Ry McGrath has never claimed to be a good person. It is widely thought that she isn't.
But that's only speculation of course, for a very simple reason.
Miss McGrath is unknowable. This collection of documents is the only information the Earth Space Study Organization (or, the E.S.S.O.) has on her. And Miss McGrath controls this collection.
The issue isn't hard to see, we're sure.
However, in an attempt to improve our database on Miss McGrath, the E.S.S.O. has decided to make this collection accessible to the public. We ask anyone with information on the individual know as Ry McGrath to, please, step forward. We thank you for your time.
~████ █████, spokesperson of the E.S.S.O.

You are not a human. Your ancestors came to earth thousands of years ago and have evolved with humans. At that time interbreeding was strictly forbidden. When the number of Parthams started dwindling, some of them started breeding with humans.

They compete against each other and only one of the siblings will be selected and then separated from the family. Leysa Bhaskara has secrets, that she has safeguarded for many years. But now they are threatened to be exposed. Her family and her children don't have any idea of what the future holds for them. Her children are going to be put through the Selective Legacy Tests, where they are going to compete against each other. Only one is going to be selected. What will happen if her family is threatened? And the future of an entire planet is in jeopardy. This story is about Leysa and Navil and their three children Aaden, Vysna and Tashvin. How their lives will change and what secrets they uncover in their world and the Partham ( Aliens that are living among them ) world along with fighting with sinister forces.

If he hates me so much, then why did he marry me and what does he mean by.. "What do you mean by 'girls like me' ?" I asked. He turned around and walked even closer, all my confidence began to fade. He leaned in, I could feel his breath on my ears. His closeness was doing things to me I have never felt before. I was on the verge of losing my senses, until he spoke.. "An innocent acting, desperate brat." His words pierced my heart, moreover his tone, his words reminded me of people I have been fighting all my life.

An age gap love story. A brokenhearted billionaire. A college girl. ***** "Nevaeh," Aiden whispers, "can I rest my head on your shoulder?" I nod, letting him rest his head on my shoulder. He closes his eyes. "Thank you." He sighs in contentment. "Heaven." "Heaven?" "It's your name spelled backward, isn't it?" ***** The moment I first saw Aiden Klein, the first thing that came up in my head was how perfect he was. A good hard working man who loves his family more than anything else, Aiden Klein has been the subject of the desire of many women. His wealth and success as one of the most influential leaders in the business world are nothing compared to his golden heart. The world keeps asking the same questions over and over again, "How would he love his woman?" The sad thing is, we will never know. Because his heart has been frozen. Eyes are blind for any woman. Touch is forbidden for their skin. Aiden Klein cannot love a woman. Yet, I know that it's far from the truth. Aiden Klein can love a woman so fiercely, his love would break you. Because I've seen it once, accidentally. He's the broken hero. And I'm the villain in this story. ***** THE KLEINS SERIES BOOK #3 © Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.

Earth and humanity were saved, and the little planet to thank for their salvation was named Umbra. Alice is a xenoarchaeologist, her passion in life has always been the study of ancient cultures, and now she has the opportunity to study the most ancient one of them all.
