Prisha has always thought herself the adventurous type. During an overnight hiking trip with her sister, her daring is tested when she encounters an alien spacecraft. What else can she do but board?

There, she meets a being both apathetic and kind; organic and artificial. Alf, she affectionately names him. Despite his experiments and 'data collection', she comes to view him as her friend-and more.

Mostly machine he might be, but his feelings for her compel him to assist humanity. However, powerful beings are watching and Alf is forced to abandon his task-and Prisha.

Fearful of her own people, Prisha goes on the run, assisted by her sister and a fanatical police officer.

She is soon caught, and during her confinement discovers something unexpected. Something impossible. Something that makes her question Alf's intentions ...

... and his heart.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

Melanie thought she had escaped her past, but when a deadly virus strikes her friends, she discovers a horrifying truth-she is the cure. Now hunted by The Power Enclave, the secretive organization that once held her captive, Melanie must uncover the truth about her abilities and the betrayal of those closest to her. With enemies closing in and her estranged father holding dangerous secrets, she faces an impossible choice: save herself or risk everything to stop the virus. In a world driven by power, trust is a luxury Melanie can't afford. (Note: this isn't my first sorry but more of the first one I post)
