This was a great short story about Leilani, a human woman taking refuge on a farm planet who needs a husband for protection. And, of course they fall in love. I'll admit that I'm a sucker for the marriage of convenience trope, but this one was done so well. Especially given how short it is. Tassar is completely devoted to Leilani (as he should be) which makes this so much fun to read.

Three Thoughts:
1. Tassar is the king of consent - and I'm here for it.
2. She’s my home now. *swoon*
3. Love the bonus epilogue - it was the perfect way to end the story.

This is the perfect story when you want something short and sweet that will leaving you smiling.
