The Peacekeeper. When his shy neighbor knocked on his apartment door, Phate’s mission to stay off the humans’ radar until the rescue team arrived changed in a blink of an eye. He not only wants to tell this delectable human about alien existence, but he also wants to take her back to Thelli with him.

Getting to know her was proving difficult when his new mission involves joining a dating app in an effort to see if humans are compatible enough to join the Intergalactic Dating Agency.

The Workaholic. Tasha worked hard building her small business on Main Street and didn’t have time for distractions. With a fire-cracker best friend and three new mysterious neighbors, Tasha was finding herself thinking of something other than her boutique for a change. But fate? Fate has a way of intervening, and she finds out the hard way that she can’t run or hide from her feelings, especially when distraction as fine as Phate lives right next door.

Read an Excerpt

Shock kept Tasha from speaking right away. Her heart threatened to leap from her chest.

Yes! Yes! A thousand times, yes!

“Um…okay.”

With his eyes focused on her lips, she waited, hoping not to appear too eager, while her nerves hummed in anticipation. And waited. And waited some more.

A nervous giggle burst through. “You asked. I said yes.”

The look on his face wasn’t confident at all. Phate gave her a short nod. “I did and you did.”

They continued to stare at each other in silence. Just when her nerves couldn’t take it anymore a thought occurred to her. “Wait. Do you know how to kiss?”

He’d admitted that he’d never done it before, but surely…?

He shook his head. A car horn blared in the background. Fuck it. She leaned forward, closing in the distance between them and claimed his lips. She gave soft kisses at first, then her kisses became lingering.

She captured his plump bottom lip between hers and sucked. He moaned softly. It was enough to do her in. She crushed her mouth over his, devouring the taste of him.

Phate’s strong hand found the back of her neck, bringing her closer to him. His fingers gripped her hair. She’d never been into the aggressive man-type, but this? This she liked. She enjoyed. She wanted more of.

With an abrupt groan, he suddenly pulled away. His heated gaze seemed to penetrate her soul.

“Do you…um…know how to have sex?”

One side of his lips lifted. “That, I do know how to do.”

Phate got out of her car, and she followed his lead. He held her hand as they made their way to the third floor of their building. They reached her apartment and he pressed against her back as she unlocked the door. She loved the feel of him against her.

Once inside, she anticipated the gentle Phate, the innocent Phate who’d never kissed a girl before. She thought he would follow her to her room. They would undress and crawl into her bed.

Yet, when he turned and pushed her against the wall, she knew they would make love in a wild frenzy, and she wanted it.

Phate’s lips crashed over hers as he pressed her back against the wall. The distinct sound of his pants being unzipped made butterflies erupt in her stomach. She simultaneously caressed his muscular arms, while her tongue explored his delicious lips. His cock pulsed against the fabric of her outfit.

When he broke the kiss again, she wanted to scream. His chest heaved with heavy breaths. “Are you certain you want to proceed with this?”

She nodded. Hands trembling, she undressed under his unwavering gaze. “Does this answer your question?”

He nodded and wet his lips.
