Is one Valentine’s Day kiss too much to ask? Marsha and Rigel are deeply in love, and have been for months. But Marsha, known to her school friends as M, also happens to be Princess Emileia, born Sovereign of a secret, underground colony on Mars. Unfortunately, Martian tradition decrees that she must pair with Sean, Jewel High’s recently-arrived basketball star, and not Rigel, her soulmate. To prevent Rigel’s execution for “treason,” M agreed to make it look like she and Sean are dating and that she and Rigel are just friends. But this will be their very first Valentine’s Day since falling in love. Surely, after all they’ve gone through, they deserve one real kiss to mark the occasion? They just need to find a way to make it happen without breaking M’s promise to the ever-observant Martian Council. Written as a Valentine gift to my faithful fans, this story falls between Starcrossed and Starbound, books 2 & 3 of the Starstruck series. However, enough context is included that readers new to the series should also enjoy it (though be warned there are some spoilers!) The Starstruck series appeals to fans of Twilight and other romantic, non-spicy teen fiction. Science fiction with a fantasy vibe, the series has elements of Cinderella, the Chosen One, Fated Mates, Forbidden Love and more. Enjoy!

She soon feels very out of place, however, when she realizes the party is intended to be something wild. When each gentleman draws the name of the lady who will be his Valentine for the next three days, the Duke of Langford, the worst rake of them all, finds himself deliberately but quite inexplicably choosing the card of the lady he suspects is prim and virtuous—and very unlike any other he has known. Golden Rose The Master of Ceremonies in Bath has devised an intriguing plan for the annual Valentine’s ball at the Assembly Rooms. Each gentleman is to send an anonymous favor to the lady of his choice and she is to wear it or carry it to the ball to discover the identity of her Valentine. But when Roger Bradshaw sends a golden rose to the lady of his choice, his mischievous young cousin, entrusted with delivering it, presents it to another young lady he considers more worthy. A Waltz Among the Stars Viscount Brandon, determined to put behind him his grief over the death of his young wife two years before, accepts an invitation to a Valentine’s house party, where he plans to woo the young daughter of the house. However, he finds himself drawn instead to her older sister, who nurses a deep grief of her own while also living apart from her family under the disgrace of a youthful indiscretion.
