He pinned me against the wall, his hand on my throat and his lips on my neck. 'Run,' he said. 'I'll just drag you back.' I should hate him. I'm terrified of him. So why does my body betray me every time he whispers my name? He warned me once: "This city protects me, not you." Now I believe him. When I went to the police to escape Aleksandr Markov's relentless obsession, my sister was framed and locked up. When I tried to run, he bought my workplace and became my boss. When I begged him to let me go, he whispered in my ear with his lips pressed to my neck: "You're mine, My little dove. Struggle all you want-I'll keep you until you stop fighting... or until you break." But the scariest part? The longer I'm trapped in his cage, the less I want to leave. A billionaire villain. A powerless heroine. A game of power, obsession, and desire where losing means surrendering everything-including your heart.

(Starting to rework with beta readers) She was taken in the night. She was never supposed to be found. When Mara Ellison falls asleep on Earth, she believes the universe is empty. She wakes up to proof it isn't. Abducted by predatory aliens and dragged light-years from home, Mara survives only because a Xenoparan Vigil commander interrupts a crime already in motion. Aesryn Threx Kal is trained for restraint, discipline, and sanctioned violence. He is unprepared for humans-least of all a woman who refuses to break simply because the universe expects her to. Protection turns into proximity. Proximity turns into trust. And trust becomes something far more dangerous than either of them anticipated. Because bonding with a Vigil is permanent. Because first contact changes everything. And because humans are brave in ways no protocol accounts for, emotional in ways that destabilize command, and dangerous precisely because they refuse to know their place. As alien councils watch, protocols fracture, and Earth edges closer to discovery, Mara and Aesryn must navigate desire, power, consent, and the cost of choosing each other in a universe that does not forgive mistakes. The Vigil & The Human is a science-fiction romance about first contact, found family, feral shopping sprees, emotional support snacks, and falling in love with someone built like a weapon who chooses to be gentle anyway. Perfect for readers who love: slow-burn, consent-forward alien romance terrifyingly competent heroes with soft cores sharp humor layered over real emotional stakes "touch her and die" energy paired with "ask first" restraint Book One.

Deep in the wilderness, far from the noise of roads and the weight of human expectation, Lucia Woods has built a quiet life among the forgotten. In a weathered cabin nestled between trees and mist, she tends to injured wildlife with steady hands and a guarded heart. Known only in passing by the nearby village, Lucia speaks little, trusts less, and has long since stopped expecting the world to offer her kindness. Her solace lies in routine-tea left to steep too long, charcoal sketches of the animals she's saved, and the silent comfort of solitude. But something in the forest is changing. Strange tracks in the forests. A stillness in the trees that feels too intentional. Animals gone missing. And sometimes, when the wind is just right, she swears she isn't alone. Above and beyond that quiet world, Ka'renok watches. A veteran Yautja of gray-honor, cast to walk the border between honor and duty, he has no home but the hunt. Bound by silence and shaped by war, Ka'renok moves through shadow with reverence and precision. He distrusts humans-loud, deceitful creatures who glorify weakness and destroy what they cannot control. But in his path, one quiet human lingers like a flaw in his focus. She should be meaningless. Instead, she unsettles him. Sent to this world on a mission that requires to kill, observation and patience, Ka'renok expects nothing from Earth but complication. What he doesn't expect is Lucia. As their worlds begin to brush-first in glimpses, then in something deeper-they are both pulled into a quiet, dangerous bond neither understands. In a forest hiding more than scars and silence, hunter and healer must decide whether what connects them is worth the cost of being seen.
