The United Civilizations of the Andromeda Galaxy had been at war for centuries. Everyone thought peace was finally within reach… until a single act of sabotage ended an entire civilization overnight. Now, on the far edge of what was once a thriving galactic empire, a tiny mining colony finds itself very, very alone. Fifty thousand men, one thousand women, and a whole lot of awkward silence. It could have been the end of their story. But one stubborn woman refused to let their civilization fade away. She thought it would take years to find a compatible world. Instead, twenty-four hours later, she found Earth—and accidentally paved the way for the galaxy’s most chaotic dating app. With funding from Earth’s governments and a questionable sense of what humans find romantic, the Human Extraterrestrial Liaisons Program (H.E.L.P.) was launched. The match single alien men with single human women. The cultural differences. Like, “opossums are definitely not cats” kind of differences. Convincing human women to help solve a different sort of male loneliness epidemic is one thing, but getting them to stay and build a life on a distant planet far from home is another. Can love bridge the gaps between culture, language, and uh, physical difference? What will it take to make them believe their fate is among the stars? Planet WLN269 Needs Women is a new shared world series that imagines what it would be like if human woman decided to leave behind one male loneliness epidemic to solve another on a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy. All stories feature low-stakes alien-human romance stories, lots of steam, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
