Rassan
Elle Harper - 2019
Our one and only chance to have the kind of adventure each of us could only dream of. A rag-tag crew of (mostly) scientists, a spacecraft that definitely wasn’t going to pass any inspections, and the type of desperation that comes from living each day on a dying planet. Okay, so we didn’t plan for the space battle we found ourselves in the middle of. The sad thing is, when we felt our spacecraft falling apart after being hit, to a one, we thought: still better than life on Earth. Dying among the stars… there are worse ways to go. It’s not like any of us had anyone to go back home to, anyway. Rassan I rescued the tiny Earth woman. Plucked her nearly lifeless body from the vastness of space. And from the moment I saw her face, I knew I’d never be the same. The alien is making me feel things I’ve sworn to never feel again, want things I have no right to want. This is madness. When Harper wakes on an alien planet after nearly dying after her spaceship accidentally gets caught in the crossfire of a battle between two warring races, the only thing she knows is that it’s still better than what she left behind. And when she meets a giant, grumpy soldier who makes her heart race and her knees weak, who makes her laugh and tremble, who shows her the kind of respect she never thought she’d find, she realizes maybe love is possible in the most unlikely of places. Thrown together as Harper tries to be of use to her new alien neighbors, Harper and Rassan both face the demons of their pasts. Happiness is so close… if only they’re strong enough to risk it all. Rassan is a stand-alone novella, the first book of the science fiction romance Izothian Chronicles series!
