Ransomed by Kashatok: A Steamy Sci-Fi Romance

Disguised as a boy on a ship full of sex-crazed aliens...
What could possibly go wrong?

On the trail of her next big documentary, Joy boards a pirate ship under false pretenses. The hot alien captain with the washboard abs will make her female viewers go weak at the knees, and Joy wouldn't mind licking the Kantarellian rum right off his bulging copper muscles, herself.
Captain Kashatok isn't a man of rules, but the one thing he won't allow is a woman on his ship. His crewmen are immoral bastards, plus he needs to avoid triggering his own internal monster. When he can’t keep his eyes off the ship's new mechanic, he thinks he’s just protecting an innocent boy.
Except after Joy’s secret is exposed, her talent for fixing engines won't be enough to keep the crew in their place. Can she rely on Captain Kashatok to protect her? Or is he the most dangerous of them all?

Reader Promise: Steamy love scenes, dangerous aliens, and heart-pounding action. Intended for mature audiences.
No cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA. You can read this as a standalone, although you'll probably enjoy it more if you start with book one in the series, Rescued by Qaiyaan.
