From The Publisher:
The metal tentacles tightened around Bryant's wrists and for the first time in his life he finally felt...safe.
Bryant Harrison doesn't do burglaries. His strength, his size, and his obviously once broken nose all mean he's the muscle - not the thief. But he desperately needs the money to save his young daughter before she's sent to a penal colony far beyond his reach. Alarm bells ring in his head as he breaks into the personal ship of an influential alien diplomat, but this time he can't afford to listen to them…
Captured by the ship's top of the line security system, Bryant expects to be turned in if not turned inside out and torn limb from limb. He doesn't expect an encounter that leaves him limp, trembling, and questioning everything.
Emissary Serihk has always been the most powerful man in a room. Backed by the richest species-state in the galaxy, Serihk decides the fates of nations and of planets. But suddenly, all he wants to decide is the fate of one human man and his young daughter.
The human is tough as nails, clever and shrewd, achingly handsome, and a survivor of things Serihk has only ever read reports on. Yet when Serihk touches him, the human yields to him, trusts him, and lights a protective fire in him that Serihk has never felt before.
Bryant wishes he could fall into the arms of this commanding, elegant, awe-inspiring alien whose very presence wipes away all his crushing fear and doubt. But he can't afford to lose his edge. He knows from experience that good things don't last and people always leave you.
But does that mean he has to leave the one place - and more importantly the one man - who ever made him feel safe?
It is the prologue novella to Interspecies Alliances - a series best read in order about a galaxy torn apart by conflict and the men fighting to keep it together. Everyone gets HEAs once the series ends, but first each novel follows its own couple with their own HFN ending on this epic space adventure.
CW: criminal justice system/arrests/police, gangs, and mentions of war, imperialism, and refugees.
