The Bride Program by Dane Griggs
“Let other people volunteer to be brides and join the alien sausage party,” says mom with a deep frown.
“Okay, first of all, please don’t ever use the term ‘sausage party’ again. And secondly, Mom, my mind is made up. This might be our only chance. I will convince them to cure her. And I will be on a spaceship — with aliens!” responds Maya.
Maya Arnold was leading a normal life, working and helping care for her sister, until the Cerasteans arrived. Offering a cure for cancer if enough women volunteer as brides, Maya jumped at the chance. Saving her sister was her only goal. She never expected to actually fall in love with an alien, or find best friends in the other bride volunteers.
Since the mysterious destruction of Ceraste, Commander D’Avii and the surviving males have been searching the galaxy for a new home. Finding Earth and its women was a miracle. Like most Cerasteans, he finds humans to be fascinating creatures — none more so than bride volunteer Maya. His attraction to her is instant and intense. Still he knows Maya can never choose him, a warrior, with so many higher-caste scientists seeking their own mates. To do so would shame the scientists and tear the last of his people apart. Yet he aches at the loss of something he never even had.

It’s a Work Thing by Michelle Karise
Garrett
If Dynex’s public offering takes off, my best friend and I will be swimming in corporate stock, free to launch our own company. I don’t need a distraction like a gorgeous consultant with honey-almond skin and a killer smile.Jasmine
I shouldn’t be attracted to six-three of citrine-eyed, muscular, urban sophistication like Garrett Hamilton. He’s a client, and clients are off limits. But something about him makes me want to ignore the rules and roll the dice. I should have remembered corporate games never end well—especially when you gamble with your heart.

Now it’s: ‘A special man in my life? No, I’m very happy being single. No time for all that.’ I’ve been peddling that line for years and it’s never failed me.
Problem is, I do have a special man in my life. A wonderful perfect man … It’s just a question of keeping it a secret. But for how long?” My Words To You by Emilio Esteban Trinidad III
