Perfect Homecoming by Sandra Sookoo
Sometimes the future meets us when we’re not looking.
Andrew Grabel is a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air
and Space Force. It’s tradition for his family, so is never being home
for Christmas. Though he longs to celebrate the holiday with all its
feel good nostalgia, the reality of space travel doesn’t make that
possible. Neither does an R & R stint on a far-flung space station
since Christmas is unique to Earthlings.
Mira Nisirian is on Epsilon station for one reason only—to steal
anything of value then get out for her next destination. She’s a thief
and a criminal, and though she might dream of fitting in with Earth
people and their culture, nothing can erase her Neptune origins or her
real alien form. Choosing Andrew as her first victim is her first
mistake…
…falling for him is the next. What’s more, Andrew’s constant
talk of Christmas fascinates Mira. She covets the home she sees in his
eyes. Andrew’s future outlook is shaken as he finds himself trying to
convince her the Earth holiday is a state of mind, but Mira’s compulsion
to share her truth might damage their budding relationship.
