by Robin Lovett
“I don’t ever want to be on that ship again,” she says.
I caress her back. “You don’t have to. The only thing you have to do is be with me.” I touch her chin and urge her eyes away from the ship she loathes and onto me. “If you choose.”
“I do choose.” She returns my affection. “I choose to become your new family. Whatever ceremony the Ssedez require to do it, I want it.”
My heart, if it was full of my feelings for her before, spills over in a way I never thought it would again. That is the only ceremony I need. “You already are.”

Acknowledgments
Writing about hot aliens on a sex planet would be nowhere near as fun without the support of so many.
Thanks to my wonderful editor, Tracy Montoya, whose attention to detail has made this story come alive in ways I could never manage on my own. To the encouraging marketing and editing teams at Entangled Publishing, and to my champion in battle, my agent, Rachel Brooks.
To Bronwen Fleetwood—there is no value I can place on your unwavering support. Thanks for your ever-present empathy, your tenacious skill and your tireless knowledge about how novels are built and assembled!
To my writing group—PWG—every week you remind me that this work is fun and that telling stories is always better with friends around to listen.
To my buds with #RWChat and the New York City Romance Writers, who make the insanity of romancelandia the sanist place to be.
To my husband, who’s taught me what it feels like to be loved, who’s given me the endless need to capture on the page what love feels like in real life. I fall short every time, but I’ll never tire of trying.
And…thank you for reading, readers! For going on this wild sexy adventure with me. Reach for the stars and never settle for less than the very best you are worth. XO
About the Author
Robin Lovett enjoys trips to alien worlds to avoid earthly things, like day jobs and housework. When not reading romance with her cat, she’s busy writing sexy books, which may or may not involve anti-heroes, aliens, or both, but almost always enemies-to-lovers. She’s a big fan of her husband who regards writing romance as far more important than practical things, like paychecks. Her favorite surprise in the world, or the universe, was finding out by some miracle other people want to read the same kind of stories she loves to write. You can reach her on Twitter @LovettRomance or on Facebook @LovettRomance to chat or share ideas about what to put in the next story.
