RHEA’S CONUNDRUM
A mystical misfire. A grumpy alien. A romance that’s truly out of this world.
One moment, quirky witch Rhea Tanner was barefoot in Baga Shores, Florida. The next, she and her snarky cat, Alika, are trapped in the cargo hold of a space junker bound for the Segarian galaxy.
No shoes. No phone. Definitely no plan.
C’tloc has enough problems—his ship is failing; he’s stuck light-years from home. Now he has two stowaways with a flair for magical mayhem. The last thing he expects is for one of them to be a charming Earthling who turns his carefully ordered life upside down.
With help from his tiny sidekick, Nikkto, C’tloc is drawn to Rhea in ways he never expected. And as their chemistry grows in the tight confines of deep space, so does the pull on Rhea’s heart.
But when disaster strikes, she faces an impossible choice! Give up her only way home… or save the man she loves.
Here’s what READER’S FAVORITE said!
“A captivating love story set in space, Rhea’s Conundrum hooks you in from the first page and refuses to release you until the last page… a lot of heart, romance, and magic in this tale, tinged with a healthy dose of science fiction elements… Rhea and C’tloc’s relationship development feels genuine… and you will find it easy to root for them. Alika is the perfect embodiment of a sassy cat, while Nikkto is simply adorable. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and heartily recommend it to romance readers.

GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER?
A second chance at love…literally out of this world!
Rhea Tanner’s midlife crisis and a wayward spell sent her spinning through the Segarian galaxy on an alien spaceship, accompanied by her feline familiar. She never expected to fall for the handsome captain.
Widower, C’tloc, not always the captain of a solitary space junk picker, was once a wealthy and respected leader on the planet Akerlon in the Segarian galaxy. But an invasion and takeover of his home cost him everything and forced his family into exile on Drakarus.
His family homecoming is less than stellar when C’tloc declares the alien from Earth, or what Akerlons call H’taer, is his new pair-bonded mate. After C’tloc uncovers the rebellion against the tyrants, there is not much time to gain his family’s support.
He faces a hard choice. Either send a reluctant Rhea back to Earth, or grant her wish to fight alongside him.
In either case, they and their love could vanish among the stars.

Here’s What Paranormal Romance Guild Said!
4 out of 5 stars!
Review By a Member of the Paranormal Romance GuildER Review Team April 2025
Rhea, a witch from Earth, finds herself on a spacecraft after a spell gone wrong. She falls in love with Captain C’tloc and the rest is history! Except now she has to meet his family. C’tloc worries that his daughters will have a tough time accepting Rhea, considering she comes from another planet. To further complicate matters, C’tloc and his people are on the planet Drakarus under duress. They have been chased off their home planet of Akerlon and are being controlled by the Claatu. Now they must work together to escape their captors and start a new life together.
I liked this so much more than I could have predicted! It’s a perfect ‘second chance at love’ combined with a compelling sci-fi plot. The writing flows so nicely, I found myself not able to put it down. Candace Colt’s world building had the perfect amount of detail so that I could be completely immersed in the story. I am very interested in going back to read the first book to find out exactly how Rhea came to be on C’tloc’s spaceship. I’m also looking forward to seeing how the Akerlon rebellion and Rhea and C’tloc’s love progresses.

“… a captivating story that explores themes of family, second chances, and space adventures. Although Rhea Tanner and C’tloc’s relationship may be unconventional, their love and devotion to each other are undeniable… This story emphasizes taking a leap of faith and embracing the unknown… I enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who loves space travel novels infused with family drama and a love that transcends boundaries.”

Sign up for Candace’s newsletter and a free story about an “ordinary” veterinarian who falls in love with a “magical” coyote shapeshifter!
Love’s true magic is that it’s utterly illogical…
Dr. Emily Carter prefers four-legged patients to two-legged ones. Facing a career crisis, the gifted veterinarian with less than stellar people skills accepts a short-term position at a clinic in the quirky Florida coastal town of Baga Shores.
She expects long hours, furry clients, and zero drama. Not a soft-spoken bookseller with captivating emerald green eyes and a talent for getting under her skin.
Liam Davis—coyote shifter and proud owner of the Spellbound Bookstore—has lived in Baga Shores his whole life and is fiercely protective of his hometown. Even more so of the vet clinic his fox-shifter mother once ran. When Emily, a supposed “Ordinary,” arrives with no clue about the magical community she has stepped into, Liam is determined to keep her from upending everything.
The tables turn when Mimi Tanner, a prescient witch, forces Emily to reconsider everything she thought she knew about magic, fate, and the man she’s falling for.
