Elias by Arcadia Shield

Closed-minded alien with PTSD and intimacy issues seeks an invisible woman who wants nothing from him and doesn’t believe in true love. Adventurous sexual goddesses need not apply.

When a damaged alien and a cautious, heart-broken human find themselves drawn to each other thanks to a shared love of the past, they discover a chance to try love. Can it really be as amazing as everyone says it is?
Elias lives a life of solitude. He has his work and his one friend. That’s all he needs. After an unforgettable night with a Retar princess, he wants nothing to do with women. After all, they only want to kill him.
But there is one woman who interests him. She’s passionate, beautiful, and bothers his thoughts. If he wasn’t so broken, he’d consider her for his one true mate.
Hayley Goodacre is living a lie. Every day she expects to get found out, revealed for a fraud, and thrown off the space station. That can’t happen. If it does, she loses her sister. She’ll do anything to keep her alive.

If she keeps quiet and fakes it until she makes it, she might pull this off. If only she didn’t keep getting distracted by the huge, serious-faced, gorgeous Retar. Why does his presence make her think such inappropriate thoughts?
When their pasts catch up with them, they must face their fears together if they are to survive.
