Married to the Alien Mountain Man

<p><strong>An alien mountain man longing for a wife the human woman who crashes into his world and the fake marriage of convenience that feels just a bit too real...</strong><br><br>For most of my life my beloved ship has been my home. So when I'm forced into a rough emergency landing among the mountains of a planet I've never heard of I'm determined to get her up and running again as quickly as possible.<br><br>Except as quickly as possible turns out to be at least two weeks. And nobody from off-world is allowed to hang around on Zabria Prinar One - a Zabrian penal colony for convicted murderers - for that long. Unless...<br><br>Unless you marry one of said convicted murderers.<br><br>Just when I think I'm totally screwed local alien mountain man Oaken gets down on one knee makes me an offer of marriage I can't refuse.<br><br>It's only temporary of course. A fake marriage of convenience that we'll dissolve after the two-week trial period when my ship is fixed. In the meantime I'll be Oaken's relationship coach. When I'm not working on my ship I devote myself to preparing this earnest alien sweetheart for his future human bride.<br><br>Except things get messy fast. Lessons on human kissing become far too heated and late-night conversations grow searingly intimate. The longer I spend with my big green gentle and generous fake husband the harder it is to accept that he'll marry someone else after I'm gone. And the more headway I make on repairing my ship the less I actually want to leave. Even if Oaken is nothing but supportive of my plan.<br><br>Even if he never once asks me to stay.<br><br>But while Oaken looks ahead to his future with another woman I suddenly find myself wondering if I could give up the life I've always loved to stay by his side.<br><br>Could I trade my freedom for a chance at forever?<br>And how will my pathetic human heart survive if the sort of forever Oaken wants...<br>Doesn't include me?</p>
