Aliens might be common in New Martia, but half-Piscean Ty Metzler is still a bit of a fish out of water. His best friend Lawrence Trafford doesn’t seem to mind all that much. That changes when Lawrence’s parents make a power move to disinherit him from the family fortune. Ty’s seahorse biology suddenly takes center stage as the two friends scheme to secure Lawrence’s place in the line of succession. But even between friends, marriage and a baby are a lot to ask. Add in one friend who wants to be something more and a confrontational family, and even the sturdiest of friendships may seem like a sinking ship. Ty and Lawrence must sort out their feelings and their allegiances—or risk losing everything. Flirting with the Zodiac: Love Goes Interstellar Rife with different worlds and different species, each book in the Flirting with the Zodiac series reflects a cosmos of ways to fall in love, become a parent, and create a family. In doing so, each tale shows the endless possibilities of romance beyond the stars.

Falling into a nest of snake shifters can really shake up your love life. Crash-landing on an alien planet full of shape-shifting snakes is probably less than ideal, but that’s where Marty Yoon ends up when a solo flight to Barnard’s Star goes wrong. Lucky for him, his rescuers, Jasper and Orrin, seem less interested in making him their next meal—and more intent on making him their mate! Even though he's initially hesitant, Marty finds himself charmed by the naga—and longing for the family they’ve promised him. The arrival of a rescue team from Earth soon threatens the trio’s bid for domestic bliss, especially since the human crew seems bound, bent, and determined to take Marty back where he “belongs.” Can Marty convince them that his place in the universe is where his heart is—with Jasper, Orrin, and his new family—before it’s too late?
