Lucy
My life took a tailspin when an injured alien crash-landed at my watchtower. Things got worse when a bunch of giant cockroaches came to collect him-and decided to take me too. Now I'm imprisoned on an alien ship with the same alien I tried to save. Only this time, he's awake. He's big, he's scary, and he's watching me like I'm prey to be caught.

I'm prepared for anything. I must be, as a splice who's outlived his singular purpose: war. But shot down in Earth space and imprisoned with a wary human female, my plans evaporate. I'm drawn to this alien, who looks at me with suspicion but defends me ferociously, and stirs feelings I don't understand. We need each other to escape. But even if we do, how can I possibly let her go?
