In their marriage of convenience, I become the major inconvenience. Captain Xavran Rax from the planet Aldrai doesn’t need a lover, a friend, or even a companion. He’s been keeping a secret about his wife’s death for over a decade, and he’s certainly not interested in replacing her anytime soon. The only reason he decides to bring a woman into his household is because he believes it would benefit his four children, especially his two daughters. Mara Takolsky doesn’t find Aldraians even remotely attractive. Neither does she care about children of any species. She accepts the proposal of Captain Rax only because her dead fiancé owed a lot of money to the criminals who now wish to collect it from her, either in money or blood. Leaving Earth is her only chance to stay alive. You may ask how do I fit into captain and Mara’s ever so practical marriage of convenience? The answer is I don’t. I’m Susanna, Mara’s twin sister. I have a man who betrayed me, too, and I tag along to Aldrai to escape the mafia who threaten to kill both Mara and me. When my sister and I arrive on Aldrai, however, things don’t go as planned… ______________________ All books in My Holiday Tails series stand alone, loosely connected by the same world and the fact that all heroes have tails.

City girl in Montana looking for her Romeo... Sounds like the start of a Hallmark movie, right? Well, it would if they had movies about idiot women flying across the country to marry a man they'd never met. Yup, that's what I did. I responded to an ad in a random newspaper that I found on the train. And now I'm trying to find Horseshoe Ranch so that I can marry some cowboy I've never even seen. And no, this isn't the 1800's. I'm just desperate. To make matters worse, the cowboy doesn't even know I'm coming. His mom and dad arranged it all. I'm going is because I have $100 to my name and an old mafia boyfriend after me. I figured life couldn't get any worse in Montana. I was wrong. In my excitement, I left the address and phone number for the ranch at home, so now I'm here in Montana and I have no idea where I'm supposed to go. So I took a rented a car and stopped at a local bar to ask for directions. And that's when my problems really started.
