“Once again, man tries to play God and fails. Do we ever learn?” After their rescue from Tav, Dameia and Hyam are caught up in a whirlwind of media and diplomatic events as they attempt to adjust to their new home planet. Everything from the clothing to the weak heat of the single sun is acutely foreign; still, Dameia is determined to fit in. But at each turn, society’s subtle biases push back: The pair is deeply alien to Earth, despite Hyam’s humanity, and they wonder if this is the right world for them. Not all Tavarians are struggling to belong. Xanth, a healer, quickly finds work at a local Health Center, offering virtual care for innumerable Global Alliance citizens across the stars. But his compassion for one patient, Arba, risks entangling him in an affair with far-reaching consequences: Unbeknownst to Xanth, Arba is the newest wife of Katuu, ruler of the plague-riddled Alliance planet Vepo, and she carries what Katuu hopes will be a second heir to the planet’s rapidly dwindling population. Despite most Tavarians barely coping on Earth and Vepo continually requesting aid for survival, the unexpected mission to Tav has left the Global Alliance more concerned with getting back on track—and on budget—with its plans to colonize the galaxies. The celebrated Captain Woolsey and her crew receive orders to the inhospitable ice planet Avalon VI next, according to plan. Faced with leaving Dameia and Hyam on Earth and ignoring Vepo’s plight to captain her crew toward certain death, Woolsey may instead break the rules for the first time in her illustrious career. Because allowing the Global Alliance to ignore the worlds it already controls comes at a price. And the cost could span galaxies.

Neither of us had a clue what that meant, but searching for it after he’s gone helps me cope with my grief, and I pack up my art supplies and hit the highway. When I stop for gas in Quincy, Thomas is waiting for me—in spirit. So, I stay—and find my dream cottage with a studio and hiking trails out the back door, and a quaint old tavern called the Starlight with a cozy booth in the corner. I set out my sketchbook and pencils and get busy drawing faces—my way of getting to know people while I enjoy a beer. It works. I’m making friends and filling my journal with the kind of diverse characters typical of a crossroads pub. But diversity doesn’t explain why the people coming to life on my pages are the stuff of fairytales. The most fascinating is Andras Johns, and I’m wondering more often whether the towering man who sets me on fire with one look is the prince in the story or the beast lurking in the woods. Andras Johns I’ve been the alpha of the North Star Pack for a long time. My policy? Never mix it up with a human. I can’t stand the idea of exposing a vulnerable species to the hazards of my job, and the hazards recently ramped up. But there’s a new face in town. A beautiful, human face. The first time Selena Aires gives me her smile, I smile back. It’s a mistake—and I know I’m done for, which is a problem because an alpha can’t break his own rules. Meet a giant, smoking-hot cinnamon roll hero and a diminutive lovable kickass heroine in this paranormal romance with heart and a little bit of danger.
