    "Trope busting. Loved it... M. M. Wakeford offers a completely new take on fated mates. With all the expectations that are set with a trope, the author blows it out of the water with her fabulous storytelling." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Goodreads review 
    One day, on a planet far from Earth, I meet my fated mate. The only problem is, he’s in love with someone else.  
    Martha has enrolled on a six-month exchange program to the planet Ven, whose people have recently made first contact with Earth. Newly single and broke, Martha looks forward to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to find out more about the Venorians, an intriguing humanoid race of massive bronze-skinned people. 
    As the son and heir of the Kran, planet Ven’s ruler, Krantor has four somars—men who are his lifelong bodyguards and companions. He loves them all dearly, but one of them, Prilor, he loves best of all. Krantor knows he’s destined to meet his fated mate one day, but it’s Prilor he wants to spend his days and nights with. And he certainly hadn’t banked on his fated mate being a human! 
    Will Martha give up her life on Earth for a fated mate who already loves another? And what of the feelings she has developed for Shanbri, another of Krantor’s somars? 
    Krantor's Mate is a sci-fi romance with high spice open door scenes, featuring FM, MM, and MFM relationships, and a guaranteed HEA for all. It is book 1 in The Venorians and Krovatians series but can be read as a standalone. 
    This audiobook also includes a preview of Melinda's Choice, book 2 in The Venorians and Krovatians.

    To build a life they never thought they could have. 
    Because sometimes the sweetest things aren't found in the kitchen. 
    They're found when you finally dare to reach for them.
