Tiffany's Warrior

The Gharian thinks he's disguised, and maybe he is to the aliens surrounding us.

But I see who he really is.

The Vadhmoshi took me from Earth ages ago and sold me to the Kostans. I spent my time being the government's lackey. I did everything the Kostans wouldn't do, and the various robots couldn't. In exchange, they kept me comfortable, if at a distance. Not a bad life, considering I'm in captivity.

But now with the glut of freshly abducted people from home, everyone thinks I'm one of the Earth experts able to corral and contain them. I'm not, and I don't want to be. I've been secretly communicating with the Gharian empire, feeding them information until a virus wipes out my ability. Adrift in a sea of people, I continue until he arrives. A man pretending to be a Kosta/Ghar hybrid when I can clearly tell he's all Gharian. I'd forgotten how drop-dead gorgeous Gharians are and when my system says we're a romantic match?

I won't expose his cover but will expect his help in setting me free from here.

This story deals with the sensitive topics of suicidal thoughts and ownership of another human. Dark elements but not a dark romance. HEA and a bit of a cliffhanger.
