BlurbA poltergeist haunts Taro, dogging his international travels. It washes glasses, puts dishes away, and even dusts. At least he hopes it's a cleaning-obsessed poltergeist and not his own anxieties burbling over into neat freak fits he doesn't remember. When his property manager suggests he call paranormal expert, Jack Montrose, Taro's skeptical but desperate enough to try even a ghost hunter.

Jack's arrival crushes Taro's hopes of a dashing Van Helsing-style hero. Instead of an invincible hunter, he gets Ichabod Crane. As the paranormal puzzles multiply and Jack begins to suggest the entity might not be a ghostly one, Taro adds a budding friendship with Jack to his pile of anxieties. It's a race to see whether Taro's poltergeist or his relationship with the obviously-not-ace Jack will reach maximum strangeness first.

His fellow prisoner, a certain high-ranking, elite Stella officer holds him responsible for their failed plan. Yeah, it was supposed to be a quick in and quick out sort of mission. But no… Officer Gavnson just can’t let it go.

It’s not so easy trying to plan an escape when Noland keeps getting distracted by how his mission partner so very nicely fills out his uniform. And he suspects Gavnson is hiding something, too. As tensions run high, secrets are revealed that will change the both of them. There’s nothing like gunfights and running for your life to make that special bond.

Author(s): Jessamyne Hunter
Length: 290 pages
Publisher:

Genre: Romance / Space / Gay / Arranged Marriage / Aliens /

Notes:

BlurbSlightly edited version (25th December 2016)

Kellan Harrison is the son of Earth’s president and a successful ambassador. He is just not so diplomatic when it comes to the Phy’vohranians- lizard-like humanoids, which had been at war with the humans for over one hundred years now. 


The upcoming signing of a peace-treaty makes him reluctantly agreeing to accompany four women, who volunteer as marriage candidates for the alien crown prince. Instead he finds himself tricked into marring that prince himself- all arranged by his own father.


Knowing that a real chance of peace is at stake and the Phy’vohranian forces could easily turn Earth to meteor dust, he accepts his fate- including body alteration to have babies.
On his way to his new home, he comes to rethink his opinion on the alien race. But when he finally meets the strangely handsome, yet serious and grumpy Prince Sartak, he has no idea how to get along with that man. 


The wedding night’s a disaster but leaves Kellan pregnant; and conversation with the prince seems to be impossible, since the man replies only in sentences not longer than a few words.

Sartak knows he is not good with words and meeting the beautiful ambassador, to whom he feels an undeniable pull, is not helping with it. Trying to mend the things he has already broken in their relationship, he just doesn’t need the threat of another war.


As they forge a fragile bond of love, their unknown enemies try to tear them apart. They must learn who to trust and be able to rely on each other, or else their new found love cannot survive the hell descending upon them.

Warning: M/M human/alien romance with sexual explicit content and mpreg, violence, strong language
