"Human beings are vile, nasty creatures. Blood thirsty. Evil by their very nature. That is was we were told. By them. Humans relished for millennia in systematically destroying one another. Our innate yearning for violence lead to not only the destruction of ourselves, but of our planet. Our home. Our planet was dead, our species nearly extinct, so we left. Those who survived dreamed of finding a new planet, a safe haven where we could start over. But our technology was failing and we never made it to our destination. We were adrift in space. Destined to die in the emptiness of the universe. It was luck that the Morrí heard the signal broadcasting. It was altruism that they came to our aid. It was their generosity that provided a home and a life for the remaining humans. They were our saviors. Without the Morrí, the last of humankind would have perished along with a broken vessel. That, at least, was the version of history we were taught. Humans had to earn their place among the Morrí. Humans must prove themselves. Humans are not to be trusted due to our volatile nature. Humans owed their very existence to their Morrí superiors." Keep your head down and survive. Don't attract the attention of our Saviors. Lena has spent her life following the rules set forth by her father to avoid any conflict with the alien race who saved humanity. It's worked for the most part, until a chance encounter leads to her becoming entangled in a dangerous game of politics and war between Morrí leaders. All of her perceptions of the race she's served her whole life are challenged as she's forced to put her trust in one who she's always considered an enemy.

As far as dads go, Grace hadn't exactly lucked out. Blake Travis is a narcissistic rock star who has his sights set on making a comeback but he can't do it without his daughter's help. Thanks to a mountain of debt that her socialite mother accumulated, Grace reluctantly agrees with Blake's plan and works on proving to the whole world that her father, who hadn't been around for most of her life, was actually a real peach. Unfortunately, being on tour means singing on tour and Grace is a little out of practice. When the surly drummer in her father's band tries to get her to leave, will Grace stick around long enough to find her voice? And can a girl who doesn't know what it's like to have a father convince the world that her Dad is #1?
