Blurb from a JoCoNaut:

This is an anthology edition of the Kinsmen Universe, which includes 3 short stories. These are romance focused with a background of sci-fi. I enjoy the characters and world-building from this author team. I'm willing to drop Clean Sweep off the list in favor of this one as a romance.

Content warnings include There is at least one sexual encounter in the course of getting to the happily-ever-after.
Graphic Warning Sexual content, Violence, Stalking

Moderate War, Death, Toxic relationship

Minor Death of parent, Blood, Abandonment

Held because "Clean Sweep" by Ilona Andrews is currently on the ballot
