A Space Cruise Romance

As the hospitality specialist aboard an infamously debauched interstellar pleasure cruise, Sunastara Nex never mixes work with pleasure. But she knows more than most how little the universe cares for rules and order. For example: the most worlds-shattering one-night stand of her life just became the newest member of her crew. Freddie is as gorgeous as she remembered, still unbearably tempting, and still very interested. Unfortunately, he’s also strictly off-limits. Until he comes up with the wildest seduction strategy this side of the wormhole.

I was built for efficiency, not emotions. As a bionic, part organic and part AI, I’ve spent my life working aboard my interstellar pleasure cruise in rational, dispassionate contentment. But when I finally install my long–overdue hormone upgrade, everything changes. Suddenly, I’m distressed, overwhelmed, and alarmed by my changing body. I need help. And even though Dr. Semson, the ship’s empathic physician, is handsome, he’s the last person I want to see about my puberty issues. Since empaths can’t read bionic emotions, we scare them, and they tend to avoid us. But he’s all I’ve got.
