Hackles and a Honeymoon by Poppy Rhys

What happens when an off-planet work trip turns into a sham honeymoon with a fake alien husband?

I, Birdie Clayton, a travel agent with a crippling fear of flying and a pile of debt, never thought I’d be doomed to face my worst phobia to avoid getting fired.
Yet here I am, lightyears from home and touching alien grass.
Everything was running as expected until Omen Bainbridge barged into my life. Thanks to a software malfunction, the famous alien athletics sensation is my new, unwelcome roommate.
Stuck together for the foreseeable future, we hash out a decent plan to coexist. But when the unrelenting press starts hounding my every move, Omen suggests something outlandish. If I pose as his affectionate mate to help him secure his dream contract with the premier sports team in the universe, he’ll pay off all my debts.
But as we navigate this game, the lines of reality and fantasy begin to blur and I question what’s true and what isn’t. Can I make it back home with my heart in one piece?
