Book Cover Placeholder - Smuggler's Beauty by Alexandra Foley

A princess. A smuggler. An accidental kiss.

To Aiden Hale this is just another job: get the goods, make the drop, move on. Except the only thing he finds on the abandoned medical ship is a woman, frozen in time. And when he uses his telekinesis to pry open her pod for a closer look, his power unexpectedly surges, sending Aiden toppling—lips first—onto her.

Evelyn Alpertti, princess and third in line for the crown on Tanalia, volunteered to enter stasis to end the relentless attacks on her planet. A decade is a small price to pay for the safety of her people. But when Aiden wakes her it’s been close to a century…and the home she hoped to save has been ravaged.

Despite the undeniable pull between them, Evelyn and Aiden maintain their distance—he’s horrified at unwittingly becoming a human trafficker, she’s desperate for the truth of what happened to her planet. And the only place they’re going to find answers is the drop site.

But who will be there waiting for them?

Smuggler’s Beauty is the first book in a new, spicy, sci-fi-romance trilogy, perfect for fans of Kit Rocha and Firefly.
