The story follows Lena and Ethan, two individuals navigating the desolate cityscape where once-thriving streets now echo with emptiness and fear. Confined to her apartment, Lena struggles with the monotony and isolation that have become the new norm. She finds herself reaching out through a virtual app called "Connect," a government-backed platform designed to help people cope with the solitude of lockdown. Through this digital medium, she meets Ethan, an artist who has also been cut off from his world of inspiration and community. As Lena and Ethan connect over shared experiences and mutual support, they begin to form a bond that transcends the barriers of their physical separation. Their bond is a beacon of hope in a desolate world, as they explore themes of resilience, hope, and the human need for connection, even in the face of overwhelming uncertainty. But as their relationship grows, so do the challenges of navigating a world that the virus has irreversibly changed.

He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace.

Star Kissed by LizzyFord

When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.

So far, the only witnesses have been her parents, and that didn’t end well. She has no control over it and no idea why it happens to her. She wants answers. He has answers—at least he understands what’s going on. He has a secret, too. He’s part of an organization that goes back in time to rewrite reality. But he also has a problem. He broke the organization’s number-one rule by altering his own timeline. As punishment, he’s been blocked from time travel, which is most unfortunate. Because the changes he made to his timeline, accidentally resulted in disaster for his family. A disaster he’s now prevented from repairing. No one can travel beneath the organization’s radar except a Shadow. But they’re rare, so rare he’s never even met one. Then he moves to her town. This is sci-fi/fantasy. Lite on the sci-fi, big on romance.
