Exiles

Becky Black

Synopsis

Javi Barasa, descendant of refugees, accidentally kills a soldier sent to liquidate the shanty town that's been his home all his life. Meanwhile Arien Lakhami, the agender youngest child of the king of the home planet of Javi's ancestors, barely escapes an assassination attempt and now, like Javi, they are looking for a way off the planet. Both take entry level jobs on a freighter where Javi meets First Mate Razz Jensen, and hopes for more than friendship. But Razz has a policy about dating crew. Meanwhile Arien arranges to meet their bodyguard -- and fiancé -- Tapuh, at the freighter's next stop.
Despite Razz's policy, he and Javi spend the night together at the space station stopover. Arien finds Tapuh waiting there and learns the royal family has been murdered in a coup. Arien is now the strangest claimant to the throne, and since they'll have to make a political marriage, Tapuh says their engagement is off. Rescued from another murder attempt against Arien, the damaged freighter is taken by the loyalist General Queza to the base where Arien's allies are gathering for a counter coup. Javi and Razz have time to relax and build their relationship, but Arien has to juggle suitors for their hand in marriage. A marriage that can never result in an heir.

Mad for Madison

Hayden Hall

Madison Masters is everything I want to be. 
 
 
 
He's confident, good-looking, and beyond popular. Wherever he appears, he's the center of attention. It's his natural charisma that pulls every gaze to him. Mine especially. I have been in love with Madison since the moment I met him. The only trouble is he has no clue that I exist. And even if he knew me, it would never work. 
 
 
 
I'm the father of a little troublemaker, the happiest accident of my life, and Madison is not family material. I know his secret. I know where his popularity and money come from. I know what he does in hotel rooms when cameras are on and when the show begins. 
 
 
 
We can never be together. We are worlds apart. 
 
 
 
But when Madison Masters urgently needs a nice, anonymous boyfriend for an evening, there's no better choice than invisible old me. And as the night of work turns into the most magical date of my life, I soon forget we're only pretending. 
 
 
 
If only my stupid heart wouldn't beat so fast. If only Madison weren't so convincing. If only we didn't follow this fantasy all the way to his hotel room. If only he didn't ruin everyone else for me in a single night of unrestrained passion . . .
