Injured in body and soul while protecting innocents from attack, the once-proud orc firefighter has withdrawn into bitter solitude. Will Sarah’s desperate request for help be the key to unlock the damaged male hiding under his brooding green skin?

Sarah
The state's threat to condemn the house I inherited has left me racing against a looming deadline. In my desperation, I turn to an unlikely ally—the injured orc, Thornn, whose scars run as deep as his silence. I didn’t have time to find anyone else to help, yet I doubt my decision the moment Thornn reluctantly agrees to provide muscle for the job.

I never imagined those bare, glistening muscles would be so enticing I’d yearn to lick them. Nor did I expect to discover the tender warrior spirit he hides under his wounded exterior.

Thornn
I’m broken. Ruined. To not inflict myself on my friends, I accept Sarah’s job offer. I’m like a raw nerve—even her unfailing kindness pricks at me. I don’t know whether to go for a long run to clear my head or pull her into my arms and kiss her senseless.

Except I can’t keep my gaze off her as we work together, and I fist myself to sleep with images of her dancing in my mind.

Though I’m completely wrong for her, she’s the perfect woman for me.

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?

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?

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?

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?

Phaedra thought she left her least favorite holiday behind when she moved from Earth to another planet. It’s just her luck her hunky new mayor enlists her help to plan the town’s Valentine’s Day celebration. Can you blame her for describing it more like the 1920s St. Valentine’s Mob Fiasco than the chocolates-and-teddy-bear version?

Phaedra
It wasn’t my fault the mayor overheard my enthusiastic description of the best part of V-Day—1920s gangsters, molls, and shootouts in the streets. The panty-meltingly handsome male thinks I set him up to be the object of ridicule. Just the opposite. He’s the object of my deepest desires.

Azari
Phaedra’s gorgeous and brilliant, not to mention irritating as hell. As soon as I figure out how to forgive her for keeping such a big secret from me, I’m going to learn how to dance the Charleston in my pinstripe suit, spats, and Fedora. Because even though I swore off love, I’m going to find a way to make her mine.

I’m willing to take any job to pay the bills. The alternative, returning to Earth, is not an option.

The production company filming the Small-town Snowy Holiday movie right in the middle of my adopted town of Arixxia Fields is willing to pay me gobs of money to do hair and makeup for the cast. How bad can the gig be?

The leading male, the galaxy’s hunkiest star, is also the galaxy’s biggest ass. It’s a stroke of luck when, instead of the drunken, arrogant, narcissist, I get to work on his stunt double—the equally hunky super nice guy who can’t take his gaze off me.

Too bad our fiery attraction is forbidden. If I want to keep my salon and be able to pay for unimportant luxuries like food and lodging, Verik and I will have to keep our relationship secret.

How hard can that be in this small town where everyone knows everything about me down to my bra size? (Since everyone else knows, it’s 36C.)

Brekk waited a lifetime to find his fated mate. When Isabella discovers his monstrous secret, will Halloween fun turn into her worst nightmare?

Isabella

I love living on Hallion, but I miss my favorite Earth holiday—Halloween. What better way to fit into my new home planet than to organize a Haunted House in an abandoned meat packing plant? Bonus! The sexiest male on the planet just volunteered to help.

Brekk

I’ve tried to keep my frightening nature a secret from my charming fated mate. What will happen when she discovers I’m the real monster in her fake haunted house?

Taliz avoids people for a reason… his untamed predator. But when a stranded human arrives, can he restrain his inner beast before his monster decides she’s his prey?

Zaydie
I’ve traveled all the way to planet Hallion to research their winter holiday. Though I came to write a fluffy article for my editor, there’s nothing fluffy about the seven-foot-tall Khal-rah with his tail, fangs, horns, claws, and appetite for the hunt. He’s lethal and powerful and exudes sex appeal. Something deep inside me yearns to run to see if he’ll give chase.

Taliz
I’ve never wanted a female more than I want Zaydie. Being stranded in a cabin and sharing a single bed means I can’t avoid her scent, her lush curves, or the way her tiny pink tongue licks her full, berry-red lips. And while I want to please the intoxicating female, it would be sheer madness because she’ll want to flee from my beast. No power in the galaxy will help the little Earther run fast enough to escape me.

The Galaxy Gladiators recently rescued Ar’Tok from a life of enforced servitude. While learning comms to earn his keep, he accidentally stumbled into secret nightly communications with a mysterious female named Star.

Although they develop emotional and sensual intimacy during their talks, Ar’Tok never dreamed they’d meet in person. How will she react when the male she meets looks nothing like the attractive pictures of his race she’s been crushing on for months?

Star

I’ve been completely alone on this satellite since my parents died four years ago. I’m human—an illegal—there’s no safe harbor for me anywhere in the galaxy. I hadn’t allowed myself to acknowledge my soul-crushing isolation until my nightly conversations with Ar’Tok allowed me to connect with another living being for the first time in years. When my oxygenator malfunctions, he races halfway across the sector to rescue me. Although he looks nothing like I expected, it’s not his appearance that’s the problem.

Ar’Tok

Since she didn’t recoil at my scarred face and body, Star will surely hate me when she learns of my shameful past. Not even the gladiators know the truth. Maybe a miracle will happen when we share Blessed Peace Week together on the infamous Pleasure Planet.

Join Star and Ar’Tok on their journey to Paragon during the happy holiday. In addition to the drama, excitement, and passion you’ve come to expect from an Alana Khan book, you’ll have lots of fun adventures and laughter as you travel with this couple and the entire crew. This standalone book by bestselling author Alana Khan has no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
