The Marann

She was a teacher, not a spy. 
 

High school Spanish teacher Marianne Woolsey was happy with her life, until Earth Central Command forced her to sign up for a 26-year assignment light-years from Earth. In spite of herself, from the moment she meets her new employer’s infant daughter, she is all in, professionally and personally.

Patient and deadly, the Sural has ruled Tolar for centuries. When he requests a tutor from Earth for his daughter and heir, Central Command sends him someone much more intriguing than the passive spy he expected. But this human woman clearly has secrets of her own, buried deep in her past, and even an empath like the Sural cannot be entirely sure of her motives.

On Tolar, espionage comes with a death sentence, and Marianne’s growing attraction for her employer might just get her killed. 

The Marann is the award-winning first book in the Tales of Tolari Space science fiction series. If you like planetary adventure and heart-warming romance, you’ll love Christie Meierz’ tales of the reclusive Tolari.
