Rock and a Hard Place: An MM Alien Science Fiction Romance (The Little Ships)

By J. Evermore

Surviving a crash landing on an uncharted planet was supposed to be the hard part. No one told me the real challenge would be the aftermath. I have most of my memories back, I'm about to start my first mission since Sohven and I were rescued from Sannaveh-8B, and my crewmates aren't half bad. Nothing to complain about, right? Too bad nothing good ever comes easy. Since we've returned to our ship, Sohven's been overprotective, paranoid, and on edge. No matter how well I carry out my duties, he just can't seem to trust me to take care of myself, and I'm getting tired of being treated like a freak blow to the head means I'm incompetent. Sohven's solution seems simple. He wants to double-down on our commitment and make things permanent. He wants us to become mates--officially. That means a trip back to Lohnyal, a closed planet with a culture few outsiders ever experience. The trouble is, seven years is a long absence--long enough to leave Sohven on the outside looking in, too. We do our best to respect his family and follow their customs, but when we land in his eyrie, we're stepping into more than a straightforward mating ceremony. When Sohven's family gets him back, they don't want to let him go. It's going to take all of my ingenuity to make sure we find a way off his planet. This time, he's the one who needs to be rescued, and I intend to deliver. Rock and a Hard Place is meant to be read after Head Above Water, the first book in Jace and Sohven's story.
