Seeking absolution for his past in a fiery death, a young space force pilot crashes his ship on a desert planet.

Willing to take the ultimate risk, Jem's plan to disappear undergoes a strange twist. He awakens on a mysterious planet where the people claim him as one of their own, but it's downright laughable. Jem isn't submissive, no matter what they say. He can't give birth, no matter what they say. But he'll play their game—for a while—because his life depends on it.

Willing to make the ultimate gesture, King Ellis agrees to marry the part-human Xolani, Jem. He is a lonely ruler, thrust into the role too young, but he knows destiny when he feels it. Something led him to Jem, and he won't abandon him, no matter what or who comes for him. But duty is one thing—falling in love is another.

Jem knows he can't hide his true identity forever. And when the brutal monster he's running from finally finds him, he'll be the only one who can stop him and save his family.

As long as he's willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.

NOTE: The Alien's Pretty Vagabond was previously published as Pretty Human by Pride Publishing. It has been expanded by 27,000 words and rewritten to align more closely with the author's current brand, although it is still an emotionally dark book.
