The alien who hand-picked me to wed and bed is the most domineering warlord of the bunch. Lucky me.As the first humans allowed in Suevan space, there's a lot riding on my all-woman team. Earth desperately needs their tech, and I'm determined to prove we can negotiate the price. Without their planetary defense systems, Earth is a sitting duck, ripe for invasion.Except the Suevan culture is nothing like ours.When I take part in what I think is a welcoming ceremony, I leave with more than I bargained for: a husband. A mate. Apparently, we're there to marry them as payment-something the top brass on Earth doesn't bother denying. Fantastic.And the Suevan who hand-picked me to wed and bed? He's the most domineering warlord of the bunch. Lucky me. I'll get the Suevan tech we need, but there's no way I'm giving in to his demands... no matter how, ahem, persuasive he might be.

The huge alien prince claims I'm his wife-but I've never been a good little princess. I'm not about to start now.Stuck in a hot jungle with an even hotter alien is not how I imagined my diplomatic mission going. To make things worse, every conversation is an exercise in survivor charades. I've always prided myself on never needing a man, but this planet seems determined to prove I can't live without the massive alien stuck to my side.When we're chased into a crumbling ruin, I think things are finally looking up. We're out of the rain, at the very least. There are strange images all over the temple walls, showing riches beyond belief. And my alien? He's suddenly obsessed with finding it... and with me.By the time my translator starts working, I've figured out several things. One, other aliens are hunting us. Two, my alien seems to think the mysterious treasure will solve all our problems. And three? We're married.If I want to survive this death trap of a temple and Suevan politics, I'll need all my wits about me.And I better stop being distracted by the muscled hunk of scaly alien who treats me like I'm the real treasure.

My dreams of marrying a hot alien came true- except the grumpy brute can't stand me.I am the only one excited -okay, delighted- at finding myself married to a hulking, alien warlord. I've always been into scales and tails, and this big green beefcake is right up my alley. Except, he's not into me. But I want my fun, and that's the very least I can get out of this arranged marriage.I'm determined to get my way, and I'm sick of being ignored. When my grumpy husband leaves for the capital, I have an evil plan: stow away on his ship and wear him down with my sunny disposition.Except, he's not going to the capital. He's scoping out a secret base, and he is furious with me. But when the enemy Roth board our ship, endangering his mission and me, his grouchy front cracks. If we want to survive, he'll have to realize there's more to me than sunshine and rainbows.And I'll have to figure out if I'm brave enough to give him what he wants: love.
