Interspecies Alliances Book 5

Hypothesis: Hate. Experiment: Forced proximity. Results: Unexpected.

Brilliant but disgraced biologist Sazahk has one mission: rehabilitate a ruined land for a dangerous new species and win his freedom in the process. The last thing he needs is an overbearing human bodyguard who can’t tell a microscope from a telescope.

Enter Kevin Garin, ex-soldier turned reluctant escort, who’d rather be anywhere but babysitting a prickly qeshian scientist through the deadly Qeshian Dead Zone.

But between dodging corrosive ponds and ingesting toxic fungi, an unexpected chemistry bubbles between them. Yet in a galaxy teetering on the edge of war, their budding relationship faces graver threats than their own personal demons.

Can a by-the-book bodyguard and a rule-breaking scientist navigate the hazardous terrain of their own hearts? Or will the turbulent politics of warring corporate families and species states tear them apart?

The Alien Scientist is a sizzling tale of opposites-attract and forced proximity, with a dash of science-made-them-do-it. It’s the penultimate book in the Interspecies Alliances series—a galactic adventure best experienced in order, where every couple gets their happy-for-now before well-earned happily-ever-afters at series completion.
