Alien's Bargain: An Alien Shifter Romance
One lie. One bargain. One debt she can’t escape.
Jessa is the most talented weaver in her village, but when her ruthless uncle claims she can spin legendary goldthread, he traps her in a lie that could cost her everything… including her little sister.
Desperate to save her sister, Jessa flees into forbidden Vultor territory in search of the rarest plant of all. Instead she finds Tarek, a gruff, solitary alien feared by humans and shunned by his own kind.
Tarek has been alone for too long, so when a pretty little human strays into his territory, he can’t resist offering her a bargain—his help in exchange for a promise to be fulfilled later.
What begins as a reluctant deal turns into something far more dangerous, because Tarek is more than he seems. And the price he asks might be her heart. Sometimes love is the most dangerous bargain of all.
TROPES: Grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, reluctant protector, hidden identity, found family
A sweet and spicy sci-fi fairy-tale retelling!

Reviews and Comments
I have loved each book in the Alien Wolf Tales Series so far and this Rumpelstiltskin Retelling met my expectations. Tarek & Jessa made a great couple in this story and I really liked Jessa's ten year old sister Dani as well and how she completed their little family unit. I look forward to continuing this series of that blends Alien romance with Fairy Tale Retellings so well.
