The Alien Medic: An MM Alien Romance (Interspecies Alliances #3)

Falling in love ruined Maxwell once. He refuses to let it ruin him again. Maxwell Terry has spent his life as a doctor helping others, all while hiding his deepest secret from them. He knows firsthand the pain and terror that comes from falling in love, and he promised himself that he’d never make the same mistake again. But Garrett Twal, with his easy laugh and his charming smile, makes him want to break that promise. Garret Twal has always been the biggest and strongest man in the room, and for as long as he can remember, he’s used his size to protect and care for people. He’d care for the sweet doctor with the steady hands and the sad eyes too, if Maxwell Terry would just let him! Even if the man is clearly hiding something. And even if Garrett knows better than most the damage a traitor can do. But Garrett and Maxwell don’t have time to take it slow with each other. Their planet is lying in ruins, with poisonous storms raging through the air and pirates picking over its carcass. As their relationship heats up and the danger around them grows more intense, will they be able to hold on to each other or will their fears and their pasts tear them apart and doom their home? With generous servings of hurt/comfort, secrets, and trust issues (and snarky Sebastian), The Alien Medic is the fourth book in Interspecies Alliances —a series best read in order about a galaxy torn apart by conflict and the men fighting to keep it together.
