Marrying this grumpy alien might be my only chance to save my friends.

But I refuse to fall for him...

GWEN

Being a bridesmaid for my boss's wedding was supposed to be fun. Free cake, bad dancing, and expensive champagne—what could go wrong?

Alien invaders, that's what. Evil ones that abduct me and my two best friends.

I know. It sounds like a bad sci-fi movie. I wish! Since now I'm stranded on a war-torn planet, my besties missing, and my only hope is a huge, growly, copper-skinned king who looks like he'd rather toss me into space than help me.

Then his sister drops a cosmic-sized bomb: This brooding king and I are fated mates. Ridiculous, right?

But all at once, I have the upper hand. If marrying this musclebound tyrant is what it takes to save my friends, then I'll do it. He just better not expect me to make it easy for him.

RYZ

This tiny, fiery human is a pain in my royal backside. She's stubborn, shrewd, and utterly irresistible—so help me, stars! Marrying her is the last thing I want to do, but if it keeps my people in line, then so be it.

She's demanding I risk everything to find her friends, and she's not taking no for an answer. But just when I think I've got a handle on things, she's captured by the enemy, and suddenly, keeping my heart out of the equation is the hardest mission I've ever faced.

Because no one touches my bride.

His Brazen Bride is a short, steamy, fated mates romance and the first book in the Earthly Possessions series. Get ready for alien heroes and the human women who bring them to their knees.
