The Last Celestials

Book excerpt: A defeated general. A jaded princess. A really awkward situation. Orion and Cassiopeia are the last of their kind: an ancient, powerful race of space-dwelling beings known as Celestials. After losing a terrible war against another, deadlier race, Orion appeals to Cassiopeia, hoping she'll help him save their species. After all, he's a male, she's a female... This shouldn't be complicated, right? Wrong! Cassiopeia, who has been living like a recluse for centuries, wants absolutely nothing to do with Orion. And not just because he has no manners; there are things she doesn't want him to know, secrets that drove her to self-exile. So she does the only logical thing she can think of: She runs away to Earth, where she allies herself with a group of young musicians and adopts their easygoing way of life in order to blend in. It's the perfect hiding place, right? Wrong! Little does Cassiopeia know, Orion is way better at tracking than he is at romance... though he may have to become good at both if he wants a second chance.
