Alien Peacelords: The Coriolis Effect
Why have a midlife crisis on Earth when you can have one among the stars?
After her third post-release layoff from a major gaming studio, Coriolis Washington is ready to try something new. Like, going-to-another-world new. And whatever her friend's lurid romance novels might say, Cori knows perfectly well that the alien world Fali-tan needs programmers to write code – not sexy women to fill out harems.
Despite being far more technologically advanced than Earth in most respects, Fali-tan’s computers were no better than punch-card-driven mainframes, and had not improved in generations until the discovery of their long-lost cousins on Earth. Now, Fali-tan's population is eager to achieve their own Information Age, and technology companies bend over backwards to hire skilled Earth developers. Even some of Fali-tan's peacelords, leaders of their nations, will go to great lengths to attract people like Coriolis to their country.
… and the shocking, overwhelming physical attractiveness of humans is the least of Coriolis's charms to rival peacelords and ex-lovers Dhavoran and Tyvalon.

Ever wanted to visit an alien world?
Low tension, lovely people, a world full of human-like aliens who find humans adorable, and seem remarkably well behaved. Some sex scenes.

An excellent poly romance, with a side serving of espionage, intrigue and a game designer discovering to her shock that she's a superstar on the alien planet.

Great worldbuilding, slow burn plot but I was entertained the whole time by the very detailed culture and the misunderstandings that cropped up.
