❗️NOTE: The story takes its time to establish a rich, complex world before the main characters meet. It is a slow burn, but worth it.

After a devastating alien invasion leaves Earth in ruins, humanity struggles to survive in isolated zones, clinging to life behind barriers of failing technology.
Lena, a skilled engineer with fierce determination, dedicates her life to maintaining what little remains of this protective technology-especially the light posts that keep the Xyvarians at bay. But when a search for medicine pulls her outside the safe zone, she encounters a certain alien.
Towering, muscular, and adorned with sharp, curving horns, this alien is a calculated hunter, though his interest in Lena is anything but logical. Drawn to her, he pursues her in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, one that blurs the line between predator and prey.
As Lena fights to evade capture, the tension between them ignites into a charged, forbidden attraction that neither can fully understand. He is unlike any alien she's ever faced-Machiavellian, dangerous, unyielding, yet inexplicably captivated by her.
Lena, wary and unwilling to surrender, finds herself both repelled and fascinated by the Xyvarian who watches her with a gaze that burns with something far more primal.
As she grapples with confusing desires and the disturbing revelation of a breeding program, Lena is forced to question everything-her survival, her humanity, and her heart.

WARNING: I created this book years ago so it is a bit um cringy I am working on a new version of it called "Midnight Rose" if you'd be interested in that.
"What are you wearing?" He said jaw tightened...
"Gym cloths as we're in gym"...
first, he and his friends are hiding out in a freaking alleyway which was shady as heck
second, he tries to order me to sit by him
third, he hugs me without my permission
fourth, he smells me like a freaking creep which he definitely is
fifth, he growls which isn't normal
sixth, He touched me without my permission yet again almost breaks my wrist definitely bruising it and now he has the nerve to question what I'm wearing and get mad over my answer awe heck no...
I exited the locker room I saw the beast was there right outside the door and there were several girls behind him giggling and gawking at him, although he is hot I will admit that much...
I think I'm falling for Ian. I can't let Bell know...
"Well then.." his voice lowered "Evan Pierce I have every intention to win your heart and re-name you Evan Walker"...
His smirk grew then fell. Slowly he leaned in closer and closer until I could feel his warm, minty breath on my face...
"Evan" Ian started "I am going to kiss you" his words coming out with determination.
Before I could stop him or even react I felt his soft, warm lips touch mine lightly.
His scent becoming more dominate.
His warmth surrounding my body.
Millions of tiny sparks running through my body.
I'm not sure what came over me...
Maybe I just wanted to revel in this new emotion...
Maybe I've lost my my mind...
But instead of pushing him away I closed my eyes welcoming him...
