Michaela — Tracy St. John

Michaela Blake has lived with a secret her whole life. Born an intersex, she's hidden in plain sight from Earth's religious tyranny, posing as a male to avoid being discovered and executed. Now that she's escaped to Plasius, she is free to explore the other side of the intersex coin and be the woman she's always felt she is. Being both genders has left its scars on Michaela, however. She cannot imagine any man loving her ... never mind a Kalquorian clan made up of three men. Yet joining a clan is her only hope for salvation, her only sure way to escape Earth's judgment. Korkla, Govi, and Raxstad can't believe their luck. They've been given the opportunity to court the rarest being in the known universe by the Crown Princes of Kalquor. However, to win the captivating Michaela, they must first get past her despair and self-doubt ... not to mention a jealous ex-girlfriend and murderous kidnappers. Still, saving the intersex Earther from others is not half as daunting as saving her from herself. Please note: this story contains graphic depictions of men loving men and men loving an intersex (male/female) individual. Elements of BDSM, including discipline and bondage, are included. This is a companion story to Clans of Kalquor 2: Alien Rule.
