Synopsis (Goodreads):

Though still carrying the scars of his past as an intergalactic soldier, Emvor doesn’t mind the quiet of his chosen life as a farmer. He doesn’t even mind that most nights are lonely on remote Cassa, but he does need help around his farm. A mail-order bride from his homeworld seems like the perfect solution. She’ll be a tall, sturdy female to help with the chores and bear his children.

Unfortunately, the person that arrives is Nicola. She’s small, delicate…and human. She also knows nothing about farming, and she's lied and deceived her way across the galaxy to get to Cassa so she can hide from those that would capture her. She's a problem, and also the most enticing thing he's ever seen.

Now Emvor has to decide…can he keep the woman who’s nothing like what he asked for but is everything he needs?

Thoughts on The Alien's Mail-Order Bride: I kinda love the mesakkah aliens. They're just so protectively possessive when they find their special someone. It might take a while for him to realize it, but Emvor gets a little growly about others being around Nicola and its' ADORABLE.

Okay, maybe calling a seven foot, horned alien adorable is weird, but they're just so cuddly when they find the right person.

Like I said, it takes a while for Emvor to figure out that small, fragile Nicola is exactly what he needs. Since he *thought* he was getting a mesakkah female, he has to adjust to the reality of her. That said, Nicola did have a reason for misleading him. A good one. Being a human female in a galaxy where humans are considered contraband isn't doing her any favors. Emvor's farm on the edge of a sparsely populated planet is the answer to her problem.

It just, you know, takes time for the two of them to get on the same wavelength.
