Welcome to Galaxy Brides
A Note from the Author
Dear Readers,
For those of you familiar with my bestselling series, Dragon Lords, you’ve already been introduced to the Galaxy Brides Corporation and the services they offer lonely men and women of the future. What you might not have known is that Galaxy Brides (formerly aka Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides
) dabbled in taking grooms to destinations—namely Earth! Unfortunately, they found the alien males a little too hard to control once they landed on our surface.
I hope you have as much fun reading this series as I’ve had writing it!

To My Readers,
For always being willing to take that next adventure with me.
Chapter One
Frxsolis Settlement Airspace, Planet Bravon, Solarus Quadrant, Modern Day
Welcome to GAMOB,
a cheery voice announced over the spacecraft’s intercom system.
Kal grinned at his two cousins in excitement. The soft rumble of the ship’s engine vibrated along the back of his seat as they lifted off Bravon’s sweltering exterior. It had been years since he and his cousins had extended joint time off from their jobs mining ash, and even longer since they’d actually left the planet.
During the cooler hours, which were inhabitable, to say the least, extendable turbines that harnessed the power of the nearby suns to sustain life below the surface dominated the planet’s horizon. Underground, the mining settlement of Frxsolis was made up of clusters of old decommissioned spaceships and hollowed tunnels. There was no mistaking or upselling Bravon as anything but a grimy mining outpost floating in an unforgiving solar system. It wasn’t exactly a known tourist destination.
No. You can’t do it like that,
a less enthusiastic man corrected over the comm. Turbulence caused the ship to rattle. You have to say the name.
Vin’s dark eyes narrowed questioningly as he looked over from his seat. Kal nodded and smiled, trying to reassure him this wasn’t some half-rate tour he’d booked them on. Don’t worry. They’re just training a new guy. Nothing to be concerned over. This is a class act operation.
But we have grooms too, not just brides, so that doesn’t make it very clear,
the first intercom voice reasoned.
Grooms?
Sev leaned forward to look over his brother’s shoulder at Kal. Why did that man say grooms?
Doesn’t matter what makes sense to you. They fired the last guy who tried to cut corners,
the brusquer intercom voice answered.
Kal?
Vin insisted. Why did he say grooms?
Both cousins stared at him. They were in the cabin of the small ship with a dozen other men. Once the shuttle was done picking up all its passengers in the surrounding quadrants, they would disembark onto the long voyage starship.
Kal purposefully averted his attention forward. His cousins weren’t the only ones feeling anxious. Kal sensed the potent recklessness in the other men on board the small shuttlecraft. It was well hidden beneath their calm exteriors, but it was there. He felt like he was seated in a tinderbox waiting for a stray flare to ignite the frenzy within.
Kal didn’t want to create a scene by answering his cousins right away. He’d planned on giving them an explanation once they were safely sailing the deep black and in their private cabin suite—far from where either of them could demand they be let off the ship.
Welcome to Galaxy Brides where we join hearts across the universes,
the first voice stated.
Um, no. Not like that,
the second voice corrected. The management doesn’t like it when we shorten the name. Something about customer clarity.
So every time we have to say—?
Yes. Every time.
Ugh, fine,
the first man grumbled, then louder, he announced with much less enthusiasm than before, Welcome to Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides where we are joining hearts across the universes.
Better. Wait. Blast it, are you leaving the comm on between announcements?
The popping sound of the intercom microphone being shut off ended the overhead conversation.
Why did that man say we’re on a mail order bride ship?
Vin demanded.
Do I look like a bride to you?
Sev asked.
Yes,
Kal and Vin answered in unison without hesitation.
Sev frowned, unamused. He was always so serious, ever since his parents died when an air lock malfunctioned in the mines. Heat from outside flooded the underground shaft on the outskirts of the settlement. Since then, he’d taken responsibility for his younger brother. He only had few pleasures in life—reading, drinking after a hard day hauling ash, and a good all-out brawl.
It’s probably just a shuttle ride to our main ship, right?
Vin said. Where is the layover? What’s our next ship?
Kal picked up a magazine chip on the consul next to him. I told you, we’re going to that remote planet called Earth. You remember it, right? I showed you those rogue transmission waves from there.
The one with the men wearing strange costumes and hats, kneeling in lines and shooting primitive weapons at each other while not bothering to get out of the way?
Sev grimaced. I cannot comprehend any reason to fight in such an unfortunate manner unless their population is so large that is how they deal with it.
No one could understand what they were saying,
Vin put forth. The language was gibberish.
They have women. They have food we are able to digest. They have a breathable atmosphere,
Kal pointed out. And a big selling point is they’re so primitive that they haven’t officially discovered life forms off their own planet yet. That means no inter-alien politics like we were forced to deal with last time. We will easily blend in with the local humans.
Primitive? Then won’t they notice a bunch of aliens landing there?
Sev’s stern expression did not lessen. "Why can’t we
