing to love. What if the only way to protect them is to leave them?

Can Taranov keep his new family - and himself - safe from the horrors of the past and the dangers of the present?

Thoughts on A Gift for the Alien Warrior: Another human in a bad situation (made even more complicated by her lack of memory) and another Cire warrior who can't walk away once he sees her for the first time. Wendy is...well, she might know something bad happened, but she can't remember much of anything. The only thing she is sure of is that she trusts Taranov. The downside, he's not being entirely honest with her because he doesn't want to cause her more grief.

As for Taranov, he'd resigned himself to a life alone, so finding Wendy and the baby unlocked something in him he didn't know he needed. The thought of her leaving him and breaking up their new family unit fills him with dread. Which leads him to bend the truth a bit. He doesn't exactly lie, but he doesn't correct some of Wendy's misconceptions either.

Fortunately for Taranov, Wendy is the understanding sort. She's found a place she belongs and she's not going to give it up.

A little danger, a protective warrior, a family he won't walk away from, and a found family that works. I do enjoy these honorable warriors and their adoration of the human women who awaken them.
