She doesn't want to be tied down again
He thinks she's his second chance
Who will get their way?

I spent more than half my life sacrificing for my family only to be dumped for a younger woman. Now my kids are grown, and a luxury space cruise full of hot alien men sounds like the perfect fresh start. The very first night on board, I hook up with a blue-skinned alien who leaves me breathless. But no matter how charming and attentive Kiozhi is, I refuse to be strapped to a single man ever again...

Then we end up on a shuttle excursion together, and of course it crash lands on a hostile planet where having a mate is my only salvation.

I should've known all those Sci-Fi Romances books held a kernel of truth.

This alien bought a date at a charity auction. Now he thinks he owns her.

Purchased by a prince
When the Intergalactic Dating Agency hires Georgie to plan the first ever human-alien matchmaking soiree, Georgie thinks a charity auction for the local animal shelter will be the perfect ice-breaker. But to get the local singles to participate, she has to set an example, so she offers herself as one of the dates.
What she doesn’t expect is for her alien buyer to be so freakin’ hot. A few drinks in, and Georgie finds herself alone on a spaceship with a blue-skinned, muscle-bound male.

Misunderstood matchmaking
The Kirenai shapeshifters are known for the pleasure they give their bedmates, and Prince Arazhi is no exception. When his family insists it’s time for him to produce an heir, the last thing he wants is a jealous, power-hungry female weighing him down, so he heads to Earth. Human females are supposed to be pliant and fertile, willing to bear children without permanent bonds.
There, he spots a female with a regal bearing that makes his blood thrum hot. Better yet, it appears that she’s for sale.

But when Georgie not only refuses to be owned but also claims to be barren, Arazhi must choose. Will he follow his heart, or fulfill his duty?

Jennifer
After my ex-boyfriend steals a year’s worth of my astronomy research and publishes it as his own, I fear all is lost for me. Then my twin sister wins tickets for an alien space cruise, giving me a hail Mary to turn in my college thesis on time.

But only if I can keep my eyes on the stars instead of the hot, blue-skinned porter helping me with my luggage…

Nazhin
As the owner of Demod Industries and one of the Intergalactic Dating Agency’s top sponsors, why am I pretending to be a lowly porter? Because Jennifer has made it clear she wants nothing to do with the guests who are looking for matches. So I bide my time and remain by her side. I know she’s my mate. A Kirenai’s iki’i doesn’t lie.

But when we crash on a hostile planet with a species who believes females have a single purpose, the only way to protect Jennifer may be to claim her for myself—whether she wants it or not…

I hate to travel. Loathe it, in fact. I'm quite happy sitting at home with my dog and making custom embroidery to sell on Etsy. But when I win tickets to an intergalactic singles cruise, my sisters bully me into going. The next thing I know, I'm acting stupid over a shuttle pilot with brilliant blue skin and a smile that could melt the clothes right off my body.

Then a freak accident strands us on a hostile alien planet and not only does it look like I'll never see home again, but the locals are hell-bent on rutting with anything female. The only way to stop them is to let Tazhio claim me. And once he claims me, I'll belong to him forever…

Too many cooks

Bethany’s producers are threatening to end her cooking show if ratings don’t improve, so she decides to bring some alien cuisine to the mix.

Out of the frying pan

Izhima’s not a people person. He’s a food person. And he just wants to be left alone to cook. But when a human female barges into his kitchen and tries to sabotage his latest recipe, she ends up ejecting them both out of the airlock. Now he has to risk his own life to get the unconscious woman to safety.

But when the human wakes up with amnesia and the dirtbag crew of a salvage ship starts eyeing her in unsavory ways, he’s driven to protect her yet again. Izhima convinces everyone—including the female herself—that she’s his mate. Now he’s got to play the part until they reach the next space station. And the once-abrasive female is becoming more tempting by the minute…

Fall in love with a surprising new alien shapeshifter!
