Forbidden Planet

Captain Tyris Bekkert is prepared to risk everything in his search for redemption. And he's on the way to achieving it when he crash lands on a mysterious planet—one that has been deleted from the star charts. With a damaged spaceship, Tyris is sure he's doomed, until he discovers a village of people who shouldn’t be there. But despite being stranded for nearly twenty years, the villagers are strangely reluctant to help him escape.

All except Marlee.

For Marlee, Tyris's damaged spaceship is a lifeline. It's an opportunity to put her past of broken relationships behind her and ensure a better future. She agrees to help Tyris repair his ship, but only if he pretends to be her partner to appease the council, who are pressuring her into another relationship.

As winter closes in, they're cut off from the ship. Tyris and Marlee's pretence is tested to their limits. For Marlee, the handsome space captain is everything she always wanted. The only problem is their time is limited.

They need a baby soon. If they fail, the council will rip them apart.
