BOOK: The Captain and the Ambassador by Carol Ann Kauffman
Ambassador Tull Redmond is seeking a quick ride home to Earth after concluding her twenty-year mission as a peace negotiator. All she wants is peace, quiet, and to be left alone. She boards the Earth Starship Giuseppe Verdi with its questionable leader, Captain Ben Jacobs, anyway. It's the fastest way home.
Her quarters has a full bath, a space view window, and a large, real bed! How bad could this rule-breaking, authority-defying Captain Casanova be? High Council hates him, true, but his crew loves him.
Surely, she's too old and tired to be drawn into this bad boy of the quadrant's personal circus.
Will Ambassador Redmond get the quiet, uneventful ride home she craves?

BOOK: Dark Return, Belterra Book Two, by Carol Ann Kauffman
Dark Return is the sequel to Belterra, Time After Time, and takes place about ten years afterwards.
When Belterra was populated long ago by a select group of humans sent here by the ancients in the hope of saving the human race, the indigenous race of bat-like creatures called the Batrach were forced into the ocean and underground sea caves by a giant force field.
Over time the force field has weakened.
The Batrach have emerged from their watery prison and they want their planet back.
