A marriage to a Scoriah is never convenient When Admiral Lucinda Ryan seeks a political deal for a husband, she negotiates a trade arrangement for her family and in return, secures the position of the alien Scoriah. All she wants is a marriage of convenience: a man in her bed, her ex unable to claim a hold on her family, and a trained killer to protect her daughter. If he growls while she makes him burn, all the better—as long as all that heat stays in her cabin where it belongs. Tay Bronson sacrifices himself to keep his family safe. If he has to have intimate relations with a human who can't tell him and his brothers apart, at least he can make her beg for her pleasure. Or at least, that's the plan. But when she introduces him to his insta-daughter whose sleep is disturbed nightly by what she claims is a ghost, he gets more than he bargained for. Keeping his family safe now means facing monsters he never saw coming. This full-length, gender-flipped Jane Eyre in space is a standalone but connected novel in the Space Grit universe. Be ready for action, explicit scenes, and a guaranteed HEA (Happily Ever After).
