Alien romance with cozy, small town vibes celebrating a "human holiday" on another planet. This series features side characters from Pierce’s Intersolar Union series getting their own stories of living and loving in the colony for the humans rescued in that series. 

If you want an “alien who looks alien” love interest, this delivers. The enigmatic Sizzle walks on four legs, enjoys making Jihae blush with his boldness, and calls her "morsel". He's on the hunt for her. Maybe has some plans of nesting and putting his very long tongue to good use. Definitely very covetous of Jihae if she says yes.

Post abduction and rescue, Jihae is striving to make a life for herself on this new planet teaching the children of the human colony, hoping to keep her Korean language alive, and longing for a piece of home. She loves horror movies and Sizzle is exactly her kind of monster.
