Alpha Bound

In a future where survival depends on trust, love may be the most alien discovery of all.

In the year 2153, sarcastic scientist and reluctant leader Riley Thorne joins an elite team on a mission to determine the habitability of Planet Alpha-a world of twin moons, strange bioluminescent flora, and secrets buried beneath the soil. After crash-landing and losing contact with Earth, Riley must guide her mismatched crew through survival, discovery, and unexpected alliances.

But when a mysterious alien woman named Velkynna saves Riley's life, everything changes.

Velkynna is not just otherworldly-she's powerful, graceful, and emotionally guarded. As Riley and her crew slowly adapt to their new environment with Velkynna's help, a deeper bond forms between the alien healer and the sarcastic human leader. What begins as cautious trust evolves into something far more intimate-complicated by language barriers, cultural clashes, and the ever-present threat of the unknown.

Told through Riley's sharp, witty perspective, this slow-burn sapphic sci-fi romance blends action, emotional depth, and alien wonder. As the crew uncovers ancient truths and grapples with their place in a foreign world, Riley must decide what she's truly willing to risk-for her mission, her people, and the woman who has already stolen her heart.
