Forced Mate was written as a loving spoof of the Historical abduction romance (or marriage of convenience romance involving courtship during a journey). I took every stock situation, and twisted it into an alien abduction romance.

I'm particularly fond of the bath scene, where the god-Prince alien from a high tech world does not appreciate that human's bathtubs are not intelligent, and will continue to fill until the faucets are manually turned off.

It has also been called a futuristic "take" on the Greek myth about the abduction of Persephone by the dark, but passionate, god of the underworld.
