Tanin’s Treasure by Talia Rhea

Delivery Details: One large crate, free floating in space, to be retrieved and the contents returned to a shinuk king.

It was supposed to be a simple job, like any other he’d done before. Until Tanin found himself looking into the delivery crate at the human females secreted away inside. Suddenly, this job just became much more dangerous. And not because the shinuk king has now hired bounty hunters to get them back. That’s an easy hurdle. The real problem is Garnet and all the things she makes him want for himself. Foolish things. Dangerous things. Hopeful things.
What’s a girl to do when she suddenly wakes up on a spaceship, in the arms of an alien, with absolutely no memory of how she got there? She punches him in the nose, then asks if she can stay. Of course. Garnet doesn’t really miss anything about Earth. The only person she loves – her twin sister – is right there with her, so why not trade a life of stress, bills, and debt for space adventures? Seems like a great deal to her.
And sure, the king who abducted her and her sister is coming after them, trying to reclaim his stolen treasures, but she’s protected by a group of… delivery boys?
Delivery boys who have strict rules about killing, a leader who uses a ribbon to fight, an un-artificial intelligence running things, and a past as dark as it is tragic.

Garnet only expected fun and adventure, but things are suddenly getting much more serious between her and Tanin, and she’s about to learn what it means to really be treasured.
