    About this ebook

    A brilliant young teacher. A seemingly cold alien ruler. A love Earth Central Command tried to prevent.
    High school teacher Marianne Woolsey was teaching Spanish in rural Iowa when Earth Central Command decided her linguistic talents would be better exercised if she spent 26 years teaching the daughter of an alien ruler on a planet 24 light years from Earth. Deeply wounded by a childhood trauma, she avoids men, but now she's thrown into close contact with a man who is as gentle as he is dangerous.
    Driven by duty, and deadly to anyone who dares cross him, the Sural has ruled his province and led his planet far longer than he can admit to his daughter's human tutor. He hides much more from the space-faring races of the Trade Alliance than he is willing to reveal. What he doesn't want Central Command to know, he has to conceal from Marianne, but that becomes increasingly difficult as years pass and her exotic beauty breaks down the walls he long ago built around his heart.

      I always feel wonderful after reading The Marann.

      This story is the very best of light SciFi romance. Actually, I would label it Solarpunk Romance as the Tolari are vegans who live in harmony with their world.

      If you are searching for slow burn romance with some interplanetary drama, look no further.

      Let your mental vacation begin!
