A lonely human unlucky in love . . .

When all your friends are pairing up with the alien partners of their dreams, it's hard not to feel left behind. I'm as single as ever, working my boring desk job and spending most of my time alone.

So when I meet an intriguing alien who invites me back to his ship, I wonder if maybe it's finally my turn for love. Turns out, that drunken hookup ended up with me kidnapped by space pirates, and now I’m stuck on the other side of the galaxy. I should be worried about getting out of this alive, but once the shock wears off, all I can think about is my attraction to my alien captor. They flirt and tease me, but I know it means nothing. Why would someone so confident and capable ever be interested in an anxious mess like me?

A dashing alien pirate . . .

What should've been a simple job ended up with me and my crew fleeing for our lives. Someone obviously set us up, but in order to get to the bottom of things, we need a lot of credits. As if things weren’t bad enough, I've accidentally abducted a human.

Now we're stuck together until I get the funds needed to set things right. But each night cycle spent with this human by my side makes it harder to keep my distance. How do I keep him safe and return him home without falling for him—or ending up in a prison colony for the rest of my life?

Contains mature themes.
