Starstruck (Hiatt)

A Martian misfit… Molly O'Gara has never really fit in anywhere, born on Mars to Ag farmer parents but adopted and raised by a high-ranking Royal family. Unfortunately Molly lacks the usual skill with plants that go with her birth heritage, while also lacking the prestige she would have as a true Royal. Her only claim to importance is being appointed official Handmaid to the Martian Sovereign, Emileia. Holding such a position is a great honor for a lowly Ag but now that she and Emileia, better known as M, are back on Earth, there is little for Molly to do in that capacity. That is, until a new Royal boy shows up at Jewel High. Though absurdly handsome, Tristan is also arrogant and obnoxious-and seems determined to steal M, the Sovereign, away from her bonded soulmate, Rigel. As Handmaid, Molly's job now is to keep Tristan away from M and Rigel, even if that means spending way more time in his company than she'd like. Such familiarity breeds contempt, on both sides. At first, anyway… The much-anticipated continuation of the electrifying Starstruck series, where teen romance blends with science fiction to open a whole new world of action, adventure and discovery!

A whimsical Starstruck short story for Halloween! Rigel suspects Trina plans to play a Halloween trick on M during her party, but he's determined to make M's evening a treat. Halloween Tricks & Treats is a fun little Starstruck story that expands on the events of The Handmaid's Secret. This short story occurs two days before the end of The Handmaid's Secret and three days before the beginning of Convergent.
