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.

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!

Her Mate - Olivia (The Gray Wolves Series #1)
Suddenly, I feel a hand that intertwines mine. The touch is warm but still not enough to comfort me after the news I've just got. I feel someone is leading me out of the office. Nothing is really clear to me. I barely see my parents, Julie and Eli's face as the hand keeps on pulling me away from them. No more links with Elijah. I don't know if I closed my mind or if he did. But I can't feel him anymore. My feet follow the lead. I raise my head and I see that the Prince is calmly leading me to the stairs. Before we start to climb the stairs, I feel a hand on my lower back while the other is still intertwined with mine. The Prince looks at me and no emotions can be read on his face. Does he have a heart? Can lycan love as gently as wolves? A wolf would be difficult to live with as a human. How is it going to work with a lycan? Is it even possible? I've never heard of such a thing. What has Moon Goddess done? Olivia is the daughter of the Blue Lakes Pack's Alpha and twin sister of the soon-to-be Alpha. Despite her Alpha bloodline, Olivia never got the chance to meet her wolf. Without a wolf, Olivia has the choice to stay in her pack or travel the world and live among humans. But the day she turns 20, when her brother becomes the new Alpha, nothing goes as expected. When some rebellious wolves threaten to attack, the Royal Lycan Family decides to send one of the Princes to take care of the situation. What happens when a kind Wolf-less girl meets a mysterious Lycan Royal Prince? One thing is sure: Olivia's journey will not be the one she expected.

He lifted his head, their eyes met, and they understood each other's intentions. 3. It's undeniable, these were the most beautiful and clear eyes Flame Wave had ever seen.

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)Complete
