I came to Alpha Centauri Station to kill a monster. Not to get tangled up with his daughter.

I’m here to end the man who ruined my life.

But now I’m fighting something bigger.

The pull to claim what’s mine.

I can destroy anything in my path. But this force she wields?

It will destroy me.

What is it?

Love.

Freedom was so close I could taste it…

until my boss turned out to be an alien from across the galaxy.

And not just any alien. But Krampus.

Yeah, that Krampus.

Horns, fur, claws, the works.

He’s a towering, terrifying legend, and now he’s crashing at my house, demanding hot chocolate and calling me his “magnificent mate.”

Did I mention the Grolgath assassins chasing us? Or the Christmas carolers narrowly dodging his death ray? It’s like Santa’s workshop collided with an alien invasion.

Somehow, this wild, otherworldly monster thinks we’re meant to be together.

And every time he rumbles “magnificent” in that gravelly voice, my heart—and my body—starts to believe him.

But surviving the holidays with Krampus means keeping my daughter safe, dodging galactic bounty hunters, and figuring out how to cohabitate with a seven-foot alien determined to make me his queen.

Merry freaking Christmas to me.

Read on for: a delightful science fiction alien romance set in Christmas in the Athenaverse. Guaranteed to make you laugh and sigh and get you in the spirit of the season. HEA guaranteed!

My mate is in danger.

And only I can save her.

My hardened heart cracks at the sight of Micah.

It’s something I never thought possible.

But it can only mean one thing.

She is mine.

There is no other option.

She may be marked for death.

But I will mark those who seek to harm her…

…and harm them.

Everything on my planet will try and stop me from being with Micah.

Including death.

Nothing else matters but her.

And if death tries to stop us from being together?

I will come back to life.

And kill death itself till I am with her.

I had one job. To kill her.

I fell in love with her instead.

War is hell.

It's even worse when you're a hitman sent to a warzone to kill your target.

Her shuttle was trying to get out before the invaders arrived.

I killed her bodyguard. But then I saw her from a distance.

She was so damn beautiful.

I fell in love at that moment.

No way could I hurt a hair on her body. I had to save her instead.

The invaders were coming.

And I turned from a hitman…to a protector.

I kept them at bay till the shuttle took off.

She thought it was her bodyguard that saved her. It was me.

Once she was safe, I swapped identities with the dead bodyguard.

When the smoke cleared and rescuers finally found me, they called me a hero.

Gave me a medal and sent me to a hospital to heal.

That's where I met a nurse whose job was to care for me.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

It was her.

She felt like she owed me her life. I knew my job even now was to take it.

And now all I can think is…

Do I kill my fated mate?

Or do I wait for my employers to kill me?

One glance…I know she will be mine.

She will serve me and only me.

On Armstrong, humans are expected to serve Kilgari like me.

Wealthy. Powerful. Strong.

Nothing stops me from getting what I want.

No one can stand in my way.

And now…

I want her.

Everyone else may bow to me…

But only she consumes my soul.

And then I finally understand why.

There's one thing about her…

That no one else knows…

Ariana is my fated mate.

And no one will take her from me.

My baby's father is a criminal…

And I fell for him.

Even after he kidnapped me.

I guess I'm a sucker for the thrill.

Because trouble is just another name for Ozadus.

I never should have given into him.

But I gave him everything.

And in return, he gave me one thing that changed my life…

A baby girl.

This life isn't safe for her. So I have to choose.

My heart or my daughter? I don't have to think twice.

I leave behind the man I fell for.

I vow to never tell him.

But soon he finds me. And with one look, I'm sure he knows…

That my daughter is his.

He and I are meant to be together.

Not even death can do us part.

He is an alien warrior, driven to a life of crime…

…And he steals away my body, then my heart.

It all happens for a reason.

Because he and I are fated mates.

War and violence try to keep us apart.

But I know I can find him across any lifetime.

In an instant, we are separated.

Even still, we don't give up.

I don't want to lose him.

He's meant to be mine.

It doesn't matter if we die again.

That will never be the end of us.

I am Gro　the most feared warrior of the Masari peoples!

And I have found my mate.

Arael is the embodiment of loveliness.

Her purple eyes entrance me.My battles from this day forward will be dedicated to my love for her!

I will yell her name to the heavens and claim her as my mate.

And then I will discover…

…that I am not Gro at all.

That these memories of her are not real.

But that cannot be.

The love I felt…that we felt. It was real.

They may have brought me back to reality and told me she was nothing but a vision.

But I know she was real.

And now I'm on a quest to find her.
