Rane by Arcadia Shield

Rane is an Olickie – a diplomatic support advisor who is tired of massaging the egos of overpaid administrators. His enhanced mind manipulation ability makes him invaluable. One day, after almost derailing peace talks, he discovers he’s not as important as he thought he was.
Nell is sick of aliens. She thinks they’re weird, freaky, and they give her the chills. This wouldn’t be a problem if she didn’t surround herself with them every day. She has to, it’s her job as a matchmaker at My Single Alien. It’s also a way to help get free from the crippling fear she has about her own alien abduction. Nothing she does works. Nell just doesn’t get the attraction to aliens, and the daily battle she faces with her terror is ruining her.
One night, Nell stumbles into Rane’s art studio, and everything changes.
A deceitful shape-shifting alien and a devious diplomat threaten war, putting not only Nell and Rane’s newfound happiness at risk but the whole space station.
Can Nell overcome her past and work with Rane to save the station and stop a war? Does she find out what happened to her when she was abducted? And can Nell find love with a mind manipulating alien or is she destined to be alone?
