Her Impatient Alien Doctor
(2026)(The fourth book in the Love at Hot Mess Station series)
A novel by Mina Goodwin
A steamy sci-fi romance on a barely-functional deep-space station, featuring grumpy–sunshine chaos, forced proximity, and an alien doctor who absolutely did not sign up for feelings.
Rhonda Sturgeon is an OCD-precise compliance officer sent to Kepler-896 to catalogue violations, issue citations, and—if necessary—shut the whole mess down. She believes in rules, order, and properly labeled emergency exits.
Dr. Orris, the brooding alien chief medical officer, believes in patient care, medical ethics, and exactly zero of Rhonda’s clipboards. Orris guards his med bay like a sacred temple and treats Rhonda like a walking hazard report. Unfortunately for both of them, the station’s license—and its people—are about to implode, forcing them into constant proximity, shared decisions, and far too much eye contact.
A medical emergency proves they’re devastatingly good together. Late nights turn into lingering touches. Arguments turn into heat. And a nosy station AI offers entirely unhelpful commentary on their escalating tension.
With an official inspection looming and the station one bad system failure away from disaster, Rhonda and Orris must decide whether sticking to the rules is worth ignoring the one thing that actually works.
On Kepler-896, disaster is routine.
Falling in love? Entirely undocumented—and wildly inconvenient.
A cozy sci-fi romantic comedy featuring:
👽 Alien MMC / human FMC romance
🛠️ Enemies-to-lovers workplace tension
🚪 Forced proximity on a space station
📊 Spreadsheet flirting & data analysis foreplay
🏠 Found family space station crew
🤖 Sarcastic AI with opinions
🔥 Explicit heat
Her Impatient Alien Doctor, Book 4 in the Love at Hot Mess Station series, can be read as a standalone—but it’s even more delicious read as part of the series.
