Sophia never thought she was unlucky until she was kidnapped by aliens. Twice...
Sophia had simple expectations for her planetary tour. She assumed she’d see the sights, meet new people, and fend off her boredom. She never thought she’d end the trip as an alien captive. But here she is, the guest of a grumpy, sexy, warrior king who looks at her like he’s not sure if he wants to kill her, or claim her as his own…
Sikthand hadn’t planned to take the stubborn little human hostage. But with political tensions at an all-time high, he had no choice. He would unflinchingly use her as a bargaining chip to secure better relations with the new Tremantian ruler. He would not, however, fall prey to her charms. No matter how tempting she might be…
When Sophia and Sikthand realize how far their enemies are willing to go to grab galactic power, they’re forced into an unlikely alliance—and possibly a marriage of convenience—to protect their people. It’s a good plan, too…if they don’t do anything irrational along the way. Like falling in love…
The series
In a galaxy where freedom is bartered and desire is dangerous, the Clecanian series takes readers beyond the stars and deep into the heart of what it means to choose—love, identity, and agency. Set in a meticulously imagined world where alien societies clash with human resilience, each book spins its own standalone story while contributing to a broader universe filled with raw emotion, reluctant intimacy, and quietly radical heroines who refuse to settle for anything less than true autonomy.
Read full series description
At the core of this sci-fi romance saga is a provocative question: what happens when power is uneven—but the pull is undeniable? From arranged pairings with hidden tenderness to fierce, slow-burning connections forged through resistance and trust, the series subverts the usual tropes of abduction and possession by centering female choice in every plot twist. These aren’t stories about being taken—they’re about taking back control, one hard-won relationship at a time.
The atmosphere hums with tension—both emotional and sensual—and the world-building is rich with alien customs, unspoken rules, and layered conflicts that extend far beyond just the romantic leads. But it’s the characters—flawed, funny, hurting, healing—that leave a lasting impression. Whether it’s a warrior torn between duty and desire, or a human woman navigating a culture where nothing is familiar and everything is at stake, each protagonist brings depth to a genre often dismissed as escapist.
Fans of slow-burn sci-fi romance with strong emotional arcs and a healthy dose of steam will find themselves drawn into this universe where nothing is black-and-white, and every connection is earned. Bold, intimate, and unexpectedly thoughtful, the Clecanian series doesn’t just flirt with fantasy—it challenges it.
