Jihae is hungry for home. As the colony's first Halloween Festival approaches, Jihae becomes nostalgic for ghosts, ghouls, and goblins. Unlike in the West, South Korea's spookiest season is the dead of summer, once the humid air goes still and the shadows hang heavy in the trees and alleyways...

Once Sizzle sinks his teeth into her, she knows he'll never let go. Sizzle is hungry for connection. Connectors, actually. Electrical wires, pistons, plasma filters, battery acid... The bilong is insatiable. At least, until he meets Jihae and everything starts to taste like soap. Though he despises the taste of flesh, Sizzle finds that Jihae's scent is the only thing that makes his mouth water. The human woman is causing his instincts to shift in unpredictable ways.Unable to get her taste out of his senses, Sizzle does what any apex predator would do. He stalks from the shadows, hunts her scent, and plays with his food until the succulent pitter patter of her little heart makes him drool... Jihae will accept his possessive claim. And he'll make sure she likes it. ***The Over the Moon series takes place in the Intersolar Union universe, in the human colony on Yaspur.

Marcella is fed up. She wants her little colony to feel like a community, and that won't happen unless they build baby build. A piazza, a fountain, a restaurant, something. But a self-important prick of the highest order holds the purse strings and won't approve a single project proposal. That won't stop Marcella, though. She didn't survive having eight rowdy boys and her own business back on Earth to grow a soft spine in her sixties. She's the Nonna. A woman of action... moreMarcella is fed up.

And Ferulis is going to kiss the ring whether he likes it or not.Ferulis is riled up. The biggest pain in his ass is a silver-haired human woman half his size. Not juggling a dozen covert elite operatives with egos the size of a moon. Not jousting with his political rivals. Marcella Bianci. Even just her name makes him snort with aggravation.It turns out he's a glutton for pain, though. He didn't survive a space vessel explosion and countless assassination attempts just to get his lunch handed to him by a feisty pest. He's the Intersolar Union's Chairman of Defense. He likes a challenge. Especially if that challenge stomps her foot at him. ***The Over the Moon series takes place in the Intersolar Union universe, in the human colony on Yaspur.
