FROM VANGAR WITH LOVE: ALIEN LOVE LETTERS by Julie K Cohen

Her letters are filled with love… but they’re for the male I’m pretending to be. For two years I’ve been writing to a human female… and falling for her. She’s sweet and strong, but she doesn’t know the real me. Or what I’ve done. And she just arrived on my planet. To marry the man I’ve been pretending to be.     AmazonKU

FROM THOK WITH LOVE: ALIEN LOVE LETTERS by Susan Trombley

Can a grieving widow find love again with an alien who’s more tree than human and whose touch is toxic? Frannie – Still grieving for the husband I lost during the invasion of Earth, I signed up with the Human Outreach Alliance Network to become a bride in an arranged marriage with an alien. I don’t expect to find love in a match meant for political alliances, but I hope that leaving Earth behind for another world will free me from the heartache of my past. The Valentine’s Day reveal of my future husband leaves me in shock and despair. My “match” is a Thokost—an eight-foot-tall behemoth of a tree-man with a toxic touch. I’ll need to undergo a series of experimental treatments to make me immune to his toxin. To my surprise, the letters we exchange during the painful process reveal an unexpectedly sweet and thoughtful side to the four-armed, four-tailed, bark-skinned alien. My match to Zanthos may not be a disaster after all. But on Thok, the rules require more sacrifices for us to be together. This time, I may not survive them. This is a 30k word novella set in the Iriduan Universe but is not a part of either the Iriduan Test Subjects or Iriduan Universe Love Stories series. AmazonKU

FROM ZARPATHIA WITH LOVE: ALIEN LOVE LETTERS by Tracy Lauren

Scientist Olivia Mitchell sends a heartfelt love letter into the cosmos, begging the universe to give her the one thing she wants most: true love. Never, in a million years, did she expect to get a reply. Returning from his latest mission, the formidable alien warlord, Vortigon, is drawn by fate. Catching the scent of his mate on a hastily scrawled message, he sets his heading for Earth. Little does he anticipate the vast differences between his people and Olivia’s. The unlikely couple navigate the complexities of love, grapple with the merging of cultures, and forge a connection that transcends the boundaries of their disparate lives. Will love prevail, or will the cosmic forces that drew them together crumble? “From Zarpathia, with Love” is a tale of interstellar romance, where destiny defies the vastness of space, and love becomes the gravitational force that binds two worlds.     AmazonKU

FROM ZESTRIA WITH LOVE: ALIEN LOVE LETTERS by Rena Marks

Vanna: That was our dream back when we were eight. We lived on different planets, but once we figured out the art of letter writing, we learned enough about each other’s cultures to become best friends despite the distance. Required to attend space camp, we spent summers together and grew as close as sisters. Eventually we realized marrying her Zestrian stepbrother would have opened up a whole can of worms anyhow. And when I finally meet him? I wasn’t prepared for the rush of hormones that comes along with the Zestrian connection—the rare occurrence that happens to hit for us. Mish: Of all the people for the connection to recognize as my eternal mate, it chooses Vanna Suchey, wild child I’d hoped my little sister would outgrow. Not only did Brionna not outgrow her, but now Vanna’s on our planet and I can’t get away from her. She holds my job in her hands, my life in her hands, and my heart? In her hands.     AmazonKU

FROM EARTH WITH LOVE: ALIEN LOVE LETTERS by Sandra R Neeley

Valentine’s Day sucks. It always has. Especially for a socially awkward woman. Leave that woman alone, bitter and angry after the death of her husband, and it only gets worse. Her husband was the only one who ever understood her, the only one who ever cared. Probably because of his own social ineptness, but that’s beside the point. He’s gone now, and that’s not the worst of it — there’s a bit of lying by omission surrounding his death. And doesn’t that just piss her off! His long inactive email address is the only outlet she’s got. So, she floods it with her messages of frustration, messages of anger, and messages of loneliness. Messages that clearly show she’s given up, that she no longer even makes an effort. Little does she know, though, her letters to her late husband have been received. Oh, not by him. They’ve been intercepted. His position as a scientist with SETI put him on the radar of some very secretive, very surprising, very unexpected people. One of them in particular feels her words as he reads them, and makes it his priority to be sure that only he receives them. He wants more for her than simply learning to accept her situation in life and move on from her grief and anger. And if he has his way, he’ll be a part of her healing, and ultimately her happiness. But first he has to manage to survive a political coup, a revolt so to speak. It’s a necessary confrontation that hopefully will save not only her, but her entire world. Maybe then she’ll see him and accept him without fear. A lonely alien can hope, can’t he? This is a fun, quick, Valentine story of just under 33,000 words.     AmazonKU

