A human starting over light years from home….
Accepting a job on Spire Station sounded great in theory. Now that I’m on an enormous alien space station with no humans in sight, I’m questioning the sanity of that choice.
But it’s not all bad. When my best friend Mezli tricks me into using a pleasure sim, I find an unexpected connection with Breks, the intriguing alien running the sim. He’s everything I’d want in a partner—charming, empathetic, and so damn sexy.
The only problem? He hides behind a holo and refuses to let me see his true form. For all I know, he could be a sentient ooze, but I’m too far gone to care. I want him no matter what he looks like. Now I just have to find a way to prove it.
An alien desperate to forget his heartbreak…
When I took a job at SimTech Suites, I’d planned to use pleasure sims to escape any thoughts of my ex. However, a far more enticing source of distraction shows up—a purple-haired human named Fina with the body of a goddess and shy, delightful wit to match. Too bad I’m nothing like the attractive holo I use for my job. I’m a seladin with sharp teeth, brutal claws, and menacing features that terrify most aliens.
Fina’s uneasy reaction after our chance meeting out on the station only confirms that I can never show her my true form. No matter how desperate I am to make her mine.
Space for Love is a cozy sci-fi romance featuring a plus-size FMC, a monstrous alien MMC, and enough spice to keep you warm even in the coldness of space.

This is a spicy alien romance with open-door sex scenes. That means discussion and explicit depictions of sex and kink-based activities, including rope bondage and dominant/submissive dynamics. Due to the hidden identity aspect of the story, some of the scenes can be interpreted as dubious consent, though all characters involved are consenting to the best of their ability. There's also alien genitalia and ingestion of alien fluids.
Parts of the story involve discussions of anxiety and negative self-image. Other themes include concealed identity, misunderstandings, cultural differences, and accidental intoxication.
Characters use profanity and explicit language throughout the book.
There are brief, minor references to stalking and slut-shaming (from background characters).
