An alien rescue leads to an unexpected marriage

Jade’s attempt to return to Earth is complicated by Clecanian customs: she must remain on the planet for a year and choose a husband. Her choice of Theo, a scarred mercenary accustomed to solitude, raises his suspicions, and their required time together brings attraction into a situation neither planned. The setup combines alien-world romance with questions of belonging, cultural expectations, and the strain between a possible new relationship and Jade’s wish to go home. The conflict rests on two competing uncertainties: whether Theo can trust Jade’s motives, and whether she can imagine staying on Clecania.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in science-fiction settings paired with romance.
  • Readers who enjoy stories involving arranged or culturally required marriage.
  • Readers drawn to a relationship complicated by suspicion and a desire to return home.

Book overview

Being kidnapped by aliens is only the start of Jade's problems...

 

Thankfully, her rescuers, an alien race known as the Clecanians, are willing to protect her, but she has to stay on their planet for one year and respect the rules of their culture-including choosing a husband. Jade refuses at first but decides to play along until she can find a way back to Earth.

 

Theo, a scarred mercenary who prefers a life of solitude, is stunned when Jade selects him as her husband. After years of being passed over, he never imagined he would be chosen and neither did anyone else. Only one explanation makes sense...the curvy enticing female must be a spy, and Theo's determined to break her cover using any means necessary.

 

As Jade and Theo are forced to spend time together, their chemistry becomes undeniable. But neither can afford to bring love into the equation, especially since Jade seems determined to go home. After all, she can't possibly stay here, right?
