The Strongest in the Galaxy (Allegedly)

He thinks she's the most dangerous thing in the galaxy.
She thinks they're friends.
They're both right.

Lily has killed exactly one alien, stolen exactly one spaceship, and is having, by her own estimation, an excellent year. After two galactic years stranded with only her ship's AI for company, she finally lands a job aboard a luxury alien vessel. She wants a fresh start, a steady paycheck, and maybe a friend.

Nobody told her that by galactic standards, humans are basically space orcs.
Surely that won't cause any misunderstandings.

Khar is seven feet of horns, muscle, and absolute confidence that he's the most formidable being in any room. He's usually right. Then a tiny human female breaks his gym record, ends his undefeated streak, and asks if he's finished his report yet.
Lily thinks she's found her first galactic BFF. Khar thinks he's found a rival, and he intends to win. Every challenge he throws down, she takes as an invitation to hang out.

Khar has studied humans closely enough to write a book. A respectable one. The depraved sequel his dreams keep drafting is none of your business.

There's just one problem. Khar's species doesn't do casual. When they choose a mate, their bodies rewrite their own genetics to match. And Khar's body has made its choice without consulting him.
Have you ever annoyed someone so much you triggered his mating instinct?
Lily has.

Now their very one-sided competition is turning into something far more permanent and a lot more dangerous, and they're about to find out who's really the strongest in the galaxy.

Inside you'll find:

• Forced proximity on a luxury starship
• Fated mates
• A dangerously competent human heroine
• A possessive alien warrior who falls first (and hard)
• Humans-are-space-orcs chaos
• Found family, action, and a jealous AI with opinions

A spicy sci-fi romcom with a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger. Book 1 of Mates, Mayhem and the IMPERIUM. Each book follows a new couple.
