The aliens kill every human they catch, or in rare cases, put trackers on them to discover their hidden villages. When Natalie is caught in an ambush, she is unexpectedly released. But there is no tracker. The Saursunes have an entirely different motive this time. *** Run. Don't look back. When Natalie is trapped in an alien ambush, she is unexpectedly released. The first human to ever be let go. The Saursunes invaded centuries ago, and everyone knows that getting caught is certain death. Natalie is confused but grateful to be alive. As a porter, one of the few humans with the rare ability to teleport between special crystal formations, she must leave the safety of her desert village every day to help gather food. When other villages increase their raids on the Saursunes' farms, the aliens retaliate by hunting down every human they can find - except Natalie's group. Instead of trying to kill her and those helping her, they bring them food instead. Is it a trap? Or something else? Natalie isn't sure, but one thing is certain: the Saursunes aren't done with her yet.

When billionaire playboy Nick Sinclair sets his sights on the one woman who wants nothing to do with him, will he be able to change his ways to win her heart? ***** Sparks fly when trouble comes knocking on billionaire playboy Nick Sinclair's office door. Enter: Caroline Stewart, his new temporary secretary, who's twenty-one and blissfully unaware of the effect she has on her notoriously womanizing boss. The problem? Before Nick can convince her he's after more than a one night stand, their first (innocent) kiss is caught on camera and goes viral. Now forced to pretend they're in a serious, committed relationship to appease both his parents and the press, Nick isn't sure which of Caroline's kisses are real and which are just for show. And as one kiss leads to another and another, the line between professionalism, deception, and love threatens to blur beyond anyone's recognition... [[Word Count: 100,000-150,000]]
