He’s wealthy, he’s mean… and he’s about to meet his match! Life on the alien planet of Londria is difficult for humans, but Bobbi is determined to make the holiday season a special time for her fragile little brother, Tim. Desperate for funds, she’s even willing to take a job working for the coldest, meanest, most hard-hearted alien in the entire city. Skruj is only interested in accumulating more wealth. He has absolutely no taste for social events—until they stand between him and a new source of income. Since his attendance requires a companion, he reluctantly decides to hire one. Unfortunately, the only female willing to agree to his meager terms is a pathetic—but unexpectedly alluring—human. Three events. Three nights. How hard could it be? As the snow begins to fall, neither one of them is prepared for an unexpected attraction and a dose of holiday magic!

He keeps to himself, but when we team up to prepare the settlement for the upcoming festival, I know the sparks fly in both directions. But how do I get a grumpy alien to admit his feelings for me? Rubi is lovely in every way, but the feisty human female isn’t planning on staying on Stryxia. Her home is on Earth. I’ve no interest in a brief romance. I want Rubi as my mate, permanently, but that isn’t on her agenda. Still, I agree to work with her on the upcoming human-Stryxian festivities. When one of my transports, carrying supplies to my settlement, is disabled out on the Sanrous plains, I head out to repair it. In a moment of weakness, I invite Rubi along for the ride. It shouldn’t take more than a day, after all. But the problems with the transport ship are a little more complicated than they appear. It seems Rubi and I are in for a bumpy—and very surprising—ride.

I'm falling for an alien who's forbidden. Does our interstellar love stand a chance? The alien I’m crushing on has one destiny—to set up the computer tech division on the new colony before returning to his home planet. As for me, I’m supposed to make sure the aliens locked in stasis on the interstellar ship arrive on the planet ready to assume their duties. Then it’s a one-way back to Earth for me. I’m not supposed to wake one of them up from his long winter’s nap. I’m also not supposed to sneak Sleye out of the lab and whisk him off to the holiday party as my merry +1. And I’m definitely not supposed to take him back to my cabin afterward and tuck him into my sugar plum bed. Once word spreads through the cosmic grapevine about the heat growing between us, there will be caroling chaos for lightyears. You see, waking him from stasis early will cause an intergalactic incident. And our hookup puts me on the very naughty list. The powers that be will terminate our love unless we can convince them that the magic between us will last for more than just a few holiday nights.

I love sexy aliens and independent heroines. I grew up on Star Trek: Next Generation and Star Wars (and I adore them equally). My favorite superhero is Thor (with Aquaman a close second because, well, Jason Momoa), my favorite dessert is key lime pie (okay, fine, all pie), and I still lament the loss of Firefly. I live in North Carolina in the US and have one husband, two teenagers, and two neurotic cats. I sometimes wish I could teleport to a holographic space station like the one in my tribute brides series (or maybe vacation at the oasis with the sand planet barbarians). :-) When I'm not writing, I love to paddleboard, dive, travel, and read obsessively!
