Touch of Starlight
About
She was promised a spa day, instead she woke up in another galaxy.
Amanda Collins balances budgets, not interstellar conspiracies. But when her sister's luxury spa voucher ends with her clawing her way out of a malfunctioning cryopod on a derelict space ship, her problems are suddenly a lot bigger than a looming audit deadline. Together with three fellow abductees they've escaped their pods, raided the vending machines, and ambushed the first alien to board the ship. Which is awkward, because Squadron Leader X'Ariv Jah'nar is the rescue party.
X'Ariv has talked his way out of every mess in his career. But nothing prepared him for the golden-haired alien in the corridor whose scent makes his hearts beat in sync and common sense fly out the window. Now he's lying to his admiral, his family, and the entire V'Arian Federation to hide four human women in plain sight as silent, shrouded pilgrims, and find out what happened to them. The deception has to hold — because whoever spent a fortune to smuggle four women across the galaxy doesn't leave loose ends.
She can't tell if what she feels is real or manufactured. He can't control the colors blooming on his skin every time she's near.
Book One of Project Chrysalis, Touch of Starlight is a steamy alien abduction romance featuring fated mates, a hero who will burn his career down before he lets anything happen to her, found family, a conspiracy that gets darker the deeper it goes, and a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for readers who like their aliens devoted, their heroines resourceful, and their slow burns not too slow.
