Mated By Mandate: A Fated Mates Alien Romance
I thought the Galactic Dating Service's threats were a joke.
Public meme campaigns? Social humiliation algorithms? Please. I'm Dr. Zora—I talk to rocks for a living.
But when their "99.9% Perfect Match" pairs me with Ambassador Xan, they're not bluffing.
He's everything I politically connected, devastatingly charming, the kind of smooth operator who manipulates hearts like trade negotiations. Our first date ends with me coughing alien berries into his drink.
I should hate him.
Instead, when he laughs—really laughs—I glimpse someone real underneath. Someone who protects me from sleazy delegates. Someone who looks at me like I'm fascinating instead of socially defective.
Then I discover seaweed that could change everything—life-changing science that makes me a target for every government in the galaxy.
Including his.
I now face an impossible trust the man who awakened something I'd buried, or protect my discovery alone.
The galaxy's future depends on my decision. So does my heart.
Mated by Mandate is a slow burn steamy alien dating-service romance and the first novella in the Galactic Dating Service series. If you enjoy fated-mates chemistry, grumpy–sunshine banter, and a silver-tongued alien willing to bend interstellar rules for one brilliant human scientist, you’ll love Mated By Mandate.†
