Accidentally Fearless (The Bureau of Accidental Abductions #1)

A paintball arena manager who’s never been taken seriously. A seven-foot alien commander who’s never lost control.

And a mistranslation that drops her into his war with nothing but a spiral notebook and zero respect for tradition.

Rory Sullivan has spent six years running a paintball arena in Scranton—managing teenage hostage situations, defusing parental meltdowns, and watching her boss’s son take credit for her work.

When a budget-strapped alien temp agency mistranslates “recreational combat commander” as “Supreme Leader” and beams her onto a warship in her cat pajamas, she’s expected to win a ceremonial war she doesn’t understand.

Commander Vrex Talon, the rigid Velkorin warrior who hired her, expected a battle-hardened general. He got a woman who asks about the pizza budget.

Now they’re rewriting his war strategy using paintball tournament tactics—aggressive scheduling, creative rule exploitation, and the radical concept of actually trying to win.

Vrex has spent three years losing this war by following tradition. Rory doesn’t follow tradition. She follows results.

And the way his bioluminescent scales glow every time she takes command of a room is becoming impossible for either of them to ignore. They have thirty days.

After that, she goes home—unless the universe has other ideas.
