A science fiction saga best read in order about a galaxy torn apart by conflict and the men fighting to keep it together. Each book follows its own couple through a connected plot arc full of action, political intrigue, and colorful characters.
Everyone gets their HEAs once the series ends, but each book will end with a HFN. (After all, it’s hard to say they’ll live happily ever after when there’s still a war going on!)
The Prologue Novella – The Alien Emissary
The metal tentacles tightened around Bryant’s wrists and for the first time in his life he finally felt…safe.
Bryant Harrison doesn’t do burglaries. His strength, his size, and his obviously once broken nose all mean he’s the muscle – not the thief. But he desperately needs the money to save his young daughter before she’s sent to a penal colony far beyond his reach. Alarm bells ring in his head as he breaks into the personal ship of an influential alien diplomat, but this time he can’t afford to listen to them…
Captured by the ship’s top of the line security system, Bryant expects to be turned in if not turned inside out and torn limb from limb. He doesn’t expect an encounter that leaves him limp, trembling, and questioning everything.
Emissary Serihk has always been the most powerful man in a room. Backed by the richest species-state in the galaxy, Serihk decides the fates of nations and of planets. But suddenly, all he wants to decide is the fate of one human man and his young daughter.
The human is tough as nails, clever and shrewd, achingly handsome, and a survivor of things Serihk has only ever read reports on. Yet when Serihk touches him, the human yields to him, trusts him, and lights a protective fire in him that Serihk has never felt before.
Bryant wishes he could fall into the arms of this commanding, elegant, awe-inspiring alien whose very presence wipes away all his crushing fear and doubt. But he can’t afford to lose his edge. He knows from experience that good things don’t last and people always leave you.
But does that mean he has to leave the one place – and more importantly the one man – who ever made him feel safe?
Book 1 – The Alien Bodyguard
Oliver came to conquer. But his heart is set on surrender.
Oliver Turner has one shot at redemption. One shot to prove himself worthy of his father’s empire. But his carefully laid plans crumble at the sight of his new bodyguard—a scarred klah’eel warrior who ignites a desire in Oliver he thought long dead.
Captain Mal’ik, battle-worn and duty-bound, can’t believe the longing scent pouring from the beautiful human man is for him. But it is. And the prissy, brilliant Oliver makes him yearn to be more than his mangled face and metal arm, more than a soldier following orders.
As Oliver and Mal’ik wrestle with their surprising and unfamiliar feelings, the tense political situation surrounding them explodes into chaos. Forced to make choices they never imagined, is it even possible for them to choose each other?
A Beauty and the Beast with an age gap romance, The Alien Bodyguard is the super steamy first novel in Interspecies Alliances—a series best read in order about a galaxy torn apart by conflict and the men fighting to keep it together. Everyone gets HEAs once the series ends, but first each novel follows its own couple with their own HFN on this epic space adventure.

Book 2 – The Alien Infiltrator
“He gets under my skin like a splinter. Like shrapnel.”
Leon Hess has just started a war. As the Resistance’s new leader, the only thing that matters to him is driving out the Klah’Eel forces that have occupied his home for decades. He will do whatever it takes, pay whatever cost, deploy whatever tool he must.
But his best tool, the one that makes everything possible, is also the man he can’t bear to look in the eye.
Sebastian is a torvar—a parasitic worm physically capable of body-hopping at will and morally capable of body-stealing with impunity. As the most hated and feared of all races, instead of living a quiet life hiding his nature, Sebastian chose to out himself and use his considerable skills to fight for the land he loves.
But no matter how hard he works himself or how often he risks his life for his country, for the Resistance, for Leon Hess, the man won’t even acknowledge him!
As the war rages around them, Leon and Sebastian will be forced to settle their differences, to form an unstoppable team, and to sacrifice more than they ever imagined.
Book 3 -The Alien Medic
Falling in love ruined Maxwell once. He refuses to let it ruin him again.
Maxwell Terry has spent his life as a doctor helping others, all while hiding his deepest secret from them. He knows firsthand the pain and terror that comes from falling in love, and he promised himself that he’d never make the same mistake again. But Garrett Twal, with his easy laugh and his charming smile, makes him want to break that promise.
Garrett Twal has always been the biggest and strongest man in the room, and for as long as he can remember, he’s used his size to protect and care for people. He’d care for the sweet doctor with the steady hands and the sad eyes too, if Maxwell Terry would just let him! Even if the man is clearly hiding something. And even if Garrett knows better than most the damage a traitor can do.
But Garrett and Maxwell don’t have time to take it slow with each other. Their planet is lying in ruins, with poisonous storms raging through the air and pirates picking over its carcass. As their relationship heats up and the danger around them grows more intense, will they be able to hold on to each other or will their fears and their pasts tear them apart and doom their home?
Book 4 – The Alien Soldier
“I told you you wouldn’t be able to stand when I was done with you.”
“I didn’t doubt you. I never have.”
Patrick Smith is being punished. For letting a good man go free, for refusing to steal from a newly sovereign nation, for disobeying orders, but most of all for being a human in an alien army. Despite his decades of service and experience, instead of being on the front lines to defend his home against a strange new threat, he’s stuck commanding a squad of misfit soldiers no one wants and no one believes in.
Fal’ran has always been nothing. Worse than nothing. The poor, uneducated, brat of a drunk from the Moon Projects. But with war comes opportunity. For the first time in his life, Fal’ran has a chance to prove his worth, fighting in the greatest military in the sector. Nothing and no one is going to stand in his way. Not his past, not his useless teammates, and definitely not his pathetic human commanding officer.
That is until Fal’ran gets a whiff of said commanding officer’s mouth-watering scent and his entire world turns upside down. The simmering tension between them is undeniable. But it’s also unprofessional and unethical and acting on it is completely out of the question as far as Patrick is concerned.
As a new species launches an invasion, Patrick must decide if his moral compass is really as reliable as he’s always believed, and Fal’ran must decide if what he’s always wanted is really what he’s always needed.
Book 5 – The Alien Scientist
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.
