Her Alien's Secret Saboteur
(2026)(The fifth book in the Love at Hot Mess Station series)
A novel by Mina Goodwin
She came to audit his budgets. He knew she’d find his secrets. Neither expected to uncover corporate sabotage—or fall in love.
Budget analyst Talia Uniquel is terrible at her job, and everyone knows it. So when her powerful investor father sends her to audit the failing Kepler-896 space station, she’s convinced it’s another setup designed to prove she doesn’t belong.
Enter Quaren, the station’s brilliant, obsessive alien supply officer, who’s been keeping the station operational through sheer stubbornness, creative accounting, and an unhealthy relationship with spreadsheets.
He thinks she’s corporate sabotage in human form.
She thinks he’s an insufferably condescending control freak.
But when Talia’s data analysis uncovers a pattern of deliberate supply-chain attacks, the two are forced into close-quarters collaboration—late nights, shared terminals, and chemistry neither of them can ignore.
As their investigation exposes a station-level conspiracy, the danger escalates. The saboteur isn’t just threatening Kepler-896’s survival—they’re targeting the found family who call it home.
Exposing the truth could destroy Talia’s career and sever the last tie to her powerful family. Staying silent means betraying the alien who finally sees her brilliance—and the crew who are becoming something dangerously close to home.
