Verik: A Holiday-in-July Romance

Arixxia Fields: A Steamy Small-Town Alien Romance
by Alana Khan
Verik: A Holiday-in-July Romance (Arixxia Fields: A Steamy Small-Town Alien Romance) by Alana Khan
Unrated

I’m willing to take any job to pay the bills. The alternative, returning to Earth, is not an option.

The production company filming the

Solar Snowfall movie right in the middle of my adopted town of Arixxia Fields is willing to pay me gobs of money to do hair and makeup for the cast. How bad can the gig be?

The leading male, the galaxy’s hunkiest star, is also the galaxy’s biggest ass. It’s a stroke of luck when, instead of the drunken, arrogant, narcissist, I get to work on his stunt double—the equally hunky super nice guy who can’t take his gaze off me.

Too bad our fiery attraction is forbidden. If I want to keep my salon and be able to pay for unimportant luxuries like food and lodging, Verik and I will have to keep our relationship secret.

How hard can that be in this small town where everyone knows everything about me down to my bra size? (Since everyone else knows, it’s 36C.)

 

Written by USA Today Bestselling author Alana Khan, this standalone novella promises happy holiday fun mashed up with smoldering spicy romance.

Alana Khan

Alana Khan writes where the heart meets the stars, blending raw human emotion with the thrill of otherworldly adventure. A USA Today bestselling author, she has built a devoted following across the worlds of sci-fi and monster romance, crafting stories that are as emotionally charged as they are unapologetically steamy.

Before she began creating alien warriors, battle-scarred heroes, and fierce heroines fighting for love among the stars, Khan worked as a psychotherapist specializing in trauma and PTSD. That background threads through every page she writes. Her characters, whether human, hybrid, or something far stranger, are never simple archetypes. They are survivors. They carry wounds, face inner darkness, and heal through connection. It is this emotional depth that gives her romantic universes a pulse that feels utterly real, even when set light years away.

Khan entered the publishing world in 2019 with Zar, the first book in her Galaxy Gladiators series, and quickly established a reputation for stories that balance high-stakes action, emotional healing, and fiery chemistry. Since then, she has created entire interconnected worlds, including Galaxy Sanctuary, OrcFire, and Galaxy Artificials, each exploring different facets of love, whether between broken souls, misunderstood monsters, or synthetic beings learning what it means to feel.

Behind the pseudonym, Alana Khan remains deeply connected to her readers. Her Alanaverse extends beyond her novels, offering fans glimpses into her process, playful personal anecdotes, and the shared belief that love, no matter how unconventional, is worth fighting for.

Through her mix of psychological insight, emotional realism, and fearless sensuality, Khan has become one of the defining voices in steamy sci-fi and monster romance, reminding readers that even in the darkest galaxies, there is always light and someone worth holding onto.
