When Lauren Everhart and his high school bully, Peter Ducane, are thrown together in the midst of an alien invasion, the unlikely pair must reluctantly band together to survive. But emotions can get pretty complicated when the world is ending, especially when Lauren suddenly manifests strange psychic abilities which prove to be their only weapon against their alien invaders.
Bound to one another and on the run, the two must put aside their differences if they have any hope of defeating the leader of the Lyrissian Empire, Adamas Son'Raul, the very man that has set his sights on Lauren as his mate. Bonds are tested and buried secrets come to light in this new breakout sci-fi romance by author Aria J. Rossi.
With the fate of the world resting on their shoulders, can Lauren and Peter keep ahead of their extraterrestrial hunters when their unchecked desires collide, or will their fatal attraction doom them all?

'Don't catch feelings, Peter. You can't. You chose this. Normal life, remember? I wanted to meet a nice girl, settle down in a big house with a white picket fence-
I wanted to trace those full lips with mine as I mapped out every inch of his soft skin with my hands and worshipped every freckle on his body as he breathed out my name like a prayer-
Fuck.'
