Sazahk, brilliant and disgraced biologist with a mission to rehabilitate a ruined land for the settlement of a dangerous new species, does not want to be baby sat by an overbearing, uptight human bodyguard (with a notably symmetrical face) who doesn’t even trust him to walk himself across the street.
Yet despite their differences and initial misgivings, between near-death experiences with corrosive ponds and unpleasant encounters with toxic fungi, the men develop a grudging appreciation for each other. That appreciation morphs into a shy, shunned desire, then into a desperate infatuation, and finally into something more powerful than either of them ever imagined.
But Garin has responsibilities beyond his own happiness, and Sazahk has never been any good for anyone anyway. And in the maelstrom of warring corporate families and species states maneuvering along the edges of war, there are more than Garin and Sazahk’s traumas and insecurities conspiring to keep them apart.
A story filled with opposites-attract and forced proximity (with a dash of science-made-them-do-it), The Alien Scientist is the second-to-last book in Interspecies Alliances—a series best read in order about a galaxy torn apart by conflict and the men fighting to keep it together. Everyone gets HEAs once the series ends, but first, each novel follows its own couple with their own HFN on this epic space adventure.
