Alien Spare
Prince Falkor Myka-Rullok has spent his entire life in second place—second to his brother, second to his planet, and probably second in his parents’ hearts. So why not lean into it? He’s got charm, status, and a reputation as Kaldor’s “Prince of Scandal.” If he can’t be their favorite, at least he can be unforgettable.
But his latest misadventure—where, for once, he’s actually innocent—lands him in hot water. To repair the damage, the king issues an ultimatum: marry the human woman caught in the middle of the mess… or else.
Karma Kennedy isn’t charmed. She came to Kaldor for a fresh start and spiritual clarity—not to marry an arrogant alien prince with perfect hair and a smirk she wants to wipe off his face. She doesn’t care that he’s royalty. She doesn’t care that he’s gorgeous. What she does care about is escaping this forced marriage and getting her life back.
The plan? Stay married just long enough to save face, then go their separate ways.
But fate isn’t letting go that easily.
As the days pass, Karma’s tarot cards start predicting a future she refuses to believe. And Falkor? He’s seeing a woman who might finally put him first.
In a marriage neither of them wanted, they might just find the love they’ve both been searching for… if they stop fighting destiny long enough to let it happen.

Reviews and Comments
This was the second book in this duet and while each book in the duet focuses on a different couple so it could be read as a standalone it's better to read both books in the set. I enjoyed getting to know both Falkor & Karma better in this story after getting to know them briefly in the previous book in this set and thought the epilogue was a sweet way of wrapping things up for both couples in this duet. I look forward to seeing what Cara Bristol comes out with next.
