Cosmic Bonds Series by Chloe Parker

Dr. Natalie Lewis may be an expert in alien languages, but there’s more to fluency than simple vocabulary. When Natalie arrives on the alien planet of Logos to study an ancient artifact, she expects to be welcomed by her Lyran hosts with open arms. But not all Lyrans like humans, and a violent faction of the alien race thinks of human culture more like an infection to be eradicated at any cost. Guardsman Kiran Va’shan is assigned to watch over Natalie as she conducts her research... moreDr. Natalie Lewis may be an expert in alien languages, but there’s more to fluency than simple vocabulary. When Natalie arrives on the alien planet of Logos to study an ancient artifact, she expects to be welcomed by her Lyran hosts with open arms. But not all Lyrans like humans, and a violent faction of the alien race thinks of human culture more like an infection to be eradicated at any cost. Guardsman Kiran Va’shan is assigned to watch over Natalie as she conducts her research. From the moment they meet, he feels a sense of protectiveness toward her - an urge to be with her no matter the cost. Lyran legend speaks of a “cosmic bond” between two people that ties their fates together, but the archaic notion of fated mates flies in the face of Lyran culture, which emphasizes logic over love. A relationship with Natalie is forbidden, but Kiran can’t help but fall further into her orbit. Beyond all reason, Natalie and Kiran begin to explore their attraction, even as Lyran politics threaten to tear them apart. Physical relations between humans and Lyrans are strictly forbidden, but the two find it hard to resist their cosmic bond. As they’re drawn into a complex web of cultural relations and political turmoil, the starcrossed lovers fight for an impossible affair that is, somehow, destined to be. less

That life is about to become science fact. When Nova was a kid, her parents always hoped she’d grow up to work with the newly discovered Lyran race. So when the opportunity rises to head to the first human-Lyran colony of Azoth, she jumps at the chance, taking whatever job she can as long as she can explore the furthest reaches of the galaxy. The problem? Azoth is home to the Resistance, and it's in the crosshairs of the Separatists, a group devoted to eradicating human influence in Lyran space. Lyran film aficionado Solnet Va’rez meets Nova right before everything on Azoth is thrown into chaos, and makes the snap decision to try and rescue his dream girl. They end up getting abducted together instead, taken by the Separatists to an unknown fate. Nova becomes a lifeline for Solnet through the final volleys of the war, but she isn't sure how she feels about him. Will Nova return to safety, or will she follow the alien she's falling for into battle? ALIEN PLEASURES is a steamy alien romance featuring a nerdy abducted heroine and a cinnamon roll alien. Though the novel can be read as a standalone, it is the conclusion to the Separatist Conflict depicted in the Cosmic Bonds series, which begins with ALIEN TONGUES. less
