“The terms of the peace accords were extremely specific to prevent any corruption, manipulation, or undue influence. The two princes are to first see their bride together, in the presence of a water priest, at this exact time. It’s all a copy of the previous ceremony, laid out in excruciating detail. But listen, all the accords require is a human female to bind with them, because this isn’t about the Terras Alliance. Not really. Any human female will do.”
“Sorry. That doesn’t make me feel any better.” She was sweating now. In the stands, the crowd was growing restless. She could hear their murmurs over the music. Both princes were watching her and seemed to be catching on that something was wrong. The priest asked her if she felt okay, and she smiled at him. Or at least she tried to smile. She might’ve looked more like a grinning skull right then, she wasn’t sure.
“This is no longer about you, Mindrin,” Commander Dolzen continued in an urgent voice. “This is about the galaxy. It has been since the moment you sent that lift on its way up.”
“I didn’t send it up,” she whispered harshly. “The actuators—”
“Doesn’t matter. If you leave, you could kick us back to the years of strife and instability the peace accords ended. This could mean war.”
She stood there with her mouth open, not knowing what to say, and all her thoughts spinning through her mind. It was utterly and completely unfair to put this on her shoulders. Because of a faulty actuator, she was now the savior of the universe or something and that was insanity. She stood there, frozen, unable to decide the right thing to do, praying this was a nightmare she would wake up from any second now.
Any second now…
But the nightmare wouldn’t end.

Their Accidental Bride
Aria Bell
To save the galaxy, she must love them both...
Mindrin Zeras has no idea she's about to become a bride to not one but two alien princes. But that's exactly what happens when she accidentally stumbles her way into an intergalactic wedding while trying to fix a malfunctioning elevator. Thanks to a treaty between the mar'don, the celestri, and humanity, the bride's identity is to remain secret until the ceremony begins, exactly when she finds herself at the altar. Talk about stressful work days. Now she's wed to both stunning, powerful males who seem eager and skilled enough to claim her in every way possible. There's only one little problem. Both believe they're marrying a bride painstakingly selected for them, not an imposter who was merely at the wrong place at the right time. She's rapidly losing her heart to these two aliens who make her soul soar and her body quiver, but if they discover the truth, the peace treaty might go up in flames.
Nothing will stop Prince Valdur from doing his duty. The mar'don are respected warriors, and Valdur is both fierce and dedicated to honoring his new mates in the name of peace. His little human bride has more than enough spirit and beauty to make her a challenge, even if he must overcome his possessive instincts and share her with Tyal. She might even make him smile, but there's something odd about her too, and Prince Valdur hates to be deceived. Meanwhile, the charming Prince Tyal has secrets of his own, and more than a few suspicions about his new bride. Tyal loves a mystery, but he's beginning to suspect that unraveling this one might not be the best idea. Only someone else seems to know who Mindrin really is, and they don't care how many are hurt when the truth finally comes to light...
