Xurek book cover

Xurek

2023

It’s the intergalactic cruise of a lifetime, a chance to meet aliens and travel to exotic locales. On a lazy river excursion, I’m stuck sharing a float with Xurek, a cocky orc commander in the interstellar military. Leave it to him to insist on taking an axe on an inflatable float. The more anxious I become, the calmer he gets, which only irritates me more. I should ignore him, but I can’t. He’s too hot for his own good. It’s his fault when we capsize. I swear. When we miss our shuttle back to the ship, we're stranded on this forsaken planet. Our only hope lies in a village on the opposite side of a dangerous jungle. Finally, his axe comes in handy—which he mentions at every opportunity. If I seek shelter—and a bit more—in his arms during the night, who can blame me? What we’re doing will end once we escape this planet. Right? Xurek is a standalone monster romance set in the Monster on Board world written by USA TODAY bestselling authors Alana Khan and Ava Ross. Expect steamy hijinks, humor, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Arckon

2023

My destination wedding on an interstellar cruise ship just took a turn for the worse. Or was it actually a turn for the better? There’s nothing more embarrassing than having my fiancée’s girlfriend shriek “no, stop!” in the middle of my wedding. Except nearly passing out at my now ex’s feet. His family has the nerve to laugh, and I cringe at the altar until a blue-skinned, winged alien named Arckon swoops down from above like an alien avenging angel. With me cradled in his arms, he carries me away from my mess of a life, saving me from further humiliation. Now I’m stuck on the ship, running into my ex and his girlfriend everywhere I turn. To help me save face, Arckon offers to be my fake boyfriend. Between off-ship tours, succulent dinners, and stolen kisses with Arckon, I begin to suspect I’m falling in love for real. Rebound relationships never work, and Arckon and I will part when the starship puts into port. Will my heart break again when the cruise is over? Arckon is a standalone monster romance set in the Monster on Board world written by USA TODAY bestselling authors Alana Khan and Ava Ross. Expect steamy hijinks, humor, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Darthan

2023

An adoring alien merman has claimed me as his mate. I’m zipping across the ocean on an outer space jet ski above the mythical Lost City of Antheum when a freakish storm gathers so fast I can't make it to shore. I’m knocked overboard by ten-foot swells and sucked beneath the waves. Terrified and about to take in my last breath, I’m rescued by an alien merman with brilliant teal eyes and shimmering scales covering his muscular body. Claiming he’s the prince of Antheum, Darthan sweeps me away to an underwater castle where he woos me while swimming through gardens brimming with glowing sea flowers. His seductive kisses and loving words are easy to fall for and lure me closer with each passing moment. I can’t find a single reason to return to the surface. But his mother, the queen of the underwater world, will do anything to control him, and human-Antheun mating is not only forbidden, it's punishable by death. Dare I risk everything to stay with my alien merman? Darthan is a standalone monster romance set in the Monster on Board world written by USA TODAY bestselling authors Alana Khan and Ava Ross. Expect steamy hijinks, humor, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Jarrn

2023

I’ve fallen for my best friend, but my past might drive him away. I messed up, and something horrible happened, but I’ve done what I could to make things right. I’ve cared for the ogre injured by my actions, and now Jarrn and I are best friends. This sweet, burly guy is easy to love. When he’s offered a job on an interstellar cruise ship performing in Monsters in Review, he invites me to go with him. We didn’t know they’d put us in the same cabin. The fun we share spending our free time together during the day is far surpassed at night when I drool in the audience as Jarrn thrusts his hips on stage—wearing almost nothing. When we share our tiny bed, it’s all I can do to keep my hands to myself. Too bad Jarrn only sees me as a friend. I’d rather have that than nothing. Just when I think he's developing feelings for me, my past catches up. Will it separate us forever? Jarrn is a standalone monster romance set in the Monster on Board world written by USA TODAY bestselling authors Alana Khan and Ava Ross. Expect steamy hijinks, humor, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
