Laijar's Temptation — M.M. Wakeford

My shuttle crash landed on Earth and now I am stuck here for good, unable to return to my home planet. LaijarI am on a mission to find out why the airships on Earth have stopped flying. My race, the Venorians, have been keeping an eye on this planet for centuries, but have yet to make contact with humans. Unfortunately, my descent to Earth does not go as planned. DaisyLife during the Covid pandemic sucks. I'm stuck doing home learning alone in my family's ranch house in Colorado. My boring existence comes to an end, though, when a gorgeous bronzed skinned alien crash lands on our property. The attraction is immediate between Laijar and Daisy when they first meet, but Laijar knows he cannot act on his desires. While he has had his fair share of lovers growing up in the sex positive Venorian society,  Daisy is young and inexperienced. It would be wrong to take advantage of her crush on him. Laijar is determined at all costs to resist the temptation, but Daisy has other plans. Author's note: Laijar's Temptation is a sci-fi romance with steam and spice aplenty. As the sexual content is explicit, this book is not suitable for any person under the age of 18. While this is primarily an FM romance, one of the main characters is pansexual, so we do get an MM love scene at the start of the story. However, there is no cheating between the two main characters, and I promise a HEA for them both. This novella was written as a prequel to KRANTOR'S MATE. However, it can be read as a standalone.