ENTHRALLER (VERDANT STRING BOOK SEVEN) by Michelle Diener

The planet Aponi sits at the outer edge of the Verdant String. For Wren Thorakis, working as an Aponian Special Forces artifacts consultant, it means interesting assignments and unusual discoveries. Being captured and held for ransom by a strange cult while working on the moon Ytla was not something she expected, though. However, while escaping her captors, she stumbles across what could be the discovery of her career—one that no artifact consultant could possibly ignore—a genuine ancestral mothership. The mothership isn’t just amazing in itself, though. Wren finds herself the recipient of crazy-powerful nanotech. It helps keep her alive and one step ahead of those trying to hide the ship’s existence. When Wren starts working out who’s behind keeping her discovery secret, and why, she is plunged into a bigger plot than she ever imagined. A shadowy organization has its eye on Aponi, and isn’t shy to use the Verdant String’s fiercest enemies, the Caruso, to help them take it from the Coalition. When an Aponi Special Forces soldier, Ed Zeneri, who’s existence is also inconvenient to Wren’s enemies, is lured into a trap with Wren and they both come under fire, Wren’s nanotech does whatever it has to to keep her safe—including enthralling Ed to protect her at all costs. Ed knows his reaction to Wren isn’t normal, or even sane, but as the compulsion to put himself in front of anything coming at her recedes, he finds he’s more than inclined to do it of his own volition. He joins forces with Wren to try to stop the takeover of their home planet, and as they race the clock to find the answers they need, he also has to convince Wren that what he feels for her is real. As real as the enemy battleships hovering in Aponi’s nearspace. As real as the deadline to bring them down. As real as it gets.     AmazonKU

DOING THE MAMBA (ANGUIS DEFENDERS BOOK FIVE) by Stephanie West

Stephanie’s nickname is Mother, not only because she’s the leader of a clandestine refugee settlement, but because she’s literally the mother of the alien hybrids who rescued her and started the secret station on Kepler for people just like them. Her hands are more than full when Mamba, an Anguis general, and his crew unexpectedly arrive at her secret station, fleeing the same aliens who’d abducted her. There’s something about his raw, exotic masculinity that calls to her. He’s built like a god of war with camouflaging skin, spikes embedded in his forearms, and venomous fangs. Clearly Mamba is from a race of warriors. If that isn’t enough to set off alarm bells, the fact the Anguis Empire is still allied to her enemy should. Despite her better judgment, Stephanie baits the overbearing general. Much to her surprise Mamba returns the volley and things escalate from there. With each taunt it becomes harder to tell if they are enemies or something more.   AmazonKU

Nothing like your life blown to bits… or should I say lives. Needless to say, the guys and I aren’t talking because of what they hid from me, but that doesn’t stop my questions from plaguing me. I know just the man to help give me answers as long as I can trust him when he says he respects my space. And despite everything, I miss them, all of them, but I no longer know if I can trust my heart when my head says something else. All I want is to decide my own fate, but I don’t even know that’s possible, and with Dr. Smith still on the hunt, I may lose my chance to decide forever.     AmazonKU

This assignment is no different, until her imp informs her there’s an angel assigned to eliminate her. Faith is that angel. At once ancient and innocent, she’s in over her head on this assignment. She’s an angel, though, charged with a mission, so she confronts the demon, and…Neither of them could have planned what happened next. Now they’re both searching for answers to questions they didn’t know needed asking. And the answers they get will change everything they thought they knew.     Amazon

DRAGON KING’S INVENTOR: GAY FANTASY ROMANCE (THE DRAGONS OF SERAI BOOK 12) by Amy Sumida

I will never be weak again. After the man I loved mated a Dragon King, I knew I had to make a fresh start. Rontor may not have loved me, but he did care for me. He taught me to be strong. To know I had value. That I was worthy of being loved. Before I left Vix, I promised him that I would never let a man abuse me, not even a Dragon King. That promise was an integral part of the new life I was building for myself. If I wanted to be happy, I had to be strong. But every time I’m near the Dragon King of Sken, my strength fails me. The last Dragon King I was with had mistreated me and then stolen the man I loved. King Dhrostan isn’t a bad man, but he soured me against all Dragons, especially kings. And King Rianvar of Sken is just as arrogant, demanding, and dominant as King Dhrostan. I sense that there is more to him. Something fragile beneath the hard exterior. A man who could command me and love me. Who could hold me down and lift me up. But my newfound strength was far too precious and fragile to risk on a man like him.   AmazonKU
