Ruling Sikthand
Sophia never thought she was unlucky until she was kidnapped by aliens. Twice...
Sophia had simple expectations for her planetary tour. She assumed she’d see the sights, meet new people, and fend off her boredom. She never thought she’d end the trip as an alien captive. But here she is, the guest of a grumpy, sexy, warrior king who looks at her like he’s not sure if he wants to kill her, or claim her as his own…
Sikthand hadn’t planned to take the stubborn little human hostage. But with political tensions at an all-time high, he had no choice. He would unflinchingly use her as a bargaining chip to secure better relations with the new Tremantian ruler. He would not, however, fall prey to her charms. No matter how tempting she might be…
When Sophia and Sikthand realize how far their enemies are willing to go to grab galactic power, they’re forced into an unlikely alliance—and possibly a marriage of convenience—to protect their people. It’s a good plan, too…if they don’t do anything irrational along the way. Like falling in love…

Victoria Aveline
Victoria Aveline didn’t set out to reinvent alien romance—but that’s exactly what happened when her Clecanian series quietly exploded onto the indie sci-fi romance scene. With a sharp eye for power dynamics and an unapologetic love of tropes, Aveline carved a space that feels both indulgent and surprisingly subversive. Her stories may orbit around abductions, alien bonding, and intergalactic passion, but at their core, they wrestle with freedom, agency, and what it means to choose love rather than be given no other option.
Clecanian
In a galaxy where freedom is bartered and desire is dangerous, the Clecanian series takes readers beyond the stars and deep into the heart of what it means to choose—love, identity, and agency. Set in a meticulously imagined world where alien societies clash with human resilience, each book spins its own standalone story while contributing to a broader universe filled with raw emotion, reluctant intimacy, and quietly radical heroines who refuse to settle for anything less than true autonomy.
Clecanian consists of eight primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
