📚 Book 2 of a completed 17-book series
Stranded on a frozen alien world with eleven other humans, you're forced to bond with a symbiont that transforms your body—and apparently has opinions about your love life. When your symbiont decides you're fated to be with the grumpiest, most intimidating alien warrior in the entire settlement, things get hilariously complicated. This is a delicious blend of survival stakes, found family chaos, and a slow-burn romance with an alien who's all gruff exterior and hidden depths. If you loved the first book, you're in for more of that addictive mix of humor, heat, and heart—but don't worry if you haven't read it yet, because this sequel absolutely stands on its own!
