Irked By the Alien Dad by Chloe Parker

He’s a brooding, tortured, morally upright space daddy. She’s the brilliant neuroscientist who’s accidentally hardwired herself for pleasure at his touch.

Lyn Walker didn’t mean to test her experimental pain-to-pleasure translator on herself—and she definitely didn’t mean to get caught mid-catastrophe by her impossibly infuriating supervisor. Now her nervous system is rewired in one very specific, very inconvenient direction, and every time Kaelion Rhyss touches her, her body has opinions she cannot afford to have.
What she didn’t count on was the daughter. Kaelion Rhyss—brilliant, exacting, and way too hot—turns out to be a dad. A devoted, slightly tragic, completely off-limits one who reads bedtime comics and buys sketchbooks and even has a cute lizard-cat pet.
Lyn needs to fix the device, survive the ethics review, and stop noticing Kaelion’s hands before she loses everything she’s worked for. But that isn’t easy…especially when she’s falling harder by the minute.

Irked by the Alien Dad is a cozy sci-fi romance featuring an accidental orgasm machine, a grumpy single alien father with electric yellow tendrils, and a human genius who should not be falling for her supervisor—but here we are.
