Cosmic Heat: An Alien Burlesque Romance (Galactic Gems Series Book 3)

Max has spent his life dreaming of the limelight, and as an aerial performer with a flair for the dramatic, he is finally ready to show the universe exactly what he’s made of. But when he takes the stage, he discovers that the most electrifying performance of his life won’t happen in front of an audience, but in the private, smoldering heat of an unexpected encounter with Moss. Moss is a nonbinary, intersex alien who has seen plenty of humans, yet none have ever possessed the magnetic pull of this rising star. What begins as a touch—a sudden, desperate spark of attraction—quickly ignites into a fated-mates connection that hums with intensity. As they navigate a world of tentacle-laced intimacy and delicious, high-octane spice, they realize their bond is far more than physical; it is a fundamental cosmic shift. However, the glitz of the stage hides a brewing danger that threatens to pull them apart before their connection can truly take flight. In the third installment of the Galactic Gems series, Clio Evans delivers a fast-burn romance that balances breathtaking passion with high-stakes theater. It is a bold, queer exploration of love in a galaxy that demands they perform for their survival—and for each other.
