For years I kept my desire for her hidden. Until now. Lashe Piloting Ambassador Anna Abel’s transport shuttle from earth to my home, the living Destran space station, has been my assignment for five earth years. My orders are clear—operate the transport and leave her alone. When the shuttle is damaged, I’m forced to crash land on an uncharted moon. Now, we’re stranded on a storm-ridden planet with no chance of rescue. I may not be able to hide my desire in such close proximity, but I will find a way to keep her alive. He’s quiet, strong and untouchable. Until now. Anna Being earth’s ambassador to the Destran people is a dream job, but terrible for relationships. Once again, I’m alone for the holidays, so when I’m invited to spend them on Destra, I accept. Lashe, my attractive transport pilot, is competent, polite, and has barely spoken to me in the five years he’s been ferrying me to and from the Destran station. When he admits to having secret feelings for me, our attraction blooms. But none of it matters if we can’t repair our ship and get out of here before a storm tears the ship (and us) to space dust. (Lashe is a standalone story that takes place in the Lords of Destra world.) These sweet and spicy holiday tales are part of the Rescued by the Alien collection, a collaboration of authors telling holiday tales with a sci-fi romance twist. Each book is a standalone, containing its own Happily Ever After. They can be read in any order.
