Watch Your Orbit, Book 1
Omi Shaw wants two things: her hair shop to be safe from the impending wet season, and a space chicken.
She also wants her family back. So three things, actually.
But that last one, she can't have. Not as a human refugee on the alien moon Yaspur. When new alien refugees are introduced to the colony through a work integration program, she hires someone to help her realize her dreams.
She expects him to build a roof and a floor, maybe even a chicken coop, if the rains hold out long enough. But his mane... it's beautiful. She wants to get her hands on it, style it, find her passion for hair again. She's left a lot behind, but Siatesh might be able to fill that void himself...
Siatesh wants two things: to escape his lost soul contract and to stay out of trouble.
He also wants Omi Shaw. So three things, actually.
But that last one, he can’t have. He’s on probation for being a danger to humans, a fact Omi disregards completely. She sees him in a way that no one else ever has. While others see a suspicious criminal, she sees a man terrified of ever losing his autonomy again.
Maybe he wants to lose himself though. Maybe Omi is the trust fall he needs to find a reason to live…
Eat My Moon Dust, Book 2
Tinsley needs a holiday. Tinsley is a pastry chef stuck on an alien planet where cooked food is printed piping hot and perfect every time. Where's the fun in that? The artistry? The sense of family and community?
When snow caps the distant mountains, she decides it's high time for some community-building festivities. No one throws a holiday bash like a Canadian, after all. But in order to do it, she'll need some serious help, and she's willing to do anything to bring some Christmas cheer to Renata.
Hunar Fareshi needs a break. He's the chief engineer in the human colony, aging out of the dating scene and struggling to make ends meet while he provides for his children from afar. And the "fresh start" he was promised? Only attainable if he entices a human into coiling with him. How is he supposed to do that when he's three times their age and seen as the colony skhrooj?
The end of his contract looms mere weeks away. If he's kicked out of the delegation, he'll lose everything: his kids, his home, his savings... When the offensive human with bouncy brown silk offers a solution, he can't afford to turn her away. He'll play nice and make strange decorations until his contract is renewed.
Then they'll go their separate ways... Right?
Quit Your Waning, Book 3
Jihae is hungry for home. As the colony's first Halloween Festival approaches, Jihae becomes nostalgic for ghosts, ghouls, and goblins. Unlike in the West, South Korea's spookiest season is the dead of summer, once the humid air goes still and the shadows hang heavy in the trees and alleyways... So when she's offered the task of decorating a haunted trail, she takes the opportunity, even though it means she'll be working with the most terrifying creature in the colony: the hellish bilong named Sizzle.
When he starts haunting her dreams, she blames it on her obsession with supernatural K-dramas. But this taboo infatuation is more than a passing phase. Once Sizzle sinks his teeth into her, she knows he'll never let go.
Sizzle is hungry for connection. Connectors, actually. Electrical wires, pistons, plasma filters, battery acid... The bilong is insatiable. At least, until he meets Jihae and everything starts to taste like soap. Though he despises the taste of flesh, Sizzle finds that Jihae's scent is the only thing that makes his mouth water. The human woman is causing his instincts to shift in unpredictable ways.
Unable to get her taste out of his senses, Sizzle does what any apex predator would do. He stalks from the shadows, hunts her scent, and plays with his food until the succulent pitter patter of her little heart makes him drool... Jihae will accept his possessive claim.
And he'll make sure she likes it.
