(Starting to rework with beta readers)
She was taken in the night.
She was never supposed to be found.
When Mara Ellison falls asleep on Earth, she believes the universe is empty.
She wakes up to proof it isn't.
Abducted by predatory aliens and dragged light-years from home, Mara survives only because a Xenoparan Vigil commander interrupts a crime already in motion. Aesryn Threx Kal is trained for restraint, discipline, and sanctioned violence. He is unprepared for humans-least of all a woman who refuses to break simply because the universe expects her to.
Protection turns into proximity. Proximity turns into trust. And trust becomes something far more dangerous than either of them anticipated.
Because bonding with a Vigil is permanent.
Because first contact changes everything.
And because humans are brave in ways no protocol accounts for, emotional in ways that destabilize command, and dangerous precisely because they refuse to know their place.
As alien councils watch, protocols fracture, and Earth edges closer to discovery, Mara and Aesryn must navigate desire, power, consent, and the cost of choosing each other in a universe that does not forgive mistakes.
The Vigil & The Human is a science-fiction romance about first contact, found family, feral shopping sprees, emotional support snacks, and falling in love with someone built like a weapon who chooses to be gentle anyway.
Perfect for readers who love:
slow-burn, consent-forward alien romance
terrifyingly competent heroes with soft cores
sharp humor layered over real emotional stakes
"touch her and die" energy paired with "ask first" restraint
