When Earth is conquered by the sinister Greys and the alien who killed Evie's husband returns seeking her help, she must find a way to enact her revenge and fight the growing feelings for the creature who is an exact replica of the man she loved. *** Two years ago, Evie Morgan's husband disappeared. Under suspicion of his murder, no one believed Evie's story about the mysterious creature with the black eyes that killed Tom and assumed his identity. Now, trying to survive in the ruins of post-invasion London, Evie's world is once more thrown into turmoil, when she meets the alien that destroyed her life. On the run from his own kind, he offers her insider knowledge on how to defeat the Greys, in return for her protection. At risk from her fellow survivors discovering 'Tom's' true identity, taking the alien back to her camp is going to be no easy task for Evie. With the alien's genetic make-up assuming more of Tom's identity every day, Evie struggles between her hatred for her husband's killer and a growing attraction for him that confuses her. The time is coming for Evie to decide. Pull the trigger or put her trust in the creature that tore her whole world apart? *** Content warning: This story contains mature sexual content, and themes of violence and reference to an attempted sexual assault.
