From Pets in Space 8
She stole a ship… and its captain’s heart
Georgia never chose to work as a space pirate. Abducted from Earth by aliens as a teenager, she’s had to become tough to survive the depths of lawless space. Violence and deceit are all she knows… until she steals from the wrong woman.
When alien Captain Ellabee responds to a stranded ship’s call for aid, she’s astonished to find a human and her sassy pet bird on board. But the gorgeous female isn’t all she seems. Suddenly, Ellabee’s ship and crew are in danger, and Georgia won’t help unless she gets what she wants.
Once the crew unravels some of Georgia’s past, Ellabee’s anger and frustration give way to compassion for the clever human… and something else she never expected to find. Love.
Georgia is torn between fear that Ellabee’s kindness is a trick and hope that Ellabee is as good as she seems. Can two lonely women surrender their hearts to love, or is the mistrust and betrayal too much to overcome?
An out-of-this-world f/f alien romance with a headstrong human woman and an alien female used to being in charge. This is a standalone sapphic love story with a guaranteed happy end. If you love lesbian romance, cute animals, and humorous science fiction, this series will make you laugh, swoon, and wish you had your own sassy alien parrot.
