Synopsis (Goodreads):
JILLAN

The rows of Earth-made merchandise lure me into his booth, but it’s the hot-as-sin alien merchant I want to take home. With gorgeous green eyes and sexy fangs, Jakkan reminds me more of a massively muscled, swashbuckling pirate than a stuffy merchant.

I think I’ve found Mr. Right, but something doesn’t add up. The more time I spend with him, the more I realize he’s hiding a dangerous secret, one that might make him the enemy.

JAKKAN

It’s not easy being a super spy. One mistake will cost me my life, and I need to keep my wits about me. Too bad the little human in the market booth next door has me completely distracted from my mission. Jillian triggers my instinct to claim and protect; she’s all I can think of. But she doesn’t know my secret.

Someone has followed me to Reka 5, eager to find proof of my crimes against the Dominion. Now I must claim my mate without blowing my cover. The future of the outer planets depends on it.
Thoughts on Space Merchant's Jewel: I must say I'm really enjoying these little quickie Tallean romances. They're fun, they're spicy, and they hit the spot.

This time around, we have Jillian and Jakkan. She's a human enjoying her freedom on Reka 5. He's one of the individuals feeing intel to the colony to help keep them safe. This means there are layers to Jakkan. He can don a disguise and become someone else if he needs to and this leads to a bit of a misunderstanding with Jillian. Mostly because she remembers what it means to be in the hands of a Dominion captain on a Dominion ship.

Fortunately, this misunderstanding is relatively brief. Unfortunately, Jillian ends up abducted by someone looking for Jakkan. No worries, though. The good folk of Reka 5 aren't about to stand by and do nothing when one of their own is taken. Maybe even more importantly, Jakkan is willing to do everything in his power to rescue his special lady. Even use the Dominion's laws to his own end.

A little danger, a little bloodlust, a little misunderstanding, a male who is willing to upend his existence for his special someone, and a lady who knows a good male when she meets him (after she gets over the misunderstanding part). *thumbs up*
