Captain Gareth's Mates — Cassandra Pierce

As far as Captain Krys Gareth is concerned, life is perfect. He's happily commanding a ship for 24th-century Earth's Border Patrol, and his relationship with another man, the alien ambassador Brennar, is hotter than a supernova. Then his ship is summoned to Anubis, a small planet facing an attack by space brigands. In exchange for his help, the ruler awards the captain his daughter's hand in marriage. Gareth and Brennar both know that refusing could result in diplomatic chaos. To Gareth's surprise, marriage with the feisty Princess Izbal is better than he imagined. His new bride is even willing to accept a relationship with both men, and before long, the trio has bonded both physically and emotionally. One obstacle remains, though: duty soon calls Gareth back to his ship and Brennar to his home planet. Now the three mates must find a way to stay together without risking intergalactic peace.
