Alien Heir
Marry a stranger to escape an arranged marriage? Sure, why not?
Prince Jaryk Rullok-Myka has a royal-sized problem. His parents are hell-bent on marrying him off to a noblewoman he’s met exactly twice. But his evil-genius little brother finds a loophole: if Jaryk’s already married, he’s off the hook. Enter Cosmic Mates and one reluctant human bride.
Kismet Kennedy isn’t here for love. She joined the galactic matchmaking service to avoid being separated from her twin sister—so of course she gets matched first. Her new husband? An alien “government official” from Kaldor with a killer jawline and way too many secrets. They’ll stay married for a year, then go their separate ways. Easy.
Until royal drama, ex-lovers, scheming siblings, and inconvenient feelings turn their fake marriage into something dangerously real. Buckle up—it’s going to be a bumpy ride to happily ever after.

Reviews and Comments
This is the first book in the newest duet of the Cosmic Mates series and I loved all the new characters in it. This set includes two sets of siblings, human twin sisters Kismet and Karma as well as the alien princes Jaryk and Falkor. This book focuses on Jaryk & Kismet but their siblings provide a lot of support as well as humor and I look forward to seeing how they get together in the next book. The epilogue was also amusing and provided an unexpected surprise from Jaryk and Falkor's mother.
