When Darkness Falls: A Sci-Fi Alien Romance · Marian Pattechat ✦ Indie Paperback

Miya plans a break from work, but first she has to survive her latest piloting job. Which is sure to kill her… unless she breaks the hot alien prisoner out of the cargo hold.

Miya was supposed to be enjoying a well-deserved holiday on a sunny resort planet. But instead of sipping alien cocktails in her new bikini, she is stuck in her pilot seat transporting some edgy soldiers and their mysterious cargo to a backwater system.

The fact that said cargo is a guy with looks that set her heart racing and a voice that gives her tingles in all the right places is no consolation. Maybe because the sexy alien is a prisoner so dangerous, they keep him caged, cuffed, and under guard. Or perhaps because he keeps claiming everyone is going to die unless Miya sets him free.

Yeah, sure. Like she would fall for that. This is going to be one boring, uneventful space trip on her perfectly safe ship… Right?

When Darkness Falls is a standalone sci-fi romance about a sassy human pilot and an enigmatic alien who’s tough only on the outside and deadly to her… undies. Join Miya on a space adventure filled with steamy moments, some jump scares, and a hearty dose of humor on the way to the guaranteed HEA. For mature readers only.
