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.

Over the past year, M and Rigel have averted various threats: to their relationship, to M's people, and to both Mars and Earth. M's aunt now knows the truth about her origins, and M and Rigel no longer need to hide that they're a couple. The future looks bright; but not everyone is happy with the way things are changing. When unexpected resistance arises, M and Rigel will again have to work together to keep the secret of their people and the little town of Jewel, Indiana, safe from potential disaster.

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.

Due to a lost wager, the Duke of Ravenham is obliged to bring a pretty little nobody from the country into fashion among the high-sticklers of London society. Ravenham would never refuse a debt of honor, no matter how unorthodox, so he overlooks Miss Gordon’s vulgar relations to do what is necessary, escorting the unsophisticated chit to balls, etc. But what he expects to be an irksome duty turns out to be something quite different, as he falls under the spell of his protege’s innocent charm. When he lost that wager, he definitely never counted on losing his heart as well!

We're going where?? Kira’s life in Nuath is getting better and better. She’s a rising star on a prestigious sports team and the guy she’s been crushing on has just started to notice her. When her parents decide to move to technologically backward Earth for the good of their underground Martian colony, Kira is aghast—and furious. Will life on Earth be the nightmare she anticipates or will she discover a future there beyond anything she can imagine? The much-anticipated continuation of the electrifying Starstruck series!

Nerdy astronomy geek Marsha, "M" to her few friends, has never been anybody special. Orphaned as an infant and reluctantly raised by an overly-strict "aunt", she's not even sure who she is. M's dream of someday escaping tiny Jewel, Indiana, and making her mark in the world seems impossibly distant until hot new quarterback Rigel inexplicably befriends her. As Rigel turns his back on fawning cheerleaders to spend time with M, strange things start to happen....

Marsha spent the first 15 years of her life as a nerdy nobody before discovering her true identity as the long lost princess of a secret civilization. Now M is dodging extraterrestrial paparazzi while trying to keep the truth from her adoptive aunt and uncle and everyone at school. At least she can be herself with her boyfriend and literal soulmate, Rigel.

Between keeping high security secrets from everyone (including Rigel) and trying to keep Rigel and Sean from killing each other (with no help from Trina, of course!) M has more than enough on her plate already. She knew that as the newly discovered princess of a secret Martian colony, she’d have to return there someday - but over spring break? An emergency requires her immediate presence, but not everyone is overjoyed to have their long-lost princess back. Can she win her people over in time to save the colony from destruction? And what will she have to give up in return?

M, no longer a nerdy nobody, has finally been acclaimed Sovereign Emileia, ruler of the Martian colony Nuath. But at what cost? Without her soulmate Rigel, life seems pointless, but she’s expected to shake off her heartbreak and assume her responsibilities. Reluctantly, M does what she must, until an unexpected discovery restores a glimmer of hope for the future. Now she is determined to do whatever she can to salvage her longed-for happy ending - if it’s not already too late.

Though not a superstitious man, Lord Dearborn humors his mother by going to her fortuneteller, who informs him that he will meet his Destiny —a beautiful blonde —this very Season. He scoffs, until he meets Miss Rosalind Winston-Fitts, an absolute vision of blonde loveliness. Entranced, he believes the fortuneteller may have been right after all and pursues the new beauty with an eye to making her his wife. To be sure, Miss Rosalind is not as witty or lively as her small, dark cousin, Miss Elinor O'Day, but Dearborn's tastes have always run to statuesque blondes.

Though ostensibly in London for her debut, Miss Deirdre Wheaton is far more interested in meeting celebrated poets than eligible bachelors. In fact, her deepest, most secret desire is to have her own poetry published someday...until she meets the Marquis of Wrotham.
