Brides of the Mylos

StellaLike far too many people here in New York, I've just graduated from film school. Unlike most of them, I did this after getting a bachelor's in Early Childhood education and while working to (mostly) afford my bills at a preschool. My next step?Fulfilling at least one of my two biggest dreams by going to the Mylos Scholarship Center. I'll admit it - I've had a thing for those hot aliens for years. Ever since I was a hormonal teenager as a matter of fact. One minute, boys were disgusting. The next, I noticed how interesting the alien on the Bride Fleet's Scholarship poster on the subway was. Forget actors and rock stars, I wanted my shot at finding I was the one true love of one of those alien warriors.At long last, that was finally going to happen or I'd find it had all been a silly pipe dream. Either way, I'd get the means for my second dream - to get a degree in Marketing and Social Media and have a living allowance I could use to not only pay for the tuition and catch up on my bills, but quit my job at the preschool and produce a kid's show for local access TV.The ultimate goal? To get my show noticed by a larger production company and go national.KailirexBeing the head of Public Media Relations is a tough job. It has its perks though, and I definitely count getting to create an educational TV show promoting literacy and an introduction to Mylos culture and language while also focusing on friendship. All my work creating the program is in danger of being swallowed by a black hole, thanks to the latest antics of Humans First. Now I've got to convince both the human government representatives and the Mylos Council that despite the kidnapping (and safe return) of a Mylos child during the Friendship Day Picnic in Central Park, the show must go on.In fact, Commander Gundar, Xeranos, our ambassador, and my team and I are absolutely certain that the unfortunate and potentially tragic event is precisely why Playtime Fleet needs to see the light of day. Millions of children and their parents will be able to experience life aboard a fictional ship within the Fleet in a fun and safe manner, in a format that makes us appear the friendly neighbors we truly are.Thankfully, the stars themselves are watching and the universe reveals its plans for us. But will all our efforts fail, despite even this? Will all it truly take to find success be love?

It was only supposed to be a social media quiz. Enjoying a family Sunday dinner was always a good time. Mum's great food, the antics of her niece and nephews, and getting time to hang out with her sister outside of the work they both did at the family's Caribbean-Chinese fusion restaurant in Birmingham. When her sister encourages her to take the social media quiz she shared so they could compare results, Laurel thought nothing of it. So it was about aliens, that was a hot topic lately, what with the recent arrival of the Mylos. She certainly didn't expect to come home to find the police cordoning her street off so she could have a tête-à-tête with the Prime Minister and the alien ambassador! Being named ambassador was an honour. First contact achieved, the next step was to convince the aliens who called themselves Humans to agree to genetic trade with the Mylos. The logistics of getting each country to agree to terms and how best to find matches with agreeable brides was proving difficult. Little did Tellan know that his job was about to become a whole lot more complicated as he finds the first mating being arranged is his when he's alerted to a match. As for his bride, she didn't even know what she was completing the questionnaire for. Having discovered his match, his biological imperative means he must complete his mating or die. His sense of ethics means she must be willing. Can he get her to see that theirs is a love truly fated by the stars?

Darla Levin isn't looking for a husband. Newly graduated from high school, she is, however, looking for money for college. Falling short of her needs using the more usual routes for financial aid, she decides to take a gamble and apply for the Bride Registry Scholarship. It seems simple. You don't get matched unless you're a perfect genetic and psychological fit, and for the scholarship, the pool is limited to the relatively few Mylos currently in orbit. Matches are so rare, she's never even known anyone who has been acquainted with anyone else who has been matched. After her best friend Angie registers and receives her scholarship funds immediately, Darla takes the plunge.The unthinkable happens, and she finds she is now the mate to Gundar, the Commander of the Bride Fleet itself. He's one tall,buff drink of sexy and Darla realizes her education has only just truly begun.

Thirty-two, a single mom, and her world crashing down around her...Melissa's thirty-second birthday was a train wreck of a day only made worse when she ran out of gas. Not only did she have to go into work, but after coming in late once too often, she finds herself fired. Following her supervisor's suggestion that she look into taking some courses to gain a job qualification that might work better around her children's schedules, she's surprised when the financial aid officer suggests she go apply for the Bride Program grant. After seeing the stipend offered and armed with the knowledge that there is only the remotest of possibilities that she'd turn out to be someone's perfect match, she decides to take a chance...Junrig joined the Bride Fleet not to find a bride, but to help make life easier for those who did. He knows he's more at home with starship environmental systems than people, and that's okay. His assignment to the flagship of the Bride Fleet means he'd be among the last entered into the matching program anyway, and only then once more of the warriors and support staff on the other ships have mated. The day he is alerted to his match, he's astounded.Is it all a mistake, or is their melded family's happiness truly written in the stars? They came to share knowledge and the chance to find some of their destined mates. It was so much more than either species could have imagined.

"Where are all the breeding farms?"All Marley had wanted to do was get justice for her twin sister and all of the rest of women duped by the Mylos into becoming their brides thanks to their hinky scholarship program. She hadn't meant for things to go as far as they did, but the time of reckoning had come. With Melissa's rescue and the arrest of the two goons she'd hired, it had only been a matter of time before she got caught.Reunited with her twin on one of the distant Mylos planets, she got a big dose of reality. Her twin was happy, deeply in love and loved just as much in return, and a mother. There were no breeding farms as the propaganda had told her there were. Faced with the lies she'd been told and the damage she'd done, Marley had a choice to make- just how to make it up to Melissa, Junrig, and the rest of the Mylos and their brides current and potentially future. When the Mylos Council suggest a publicly broadcast apology and that she try her hand at applying for the scholarship herself, she sees her chance to start making amends while rebuilding her own life. After all, it's a one in a billion chance of getting matched, right?"They want me to accept her as my mate?"Kranow joined the Bride Fleet hoping the odds would favor him and provide him with a match. When he'd been told that he had one but it was a known terrorist, he'd felt appalled. Grateful to Commander Gundar for not sharing her image or any further information that would start his mating display, he quietly prepared himself to a future of being mateless. When he hears Marley has gone through rehabilitation and is now looking to make amends, he's horrified at the Council's request of him: allow his match to become public and accept Marley as his bride. A bride that has no idea that he's already been identified as her match and thinks she's taking a long shot chance, all as a gesture of a repentance. Can he trust her sincerity and allow himself to share his heart and soul?There's only one way to find out. They came to share knowledge and the chance to find some of their destined mates. It was so much more than either species could have imagined.
