Romance Among the Stars
Spicy Alien Standalone Romances
These are my standalone stories, novellas that appeared in anthologies first, and other books that don’t fit in one of my other series. Here you’ll find spicy romances set in a bookshop in space; snarky cats with wings; enemies forced to share the only tent; love found aboard derelict ships; and more.
Every one is a complete steamy story, with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happy ever after!
Royal Cargo
Don’t touch the cargo. That’s rule number one for an independent ship’s captain, and I’ve never been tempted to break it.
When Onyx, my beloved pest of a cat, claws his way into a container, I don’t have a choice. Which is how I find out I’m transporting a devilishly handsome alien, frozen in stasis. An alien I recognize from the news.
Kidnapped from his homeworld, half the galaxy is searching for Prince Karkonar. Thanks to Onyx, I’ve found him. It isn’t hard to see why he’s so popular. Mr. Tall, Dark, and Muscular is hot enough to melt steel, and he’s big—in every sense of the word!
The safe option would be to reseal the container and forget I saw him. The daring option would be to return him for the reward. Waking him up is the stupid option, so guess which one I’m going to choose?
Royal Cargo was first published in the Pets in Space 9 anthology, though this version has minor changes. It’s a fast-paced science fiction romance story about finding love in unlikely places, with no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a happy ever after to make you smile.
Ghost Ship Numenon
Khadrex is the most infuriating alien in the galaxy
Which might not be so bad, if he wasn’t also the hottest
Trapped together on the wreck of the Numenon, we need to find a way to cooperate if we’re going to survive the ancient warship’s curse. And I need to find a way to keep my eyes off his magnificent abs, or I’m going to end up in a whole other kind of trouble.
By the smoldering looks he’s giving me, he’s got the same problem…
Ghost Ship Numenon is a short, steamy science fiction adventure with a spooky halloween flavor. No cheating, no cliffhanger, just spicy fun with a happy ever after! The story first appeared in the Celestial Seductions anthology, and is republished here with minor changes.
A Bride for the Alien King
The alien king can save Eden’s colony, but only if she pays his price.
For Eden Sumner, the first human born on planet Eden, the bargain is an unwelcome one. She didn’t plan on marrying an alien, especially not if it means getting caught up in a noble’s schemes. The king may be the hottest male on the planet, but he knows it, and he’s only interested in how useful she is politically.
King Rhakaris needs a bride who fulfils an ancient prophecy, and he needs her right now. Eden might just fit the bill. She’s argumentative, disrespectful, and an all-round pain, but better her than the alternative.
With Eden’s colony on the line, and a duke scheming to seize Rhakaris’s throne, they both agree there’s no space for feelings in this relationship. Of course not. It would be a foolish risk.
And they aren’t fools… are they?
A Bride for the Alien King originally appeared in the Beyond Earth anthology, though this version has some minor updates. A fast-paced, exhilarating science fiction romance, this book has no cheating, no cliffhangers, just a happy ever after to make you smile.
Myra’s Monster
The huge alien looms over me, all beautiful blue muscles and barely-leashed rage
He moves with the deadly grace of a stalking tiger.
His claws could shred my spacesuit in seconds.
I’ve invaded his spaceship, woken him from ten thousand years of sleep, and my employers are looting without mercy. He has every right to his fury.
But it’s passion, not fear, that makes my heart race. And if I can tell anything from his body language, he feels the same…
I did mention he was HUGE, right?
Myra’s Monster was first published in the Monsters Before Men anthology, though this version has minor changes. It’s a short, fast-paced science fiction romance, with no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a happy ever after to make you smile.
