Trade Secrets
She wanted to learn about aliens-and ended up uncovering their secrets! Gwen Williams wants nothing more than to explore the vast possibilities of outer space, but Earth's technology isn't going to get her there. Her solution? Make contact with aliens. The only problem is, her plan works a little too well-landing her on the radar of a group of aliens with plans of their own that involve her homeworld. Xan was just trying to help his Vegan friends avoid getting into trouble for messing with human things they should have left alone. He didn't expect to run up against Gwen, a brilliant, beautiful Earthling who stirs a depth of emotion in him that he didn't know he possessed-and who also has evidence of his friends' transgression. Adding in the fact that the super-smart "space cat" who's adopted him has plans to bring Gwen into their little family and this Coalition pilot has some tricky space to navigate. As if that wasn't complicated enough, the trio discovers a plot on Xan's ship that could compromise the security of all of their people-and the newly forged bonds between the sentients working toward peace in the galaxy. Will they be able to work together to secure a more peaceful future, or will their secrets drive them apart? This novella was originally published in the Pets in Space(R) 6 anthology. Main Content: Approximately 27,617 words, 133 (5.5 x 8.5) pages. Intended for mature readers.
