Marianne Woolsey is a high school Spanish teacher in rural Iowa, when Earth Central Command decides her linguistic talents would be better exercised if she spent 26 years teaching the daughter of an alien ruler on a planet 24 light years from Earth. Deeply wounded by a childhood trauma, she avoids men, but now she's thrown into close contact with a man who is as dangerous as he is gentle.
Driven by duty, and deadly to anyone who dares cross him, the Sural has ruled his province and led his planet far longer than he can admit to his daughter's human tutor. He hides much more from the space-faring races of the Trade Alliance than he is willing to reveal. What he doesn't want Central Command to know, he has to conceal from Marianne, but that becomes increasingly difficult as years pass and her exotic beauty breaks down the walls he long ago built around his heart.
The Marann is a sweet romance with a non-graphic description of an assault memory. Might not be suitable for young teens.« less
