Meringean Castoffs
(2025)(The first book in the Envoy of Meringea series)
A novel by Marilyn Foxworthy
I was probably the only one on the planet who would know that she wasn't a human. I was the only one who'd been off-world. She was a Castoff Unit. I knew that much. What I didn't know was why her boss, the Innkeeper, was in my room, screaming at me and waking me up this early in the morning. I was the royal Envoy of Meringea... you don't do that!
Another thing I didn't know yet was why the Castoff was in my bed. She was the maid who'd cleaned my room for the past few days. It took me a few days to figure out what she was, and now she was yelling at her boss that I intended to buy her contract and take her away with me. That wasn't part of my plan, and if she'd been from this world, that would definitely not be part of my current mission. But now it was... and that's how this started.
