I LOVE the disguised as a different gender trope in romances!

Which is why it's so perfect that Tamsen asked me to share her book because I'm actually in the middle of writing my own hidden gender swap alien romance because I love the trope so much!

Her Alien Captor has our main FMC Jayden disguised as a male on a ship full of mating research experiments while the commander of the ship Tensel is actively looking for HER, while she is literally at his side as a crewmate!

Now, I know most of you remember Commander Tensel from Her Alien Warrior's romance between Sou-el and our later-in-life romance with Renee, and a request from many readers is for Tensel to have a tough time before his HEAFN. He must work for his mate's happiness, which is what any warrior wishes for their mate.

Until Tensel's romance releases with Her Alien Captor, you can check out Her Alien Warrior and meet him when he's more focused on honoring his tribe by any means necessary than to accept that a fated mate could be anything more than stories the elders told younglings in passing fairytales.

Her Alien Captor Sneak Peek:

Jayden:

"Olben, I have not seen you at your office for many cycles," Commander Rokva said then whetted her lips as if she were ready to devour him.

He bowed his head and I watched as his epul spikes on his shoulders retracted and then extended again as a sign of respect. "I assure you, I honor my duties regardless of where on the ship I'm located."

I pursed my lips to keep from smiling at the fact that Olben was avoiding her by making rounds through the ship and verifying reports with self-inspections instead of reviewing the reports given by other officers. He insisted that a manual inspection was warranted randomly to keep the warriors accountable to their duties, but it's definitely because he knew exactly where Commander Rokva was on the ship at all times. He's become more obsessive about avoiding being alone with her ever since she decorated the security office with her blood a few star rotations ago.

"Chief Olben," Commander Tensel interrupted before either of them could avoid whatever it was that was happening between them, "You are trained in tracking data across systems, and it's no surprise to you that when I asked for a list of the tribe's best at finding information and tracing data to its source, you are ranked among them. Though it is strange to see that you've chosen this vessel instead of our many warships to station at when you would have had your pick of assignments. I'm not here to judge your honored path among the tribe, and it so happens your skills are required to find a human with only her Earth files to work with."

Olben nodded but didn't say a word as a file appeared on the screen next to us. I stifled a gasp. It was me. It was my file. My cheeks reddened and I wished that I had kept my long hair to hide my face.

"We're looking for a human named Jayden Woodland of Earth. She missed the transport, and it's possible she's still on Earth, but we need to know if she was abducted instead. If she's still on Earth then you can confirm and we'll pick her up, but if she was abducted then we'll have to find another human with her biomarkers while we send a team to retrieve her. Every human looks like another, even their pictures are hard to see beyond their coloring. This one is among the ninety percent of Earth's population to have dark brown to black hair. Even her eyes are brown."

"It is a common coloring for hoomuns," Olben agreed. I could say something about my species, but I remained quiet to see what more I could learn while they ignored me.

"Sou-el said that it's normal for other species to have trouble identifying features even when they are distinctly different as we see on our own faces. He called it cross-tribal effect, which is actually a psychological effect of lumping all humans into perceived otherness and not considering them part of the tribe. The same issue happens between tribes on Necias Prime." Commander Rokva kindly explained while markedly nodding to me in apology. She was acknowledging that I was present, and I could sense she believed this was an issue that needed addressing within more areas than simply Necias Prime.

There was a reason Rokva was respected and commanded her own crew, and it wasn't a rule out of fear, but one of inclusion and value of every member, even humans.

"So, we need another human to help recognize the features we cannot then," Commander Tensel said while staring at me with a lifted brow ridge. "Chief Olben, you'll trace her location through the data, and the youngling human will assist me in locating Jayden of Earth when I retrieve her." He tapped his temples and narrowed his eyes curiously. "Aye-den, sounds like your name represents saying yes-home. Many humans name their spawn after their purposes. It is a strong name to be the home of your tribe. One must be strong to keep the tribe safe and be a place where other warriors rest. Learn well from Olben and earn honor for your name when you are grown."

I was grown, I thought with an internal huff, but said nothing. To them I was a human boy, not even a fully-formed male. It was the only way to pass off as male with how small I was to be a boy.

"It means fire," I corrected him under my breath as his attention shifted back to Olben.

"So many words for the same thing on your planet," Commander Tensel said with a smile that didn't quite reach his amber-colored eyes. I had a feeling he didn't like being wrong about something, let alone being corrected. "I should like to learn more about how you were taught to attract a mate on your planet. I must practice before we find Jayden of Earth."

I scoffed before I could stop myself. There was no way I'd ever consider Commander Tensel as a mate, no matter how much "honor" he held with his tribe. I'd sooner date Olben. And as much as he denied it, I've caught him spying on Rokva several times disguised as avoidance, but I was sure he liked her back. Why he stayed away, I wasn't quite sure when it was obvious Rokva liked him too.

"You wish to have a human mate?" Rokva inquired with a kind of enthusiasm that spoke of wanting to claim some involvement with her matchmaking skills.

"I'll start with a human mate to promote more cooperation within the tribe to send spawnlings back to Necias Prime. I'll have enough data during the human's lifespan to then take on a new mate."

"You're going to what, mate a human for science?" I blurt out. How romantic, I thought with sarcasm.

Chief Olben cleared his throat and tried to divert the commander's attention on himself. "A noble sacrifice for the tribe."

"There's nothing noble about using a human like a tissue. That's worse than treating us like puppies," I grumbled.

Olben glared at me to keep quiet, and I shut my mouth while folding my arms over my already bound chest that was now feeling more and more like a straight-jacket, cutting off my air supply.

"Fire," Commander Tensel said with a smile before moving on like I hadn't dishonored a high-ranking warrior. "Olben, you'll transfer the boy into my service so that he may know that I do not treat my tissues or puppies with dishonor."

All of my books are standalone alien romances, each a separate complete romance, read in any order, and with their interconnected plots, each book layers and you find out more about the world the more you read. Have questions from one book? Read another one, and you're sure to find more answers, and perhaps more questions as the universe unravels. That's what I love about sci-fi adventures set in the same universe, there's so much room to play!
