Description
Looking for love on all the wrong planets…
Clementine Daily has struck out so many times in the dating game that she’s had to move on to another species. When the Intergalactic Dating Agency matches her to a Torvian who needs a marriage of convenience to stay on Earth, she’s happy to help—who wouldn’t love a sexy alien as a reward? Except her new husband is scarred by secrets from the past and wants nothing to do with love or romance, and Clem’s seduction strategy suddenly needs a whole new game plan.
Excerpt
My phone vibrates with a text message, presumably from Charmaine where she’s texted me her address. Forget a dress, I’m going to get an alien! The one from the processing facility, if Charmaine followed the specifications I indicated on my profile.
I knew we’d had a moment when I first caught sight of him. Blond, intense and gorgeous, with silvery eyes that screamed otherworldly. The shiver that wracks my shoulders feels like overkill but I’m excited and nervous. This is it, the moment when everything comes together for me. Marriage, babies, the whole nine yards, courtesy of a gorgeous creature who thinks I hung the moon. Like the way Penelope and Eros happened. If an alien worked for her, it can work for me and then I don’t have to worry about how hard it is to find a human guy who’s worth my time.
I ignore the speed limit as much as possible and arrive at Charmaine’s house on the far north outskirts of Olympia in record time. Trees shadow the house, creating a great mood that my jittery nerves appreciate. It’s calming and restful the way the house nestles back into the forest. Olympia isn’t that far from Forks, the small Washington town made famous for its sparkly vampires, and if you missed the point, this part of the world is magical. The forest exudes a presence that I love, always have. It’s easy to believe that anything could happen, even true love with a being from another world.
Charmaine, who looks every inch like the hip aunt you know would take you to Metallica concerts and buy you beer for your eighteenth birthday, answers the door with a smile. “Clementine. It’s nice to see you again. You made good time from the city.”
“I’m…yeah. I drove. Fast.” I swallow. Wow, I’m not usually so tongue tied.
And then I nearly choke on said tongue when he fills the space behind Charmaine. Ohmygod. It is him. The Torvian from Switzerland. He’s my match.
