Uhraervi Brothers Series

Quaythars Felixiuh couldn't be mistaken for Santa, and he's no saint.   Andrea Watts, aspiring teacher, loves all things Christmas. But when she falls asleep in her car in a winter storm, only the timely arrival of a hairy alien saves her from certain death.   Quaythars Felixiuh, species geneticist, intends to retrieve his mate at her request. The entire Uhraervi race is counting on their success. But when he lands on Earth, he is shocked by Andrea's poor judgment. He can save her life, but he will not be keeping her. Even if it costs him his future.   A fake relationship can lull the expectations of the Uhraervi people, and allow Andrea to receive necessary medical care. But she didn't ask to be rescued, and her future isn't on an alien space station.   She's going home for Christmas, no matter how attractive Quay is.   Originally published in the Passionate Ink Holiday Shorts anthology.

Astrophysics professor Chandra Russell never enrolled to be abducted by an alien. Chandra Russell, premier astrophysics professor, has evidence spaceships are visiting Earth but everyone in her department thinks she's crazy. When she's abducted by an actual alien, Praduchs Felixiuh, she's not sure if she should celebrate or panic. After receiving Chandra's approved enrollment form, Praduchs changes course to rescue her from a dying planet, even though his time would be better spent continuing his explorations instead of wooing a mate he doesn't want. No matter how fascinating she is. Still, he must convince her to stay or he'll face severe punishment from the Uhraervi council. The forces of the universe are pushing Chandra and Praduchs together, but their missions and futures are worlds apart. Aren't they? Originally published in the Passionate Ink Falling Hard anthology.

Whoever said Earth girls were easy was lying. Janey "Tommy" Thompson is so close to having enough money saved for her own garage she can smell it. Old oil, hot tires, exhaust smoke—success. But before she can finish touching up her flawless tan, an alien lands in her papaw's field. She might be late for her job at the strip club, because when will she ever have the chance to check out the engines on an actual spaceship again? She's still questioning Sigurthurk "Sig" Felixiuh about his thruster when her neighbor comes to her rescue with an attitude and a shotgun. Tommy agrees to lift off with the aliens for all their safety. Besides, it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to travel in space, and Sig swears he'll bring her right back… …in a week or two. Maybe.   Originally published in the Passionate Ink Hot & Sticky anthology.
